Bord'Elle Boutique Bar & Eatery

If you love Burlesque, you’ll love this place. The dazzling performances of the cabaret dancers just catch the eyes. The service from our waitress was amazing. The team is devoted to making sure we are well treated. The food was so good too. I highly recommend making your reservation after 8pm to see more shows. The restaurant turns into a nightclub as the night goes through.

Love, love love this place!! Everything about Bord’elle screams Moulin Rouge vibe and brings you to another world. As soon as you walk in the decor is out of this world and the entertainment is classy but racy at the same time. The food was great, I ordered the short ribs entrees the meat was fall off the bone tender and everything was super decadent. There was a cook DJ all night playing good music and the after party got even more wild. I am absolutely going back and anyone who comes to Montreal from out of town should definitely hit this place up!!

Food was fabulous. I loved the service. I caught this place on F1 weekend. I went there for late dinner on the bar. Amanda was my server and she was just fabulous. The show was amazing. Converts into club after 11 PM

Such a cool experience! Dinner reservation at 9pm for a large group, service was great, food was amazing! We had a set menu which was fantastic with meat and vegetarian options! The shows only start around 9pm so make sure to book a late dinner! This place turns into a club around 10:30-11pm. Music was good and the shows throughout were fantastic. We stayed until around 12:30am. Coat check is free before 10pm. This place is pricy but the experience was totally worth it and the service was great! The women’s bathrooms were down some very very steep stairs, was pretty scary. But the bathrooms were incredible! The men’s bathrooms are on the main floor. Would recommend! It’s a pretty mixed crowd, lots of people in their 30s-50s. Good bachelorette party spot!

At very most mediocre experience. Food was good, but overpriced for a mid show. Spent 300$ to eat couple of plates, some drinks. Out of 2h spent there, ladies danced for 10 min far away. Plus, there was some random networking event blocking the views with wierdos just standing in the middle not even reacting to the show. Didn't enjoy not one bit. Not coming back.

The place is super classy with beautiful decor, perfect for a night out in Montreal. The food was delicious, and the vibe was lively with great music all night. Huge thanks to Mass for making sure we had an unforgettable night! -tasnim

Wanted to go to Bord’Elle for quite some time and finally the stars were align for me and my spouse to go. Decor is very burlesque and quite well done. We booked seating at 7PM to learn upon arrival that burlesque entertainment starts around 8:45PM which was very disappointing as our seating was from 7PM to 9:00PM. I don’t mind paying a bit more for the entertainment and experience but I expect to have for what I have paid which which in this case wasn’t the case. We saw 2 shows that lasted about 5 minutes each, from great performers from 8:45PM to 9:30PM. Food was amazing but very pricey given the fact the “show” was not there to back up those prices. We went to Les Nuits Shanghai at 10/30 last year which had more entertainment, very nice venue and excellent food with an overall better experience at lower costs.

Ignore all the negative comments this place is epic, if you want to have a good time. If you are worried about it being expensive go to McDonald’s lol, I had the best time here! ❤️ Thanks to Mirella for great customer service. ❤️

I went here for a bachelorette party and we had a blast! The performances happen about once an hour and it was such a fun vibe. We did the $88 table d'hote menu (you get to choose an appetizer and entree and it comes with the chef's choice of dessert). I had the salmon tartare (which was a pretty big portion for an appetizer) and Chilean sea bass (sooo good, perfectly cooked and the miso sauce had great flavor). The dessert was a cheesecake (not my favorite, a little too rich). Overall, this was a really fun spot and we had a great meal!

Kinda recommend this place. The food was good, the service was great. We had reservations at 7 pm, they have a huge line infront at 7:59 and didn't open till 7:01 pm which was kinda annoying because they were clear if we are late they will give out reservations away. They have two dinner services, so they basically forced us to leave the dinner, go to bar because they have 2nd dinner service. They sell reservations saying the place turns into dance floor and show, the show/performance was only 5-15 minutes towards the end of our dinner time.

Went to this place to celebrate my beautiful wife's birthday. The venue is located in old montreal and took advantage or the valet parking. For those who want to use public transit there is lots of options. The venue is an upscale restaurant and as soon as you walk in you say wow. The menue is a bit pricey but if you take the specials you are in for a treat. We started out with the Cesar salad The salad was crisp and dressing was a bit Spicey but your taste buds will thank you. I had the short ribs. The ribs and meat were fall off the bone. Seasoned well and is a must to try Came with roasted vegetables which we're season well and cooked adante My wife had the eggplant parmigiana. Seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The sauce was smooth and loaded with flavours. This is a must place to try when you want to have a great time and great food.

F1 weekend was awful. The food was great, but we were seated for 2.5 hours and didn't make it through 1/2 of the plates served. Not to mention the last 2 plates we had were lukewarm at best. The saving grace of our visit was our bartender Max. He was so wonderful, and did his absolute best to care for us while still manning the bar. Had it not been for Max, we would have left after waiting 50 mins for our first plate. Event coordinators: do not sit couples at the bar if their food orders are going to take 3x as long as the people seated at tables around them.

