Hachoir

I found this place on an MTL blog article about tartare restaurants and while I was in Montréal I had a terrible craving for them. So I came here, and tried the trio tartare. It was excellent. I was alone, so I was a little nervous going in with my dirty winter boots in a fancy restaurant full of lovely French speaking couples… But I was seated at the bar, and my waiter was very sweet and attentive. He helped me choose a wine that was complex in flavor, to pair with my tartare of meat and fish. It was delicious! Each was flavored with distinct spices and herbs. I especially loved the salmon tartare. I will come back here, hopefully with somebody!

If you like tartar this is the place ! As everything is fresh it’s a bit pricey but in tartar it has to be super fresh ! I suggest you take the tasting menu with beef, salmon and tuna, and i like everything as it was so fresh and well prepared that it eat by itself !
I think this is the place to eat tartar in Montréal, but as i’m not a big tartar fan i have to try other restaurant but for me it will be hard to do better !
Si vous aimez le tartar c’est l’endroit à Montréal. Même si c’est un peu cher, comme le tartare doit être extra frais la viande ou le poisson doivent être super frais.
Je vous suggère d’essayer le menu dégustation avec du boeuf, du saumon et du thon.
J’ai bien aimer tout ce qu’il y avait dans mon assiette car tout étaient tellement frais et extrêmement bien préparés que ça se mangeait tout seul !
Je né suis pas un grand amateur de tartare mais j’ai bien aimé le hachoir !

Jason L and I stumbled into Hachoir after a night of drinking — and I am happy to report that it was an excellent decision. We ordered the slider trio– chicken, pork and beef. The sliders were tender, well cooked, and flavorful. One thing of note is the waiter did not ask how I wanted my burger. The beef patty was served medium, I would have preferred medium rare, but it wasn’t a big deal. We stayed away from any alcohol, and the waiter was kind enough to continuously fill our glasses.
Although we didn’t try it ans can’t vouch– many patrons seemed quite satisfied with their tartars and fois gras.
The atmosphere, was a club meets high-​end tavern. It was definitely dark, and EDM like music played on the house speakers. Hachoir is probably an excellent drinks out with the girls spot.
They are open til midnight almost every night of the week, and you can book reservations on their website. Walk-​ins are welcome. Jason L and I did not have a hard time snagging a table at 10pm on a Sunday night.
I’d go back.

Excellent décor, definitely a great atmosphere. We had lunch: excellent veggie (chickpea) burger, and a very good classic beef burger. Excellent fries, though plain mayo didn’t match the rest of the plate. Very good salad and blue cheese appetizer as well.

Excellent place. We were looking for a place to eat late and we found this amazing place. Simon was our waiter and he was really nice.
We had the salmon tartar with fries. Loved it! And the drinks were really good too. I asked him to suggest a drink for me and he did. Simon told me if I didn’t like it, he would give me another one and He did not disappoint… My drink was great.
Everybody was really nice. I would definitely come back next time I am in Montréal.

Wow! Meat! If you like your patty thick and juicy, this is the burger for you!
I really did enjoy this classic burger with classic toppings. I personally prefer a more complex flavoured beef patty and felt that it lacked some seasoning. At least a bit of salt.
Overall I would definitely go here for a burger again.
The Jack Daniels on ice was the perfect pairing — next time I’ll make it a double !

I was very pleased with this restaurant. We randomly went here with some friends on a Thursday night. The place was very very busy and we were told it would be about a 30 minutes wait. They recommended a bar for us to go have a drink and then came to get us when the table was ready! Very impressed.
The trio of tartare was very well prepared and quite tasty. The Foie gras sliders were fantastic. Very good burger for the main meal. They also make very good cocktails. I would recommend this place!

I take the Tartare trio @ 24 $ and I was very satisfied. The tuna and guagamole was very original. The salmon was ok and the beef was one one of the best, i should try to find the receipe on the net! Come with craquer, salade & frie. Resto Bar ismodern and noce and the service was very good to. For the price its a pretty good deal in the aera

Great place for happy hour! The tartares were excellent and the burger sliders were out of this world. Most of the dishes comes with a generous side of salad and fries. They have a great wine selection but I would not recommend ordering any specialty cocktails.

