Bar Ganadara

Great bar to hang out with friends, drink and eat well. Not too dark nor too noisy. The food menu has a lot of different options. The menu changes quite frequently. Portions are generous and prices are fair. Highly recommend the tteokbokki rose and the fried chicken. The service was decent, nothing wow but nothing to complain about.

Ganadara Bar is the perfect date night spot of you're looking to impress your date with fresh Asian flavours. The interior decor is nice and the vibes are more on the casual side. The food is definitely the highlight of the place though. We ordered the tuna tataki 10/10 definitely recommended if you love raw tuna. The sauce, the salad underneath and the seaweed wraps made this dish very flavourful and well though out. We also ordered the grilled squid, which was lightly seasoned but perfectly cooked. I would also have it again. And last but not least we ordered the truffle fries. Those were good but they could have used a bit more truffle flavour. Also keep in mind they used truffle oil, not real truffles but that was expected. The prices are reasonable but it will depend how much you plan on drinking.

Honestly we were surprised by how delicious this place was. We went to the restaurant location before and the food quality there compared to the bar is big. The waiters are nice and attentive. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the Samgyeobsal Kimchi and the beef udon. The bulgogi nachos I would say didn’t need the bell peppers but that’s just personal preference.

Had been craving Korean food for a while. Food was ok, but the service was horrendous. The server didn't speak french, which although definitely not cool,I could have overlooked. It took 10m upon arrival to get menus. We ordered appetizers but all the food came out at once. 2 out of 4 guests didn't get their drinks before the food was brought out. We had to remind them and they brought the wrong beer. We were asked how to split the bill before we where all done eating and without being offered coffee or dessert and the place wasn't packed. Truly disappointed.

The decor is nice, but the food doesnt quite compare to it. There were no pictures in the menu so the portions kinda put me off balance for a first time client. I ordered the salmon & scallop dupbap, except for the insanely small portion, the salmon was good though. I was looking forward to eat the Shrimp Cajun Udon, but it left me dissapointed. The creamy sauce tasted like ramen sauce packets and was too salty. But the shrimp seemed fresh and i enjoyed it. So i would recommend trying a different udon meal. I also tasted the beef sotbap, the meat was pretty tender and i liked it, i recommend. As for the service, it was okay. Although the waiters kept asking us if we were ready to order, as we’ve just sat down not long ago.

The food was very good. I recommend the beef sotbap and the fried chicken. The service is okay but the food arrives whenever they feel like it. There was about a 20 minute difference between the first person receiving their meal and the last person getting their meal and we were only 3 so I can’t imagine being a big group. The appetizer also arrived after the meal which is unusual. If you go in the winter you should ask for a table in the back because it gets very cold with people opening the door and everyone was asking to move because they were freezing if they were sitting close to the door.

Not my best Korean restaurant, the food here is decent. I highly recommend the seafood udon, the dumplings and the soju drink. The place is usually crowded so make a reservation in advance.

Bar Ganadara is an absolute gem! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, with flavors that left a lasting impression. What truly stood out was the excellent customer service—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed. Whether you’re there for a meal or just drinks, the overall experience is top-notch. Highly recommended

Unfortunately, our experience here was underwhelming. The soju was overpriced, and the food menu didn't offer anything that caught our attention. We ordered a strawberry soju while browsing the QR menu, but after not finding anything that appealed to us, we decided to leave and grab food elsewhere. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity. BG could be a fun spot if the offerings were better aligned with the price.

Good atmosphere Tasty food Fast service Reasonable prices I highly recommend this place

This place was recommended to me by a friend as we had to pick up take out for her cousin after our trip to MTL (you know its good when someone is willing to make you drive 5+ hours for it). I highly recommend making a reservation and their minimum booking size is for 3 people. The one thing holding me back from giving 5 stars was how long it took for the waiters to take our order, I think we waited about 10-15 minutes after we were seated before they stopped by the first time around and we had already made up our minds on what to order. I was a bit undecided on what to get, but another yelper suggested the pork rib cream udon. The meat peeled off the bone cleanly and the udon was a step above other places I have been to. Atmosphere trends towards the darker side but the decor well makes up for it. As always pictures below!

Came here on our trip to Montreal was so happy to see Korean food lol the food was good and hit the spot. We enjoyed the la galbi the most

The seafood sundubu was tasty and hearty! We also shared the fried chicken (big pieces) and endive salad (nice presentation). Had colorful cocktails. However, would have been nice to leave when we wanted since the resto was not full (seems like they have a 2 hour limit).