Well well well ... I finally managed to convince my husband to take me here to this raunchy and sexy Place it was a wild yet wonderful time! Ambiance: quite elite and entertaining... the place is fabulous and really caters to a higher end clientele.. 25 and plus. Service: impeccable!!! The moment you enter wether you decide to arrive by foot , uber/ bus/metro or car you are definitely in for a fabulous treat and experience. There's Valet service which was super convenient but we decided to stay at a hotel near the area so we can just uber and order all kinds of drinks and dance the night away!!! We didn't want to worry about driving back either with a few drinks in our system. The coat check was ready to take our jackets for free and handed me a beautiful rose for Valentine's day yaaay.. they greeted me with such kindness and definitely made me feel important! We came here for Valentine's day and they had their table d'hôte menu (69$) only and the regular menu was out of the question.. nonetheless, the menu was fantastic. For starters We had a complementary sparkling wine glass each Paired very well with my fish starter I had the organic salmon tartare with avocado guac and a pretty delightful heart crouton on top 5+++++/5 it was delicious and was very impressed with the portion size Fresh succulent and was in a euphoric moment with this dish alone. My husband went for their Caesar Salad with prosciutto and parmesan it was alright he did say he wished he had what I was having My main was an upgrade so I picked the seafood platter dish for an extra 25$ + 40$ for an extra dozen oysters as you can tell We loveeee them and they're known to be an aphrodisiac.. guess you know what that means ;) yeaaaa perfect for Valentine's day ahaha The platter came with 18 oysters, Royal Alskan King crab, a whole lobster declawed and cut open for us, and 2 jumbo shrimps wawawawawa I was amazed loved the platings .. it came with 3 different sauces : ( Garlic butter was my fave, the prosseco red wine shallot vinegar was my hubby's fave and the other one was salsa/ shrimp tartar sauce .. All I used was the Garlic butter it was amazing) Husband had the Solo Hawk Steak He asked the cook to be Charred and as per requested he got it .. we shared everything and everything was amazing the truffled mushrooms were to die for wooow and I'm not a steak fan but boy oh boy was I so pleased to have a bite of that steak it was cooked to perfection and super delicious. Desert : only one choice was a deconstructed cheese cake with strawberries and macaroons mmm my plate was completely devoured. The place turns into a crazy party around 10:00 and we had beautiful ladies entertaining us throughout the night in their cabaret / Bordelle outfits ;) And to be honest this was the nicest vibe and best Valentine's day I ever experienced with the husband felt really nice to dance and experience something way more different than a usual dinner seating. It was fun and service was nailed perfectly Overall, I definitely recommend this place for any type of event if you're into this type of scene very vegas type / European laissez faire and raunchy feel.. it was hot literally and metaphorically.. loved the experience totally recommend...

I went here back in august and the only thing that really stayed with me was how awful the experience was. paid around $300 Canadian for overcooked food just for my girlfriend to be harassed up front for not being 21 despite the law in Canada being 19+ for drinking age. On top of that, we got up after our reservation was over and my girlfriend wanted to sit at the bar to watch the show, they had overbooked that night so we were told to stand which isn't cool of them but I get it, stuff happens. The thing that really got me though was how entitled the bartender was. I bought a drink or two and tipped. My girlfriend bought a non alcoholic version and didn't tip 20% because it was literally a glass of juice and the bartender came up to us saying we made a mistake and press-ganged her into tipping. The ambiance is okay, it's styled like an old speakeasy with modern elements interwoven. Definitely don't recommend if you're visiting Montréal, this felt more like getting mugged than a night out. And by the way, it's not posted anywhere but the burlesque shows don't start until 9pm FYI. So if you're going for the gimmick make sure you go late.

Great evening. Mainly Christina V provided a magnificent service and made our evening bright and delightful. Her energy, her lively point of views and recommendations were simply marvelous. The restaurants ambiance was fun and lively. The food recommendations were tasty(drinks, tartare, raviolis, creme brule,...) with effective presentation.

First time visiting at the Thursday 5@7! We had a great time! The decor is a feast in itself. Our waiter was pleasant and super attentive. We sat at a table because we wanted to eat but make sure you reserve a table specifically, otherwise you might need to stand at the bar, which doesn't come with chairs. Although they did bring out bar chairs for a number of patrons. We ordered cocktails at $7 and had 6 of the $1 oysters for starters and they came out of the kitchen really fast! I really liked the freshness of the Cool Cucumber. We had mini burgers, Cesar salad and salmon tartar. When I asked our server if I could have a few more taro chips with the tartar, he brought me a plate with a few more! Overall cool venue, great energy and the staff we interacted with were all really nice. Some of the plates they used were just so pretty! Food was pretty good for the 5@7 prices so I wouldn't mind coming by again! Nice place to unwind after work. It does get a bit noisy towards 6:30ish as the place fills up.

