Rebel Brasserie Urbaine

Rebel is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of exceptional service from our waiter and the outstanding cuisine makes it a standout restaurant. I can’t wait to return and enjoy another wonderful evening at Rebel. Highly recommended!

Love the music and show unfortunately their was a very tall racist right besides me that did not like I was not intimidated by his structure. The staff did their best to control a situation they had no clue what has happened. You know who you are and hope you realize that everyone knew you and your sweet girlfriend were totally wrong.. Good luck in your life of ignorance

So, the food was fine. HOWEVER, we had to wait an absurdly long time for it. The hostess said that they were down a person and it would be a longer wait, and we said okay, but in my mind a longer wait means 45 minutes. We waited over an hour and a half for our food. And in that time our water never even got refilled. We had to ask three times just to get water. Also only 3/5 orders were brought to us correctly, the other two were wrong but it was 10:30 pm and we just wanted to leave at that point so we didn't correct them.

Service: 5 star, accommodated my annoying son and our picky orders. Very friendly. The beef burger is somewhat mediocre and patty was over cooked. I didn't bring this up until I was done, but we were really rushing because of all the noise my son was making. Anyways, i should have said medium well or something

Food was good, but really the service was amazing. Hats off to Mario! Thank you! Lovely time :)

Server messed up most of our orders, including one person's order 3 times!! You think I'm exaggerating? No. I'm not. My friends asked for the chicken burger. They gave him a beef burger. When we said that's not what he ordered, we asked a friend to translate, and we explicitly said POULET!!! The server came back with another beef burger..... Wth.... Clarified a third time this time pointing specifically to the menu. Finally got the right order. The rest of the mistakes were things like getting sauced wings when we asked for plain, many of us getting the wrong drinks, etc. The food itself was ok, and the atmosphere was ok, but this experience just made it a very bad dinner experience.

Had the agneu lamb shank and cheesecake. Food was excellent, nice service.

What a gem of a find! From the cozy ambiance of Rebel Brasserie Urbaine to the delightful dishes, everything was spot-on. But what truly stood out was the service we received from Jericho. He was personable, gave excellent recommendations, and had this genuine enthusiasm that added a special touch to our evening.

This is a tough one... We were kindly greeted by a friendly, handsome gentleman whom also was our server. We took a nice window table inside the warm wooden and beautiful brick interior. Jazz was playing in the background. This all gave Rebel and delightful upscale atmosphere... Unfortunately, while the food was good, it wasn't extraordinary. This is probably just fine if you're a local seeking some comfort food in an enticing atmosphere, but if you're a foodie tourist like me, you're probably seeking some a bit more... $15 half dozen oysters...these were fresh and ginormous! $23 Grilled Seabass...cooked well with a thick rich gravy, but nothing complex. The steamed veggies and mashed potatoes...bland. $28 Steak Frites...cooked nicely at medium. Good, but not thrilling. As were the accompanying frites. $35 Bottle of good red wine, Parallele 45. Montreal's gayborhood has few elegant sit down eateries, but Rebel makes a decent meal in a lovely setting.

The meal was sub standard at best. A red wine was ordered but served a dry white. We didn't wish to refuse it at that time so didn't complain just accepted it but was strike 1. Chef substituted fries for mashed potatoes without asking if acceptable. The plate was 30$ and probably had a 7$ steak and .30 cents fries .05 cent gravy not a sauce as described. Im sorry for the server but he also dismissed my comments. I know this is just after COVID but looks like no attempt being exerted. Watching other diners and no checking if all is well with their meal observed. Tables being cleared out of your hands practically. A place i was excited to try was very disappointing.

We ordered a pitcher of beer and since we were the only ones in the section, which the receptionist insisted we sit in, we ordered poutine. The server took our order and also took her time. Sad!!! Poutine served with cold fries, cold cheese and I think they'd use hot gravy to warm it all up. Didn't work and will not return! Nasty place. Why do they even have a receptionist????

This place is a tourist trap. Due to "the current situation" the menu is limited to only a few dishes, which is understandable. The only strange thing is that these meals are incredibly simple but still have a "premium" price tag. My partner and myself therefore just ordered a burger with fries. The fries were nice, but too few. The burger clearly came from the freezer and was far too dry. Also the buns were dry. Out of courtesy I still left a 10% tip, but the waiter was not having it and was incredibly rude. He then proceeded with convincing me that the minimum tip that I should give is 15%, otherwise he even "lost money" on serving us. He then took out his card machine again and made me pay another amount just as the tip, which he conveniently rounded off to 20%. In total I payed over 70 CAD for 2 burgers with a few fries. Avoid this place.