With a line out the door, Bar Ganadara is definitely a hot spot for Korean fusion food and drinks. The drinks are pretty cheap and the food was good. We tried: - Takoyaki - super crispy, hot and tasty - Bulgogi Kimchi Poutine - huge portion with tons of ground beef but lacked bulgogi flavour - Grilled whole squid - very tender but could use more salt/soy sauce - Cajun shrimp creamy udon - loved this. creamy and peppery sauce with snappy shrimp - Pork belly tantan udon - peanuty, savoury broth and satisfying slabs of pork belly - Skittle bombs - Aloe Marine pitcher reservations are highly recommended and you're almost guaranteed to be waiting in line at night. the inside is crowded and is definitely a vibe with loud music and drinks flowing. bathrooms are kinda gross.

Only been here twice but it's an instant classic for me. The food is so delicious. I've also had two of their cocktails the peachachu and yoghurt soju and both were amazing and this is coming from a non-drinker. Highly highly recommend. Reserve in advance because this place is very popular and the lines can be very long. I really recommend the sweet potato fries that come with maple syrup on the side as an appetizer and the pork rib cream udon as your meal. It's so filling and flavourful. The rib falls off the bone. But you can easily eat the udon ribs as your only plate as the portion is huge! I've also tried the duck aioli udon and although very good, it's a smaller portion. I understand it's due to the meat being more expensive so it's fine. But keep in mind if your hunger level is big.

Wow - bulgolgi, kimchi poutine - the best! Now for something different - Ganadara scores with a wait! Depend upon waiting - but the servers are working hard! A really busy place (food is no wonder good! And crowded, so if you show up at peak times, we waited 20 min, so I've warned you - worth the wait! Make the visit!

We went here after receiving a recommendation from the barista over at Tommy Cafe. Our previous dinner experiences in the city didn't hit the spot, so we were very looking forward to our experience here, and it hit. FOOD We shared a galbi and yogurt soju alongside some rice. The galbi was on the thinner side than what we were used to, but it still tasted amazing. It was seared and marinated to perfection, and we couldn't be happier. We also tried ordering the bingsoo here, but their machine was broken, so we don't have any thoughts here. They do have a pretty wide range of selections though from banana caramel, matcha, strawberry, mango, and dalgona. DRINKS And the soju? DANGEROUS. Sweet, delicious, and does not taste like alcohol in the slightest. You could easily down a few of them without realizing you're intoxicated. We only got one drink, so we saved ourselves in that regard. SERVICE Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, especially as we were sharing our order. She was also quick to come out with our check when we asked for it as well. This place is definitely geared towards young adults/college students, so if you're looking for a hip place to eat and vibe, this is the place for you.

First time trying this spot and definitely won't be back. Service was extremely slow and inattentive. After being seated and waiting 10+ minutes, the server came up to us and said "what do you want?" So much for customer service! The food was unfortunately really gross. We've tried many Korean spots and this place just didn't do it. Food was over salted, udon noodles were way over cooked and mushy and the meats were low quality. Skip this place. Not worth it.

TLDR: Great drinking and food spot for dates and friends - cocktails do not disappoint and the food is drool worthy! The cherry on top to this experience is how beautiful the place is. MAIN POINTS Food: I ate through a majority of the menu and drink list when I first visited just because of how delicious everything was. The Lobster Miso Cream Udon is so rich and the lobster tail holds so much delicious and fatty meat - you'll genuinely wish you ordered seconds. My second favourite is the the bulgogi poutine which is the perfect combination of crispy crunchy and saucy bites that pair well with alcohol. Restaurant - Vibes are on point and the place is well cleaned and decorated. Very Instagram friendly! Service - This place does get busy during after work hours so try to reserve to avoid the wait or come in earlier to avoid a heavy crowd! Wait staff is really friendly and informative - making it a very welcoming staff to new and old visitors.

Went to this place with a large group for an event. I love the cool decor, it makes for a very neat vibe with the interesting fixtures hanging from the ceiling. They are able to accommodate large group reservations, which is nice. The menu is a lot of fusion but also more traditional leaning Korean dishes. I ordered the poutine with braised meat and coriander and kimchi. It was very good if a bit weird to my Asian tastebuds, putting coriander whole and not even diced up was a weird decision. Not sure if they intended it as a garnish or to be eaten like that. The poutine was very filling, so a good value for your money. My friends got the deluxe tteokbokki dish, which came with a ton of rice cakes and also seafood. I got to try some of it and it was very tasty indeed. I would come back to this place since the prices are reasonable and they have some interesting takes on Korean food.