The waitress, Sara, was incredibly horrid. From seating us, a party of 7 to paying the bill she was rude and overall nasty. Sara completely ignored two members of our party when taking orders. She displayed annoyance when asked for a menu for dessert. Then as the bill was circled and we began to pay out, many members of the group were terribly dissatisfied with her service and demeanor so decided not to tip and Sara carried out a tantrum, yelling at us that she will have to pay out at the end of the night and then slamming the card machine and grabbing credit cards from us. She eventually stormed off after demanding we tip her for her disrespect. Please talk to Sara so she can improve in her interpersonal skills and service.

Walking by the doorman was what caught my attention. Exclusivity and burlesque were on the menu so what could go wrong? I enjoyed my evening here on a beautiful night in Montreal. Some minor issues: I finally found a bar in Montreal serving my favorite, higher end tequila. Settling in my seat, I ordered one and was told I had to make my way to the bar to get it, even in the middle of my dinner..? This was odd but I didn't complain since the bartender was gorgeous. 100 bucks for my drink and they used one of those plastic, shot pouring toppers so they wouldn't screw up and give me 0.1 ounces more than the 100 dollars deserved. I hate that. Haven't high end restaurants realized their customers like and are willing to pay for excess. And would return for something simple like a generous pour? Oh well. I'll just pause my dinner four times and get up to get my hundred dollar, exacting drink. As a side note, the Classe Azul is that good and totally worth it when most places carry Patron as their "top shelf" stuff. Second was the food; it came out way too quickly to be prepared fresh. In fact my dish was a bit cold on the edges. They were pushing the seafood which I wasn't in the mood for so I'm guessing that was their specialty and I regret not going in that direction. Clearly their policy of moving tables through in two hours is strict. Finally, the show didn't come on until an hour and a half into our meal, but when it did it was excellent. Beautiful and sexy and definitely made for a fun evening. Montreal is always a great night out but I am aware the culinary standards are high; I would try this place again.

We stayed for 1 cocktail and decided to leave. The dress code at Bord'Elle is antiquated, sexist, and homophobic. Staff selectively apply the dress code to keep out gay men. They turned away a member of our party for dinner because he was wearing a high-end sleeveless shirt. According to the bouncer at the front, we should have known sleeveless shirts were not allowed for men because the confirmation e-mail said attire was "business casual." His sleeveless shirt looked much more on par with the dress standard of the restaurant than the man wearing a plain black t-shirt (not like a high quality designer black tee) inside, but he was allowed in. Meanwhile, the women in our party were happily not dressed business casual (barely-there bejeweled crop tops, visible bras, corsets, etc). We saw many women inside wearing short and backless dresses (everyone looked amazing, but not business casual), and that was all acceptable. The hostess was wearing a ver similar sleeveless shirt to the man in our party-- actually with a more casual looking fit-- and she could work there but he couldn't dine there. The rest of our party stayed for 1 cocktail, which was fine as far as speciality cocktails go, but nothing special. We saw the beginning of the burlesque show (I'm not sure if there was more), and the performer was very good although it was difficult to see at times. I would not return here until they rethink their definitions of "business casual" and how they selectively apply their vague dress code to guests based on antiquated, gender stereotypical, heteronormative standards.

Location: nearby old Montreal Parking: hard to find street parking; valet parking available for 17$ cash Coat check: mandatory and free Restaurant/bar: grandiose, elegant and beautiful Host/server: excellent with friendly and prompt service. Atmosphere: is vibrant with excellent burlesque show; great music by DJ, sadly, there was an obnoxious customer going around drunk hitting on every ladies, but he was an exceptional customer. Otherwise pretty cool vibes all around. Food: my salmon tartare was very bland, and my garlic and chives mashed potatoes was very salty. My old fashioned cocktail was full ice than drink itself; nice touch to my cocktail by a smoked s'more. Desert wise, we tried a giant cookie blueberry ice cream; the cookie almost burnt my tongue, and it was overloaded with sugar, thankfully it was balanced with blueberry and vanilla ice cream. Price: overpriced for the small portions. Overall it's a fun place, if i go back ever, it will be just for drinks and the show.

Came here with a group of almost 20 guys for a bachelor party, to be honest I have very low expectations when traveling with (1) a group that big, (2) a bachelor party - the staff has no reason to treat us well and they're going to assume we're all drunk ass holes (we weren't ass holes at least). The service was on point, they served us as a normal medium/high end place would, and I was surprised the food was actually quite delicious. I got the Caesar Salad and Short Rib, both dishes were really solid versions. Short Rib was fall of the bone (ok, that's almost always true), but they flavored it sufficiently well that it wasn't just a nice piece of short rib. Caesar Salad, you can only do so much above the norm, but it was done well. The desert was an interesting take on Carrot cake that we all enjoyed. We stayed for the club afterwards, which seemed like a normal club vibe, something I long ago lost interest in, but for those who like it...

