Review Balsam Inn - Montreal

[ David ]
A new downtown spot from the same owner and chef as the next door Dominion Square Tavern. The ambience is noisy but nice and the service was friendly and fast. The slowly cooked tuna was great! This place is super busy, specially on weekdays lunch, so try to reserve in advance.

Great food! Even better alcohol! Cozy place! All the staff was great! Our waitress was awesome! Sara-Eve went out of her way to please us! Would def go back just to have her as our waitress! Tall thin guy at the bar was also great!!!!

Incredibly noisy. A common problem in Montreal but particularly bad here. Could not hear the specials, could not hear each other without shouting across the table. Service was professional but slow. Food was just ok. I had the fried chicken and detected nothing that would justify the cost. Cocktails are beautiful but tiny. Overall,it was really the noise level that ruined the evening. Restaurants should realize that conversation is an important part of a night out with friends.

Great place off the beaten path of most tourists radar. Italian bistro incredible food in the heart of modern Montreal. Great bar drinks made by truly professional bartenders.

Randomly selected this restaurant as a result of having a craving for Italian food, and it did not disappoint. The Farro with Wild Mushrooms was so delicious (and filling!). Paired with a couple of cocktails made it even better. Would definitely return, even if just for the ambience alone, or for a few drinks at the bar. The only downside was being seated in a slightly awkward spot, but we didn't book very far in advance and it did end up getting quite busy so I can understand why.

The salmon tartare was very good in taste, but could be a bit colder (it was warm). The dessert, orange ginger cake, was tasty and full of flavors. Service there is not bad, and the washroom is very fun (cuz of the designs). Especially, the soap is very interesting!

Was in a pasta mood so I googled pasta near me and picked a random one. And wow. The pasta. Omg the pasta. Perfect, beautiful, wonderful, heavenly. The portion size is a bit small but wow the taste is well worth the money. Love. Love. Love it. Edit: returned for pasta with one of my friends last week. So. Impressed. Seriously the pasta here is to die for.

Nice place to bring a date! The citrus grilled squid salad was refreshing and tasty. The chorizo cake on the other hand was a bit heavy. Service was good.