Food was good, but they must've been short staffed because our server never checked in on us but then we actually saw some staff doing shots at one point with another table. Probably wouldn't go back which is a shame because I ate here once in 2019 and it left a lasting impression. Food pictured here was split between 3 people (not pictured: beef skewers)

My friends and I went here Saturday for early dinner as I was intrigued for the fusion food. The interior is absolutely beautiful but since we had no resos, we had to sit in the patio and it was an extremely humid day. I personally found the menu to be vague and limited. For example, it lists salmon poke but no additional details on what it actually includes and this was the same for most of the dishes on the menu. I ended up ordering the poke since I was curious as to what it includes. The dish itself looks pretty but I was quite disappointed. The poke had very very little salmon and the rest was just lettuce covered with crispy noodle pieces on top. With the little amount of salmon, I found this fish to be very overpriced for what it is. My friends also agreed that their dish could have been better and was overpriced. Overall, a great place for insta photos but not the best in terms of quality, taste, and cost.

Pleasantly surpised by their chef's 5 sashimi platter. It had all my favourite sushi selection for $38, i.e. ama ebi (big shrimp), hamachi (yellow tail), scallop, tuna and salmon)! I also had their salmon tataki which i really liked too. Definitely recommended.

Fast friendly service. Cool atmosphere. Tasty food. Great prices. Would go again and again!

We arrived late in Montreal so we wanted a spot that was open late and found Bar Ganadara. Loved the vibes here and it was still packed at 9pm. We ordered the pork rib cream udon, beef bibimbap and fried chicken. I thought the fried chicken would be appetizer sized but it came with 5 big pieces of chicken (and a spice sauce for dipping)! The bibimbap came with plenty of spicy sauce and a good mix of veggies. The beef was good quality, like some sort of steak cut? The pork rib in the cream udon was super tender and fell right off the bone! The cream sauce was very thick though and maybe a bit too heavy for me. Portions were pretty big and pricing was good. Service was quick too.

We loved it! We had a pitcher of cocktails that our server suggested based on what we said we liked. We chose 5-6 dishes to share and each was fantastic. The pork skewers were so good, we had to keep ordering more. Also, the decor here is mesmerizing. So nice to have had this place just around the corner from where we were staying for the weekend.

Bar Ganadara is a Korean resto-bar located on St. Catherine Street, in downtown Montreal, Quebec. I used to go to that restaurant quite often during the summers, and enjoy their fresh dishes and cocktails on their outdoor terrace. Their meals translate really well into delivery as well, so now I continue enjoying them in the comfort of my home. On the menu: * GNDR Salmon Salad (Spring mix, GNDR smoked salmon, tobiko, feta cheese, hard boiled egg, carrots and capers. Dressing: Yuzu, garlic soy sauce and sesame oil.) * Curry chicken poutine (Excluding hot peppers and pickled vegetables) The GNDR Salmon salad is massive, but quite light. It came with very fresh tasting, large strips of smoked salmon and a wide variety of fresh vegetables, mixed together and covered with the light and sweet dressing mixture. The curry chicken poutine is my go to poutine, whenever I need a poutine fix. Smoky, grilled slices of chicken, abundance of cheese curds, great fries and a "to die for" curry poutine sauce, make it for a memorable flavour experience every single time. I order my poutine without hot peppers and pickled vegetables, which usually come layered on top. But if you'd like more of a kick to your meal, that would be a perfect option for you.

Ganadara bar has always been my go to place for drinks and bar food but this last time I went it really wasn't that great We got the garlic chicken wings which had a lot of fat and dough around the wings. I give that a 2/5 .. I literally couldn't eat it The chicken bibimbap was alright , nothing special .. usually they give a bibimbap sauce and in this instead of the sauce they put this chilli paste which didn't taste that great .. it was bland and just spicy (like they put chilli powder) but the chicken was good Prices were fine .. not so expensive that you couldn't afford it but also not really worth the dish tbh Chicken wings were 23$ before tax Bibimbap was 17$ before tax

Ganadara offers delicious food and their sangria is amazing. The day that we went the place was particularly crowded knowing that we are living a pandemic. Very hot and humid temperature where everyone was with a piece of paper fan (which was the actual menu) fighting the heat. That being said I wanted to reiterate that there food is really good and flavoured.