I came here for a big birthday party - most of our first time and I'm literally giving four stars SOLEY because of our incredible server, NELSON. We were greeted and seated nicely as we made reservations. Nelson poured us drinks and was VERY attentive to our table - checked on us so often that it felt like we were the only group he was serving (maybe we were haha!) but it was seriously amazing. Our dinner came right away which was impressive but okay let's talk about the food.. Mediocre. For how expensive it was, the food wasn't up to par at all. The steak was tasteless and dry despite it being medium rare. Normally I could finish a steak dinner but this was definitely one of the rare occasions where I left nearly half of it for my fiance to finish it and he didn't even bother. The interior.. hmm. Okay, for a place known for being "boujee", the walls were breaking up and so were the sofas.. Cracks on the wall, paint job was peeling off and the leather of the sofas were coming off.. I mean.. with how much money it costs to spend time here, renovations even the slightest ones should be made. Buut the restrooms.. holy F how cool were they LOL! They were so beautiful and the chandeliers and all that for a restroom was actually insane!! So neat!! Now Nelson. When we ordered bottles, he came through right away. He even offered the guys if they would like girls to join our party! Hahah he was soo nice and going beyond for us. The most shocking, most touching part of his service? After his shift was done around 1am, HE CONTINUED TO SERVE US FOR TWO MORE HOURS. He said "no it's okay, just want to make sure you guys are okay" I HAD TO FORCE HIM TO GO HOME!!!!! We were sooooo thankful for Nelson, UNREAL. Never in my life have I seen a server go the length he did to accommodate our evening, for one of my best friend's birthday. Management of Bourdelle, please acknowledge Nelson in his work for this place. The only way we would come back is if we were sure to have him be with us again. The nicest, most genuine gentleman!!!! Thank you guys!

I went there with a couple friends on the evening of Friday November 26th after a corporate party and as we get there, the bouncer annouces that we cannot go in without a reservation to which we replied that we would be buying a bottle, so we would be good customers. He then asks me for my credit card and ID that they would hold until I paid at the end of the night (so they had a tab open for me). So we order a bottle and do not procede to drink it all as we didn't want to drink too much. As we were leaving, I realized I didn't have my cards. I then go back in to pay our bottle that we had taken. They give me the machine to pay with my card already in it and I tell them that we only drank one bottle (which is around $250 we were told). The machine showed a total of $651. I told them I would not be paying 400$ more than what we had actually ordered. They then proceed to bring me in a backalley room with the bouncer to try and intimidate me to pay and start roughing me up. Mind you, I am probably the least aggressive person when I begin to drink. So I was scared at this point. I tried contacting my friends but they weren't answering. So they held me "hostage" until I paid for a few hours. I had no way of reasoning with them, they were just trying to extort extra cash from me obviously and I was defenseless. All in all worst experience on the town I have ever had hands down. Not friendly whatsoever from beginning to end. They seem to have a reputation of shady stuff like this. If you have the option, don't ever go to this bar!

Service was terrible, food was only okay. Came here with a large group and ate off the group menu. When the food was brought out, multiple orders were wrong. The waitress wasn't very attentive, we had to flag her down to order more drinks.

Don't go here for the food!! Just go to drink and party and look at beautiful people. ;) Every time I come here to party I always have a great time. The music they play is a bit of everything and it gets packed! However I came her for a bachelorette to eat and party and the food was sadly disappointing. I had the poke bowl and it was so bland. At least the rice helped me soak up the alcohol I was about to drink that night which is more than I can say for some. I had some of my cousins tartare trio and it was meh. The beef one had too much mustard in it and the salmon and tuna tartares were nothing special. The cheese platter we got was huge and impressive in size but the cheese itself was not. My cousin said the cheese they gave us was like the type of cheese she gives her kids!! lol

We stopped here to see something different. It was unique with girls performing acrobatics while you were eating and some stage dancing. It was pricey though food a app and dinner was well over 100.00. Not sure I I'll go back, was worth the experience and it's somewhat romantic, but make sure to wear a collared shirt that is thE basic dress code.

All good things must come to an end. Every place I tried during my visit to Montréal was beyond amazing except this one. I really wanted to love this place. The restaurant is gorgeous but my experience was not good at all. The service was horrible. My girlfriends and I had a reservation and upon arrival we were seated at a table right in front of the entrance. How do you expect guests to enjoy their dinner when it's 30 degrees outside and you keep opening the door?! I'm truly not exaggerating. The hostess's even had on their coats! We asked if our table could be moved but we were told there weren't any other available tables. Management should definitely consider adding a curtain or something to prevent their guests from leaving due to weather conditions. Our server made the experience even worse with his rudeness and bad attitude. Against our better judgement, we went ahead and placed an order for a charcuterie board and drinks anyway, but after finishing we decided not to stay for dinner. The server became even nastier after we requested the check. The overpriced drinks are barely a 1 oz pour. We were so over this place. We went back to the restaurant that we had dinner at the night before which was La Champagnerie and ordered bottle service and had an amazing dinner.