My girlfriend and I had a reservation at 9PM on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed– as expected. It took a good 25min for us to get our table… Apparently they were late on reservations because some people showed up later and bla bla. They apologized, we understood. But then it took 15 minutes for our server to come ask us if we wanted something to drink, and a good 50 minutes to get the food we ordered… The tartare tasting plate and a filet mignon. Kind of unacceptable.
The tartare was really good. My girlfriend doesn’t usually like beef tartare and she loved that one– so I’ll give them that. The fries were okay, the salad was nothing special. And the filet mignon was mediocre. The sauce au poivre was really salty and the piece of meat had hard tendons inside… I even had to chew out a piece at what point (how embarrassing). Definitely not worth 35 $.
Our server ended up giving us the 2 drinks we ordered for free because of how slow the service was. Nice gesture. Overall, go for the tartare. And try to choose a time that’s not too busy because they definitely can’t handle serving their restaurant when it’s at its maximum capacity.
Ambiance wise, they play pretty good music and it’s kind of loud but not too much. Would be the perfect spot for a first date if the food and the service delivered.

The food is incredible!!! And Carlos helped us and he was just sooo helpful. Our burger was delish! There’s also this chocolate and coffee dessert thats to die for!!!

Quite a nice place
I really like soe of their burgers which are inventive and offer a new take on a classic dish
Beware the place can be quite busy but has a very nice feel to it
Cocktails are good and staff is helpful

Was in Montréal for a sales meeting and my girlfriend suggested this tartar place. I wasn’t really sure what she meant but this cozy diner like place was out of this world good. Yes, most of their plates are tartar of tuna, salmon or beef but they have tastefully spiced & arranged your choice served with french fries & salad with toasted baguettes. If you don’t like raw fish/​meat they also serve salads & burgers!
The ambiance is very french & if you are visiting Montréal this is a must see!

We stopped in this place for lunch. Nice atmosphere with the same open window to the street concept of many of the other restaurants in the area. The wait staff was very polite and spoke english well. The burgers were smaller than american style burgers but they were very good and satisfying. So good they didn’t even need ketchup! Dinner for four came to $ 100 with a few beers and a sangria. A little pricey but I would come back again.

We ended up at Hachoir, accidentally, when Pied du Cochon was too crowded for us to get in. The experience was delightful, we definitely enjoyed our evening.
While I haven’t eaten as much tartare as I would like to have (it’s not very prevalent in the US), the tasting platter was enjoyable. A couple of the additions to the tartare, though, were almost too overpowering for the delicate fish underneath it.
My husband had the slider tasting platter – and enjoyed all three of them. He said that the pork burger, while he might not have ordered it on it’s own, was phenomenal and he was glad that he got to taste it.
We started with the grilled ceasar, and that was delicious. I’ve made them myself, and there’s something about a little bit of char on a romaine head that takes a salad from «meh,» to «whoa!»
Beer selection is average, but they have an adult coffee that was out of this world. Definitely give that a try if you’re looking for a nightcap.
The service was excellent, no complaints there. And while many seem to not like the atmosphere, I found it to be industrial, dim, and warm, all at the same time. Priceym, though, total with drinks for two was about $ 117 before tip. Definitely wouldn’t be a frequent place to eat, but I enjoyed the experience.

It was a really cold Friday night and we decided to go to this place since it was open late and was a couple blocks away from where we were staying. The ambience… it looked like one of those dimly lit fancy places. We ordered the Salmon Tartare and the New York Steak. We told the waiter to do the steak medium rare. The food came pretty quickly and the presentation was quite good too. The taste… not so much. My tartare tasted like onions and lime. Don’t get me wrong, there was lots of Salmon but the onions overpowered it. The steak was cooked a bit too much and the fries were just meh. The food was pretty expensive too ($ 22 for tartare and $ 29 for steak). I would spend my money on something better the next time.