Bar Ganadara.. one of my favourite restaurants! Prior to covid, I would go there as often as I would say once a week. Their menu has so many items that anyone can find at least one item that they would love. The seafood platter don't always have the same sashimis. You would have to ask the staff what is on their menu for the week. Trust me, this is probably one of the best seafood platters that you can find in the city at their prices! The small and large platter are placed beautifully with fresh seafood. Their skewers are lightly charcoaled and very well seasoned. The price point for the skewers are extremely affordable. The chicken thigh skewers are tender and has a nice char on the outside. The takoyaki has the perfect consistency. The cream udon with ribs... ohhh mmmmmm geeeee it is such an amazing comfort food. The udon is soaked in a creamy cheesy sauce topped with some bbq ribs that just melt when you remove it from the bones. I absolutely recommend getting take out at Ganadara as their food quality and services remain the same and honestly I am so happy that this restaurant is still open! Please try this restaurant and support all the local restaurants as they are all struggling right now! Check out their menu on Instagram, prepare yourself with a food tray or portable small table, bring a friend or your partner in the car, order the food by calling their phone line and enjoy their food in the car with some good music! Just do it! Support your local & stay safe! Trust me, Ganadara's food will not disappoint you!

My family and I always loved Ganadara and used to line up for minutes to even hours in order to taste their food. Their quality went down within the last few months before their closure, but they definitely picked up where they left off at Bar Ganadara. I came here when it first opened before and the selection of dishes keeps on growing and growing. I will review each dish separately. This dish was shared with my dearest friend and we were 2 to enjoy this meal. To start off, the ambiance is amazing, the sanitary precautions are followed and there was a small lineup only on a Friday night. The decor is stunning! Salmon Tartare: The tartare is exquisite and very fresh. The seasoning is just right and you're always craving for more. (I even had to order 2!). I highly recommend getting this dish! Sadly, the Tuna Tartare was not available so I'll definitely try that last time. Sashimi Platter: The fish were fresh. The price was fair as well. Having tasted the most expensive sashimi tray before, I'd recommend getting this instead as you will get more bang for your buck! The plating is amazing as well. Corn Cheese: For 18$, I was somewhat disappointed with this dish. The authenticity of this dish is there, but the price point is a huge let down. I tried this dish as it caught my attention and had a craving for cheese. Needless to say, I won't be getting this again as I can make this at home for a fraction of the price. As for the taste, it was mediocre at best and could have used a bit more cheese. Grilled Squid: A wonderful appetizer. The squid taste is conserved and well seasoned throughout the whole dish. It remained hot for a long time (but not that long since it was finished rather quick). I highly recommend this dish if you are a fan of seafood. Jok ValJean: I ordered this dish as I saw it in their instagram post and I have mixed feelings about this. The original dish would be called Jok Bal, and the cut would involve pig trotters ("feet"). The twist made with pork belly was satisfying, but did not have that fatty essence from using pig trotters. Overall, the seasoning was good, but it definitely could have been "better". Overall, Bar Ganadara delivered and I definitely will come back here more than once. If you have not given it a try, it's never too late. Plan ahead as there is most certainly always a lineup, especially if you decide to go later at night (it is a bar after all). P.S. Also try their drinks as they have tons of options and loads of soju flavours to choose from!!!

I love Bar Ganadara and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a drink and good food in a cozy, clean, casual yet stylish place! We went there yesterday so I want to highlight the measures they've put in place to safeguard customers and their workers from Covid-19: 1. When you enter you need to wear a mask. All their food servers are wearing masks, too. Since it's difficult to gauge your age with the mask, don't be surprised to be asked to show your ID. 2. There'a a hand sanitizer at the door for everyone before you go in 3. The menu is disposable! They photocopied the menu so you won't have to touch yucky laminated menus or ipads! 4. When assigning tables, they keep at least one table empty in between occupied tables to respect the social distance required. 5. You may, of course, remove your mask when seated but you have to wear it when you walk around like if you have to go to the washroom. I felt safe and still enjoyed our dine-in experience!