This place is gorgeous. Went there on a Friday night, the music was great, the drinks were good, the bartenders were nice and helpful. The place isn't too small so you have space to dance with all of your friends. They have impressive stunt women performing every 30-40 minutes in the bar and even the DJ is a woman which I enjoyed seeing since that barely happens. My only issue with this place is how slippery the floor and stairs to get to the bathroom is. If you are wearing heels (which you most definitely are if you are at Bord'elle), it is absolutely HELL to go down these stairs, even worst if you've had some drinks. Please, do something about this. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place for clubbing

Three words: watered down drinks. Came here with my girls to celebrate one of the nights for my bachelorette. It was during the grand prix weekend, so my review is 5 months behind. We got the ladies package where we were given chips to claim drinks. Yes you heard me right. Chips like the ones you get at the gambling tables. The idea seems really archaic. Some of us didn't have purses, so girls with purses held onto all the chips. At the beginning, when my friend was distributing all the chips, some fell. It's a club...so it's dark and there's people everywhere. The funny thing is we dropped them several times throughout the night, and somehow they would magically disappear...we turned on our phone lights and formed a light tower with our phones but they were nowhere to be found. It's as if the moment the chips fell onto the floor, the floor opened up and sucked the chips in. Frustrating and really strange...there's got to be a better way of tracking drinks other than using chips. But you know what, had they actually served regular and not watered down alcohol, I wouldn't even be bringing up the chip issue because I'd be too tipsy to care. We each had 10 chips. I had over 10 drinks in the span of 2 hours - a combo of shots and mixed drinks and then some that friends bought, but barely felt anything. I'm less than 110 pounds. Normally 5 drinks gives me a good buzz. 10 will get me severely trashed. The group felt the same way. We all had a good amount to drink, but barely felt a buzz. Not cool man. Pulling something shady like this on one of your busiest weekends. It's no wonder barely anymore was dancing because nobody was buzzed. Third grip: female bartenders have sticks up their asses. Don't even look at you unless you're male. Probably just want more tip. Two stars because the place was gorgeous and really nicely decorated in the roaring 20's theme. Loved the burlesque performances they put on. And DJ was off the hook! Spinning everything from top 40s, to old school hip hop, and early 2000 jams. We danced our tail feathers off and sang our hearts out. Didn't care if we were sober and no one else was dancing. I had a blast with my girls but that's because we made the most out of the situation.

Very cool vibe and place! Went to the Door spoke with one of the bouncer don't recall his name told him because we were not from Montreal we would like to check the place out and he let one of the group check the place and it's popping. Very attentive and good service! Definitely a must! Mylene was excellent! Love the fact they enforce the dress code!

It's ok, the overall theme and services are pretty much at the level you would expect: You happily get ripped off because the lady wear sequins and dance on saxophone. Tiny portion of food and borderline rude staff. But hey, the lady danced for a full 8 minutes. The place is pretty much a selfie worthy place. You know, it's classy and expensive. So you got bragging rights.

Drove all the way from Ontario for my 33rd Birthday & was so excited to check this place out....Sadly we were very disappointed. We had a big lovely booth but as we were sitting looking over the menus a large group of people were standing in front of our table & even leaning into our booth making the whole experience very awkward. These people were pointing & talking poorly about everyone at our table. We had asked if they could move as they were just standing there, we missed the first preformance completely as they blocked our view. Our waitress did nothing even after we asked for a manager. They stood there for over an hour while we drank & some of our food arrived. At the end of the evening when we paid we tipped but not a large amount as our waitress was awful & rude. She proceeded to tell my friends they must have made a mistake because they did not tip her enough. I believe her name was Cindy. The only nice employees we had during our entire experience was the coat check girls as they said were you the table being blocked by the group of Americans? We said yes & they told us that group was bashing how we looked as we are heavily tattooed & in provocative dresses & didn't like us....we're at a Burlesque show so yes we went all out on our dresses. We politely asked those people to stop leaning in our booth & they ignored all of us. Awful experience & next time im in Montreal this will not be on my list. Huge disappointment!

Wonderful food service and ambiance. The shows were great! Didn't like the music, not enough that I like to dance to, but that's always a personal choice. I would return!! Great place!

