Magpie Magique — Restaurant in Montreal

Absolutely had such a lovely experience here from the service, to the ambiance and to the food and drinks. This was my first time ever visiting Montreal and my mom and I were looking for a cool spot for some late night drinks and chats and this was perfect. This is a Speakeasy Bar with nice dim-lighting, burlesque-style decor, soft jazz music in the background that isn’t too loud where you can actually hear each other speak! I ordered the Late Night Encounter drink which was like a Espresso Martini but, it wasn’t too strong or bitter at all - it was very smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness. Then, I ordered their No Bias drink which was refreshing and very tasty. My mom and I got the Mirza Ghassemi and Noix Roties - both perfect little snacks to enjoy with your drinks and then we got their Burrata pizza to share which was SO DELICIOUS. I definitely will come back when I return to...

Brought a date here on a Thursday night. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the dating scene, and speakeasies seem to have proliferated in this city.

The drinks were lovely. The menu was a sleek, black-and-white, recto-verso one-sheet with a handsome selection. The white side featured standard cocktails, while the black side offered more inventive ones.

The decor was stylish and cozy, with sexy lighting.

The waiter was self-effacing but attentive, appropriately deferential, and spoke only when necessary.

My only gripe was the noise level—it was louder than I’d hoped, though I think it was more due to the acoustics and the general hustle and bustle of a well-behaved crowd, rather than the music. I expected a more bohemian crowd, but it felt more hipster-yuppie. For a Thursday, it was about 75% full.

We didn’t try the food,...

The intimate, laid-back atmosphere, burlesque-style décor, soft jazzy music, and excellent, reasonably priced cocktail menu make it the perfect setting for a date night.

We ordered several cocktails and a mocktail, all of which were delicious and expertly prepared. They also serve a variety of wines and beers. If you happen to feel a little peckish, they've got you covered with a food menu to enjoy with their extensive list of beverages. Classic bar munchies like olives, nuts, and popcorn, as well as some incredible dips of either goat cheese, eggplant, or hummus. We especially enjoyed the goat cheese dip. They also offer larger dishes like pizza, a sandwich, and beef tartare. With a great central location and wonderful service, we will most definitely return on an actual date to enjoy this...
