"Nestled inside downtown’s Le Mount Stephen boutique hotel (a former circa-1880s Victorian mansion), this all-day option offers an eclectic menu of traditional English cooking with nods to local Quebecois cuisine. The original wood walls and mouldings paired with leather banquettes and ornate chandeliers set an opulent scene, and while the fireplace is just for looks (it’s no longer actually functional), it still helps to set the mood." - Erinn Blicher

The high-ceilinged and woodworked facilities here also include two terrasses available for outdoor ceremonies or receptions, and they’ve wedding planners available to assist with decorations, menus, and vendors." - JP Karwacki, Ashley Joseph
"Set inside an immaculately restored mansion in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile district, the former residential area of wealthy anglophone industrialists, the focus here is on all things quintessentially British, with menu options ranging from the ubiquitous beef Wellington to others that possess a notable Québécois influence. If the prices seem a bit out of reach, come simply for the environment, grab a cocktail at the bar and people watch or try their weekend brunch option as an alternative." - Daniel Bromberg
"Bar George’s lavish Thanksgiving dinner is nothing short of a Disney movie banquet — minus the talking teacup. The several-course meal prepared by Le Mount Stephen’s posh restaurant, known for its Québécois take on British fare, has put together a buffet of foie gras torchon, spicy pork sausage, fine cheeses, and more. Takeout only." - Camille Cardin Goyer
"Samuelsson and his crew regularly end the night across the street at Bar George, a wood-paneled beauty in the 1883 Renaissance Revival home of a former railway tycoon (dinner for two from $125; bargeorge.ca)."