Food, service and ambiance are absolutely 5 stars. Super classy place with great people (staff and our server Michaela)

Went with a group to Bord'Elle to see a burlesque show. It was advertised as a pre-fixe menu and a show, but we went there specifically for the advertised burlesque show. Sat around for two and a half hours eating the food, which was pretty good, and saw about 5 minutes of a performance. Asked the staff when the show will be, and they all said "a bit later." Around 10:30, the place was converted from a restaurant to a club, at which point we were told we have to order bottle service if we want to stay at the table. But still no burlesque show. So good job Bord'Elle, you really know how to misrepresent yourself and scam customers out of money. I think I can summarize it fairly clearly: 1. Advertise burlesque show 2. Require purchasing of an overpriced pre-fixe menu to see the show 3. In the span of the whole time, tease the customers with a 5 minute performance, saying the rest of the show "will be in a bit" 4. Right before the "actual" show, now you also have to buy an overpriced bottle to stay at your table. We couldn't bear it any longer. When they asked to buy a bottle, we left. Decent food, no burlesque show, dishonest promoting. Needless to say, not worth it.

I welcomed the new year at Bord'Elle, I didn't want to go out of my home that day with all the New Year's Eve craziness(and getting old) I'm so glad I didn't miss it, my boyfriend got tickets in advance so we didn't have a problem getting in,we were at the bar the whole night and had a great night overall. All the staff we came across with were super nice, I usually expect nightclub service to be 'bla' but Bord'Elle was beyond my expectation. I would really like to come and check it out in a regular night.

Upscale club with fantastic music, a large bar in the center with phenomenal service, and decent prices. There was an eclectic and well-dressed crowd, several bachelor/bachelorette parties, and while it was crowded, we could still move. The music was loud enough where you could still be heard and have a conversation. One of the coolest things was the Cirque du Soleil esque dancers hanging from strands from the rafters that came on around midnight. Overall, a cool experience.

Came here for a bachelor party that I had planned. They were easily able to accommodate 12 guys. The food was great and the burlesque shows during dinner were entertaining. Minus one star because the food took a while to come out and the people who were refilling our water were sketchily using bottled water (not cheap) until we asked them to use only tap water. Would come back again!

Granted, four women out trying to be their version of 'Bad Moms' is not the desired demographic BUT we used to be well versed in resto-bars in the city... 1) they sat us upstairs, floating in an ocean of, well, nobody, since upstairs is completely detached from downstairs even though It overlooks the whole scene (which leaves much to be desired)... 2) we moved downstairs at 9:00. At 10:30 they started dropping hints to leave even though they had never told us they needed the table AND we were in the middle of eating. We had ordered tons of drinks but they wanted us to make way for the bottle service which used to start at 12 AM at most places. 3) the music was terrible: dance re-mixes of tunes that should be left alone. 4) super cheesy vibe If you're looking for a hip, cool vibe in Montreal this is NOT the place to go.

[note: there are a bunch of non-recommended 1 star reviews. I recommend you read and believe them, and seriously question the 5 stars. It seems a lot of other folks were just as disgusted as us and created yelp accounts just to put this place on blast, not realizing yelp would stick them in the corner] So, my girlfriend and I attended the New Year's Gatsby event at Bord'Elle. It was billed as 25+ with a jazz quartet and burlesque as well as circus-style performances. We walked in at 10:30 and ordered 2 overpriced drinks for $24 at the large bar downstairs. The bar uses an electronically metered pour, so my cognac looked very sad indeed. It appeared to possibly be 1 oz. The space is beautiful, but the music was pulsating techno, not the jazz we were promised. Looking for an escape from the overcrowded space (it is much smaller than it appears in photos and does not have a dance floor.) We made our way to the upstairs bar and learned from our(awesome) bartender that the jazz was only for dinner service at 6pm(???!) and we would be subjected to the whim of the two terrible DJs all night. The bathrooms were disgusting, gold toilets did not class it up, and the coke use was not at all discrete. At some point they shut down the upstairs bathrooms. Reading the other reviews I am going to assume this is due to the feces smeared on the wall. My girlfriend had to beg a bouncer to be allowed to rejoin me upstairs after using the ladies room downstairs(which had no toilet paper- a fact she brought to the attention of multiple people, non of whom's job this was apparently.) It was nice to know that our spot had suddenly become so exclusive and VIP, but seriously guy, you just watched her come down the stairs. We finally ventured downstairs just prior to midnight, when the music became slightly more tolerable and danceable, but the ADD DJs could not leave a track on for more than 20 seconds. As soon as the crowd's mood turned to dancing they would change the song. In hindsight, maybe it was for the best, since there was no room to dance. Also, the billed "burlesque dancing" happened once in the 3.5 hours we were there, unless you count the girl on the swing, who was on the swing 2 times- and I am assuming that was the circus-like entertainment. The worst part is this: TIckets cost $65 in advance. I could have paid the same to go to an open bar with coked out bros and barely legal girls at a bunch of other clubs. We chose this one because it sounded like a relaxing, fun and stylish way to ring in the New Year. We were sadly mistaken. Also, no champagne toast. You could not get champagne at the bar we were at upstairs, nor at the main bar. To obtain a glass you could only go to the other upstairs bar(for real? it's New Year's eve) and pay $15 for a flute of Prosecco. It seems enough people found the vibe as lame as we did, since they decided they could offer $25 admission after midnight. Scariest part of the evening: We carefully stood near a "sortie" (EXIT) at all times, due to the fact that all bottle-service(and there was a lot of it) was escorted by giant sparklers, including a menorah of sparklers going out with a magnum of Monet. Coming from a state where a club-fire caused by fireworks killed 100 people, I was very wary of how close these sparklers came to igniting the balloons and the low-ceiling upstairs. I can't believe this is actually a thing. Highlight of the night: the bartender upstairs, who seemed like a genuinely good guy. After reading all the other reviews I am so glad that we opted not to go for dinner service. Our last minute walk-in at Nouveau Palais was the best decision we made that night. Anyway, I recommend never going to this place. Ever. It is pretty, but there are much better spots. Oh, and just as an aside. If you own a $3k clutch(or even if you don't) and order $100 worth of drinks, a $2 tip is not appropriate. People are so cheap it hurts.

