I dined with a friend recently at the Balsam Inn. She's a local Montrealer, I'm a former resident back for a quick visit. Neither of us had been to the Balsam, so it was a new experience for us both. It is conveniently located in the downtown core, across from Dorchester Square on Metcalfe near Rene Levesque.We were glad that we had made reservations, given that Saturday evening is very busy in downtown Montreal. The Balsam was a happening spot when we were there - diners streamed in the entire evening, but there never seemed to be much of a wait. We were immediately greeted at the door and were shown to a cozy table for two at the front next to the window. Thanks to an open half wall along...
The Balsam Inn was recommended to my party by a business coleague who is a local and had dined at the cozy restaurant before. Boy, was I glad she introduced me to this gem. We were seated quickly (which was surprising given it was Formula E weekend) and what was planned to be a short meal quickly became a 3 hour affair, as we were smitten by the terrific food, great wine, and very efficient and friendly staff. I had the arrancini as an appetizer after spotting this Italian street food on the plate of a diner on the patio as we walked in. Very nice. The cannelloni was described by our enthusiastic waitress as being really, really, really good, largely due to the freshness of the ingredients a...
La nourriture est très bonne, belle ambiance, décor chaleureux!Les portions pourraient être un petit peu plus grosses.. Mais c'était bien, après entrée, repas et dessert, je n'avais plus vraiment faim, mais je n'étais pas rassasiée. Mon copain n'a pas aimé son entrée par contre, le cake au chorizo avec confiture et œuf poché tiède... j'ai goûté et c'est vrai que ce n'était pas super. Drôle de mixe, trop de confiture, trop sucré... Par contre, il a bien aimé le tartare de bœuf. Les arancinis étaient très bons, et le thon super tendre avec des rapinis bien cuits puis une bonne purée de céleri rave avec raisins au vin blanc. J'ai adoré le thon! Les desserts (tiramisu et blondin caramel arachide...

We piled into this busy and boisterous restaurant on a Saturday night. It was very loud but energizing on a Saturday night. The decor was cool. Service was better than we've experienced at most other Montreal restaurants. House made tonic was great and they had an interesting cocktail list. The appetizers-arancini and the chorizo cake (sounds weird but great) were delicious. The pastas were unique and generous. The peanut blondie was flavourful. The herbal tea (loose leaf tisane) was a nice change from coffee with our desert.
The food here is delicious. I had the green salad with an amazing roasted shallot dressing and the penne. My husband had the soup of the day and the cannelloni. My portion was large and very filling but his was a bit on the smaller side. For dessert we had the peanut blondie with sour cream ice cream it was very nice! The ambiance is really nice inside and we had very good service. We really enjoyed our meal here!
I am a regular visitor to Taverne Dominion Square (sister restaurant next door); this was my first visit to Balsam Inn, for a work dinner. The evening was fantastic. Service was relaxed but attentive. The menu is not huge, but there are a number of good French/Italian options. The cocktail menu is creative. The food was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Wonderful atmosphere and dogs. Husband had steak tartare I had a pasta dish with a side of fries. Then we had cappuccino, espresso and the peanut Blondie dessert. I've never had sour cream ice cream before. It was amazing. Service was wonderful as well! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Du même propriétaire que son voisin Taverne Square Dominion, l'expérience y est toute aussi intéressante. Tant pour la qualité et l'originalité des plats que le service attentionné et la carte des vins bien choisi. Les prix sont très correct.