This place has a nice decor with wood accents and high chairs. The waitor we had was really nice and helpful. We had: Eel dolsot: Dolsot is a stone bowl that remains hot. After mixing you should wait before eating. The rice at the bottom will crisp and give a nice crunch. The eel is well seasoned, a little on the sweet side. There's also some salad leaves which i don't like so much as they become mushy since the bowl is so hot. But the general taste is really good and satisfying. Sweet potato fries: loved!! Crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. The mayo also is really good. I think there wad garlic and lemon in. Korean style chicken wings: Really liked this dish as it included a lot of vegetables including asparagus, potatoes, carrots, bamboo shoots etc. The chicken wings had a lot of meat on them. Whole calamari: this was also very satisfying. Same mayo as the fries. Not too chewy but steamed just enough.

I am a big fan of the original Ganadara restaurant but after a 10 minute wait in minus 20C cold weather, I was done with the wait. I took out my phone and googled Bar Ganadara, the sister site that was only a block down the street. Given there was construction going on top of the building it was harder to locate. With the winter entrance (curtained off to stop the cold), it gives off a speakeasy vibe but you'll be surprised. This place is happening! The music, the decor, the crowd- I was feeling all of it. I came after work for a quick bite on a Friday so I opted to sit near the bar. I ordered a bunch of food: the takoyaki skewer was really good (5/5), the kimchi (4/5), the Nagasaki udon noodles (6/5) that hot broth in my cold body was exceptionally delicious. The cocktails were fun- I had the yogurt soju one for 10$ that was recommended by the barmaid-it tasted like an icecream float! The downside was the seating arrangement, it gets crowded and congested quickly and in the winter they should do a better job blocking off the winter cold because I had to eat with my coat on the whole time.

+ lot of variety of drinks and food. Decor is very amazing! Customer service is good. Music is great! Drinks are good. Clean tables and bathrooms. - food wasn't very good. Not very tasty. Expensive! Go for drinks between friends. Don't recommend to eat. Enjoy :)

A regular at Ganadara, we decided to try out their Bar during a night out! We ordered Nachos, Potato Wedges and Crispy Chicken for the table to share. Everything was delicious, but the Crispy Chicken was definitely a favourite. Drinks were good too! Service was excellent and friendly!! When they found out we had a birthday boy at the table, they sent a round of shots! Definitely coming here again!

Nice spot in Montreal. Probably one of my favouritea with the best bingsu in town. The dessert menu seems like more various than some spots. They have beers and cocktails, like all the others bars. I like its cozy ambiance and its music (mostly Korean music). The decor is pretty great, food is okay.

Very good atmosphere with nice servers. They're all good looking and provide the best service. They have dining time limit but you'll have enough time. Food is outstanding! $15 for 5 pieces juicy fried chicken, delicious Korean red sauce. The udon is big! It's a restaurant portion instead of bar/izakaya portion. The pig intestine skewers are juicy super good. Dessert bingsu is shaved ice? Very thin and soft, like eating snow. I order one for 2 people but we can't finish it. Overall a very good experience with very good food.

Love this place, went here for dinner and the food is really good also the drinks are delicious too. The yogourt soju brings back like childhood memories because it's made with yakult! It would be such a good place to pre-game with friends before going out. Their menu and drinks menu looks so bomb and i can't wait to go back to try more!

One of the go to bars amongst my girlfriends and I. We love the food here and the drinks and service are good too. Pleasant atmosphere! I personally love the sashimi platter (chef's assorted platter) the most on the menu and their fried chicken as well as negasaki ramen/udon is good too. I recommend calling to reserve in advance if you want to come on a weekend! Line ups can get long.

Service Great Service! The staff was very attentive. No complaints. They placed our orders promptly. Food & Drinks A group of us went for drinks and bingsu. Their menu had drinks, snack foods, and dessert. We loved the yogurt soju ($28) and go two orders. I must say they had more ice than liquid, but the price was reasonable. The bingsu was overpriced in my opinion. Small portions so it was very difficult to share. The portion size was good for one person. The Injeolmi bingsu did not have rice cake/mochi/dduk. The tiramisu bingsu came with a shot of espresso and was loaded with lady fingers. The bottom had cookie crumbles. Overall, both were average.

Inviting from the outside, wandering streets between Ste. C and Sherbrooke looking for light fare after 8 PM on a Monday......many options, but I made a good choice. Entry process was friendly and painless, not too many seating options for a party of 1, music was present but not intrusive. Service was great: two or three servers took care of me, hard to tell with the masks, had water in a nice metal cup and a White Dog....too sweet, maybe next one with soda water not SPRITE, not too hungry Korean aubergine salad was delicious, Bombay poutine was overwhelming, took more than half home in a nice GREEN container. Paying was easy, exit was easy. Would return with my crew for fun n food n a pitcher of less sweet White Dog.