The place is beautiful, the ambiance is nice and the performance is fun. That's pretty much where it ends. The alcohol is pricey and the food is really not worth it. You know theres a problem when they can't even make rice properly. Most of our table got poke bowls and the basmati rice was so under cook, it was hard and dry. I do have to say the service was good and our waitress Vanessa was nice.

Great new bar. Opening night was beyond expectations. Jam packed, can't expect to be served right away but they made it work. The entertainment was spectacular and DJ's were awesome. I have a birthday event next week, can't wait to see what to expect. I would consider having my own there too.

We had just arrived to Montreal on a Saturday night and wanted a restaurant that would compete with a lively NYC eatery. We lucked out by grabbing a last minute reservations at this hot spot! You are greeted by a gentleman outside, velvet rope and all and directed to the beautifully vibrant and decorated inside. My husband and I were both very hungry so we were recommended to order the chefs selection which is a huge perfectly seasoned tomahawk ribeye, a whole lobster, crab legs, shrimp, delicious grilled veggies all on top of heavenly lobster mashed potatoes......we didn't order any appetizers because as you can see our meal was huge! It is meant to be for 2 people (very hungry people) but can be shared by more with other entrees or apps. As we were recovering from our massive meal the lights dimmed down a bit and a burlesque dancer came out and entertained dIners. It was pretty cool. I'm sure some people might find it uncomfortable trying to eat while having exposed body parts dancing around. We were told the restaurant turns into a complete club after a certain hour. I'm pretty sure it's pretty awesome. Hopefully we will stay for that next time around!

Ideal for bachelore/bachelorette, older and mature crowd, corporate events. Big room with 2 mezzanines, whiskey parlor and champagne room. Highly suggest for the Montreal nightlife experience in Old Montreal.

I was at Bord'elle on Thursday evening for dinner and loved it! Our group of 4 each ordered an appetizer that we shared - shrimp cocktail, the amazing cheese platter, the Deconstructed Caesar salad (loved the little cheese grater) and the Asian salad. We all loved the use of rainbow beets in the salad. The size of the appetizers was perfect for sharing and getting a taste of everything. The entrees we chose were the Chicken Bento Supreme (amazingly tender and tasty, tad spicy chicken), Salmon Poke Bowl, and Beef Tatako. Again, perfect portion sizes for sharing and all was so delicious. Lastly desert, not able to choose, we want with all three - the Chai Infused Creme Brûlée, Brownie Cheesecake and the Half Baked cookie. Needless to say, all was amazing! We had the sweetest and most attentive waitress, she was informative and kind. The decor is so beautiful! Parts remind me of being at my grandparents home when I was a kid, while others are fancy and elegant. All in all it's a place I would want to spend more time at. Overall, the experience was perfect, and I can't wait to go back!

Best place we ate at in Montreal. Food + Atmosphere + Service. Make sure you put in a reservation. We went around 5:30pm on a Friday. The place was fully reserved, but we luckily were able to get an open spot at the bar to sit and eat. My wife and I shared all the orders. We started with the cheese and meats plate. It was massive and a great price for what we got with a good selection of meat, cheese, and fruit. We then had a tomahawk steak with creamed sweet potato, roasted cauliflower, and roasted broccolini. Then we finished with the apple pie cheese cake. WOW. All of the food was so delicious and definitely enough for both my wife and I. Then to top it all off, the staff was great. Very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We highly recommend going here if you are in Montreal.