For a long time, I was a little reluctant to go to Hachoir due to many people saying it was pricey. Already, that’s a bit of a turn off. For a burger, I’m not going to go drop 25 $ on a beer and some sort of edible something between two buns. However, on this night I had some extra money and I figured «Treat yo’ self.»
Upon entering the venue, I thought it was kind of dark inside. The clientele was young-​ish, minus the couple next to us on a date in their mid-​forties where the guy was talking about the size of his you-​know-​what the whole time to his date. Overall though, the vibe was okay and the hockey game was on so my boyfriend was stoked. The bathroom and restaurant in general was clean which can stand to the illusion that it’s a good sign.
I started with a Griffon Rousse, their beer selection was «meh» but they had a more eclectic wine list so I should of ventured that route if I really wanted to be judgy. However, my boyfriend ordered an old fashioned and it was delicious.
Their menu is small so I say this to all vegetarians who decide to eat at this place: you really have no other choice than to order their veggie burger, «Le Végétal» (as for vegans, don’t go here). This burger is a breaded portobello mushroom, stuffed with cheese and comes topped with a house green-​pepper mayo, lettuce, tomato and cucumbers.
Now, first of all, when it comes to eating portobello mushroom burgers, I am always a little worried. They are slimy. Their texture when cooked is gross. They don’t absorb taste. At Hachoir, I was ready to embark on this journey only because they had stuffed the portobello with cheese and it was breaded. However, I didn’t even taste any cheese in my burger. If it was there, it must of been overcome by the taste of bread but I don’t even think that’s possible. Oh yeah, upon first bite to last, eating this burger was a total battle. Despite being «breaded» the portobello started slipping out of the bun immediately. I spent more time trying to find the cheese in my burger and then readjusting my patty than enjoying my eating experience at all.
I played with my food from ages birth to 3 years old… It wasn’t the place or the time to do it. The fries, on a side note, were okay. The side salad was weak, but I’ve never been to a restaurant where I’ve gotten a side salad and said, «WOW! What an amazing side-​salad!» That just never happens.
Needless to say, I was disappointed (and once again correct about the portobello being a total fail choice for a vegetarian burger) by the food but the service was good, the restaurant was clean, and the dude next to us talking about his woohoo was entertaining to say the least.

As much as I was excited to try this place out, I feel like it was a waste of money and time… unfortunately, of course.
I had been craving some good tartare, and was told by some friends to try the one made here.
It was hands down, the worst salmon tartare I’ve ever had. It was more like lime purée with a side of raw salmon than salmon tartare. There were HUGE chunks of lime mixed in with the fish, and some lime juice as well, which just overpowered the entire dish making it a very bitter experience (literally and figuratively).
I did try some mashed potato from a friend, and it was quite good, but that isn’t really the measure of a good experience in my books. I know that they have a lot of good reviews, so maybe I just happened to go on an off night, or maybe I need to learn to eat my tartare drenched in lime, but either way, I’m definitely not going back…

It was Sunday afternoon and we were hungry. After trying to go to 3 or 4 different places, all of which were closed we were starting to become a group of grumpy people. Then we saw Hachoir, and it was open!
We started with a Caesar salad which was crunchy, creamy and delicious. Thanks to the salad were no longer grumpy and now a group of friends enjoying a pleasant meal together. The four of us were all attracted to the same items on the menu, the boys had the crab cake burger and the girls the salmon burger. Be sure to have your napkin handy as these burgers can create a bit of a messy situation. The burgers were very good as were the fries.
Overall the menu looked interesting with many creative twists such as a duck confit poutine and the Panche burger which is dressed with bbq sauce and an onion ring.
Definately worth a retun visit or two.

On our way to a Unilocal elite event, we passed this restaurant, located just below an old (closed) pub I used to go to back in the day and took a quick peak at the menu. I have been obsessing with tartares lately and this menu included several varieties including a bison tartare.
After the elite event we headed over to just grab a bite, a few appetizers and then we’d head over to eat dinner somewhere else. However, I was drawn to at least 2 apps and my bf had his heart set on the Hachoir 2.0 burger, so we decided this would be dinner.
I ordered the foie gras sliders along with the bison tartare and my boyfriend stuck with his longing for the Hachoir 2.0 burger.
The foie gras sliders aren’t exactly typical. I was kind of expecting the usual: little burger buns with seared foie gras inside. Instead, the plate came out with a generous portion of foie gras, balanced atop little toasts, garnished with pickled red onions. Simple, delicious and low-​carb (wink, wink)
The bison tartare (I ordered the appetizer size) was still a nice portion of tartare, in fact, I can’t imagine eating more than I did of it. It was hearty, decadent and yet, still felt kind of light. Strange, maybe it is the citrus, but I didn’t feel overloaded. It was quite good, and I look forward to trying some of their other tartares in the future.
By far the hit of the evening was that burger. It’s a shrimp and pork patty, with bacon and grilled pineapple, and some very Asian inspired flavours. The brioche bun and the light hit of srirachi and sesame oil made this burger shine. The accompanying fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, just the way I can appreciate them most.
Great service, with a cool and relaxed vibe. We loved it and will definitely be back!