This is my go-to bar hands down. It's in the perfect location, the staff are very pleasant and I can always manage to get a last minute reservations for groups! I have been here many times, although this is my first review of the place. I normally get their combos of food and drinks, which come with a pitcher of beer, nachos, potato wedges and fried chicken! The portions are quite generous, so it's great for sharing and their food is quite good! For nachos, you have the choice to top it with bulgogi beef or pulled pork (both are delicious). They also have a variety skewers, and a delicious salmon and eel bowls! As for drinks, the yogurt soju cocktail is great! They also offer a selection of flavoured soju (apple, grapefruit, peach, grape) - however, not all flavours are usually in stock so hopefully you're lucky. As much as the staff are friendly, sometimes it feels like they are under staffed and it can be quite hard to get a hold of one. Despite this, the food service is decent, I've never waited too long for my food. Overall, the food is good, the price is quite fair and affordable and the staff is pleasant! The only reason why this bar lost a star would be because they usually don't have the drinks or the soju flavour bottle I want and how difficult it can be to get a waiter/waitress. I'd recommend this place for groups, and since it's quite a popular spot, a reservation would be ideal during on Friday and Saturday!

Went there after being disapointed by the food from another restaurant. We needed a quick fix and drinks to drink away our sorrows. Went there on a Saturday evening around 7pm, and we ended up leaving around 2am. I guess the ambiance was good so we stayed. At first, it was pretty empty. But as the evening/night got along, it started filling up, and around 11pm/midnight it was pretty full. Food-wise, we ordered a combo which included a plate of fried chicken with potatoes, bulgogi nachos and a bottle of soju, which was perfect for us to start the night. The food is comparable to their main restaurant Ganadara, which is like a block away and super hyped with line-ups all the time. Ambiance-wise, when full, it was alive and nice. Service was good also. Overall, asian food/snacks with asian drinks are a great combo!

My girlfriend and I came here rather late looking for some late night eats and I'm glad we stumbled upon this place when it seems that there weren't many quality asian options open past 9:30/10pm. We were famished after a day trip to Tremblant and were looking for some carb-filled dishes. Luckily Ganadara just had the right things in their sauted bulgogi udon and their salmon dupbap (hoedupbap). The udon still had very much the flavor profile of bulgogi and was more of a saucy version as opposed to a dry stir fried version. The noodles were nice and chewy and there were plenty of veggies. The dupbap was also pretty good. Their chogochujang was a bit off, as it was seemingly extra vinegary to the point it was almost on the cusp of sour. However, it was still was very much enjoyable. Just remember to mix the entire bowl for a more even tasting. And kudos for actually having spicy gochujang for once. I really liked the interior here, the tables/countertop were in a really unconventional manner but is aesthetically pleasing and works. Service was fine.

Finished work late and decided to have a late dinner. We ordered Chef's choice of sashimi, salmon ricebowl, bulgogi fried udon and skewers combo. The sashimi combo is amazing!!! Freshness is a must and the Chef did took care of that! The best part of all, they serve the sashimi with ice underneath- it's detailed, but it ensure the freshness from the first piece to the very last. The skewers combo is a fantastic idea, it gives you the chance to try a little bit of everything, I do wish the chicken skin to be a little bit more crispy but regardless, it's all very tasty.

Holy smokes... my friend from Montreal recommended me to this bar and let's just say... He did not let me down. This is probably one of the coolest and aesthetically pleasing Korean places I've been to. Service is friendly and amazing (very cute female/male servers too by the way). As for the food. I was more impressed than anything else. I've pretty much ordered everything on the menu in the skewers BBQ side (like 6 orders of everything...we had a lot of takeout too...). It would be best to go with more people so you can order everything and share. It's definitely a lot better to eat a piece of everything than eating the same thing all night. Skewers wise, can't tell you which one would be better to order. Completely depends on personal preference of meat, but the SEAFOOD UDON... HOLY FISHES... It was awesome. Flavours are on point and the soup doesn't just taste like water and cheap seasoning. You can actually taste the seafood in the soup base! (this does not happen often so I got a little excited and also because I had a shot or two of alcohol before I ate...) OH YEA... they've got pretty interesting alcohol too. Don't drive because you're going to drink whether you like it or not.