What a fantastic place to have brunch or any meal for that matter. I was very impressed with my maiden visit to Rebel and the wonderful late afternoon brunch that we had this past weekend. This place came on tops in every aspect. Ambiance: What can beat sitting outside on a balmy summer afternoon, under the shade of the umbrella, watching the world go by (in this case the very mixed and yet very interesting crowd one gets to watch on Rue Saint Catherine)? That is exactly what we did. Although, they have an equally impressive indoor space with a very modern design and definitely a very cool vibe. The tables outside are placed for couples' seating but can be quickly combined for a bigger group. Food: The menu is quite extensive. And the brunch omelets being served in cast iron dishes seemed really appealing. So we went for the same, And some mimosas to begin the afternoon. The french bread served with butter in a small covered bottle was really good. And the omelet was definitely the best part. Right out of the oven, the hot cast iron dish kept the omelet warm for a long long time. Fluffy and perfectly done, all the ingredients were cooked to perfection. The potatoes on the side were done right as well. Couldn't have asked for a better meal. I had to gulp down my mimosa rather quickly as it all of a sudden became sweltering hot mid way through our already warm meal. No complains though :) Service: Top notch. Everyone was very nice and polite and there wasn't a time when we felt there was either too little or too much attention being given - to us or to any of the guests. It was just the right balance. Our waiter was sure to check upon us that everything was good and up to the mark. Really nice set of people working here. Overall, this place is one of the best places that I ate at during our very short but so much fun long weekend here in Montreal. These guys know how to run a good show and hope they keep up the excellent gig going till we visit again!

One of the best meals of my life. The salmon was perfectly prepared. One friend has the burger with homemade friend, and the other a French version of a ham and cheese sandwich. The pomme frites were the absolute best I've ever had!!! You MUST eat here!!!

This my third time at this restaurant. The drinks are very original and tasty. Well described. Had the lamb shank this time and the duck confit sandwich the first time. My server, Thomas, was welcoming and spoke excellent fluent English which was helpful.

Excellent beer selection. Very pleasant service. Relaxed atmosphere. My group ordered the beef tartar, I did not try it but it looked splendid

This meal was one if the best that I have had. I had the duck risotto which was not on the menu, but was the special of the night. I was NOT disappointed. The service was good and the menu had English notes for us non-French diners. I would also highly recommend the beef tart-tar! Fantastic! The only reason I removed a star is because after we paid our bill, the waitress let us know that the service was not included in the bill. We had already left her tip on the table, so it rubbed me wrong that the waitress felt she should ( and could?) ASK for a tip. A small thing at the end of a great meal but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Waitress is very mindful. The food is well priced but I've had cheaper. Air conditioner could be colder. The only downside is they were not fans of me smoking a cigar, but they were polite about it

We stopped here last night looking for a late dinner but got a great meal instead. The waiter and chef were charming and helpful. My companions enjoyed the rack of lamb the most. My burger was excellent. Make sure you leave room for the cheesecake topped with maple popcorn. (I was skeptical but they totally work together).

I'm not a big fan of restaurants of the village since they always end up trying to hard to be trendy and forget to focus on the actual food but I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, food and service. Highly recommend it! Salmon tartar was excellent and so was the Beef Carpaccio....And the DESSERT POUTINE IS A MUST.

Worst meal of the trip. YELPERS let me down once again. Service is super slow, even non existent. We waited 1 hour for our meal.. burger, chicken and mash, veg burger, fish and chips and tuna tartare. Was about to leave and ask for the check, but the food unfortunately showed up. Everyone was disappointed in the food, except the wife who liked the tuna. While we waited no one came around and asked if we wanted more drinks or to check on us. Only thing that came quickly was the check. We thought the decor looked nice, but that's about it. Hope this place goes out of business or burns down.

