Rebel

Service agréable, ambiance plaisante, menu varié… Excellent choix pour une soirée réussie!

The food here was excellent. Great flavor combinations, imaginative spins on classic cuisine, and appropriately priced. If I lived in Montréal, I’d go back again and again. Very friendly staff!

What a fantastic place to have brunch or any meal for that matter. I was very impressed with my maiden visit to Rebel and the wonderful late afternoon brunch that we had this past weekend. This place came on tops in every aspect.
Ambiance:
What can beat sitting outside on a balmy summer afternoon, under the shade of the umbrella, watching the world go by (in this case the very mixed and yet very interesting crowd one gets to watch on Rue Saint Catherine)? That is exactly what we did. Although, they have an equally impressive indoor space with a very modern design and definitely a very cool vibe. The tables outside are placed for couples’ seating but can be quickly combined for a bigger group.
Food:
The menu is quite extensive. And the brunch omelets being served in cast iron dishes seemed really appealing. So we went for the same, And some mimosas to begin the afternoon. The french bread served with butter in a small covered bottle was really good. And the omelet was definitely the best part. Right out of the oven, the hot cast iron dish kept the omelet warm for a long long time. Fluffy and perfectly done, all the ingredients were cooked to perfection. The potatoes on the side were done right as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal. I had to gulp down my mimosa rather quickly as it all of a sudden became sweltering hot mid way through our already warm meal. No complains though :)
Service:
Top notch. Everyone was very nice and polite and there wasn’t a time when we felt there was either too little or too much attention being given — to us or to any of the guests. It was just the right balance. Our waiter was sure to check upon us that everything was good and up to the mark. Really nice set of people working here.
Overall, this place is one of the best places that I ate at during our very short but so much fun long weekend here in Montréal. These guys know how to run a good show and hope they keep up the excellent gig going till we visit again!

Vraiment bon la tartare de bison! Je reviendrai c’est certain! Service courtois et aussi drôle! Un peu dispendieux mais on en a pour notre argent.

We came for dinner with our kids last week. The street had many restaurants but this one had a nice French bistro menu. We ordered shrimp bouquet, naan with sour cream and truffle oil, duck breast main course, beef and salmon tartare, beef short rib linguini. Everything was so good. The only improvement could be with the shrimp bouquet. It came in a fake plant in a pot, with long skewers of breaded shrimp on it. The shrimp tasted fine, but the presentation in the pot was a bit dusty. The pot container felt a bit oily and sticky. Not sure how many other bouquets came out in this pot and whether they clean it between customers. The naan was also a bit heavy and oily. Overall, it was a great meal. Friendly service and nice atmosphere.

La nourriture est très bonne, belle présentation. Par contre une lacune de service, manqué d’eau durant la soirée. Et vers la fin, lorsqu’on voulait commander un dessert, on ce fait dire «cuisine est fermée».
They don’t speak english!

Ok food, terrible washrooms, and when my partner asked for an egg on his Croque Monsieur the kitchen refused, saying they had no eggs! Not sure where the other reviewers were eating, but if this place was one of the best meals of their lives, then I worry!

J’etais client depuis l’ouverture et recommander des dizaines de clients mais dernièrement la qualité de la nourriture laisse à désirer. Le staff est charmant et donne un bon service et malheureusement la semaine dernière le patron a refusé d’échanger un verre de bière «flat». Pour 4,50 $, really? Juste une question de principes

J’allais à ce restaurant un peu à reculons, plusieurs établissements fades ayant eu leur adresse à cet endroit dans les dernières années.
Premier constat, le restaurant demeure un grand local rectiligne, l’ambiance n’est pas tout à fait au rendez-​vous.
Passé cette première impression cependant le restaurant s’en tire très bien. Les plats proposés sont effectivement ceux d’une brasserie: poissons grillés, viandes de différentes coupes, légumes racine (leur purée de pommes de terre est exquise!), charcuterie, etc. Les assiettes sont bien faites et généreuses, mais ce n’est pas de la cuisine à la mode moléculaire néofusion sous vide, et c’est bien correct ainsi.
Le service est sympathique mais un peu gauche parfois. Par exemple, les suiteurs né savaient jamais quelle assiette allait à qui, le service de vin était déficient, etc. Mais l’intention était bien là.
Donc, ambiance artificielle et service correct et très sympathqiue, mais nourriture très bonne pour le prix. L’établissement né se perd pas en prenant plusieurs directions.

One of the best meals of my life. The salmon was perfectly prepared. One friend has the burger with homemade friend, and the other a French version of a ham and cheese sandwich. The pomme frites were the absolute best I’ve ever had!!! You MUST eat here!!!

The menu was exceptionally extravagant — the server was nice how ever didn’t speak any English and definitely didn’t try — the appetizer was great, the shrimp, however it did come out cold — got the burger with bacon not bad, don’t get it with spinach, it will wilt! Dessert — chocolate leave cake, great! Sat out side great — for a $ 100’s including drinks I give it a B–

The Rebel Brasserie Urbaine is part of the gay Skye entertainment comlex, but the restaurant clientele seemed to be mixed when I was there for lunch recently. For those with long memories, this place used to be called «Food.» It’s been completely redone and the menu has been upgraded, although I miss Food’s sushi bar. The new room is sleek and modern. There’s copious outdoor dining as well. For lunch I had a delicious salmon tartare, a filling burger de poulet et canard, and an excellent cup of coffee. As befitting a gay venue, the wait staff ranges from pretty to gorgeous. But, unlike their New York and Los Angeles counterparts, the boys are without snotty attitudes. My waiter Laurence was not only fetching, but attentive and courteous. Perfectly bilingual and a student at McGill, he was intelligent and friendly. Laurence added to the ambiance of the whole experience.

We have been in Montréal now for 3 days and this was the best food and service we have had! I love this place!

I’m not a big fan of restaurants of the village since they always end up trying to hard to be trendy and forget to focus on the actual food but I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, food and service. Highly recommend it! Salmon tartar was excellent and so was the Beef Carpaccio… And the DESSERT POUTINE IS A MUST.