I've noticed the wooden tables in the back being sticky pretty often. I'm assuming it's because of the constant spills of beer and soju from the bar's patrons but it was off putting when we were sitting there. Food is still good, out not the same quality as it used to be.

Perfect place to hang out with friends with some amazing food. Vast selection of drinks and asian cocktails. The food is different from the main ganadara restaurant so it doesnt feel like eating the same things. The skewers set and the salmon dupbap is a must. The staff is friendly and nice and the service is great. The place is clean and the ambience is great. Highly recommended, especially if you like kpop :P

I really like their cold dishes. The Botan ebi (sweet shrimp) is amazing! MUST TRYYY Scallops sashimi dish alright. More sour than I expected. Overall food is great!

If I lived in Montréal, I'd probably swing by Bar Ganadara every weekend. This is a solid spot for tapas and drinks at a reasonable price, not to mention the aesthetics is on point! I came by with my boyfriend on a Wednesday night and we were pretty much seated right away at the bar. We ordered two drinks (Toktok + Seoul Mate) as well as a few skewers, takoyaki and the bulgogi nachos. The drinks were good, the skewers + takoyaki were definitely my favorite and the nachos really topped everything off. I do want to mention though, that the nachos didn't have as much bulgogi as we were hoping for (it was mostly chips) but still it was a good experience overall. I think this would be a great place for groups or even for dates. Definitely give it a try if you haven't already!

Love this place, I am regular, new items are added or modified every few weeks, so I never get bored of going there. Bar Ganadara is a good place if you want to grab a bite or just hang out with your friends and have a drink or two. The menu is really affordable which is perfect for students. My favorites are the salmon dupbap, the skewer set, umouk tang, the bulgogi nachos, and the injeolmi bingsu. I have tried most dishes on the menu and never thought that anything was bad. I look forward to my future nights at Gana Bar.

Came back and loved it this time. The creamy udon is delicious and the scallop was good. Service was a lot better and I enjoyed it. Would come back again. good place for groups.

Really enjoy this place, I think it's a great spot for late night hangouts and catching up with friends. They have a good selection of tapas and meals if you're a little hungry. The atmosphere is nice, service is pretty good every time I've visited. I love they serve dessert which I've been going mainly to this place for a while (since I have a late night sweet tooth), but they have cut down the portions to almost half, if not less for their bingsu very recently. Still a fan of this place but a little heartbroken over their dessert portions. Still giving them a 4 star even though my dessert heart says 3.

Try "Bulgogi Nachos", a creative style of Nachos comes with thiny sliced beef, cheese, sliced peppers, onions and avocado sauce. Waitress/waiters were friendly overall, always with a lovely smile. * Really don't like the interior design. It's not a good idea for hanging wood sticks thickly dotted on the perspective of Fengshui.

Ya'll, can we all please keep Bar Ganadara in business? I will admit, I was not a fan of Ganadara (the location on Maisonneuve) but this location is completely different! Far more stylish, delicious food, good price, what more can you want? I came here on a lazy Sunday evening right before a downpour of rain, feeling not very hungry. When we arrived, we were seated immediately in a quiet area behind a screen near the front door. The decor is very moody and lounge like. Perfect to grab a drink in the afternoon or for a small group of people to eat dinner. Their AC was not working, so the hostess checked with us several times that we were sure we wanted to sit there. While we were fine initially, it did get quite hot by the time we finished our meals. She was very helpful in recommending items from the menu and we decided to start with takoyaki and get the salmon dupbap and fried chicken. These portions were so generous, especially the fried chicken, and absolutely delicious. We left feeling happy about how little we spent and how happy our bellies were. I highly recommend this place to others. It does get busy and a little crowded, but definitely worth the price. Can't wait to come back and try more things.

I only went once with friends, but the Espresso Bingsu (shaved ice) was great. It was a tirimisu in shaved ice form, it didn't come out frozen. There was a shot of espresso to pour into the bingsu. The bingsu was soft, no chunks of ice in it. There were lady fingers and cheesecake bits (they were larger than the size of their tony spoons) in addition to their shaved ice. There weren't that many people inside when we went on a Saturday night, but it might also be because it's fairly new. It's pretty dark with music, but that's you would expect from a bar. But the hanging wood pieces looked really low, even for someone who's 5'3. My only real complaint would be the price of the bingsu. After tax, a little over $10. It was good but it was a little overpriced.