The Rebel Brasserie Urbaine is part of the gay Skye entertainment comlex, but the restaurant clientele seemed to be mixed when I was there for lunch recently. For those with long memories, this place used to be called "Food." It's been completely redone and the menu has been upgraded, although I miss Food's sushi bar. The new room is sleek and modern. There's copious outdoor dining as well. For lunch I had a delicious salmon tartare, a filling burger de poulet et canard, and an excellent cup of coffee. As befitting a gay venue, the wait staff ranges from pretty to gorgeous. But, unlike their New York and Los Angeles counterparts, the boys are without snotty attitudes. My waiter Laurence was not only fetching, but attentive and courteous. Perfectly bilingual and a student at McGill, he was intelligent and friendly. Laurence added to the ambiance of the whole experience.

Great place for sangrias on the Terrace. They have several sangria flavours and all of them are great. Their menu is also pretty strong - though some items are a little pricey.

I feel like the general consensus for me for this restaurant is sort just not amazing but not bad. They had some good points : nice well made sangria (a few different types) , their outdoor patio was spacious and comfortable and perfect for a warm summer night (but no umbrellas in case of too much sun or in case of rain though). Service was quick and attentive and our waitress was so friendly and funny and made sure we were taken care of. Buttttt the food itself was just ok and actually pretty overpriced for what you get. I had a turkey/chicken burger and fries and while the fries were actually pretty perfect the burger was not bad but was just ok and really not memorable or special in any way. My friend friend had the tuna steak which was actually pretty well spiced and had a good cook on it but her sides fell very short in flavour. Overall I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back or to recommend this place but I also wouldn't discourage anyone from coming here and trying it for themselves. I would probably only come back to sit outside and share a pitcher of Sangria and maybe an appetizer.

Super great place with amazing staf and manager.The atmosphere is really nice and the food is wow!!

I recommend this place for dinner before 6 as it gets a little busy during the later hours. Good place for cocktails as the evening develops. Located in the middle of the action on St Catherine, it's got a great outdoor seating area.

There's not enough alcohol in Montreal to excuse the absolute negligence and systemic failure of this food establishment. Not sure where to begin as my party of 10 wanted only to rid themselves of this experience. Incredibly poor service, blatant disregard for patrons, and a complete lack of food organization, management or anything close. Ultimately only 4 of us actually ended up with meals. This place gives food and Montreal a bad name. And that's a shame in a city of French. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WALK, WANDER OR STUMBLE INTO THIS PLACE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

I find that this place serves ok food, ok cocktails, ok service... All in all ok. A bit on the pricey side. I am not so keen on recommending this restaurant.

Amazing brunch! Love their mimosas and the souffle omelette was simply outstanding. Highly recommend!

The food here was excellent. Great flavor combinations, imaginative spins on classic cuisine, and appropriately priced. If I lived in Montreal, I'd go back again and again. Very friendly staff!

Inattentive service, rude servers, SLOW arrival of food in an empty restaurant, plates arriving an HOUR after others....stay away.

It took them over an hour to bring our food and the restaurant was empty. The food and drink was ok nothing special. Getting attention of our server was difficult. They had to replace my spoon twice since the first two were dirty.

The menu was exceptionally extravagant - the server was nice how ever didn't speak any English and definitely didn't try - the appetizer was great, the shrimp, however it did come out cold - got the burger with bacon not bad, don't get it with spinach, it will wilt! Dessert - chocolate leave cake, great! Sat out side great - for a $100's including drinks I give it a B-

Worst service ever! One friend ordered a salad and it took an hour to get it, after 3 of us got and finished our burgers. Then they forgot 3 other friends orders!

We have been in Montreal now for 3 days and this was the best food and service we have had! I love this place!

We came for dinner with our kids last week. The street had many restaurants but this one had a nice French bistro menu. We ordered shrimp bouquet, naan with sour cream and truffle oil, duck breast main course, beef and salmon tartare, beef short rib linguini. Everything was so good. The only improvement could be with the shrimp bouquet. It came in a fake plant in a pot, with long skewers of breaded shrimp on it. The shrimp tasted fine, but the presentation in the pot was a bit dusty. The pot container felt a bit oily and sticky. Not sure how many other bouquets came out in this pot and whether they clean it between customers. The naan was also a bit heavy and oily. Overall, it was a great meal. Friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Ok food, terrible washrooms, and when my partner asked for an egg on his Croque Monsieur the kitchen refused, saying they had no eggs! Not sure where the other reviewers were eating, but if this place was one of the best meals of their lives, then I worry!
