drinks were solid and the place has personality. not somewhere you go for a quiet night though
Good
Great unique atmosphere. Waiter was very patient with our indecisiveness.
I keep coming back, there's no where in montral like it!
Bar with a great vibe and great events including Lindy Hop Tuesdays. Quirky in nature. You never know who you'll meet.
Super place !
The ordering was very easy and the staff was very welcoming. We had a great meal and the vibe of the place was very nice. I will definitely be coming back to try some new things. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good experience. It was a very pleasant visit for us all.
Came here to watch a Le Habs NHL game!
Great atmosphere, nice live music, food leaves much to be desired, try the Rouge Tropical if you like rum and hibiscus
Great bar, great place
Super bar !

Chez Ernest – Comptoir de curiosités feels like the kind of place people hope to stumble upon and then quietly start recommending only to those they actually like. The vibe is warm, lively, and full of character without ever feeling forced. Between the quirky, curiosity-cabinet decor, the glowing yellow walls, the chandeliers, and all the little oddities scattered around the room, the whole place has a playful soul that makes sitting there a pleasure in itself. What really elevates it, though, is the human side. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, relaxed, efficient, and clearly part of what gives Ernest its charm. You feel looked after without being rushed, which suits the place perfectly. And then there is one detail that deserves open praise: the menu actually shows prices with taxes included. That should not feel revolutionary, but it does. It is such a refreshing, honest touch to know exactly what you are paying before the bill lands. More places should do this. The food and drink held up beautifully. We had their version of a Niçoise salad and the Viking salad, and both were fresh, satisfying, and tied together by a very good Dijon-balsamic vinaigrette that gave them real personality. The beer selection was also fun, varied, and genuinely enjoyable. Ernest is not just a bar-restaurant. It feels like a place with identity, humour, and taste—rare enough to deserve celebrating. Go there, for a snack or for fun, enjoy your time and TIP THE STAFF
Super service !
Super bar
Nice esoteric energy. Cool antiques and weird spooky stuff in the walls. Food is great and service too.
Super absinthe !
Parfait
Cool decor, nice staff, good prices
Fun little bar lounge, with eclectic decor, almost like a movie set; chandeliers and clocks everywhere! And themed evenings to hype things…very enjoyable and friend staff!
Very cool place, super original. The decor is absolutely stunning. We came in the afternoon for a little dessert, and it was nearly empty. The service was great.
Great place! Went on a random Wednesday night, and it was amazing. The atmosphere was very fun; they had a music trivia night. They usually have different activities every weekday. The staff was super nice and easy-going. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend their « tartinades». Their kitchen stays open until late, which is amazing for a late-night bite with a drink. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would absolutely recommend it!!
