Le Relais Boréale Montréal - Microbrasserie & Boutique — Restaurant in Montreal

I would normally give this place a higher rating as I had pleasant experience in the past; the staff is really nice and the beer is pretty good. But I was disappointed tonight.

I made sure to book a reservation since Thursday are normally quite busy. I received a confirmation, but when we arrived (on time) we were told that no table were available.

After 15 minutes, one of the employee tell us they are trying to find us a table but sadly, no luck. After waiting for 30 minutes we decided to leave.

Why are you taking reservations if you don't actually reserve tables?

I ran upon this brewery and quality beer purveyor on my walk along Jean Talon.

This place is primo. They have an eclectic variety of unique beers on tap brewed on premises.

My biggest decision was what to try. Port, citrus, hops, fruit, pilsner, IPA, so many choices.

I settled on a dark brew after having sampled a few beers. It was rich and full-bodied.

I suggest returning several times to enjoy all these premium tasting beers offered at a very reasonable price.

I arrived after the kitchen was closed so I did not have a chance to sample the food. Next time.

Nice brewpub in a large, industrial style space. The brew house setup is impressive. Showed up on a quiet Friday afternoon, so the atmosphere wasn't too lively. Good selection of beers for all tastes, with a few lagers on Lukr pour, a few tests brews you can only find here, and classic Boréale beers. I was expecting prices to be a bit more affordable, and food was just too pricey for me to even try. Service was friendly and efficient. Maybe not at the level of some other pubs nearby, but a good stop on a pub...
