British pub with tap beer, traditional dining & football
"A laid-back good time is always the vibe at this Little Burgundy mainstay, so expect the same on New Year’s Eve. There will be a four-course tasting menu for $80 (or $120 with whiskey and wine pairings) plus bubbles at midnight. A reduced regular menu will also be available. Be sure to make a reservation by December 29th to score a table." - Erinn Blicher
"Little Burgundy is home to Burgundy Lion, the neighbourhood’s favourite British pub (and maybe the most popular in the whole city). Come for a pint of inexpensive Burgundy Lion ale and stay for the fish and chips. Plus, there’s always a football (read: soccer) match on the telly." - JP Karwacki
"Burgundy Lion’s all-season top floor is less a terrasse and more a “tea garden conservatory”, but either way, it offers an entirely glass roof with Parisian-style seating and floor-to-ceiling plants. It serves British afternoon tea as well as the traditional English pub eats (like fish and chips and bangers and mash) that Burgundy Lion is known for." - Erinn Blicher
"You make this list when you sell more beer than almost any other city bar. There’s almost always a crowd, but with two floors and a backyard garden, there’s always plenty of space." - Erinn Blicher
"I noted that Burgundy Lion was among the restaurants that complained about the city's decision to schedule Notre-Dame Street water-main repairs during what they had hoped would be a fortifying summer following two years of pandemic instability; co-owner Toby Lyle told the Montreal Gazette that businesses have wanted a street fair on Notre-Dame for 14 years, and the city has reportedly agreed to one." - Valerie Silva
