Price: Expensive
• Contemporary American • Downtown
Booked 60 times today
Where the old school diner and modern cocktail bar meet, Deville Dinerbar is the gathering place to indulge in American-inspired comfort food in downtown Montreal.It’s a story of three brothers celebrating their love of the past, whose fond memories of summer road trips with mom and dad was a foodie’s ultimate adventure. With stops to various diners all along the east coast, the boys were forever hooked on its exciting cuisine and knew they had to spread their gospel of diner love to the masses.Years later they did just that. Deville Dinerbar isn't simply an homage to diners of yesterday but a creative outlet allowing the brothers to transform dishes and drinks for today's modern tastes and trendsetting sensibilities.

    It is a fun place with an energetic vibe to have dinner or drinks. We shared the tuna tacos and a large salad, which were very good. The serving sizes are large so we decided to share. Our server was excellent.

    We enjoyed our dinner to the fullest. It was a little hard to find since the restaurant does not have a sign which is an intentional decision apparently. However, we liked this speakeasy vibe with no big crowd trying to get in waiting for the last minute cancellation.

    Lovely restaurant. We were there on a very cold day and coming from the outside into a warm, cozy, modern place felt amazing. We were offered a coat check, which was mind blowing for an American. We had reservations and we were seated right away , nice little table by the window. The restaurant was busy, lots of people enjoying themselves sipping wine and having conversations, so it was noisy, but in a good way. Our waitress was really attentive and pleasant. Food was great. I tried the bone marrow pasta, tasted delicious, but too much for me, and portion wise and “ too fatty “, in a good way though, I took it to go. My son really enjoyed it later. He also loved his NY steak. Amazing experience. I would totally come back and recommend.