I would never normally leave a review for a club! But this was the worst experience and it was for my birthday nonetheless. So when booking the reservation we were told we were going to get a booth and a table for a minimum spend of 400$! Great booked it for 11 o'clock arrival. Upon arriving, we were escorted inside - first the made us pay for mandatory coat check! Which is wrong to force me to pay for something they are enforcing. But once we get to our "table" it was literally a space at the bar and no chairs - with a small reserved sign! After putting our coats away and went back there were many many people in our "reserved" space! And we had no room to even dance and enjoy our night! Then once I asked for a table - because that's what I had reserved over the phone - the hostess began to tell me that it is now an extra hundred and the she told me on the phone - that was never explained to me! However it being my birthday I was okay to spend the extra, than our table was literally a square table in the corner with not booth or chairs and area to our selves! This club is misleading and a money grab - as well people are very rude and in the rush to switch from dinner to club atmosphere furniture is being lugged all around a crammed club and it was also rammed in to me and my friends as we were waiting for a table! I do not recommend going to this place! They are cat fishing!

Went here for my friends bachelor party. Reasonably priced for bottle service. Great staff that really took good care of us. The trapeze girls were awesome and the DJ was pumping some jams.

People who actually have good taste don't go here but it seems people who feel like they have some money go here and it shows because I can smell the fake designer dresses and handbags. It's overpriced for the quality of drinks and the food is mediocre at best. Go elsewhere and let this place die so someone with real taste can buy it and change the menu and actually make this place with the decor something it has the potential of being. Never going back.

My bitterness is mostly attributed to the horrible service. We came here as a group of 25, and were so tightly squeezed into a space that could maybe comfortably fit 15-18 so everybody basically shared their space. They only offer one type of white wine by the glass, and it's Chardonnay. Our entire crew only had 1 server, and throughout the entire dinner, only took our drink order once. We were all way too sober and alert to make light of the awkward setting. I will say that the decor of this venue is really beautiful. Super modern and well coordinated. It's worth mentioning that going to the lady's bathroom is a horrifying experience of walking down narrow winding stairs with no banister (or so I recalled as such), whereby each step was like a foot tall. It's an accident waiting to happen. Food was actually pretty good. It's really unfortunate that the chef probably knows what he's (or she's) doing, but I don't see this place surviving.

Do you like being let in to a place based on your looks or dress, you don't mind paying a lot more for a bit less but with quality ingredients? If so I think this is your jam! Bottle service all around, guy at the bar next to us drinking $2000 bottle of Dom Perignon (not sharing with his driver or four body guards), girl swinging from the ceiling, good music.... We Were Entertained! Next time I will come for the supper as well as the booze!

Great customer service. Always accommodating even without reservations. Will definitely go back! :)

Millennials are UNWANTED here, and it's made abundantly and embarrassingly clear. No matter how much they advertise in Nightlife.ca or Narcity they do not appeal to a younger crowd at all - in fact, they've traded millennials ready to spend money, for a pretty senior crowd. Was rudely told I couldn't book a table for my mom's 50th birthday because my brother was under 25... Not impressed at all. P.s. Bord'Elle, when you turn away your younger clientele today, they won't be back tomorrow. Remember that, because we will.

I recommend avoiding it! I was there over the weekend for the first and last time and experienced a lot of what other reviewers have mentioned... rude staff, long waits, poorly cooked food. The bathroom was gross when I went in it as well. The staff were clearly overwhelmed in every regard. These experiences seem to be a trend.

This place was amazing! We were a small group for my bachelorette party. The staff was very friendly. Drink prices were what I expected and they were pretty decent. Great music and great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Landed here for a Thursday night happy hour after seeing their promos for $1 oysters. Their Thursday night happy hour is far less expensive than their usual fare. Until 8pm, it was $5 pints, $7 cocktails and glasses of wine, as well as $7 tapas plates. We sipped on Hoegaarden, shared shrimp tacos, tartar and a cheese plate. All of these were scrumptious. The oysters themselves were good, only 1 small chip in my 6, however they were served 30 minutes after ordering, and when they arrived they were sitting mostly in water instead of actual ice. This meant that a few of them had lost their flavor which was quite unfortunate, and I was very surprised to see them sent out from the kitchen in such an obvious state. Despite the oyster issue, and the fact that there weren't actual seats at the bar unless you reserved (counter to my earlier phone call to inquire), we had a five star night. We were pleasantly surprised when there was entertainment (hottie on the swing, mini burlesque performance). Our bartender was amazing in her energy and service, Mylene definitely made it a night to remember with our interactions. Even our lovely doorman helped us in and out of the entrance hand in hand despite neither my coworker nor myself dressed to what is likely their usual standard of attire. The staff we interacted with were all great, even the coatcheck guy. Overall, we will definitely be back.

Came here with a few friends for an afterparty. We decided to order a round of shots. After waiting at the bar for at least 10 minutes, the bartender finally approached me and my friend. She poured our 5 very overpriced shots and handed us the bill. We left a small tip as we waited long and all she did was pour shots. Before we could take our drinks and go, the bartender came back and demanded we leave her a larger tip, saying she "had kids at home" and our tip was unacceptable. We tried to walk away and she called over the security guard. This was an awful experience and although the decor and dancing was nice, this one awful bartender ruined our night.
