We came here because the mussels were supposed to be good and it got decent reviews but we were mostly disappointed with the food. We got the classic mussel, some fries with chipotle mayo dip and a French onion to split. All around, everything was a bit bland. Mussels could have been more flavorful, French onion soup was serviceable at best, and the fries were a bit flavorless. Beer and service... plus

Great mussels, beer, and bison burgers. Would definitely go back. Yes, service could be better. But very good food and drinks at a very reasonable price.

Many things. First, we had terrible service. The place was almost empty and it always took the guy forever to come and serve us, and he was cold and disinterested. When we asked for some recommendations, you could see that he had just no idea what he was talking about and at one point he served us the wrong kind of glass for the type of beer we ordered.

They have a lot of beer choices, but... plus

Fun, cheerful and great selection of drinks of course :). Menu offers a good variety and ifyou're a burger fan, the selection of different meats to try is fun; bison, caribou and even ostritch! Of course, if you like mussels, this is your place ;)

Better beer selection than anywhere else we have been. The French onion soup is different in a good way...its sweetened with carrots and comes with delicious cheddar on top. Our bartender was top rate. Lost one star for lack of draft beer selection, but I think that's a Canadian thing...

They have das boot! 1.5 liters. Enjoy.

The food has gone downhill. We ordered French Onion Soup, Nachos, and Chicken Wings. I know, I know, we should have ordered the muscles, but come on - this stuff was on the menu, if they don't want people to eat it, don't put it on the menu.

The French Onion Soup was 40% cheese, and so sweet - eyes closed - it could have been a caramel macchiato. The wings weren't the worst, but just weren't... plus

Horrible!!! The worst service EVER!!! Went there on Monday Dec 8th around 9 pm and the waiter was extremely rude all night!!! Normal food, overpriced! But the worst service!!!! Hope the boss can read this and really do about it... The waiter ruined my brother's b-day!

Three of us went here on a Tuesday evening at around 6:30. We were greeted by the hostess and shown to our seats. That was it. 15 minutes later after no one aknowledged that we were there except for the hostess who kept on sneaking into the kitchen and coming back out pretending not to chew on something.

We slowly got up and left. No staff even noticed.

I can understand if they were packed,... plus

This place is amazing for mussels and beer. Two dozen varieties of mussel sauces and over a hundred different beers from local breweries and worldwide. Each beer is served in its appropriate branded glassware and on its branded coaster. Fries come with the mussels and a choice of fine dipping sauces. Yum. You need to reserve on Saturdays.

I'm a brew pub junkie, and on the West Coast, we have a lot of them. I was really seeking a chill place to check-out in Montreal, and certainly found it here. Their beer menu (in French) was extensive, but a bit hard to understand. Yeah, I know, I'm one of those English-speaking Americans who should take the time to learn the local language. I'm a beer snob, and I'm used to a little-bit better... plus

I am sad to have to give a poor review to one of my favorite restaurants going back 9 years. It appears the owner has decided to turn it into a quasi-night club, with a DJ and music turned up to extremely loud. But at 830 pm?? How can anyone enjoy a meal with friends when everyone is shouting and straining to hear? Bad choice Mr. Owner. When I complained, the staff responded quite... plus

This corner restaurant on bustling St. Denis in the Plateau district is a crowd pleaser. We came with our kids (ages 4, 9, 12) for the moules et frites! (Of course, we adults also enjoyed sampling a few libations from the menu de bières.) The best surprise is the all you can eat mussels (same price) Mon-Weds nights! We took advantage of that!

Service was prompt and friendly. Many choices for... plus

Came back w friend & took advantage of the ayce which was a great deal.

Good tv screens and lots of bieres. Service could b better & tables get tight w all the items they bring u for the mussels & beers.

What can possibly go wrong with a combination of beer and mussels, really nothing if you have extensive beer list and huge mussel flavor options. The problem is the mussels in this pub are a little bit hit and miss the way they are prepared, they are either not cooked enough or not the best quality, difficult to determine. I'd rather have small quantity of good mussels then one kilo of whatever... plus

Good Eats and a "hundred bottles of beer on the wall

Our family of foodies decided to try this restaurant after a quick internet search. It was easy to find but parking can be a challenge on a sunny, brisk afternoon in Montreal. The restaurant was bright and our table had a great view of the pedestrian traffic on St. Denis. The extensive beer menu was like reading a short novel.... plus

The mussels were excellent. The french fries were mediocre, but the choucroutte (sauerkraut) was awful: large chunks of hard uncooked cabbage with carrots, potatoes, and, admittedly some slices of sausage all floating in warm water. It ruined our evening.
Ed

Beware

Beware !! If you like your mussels cooked soft and succulent then you may be very disappointed as I was last evening 25Jan2014. I ordered the traditional 'Moules Marinieres' which is mussels in white wine and shallot broth, the most basic and well known method. My mussels arrived completely over cooked, totally shrunken and shrivelled and look like peanuts rather... plus

Fun & Lively Atmosphere

Great evening at this restaurant with a really fun atmosphere. Restaurant offered a fantastic menu of beers and the food was terrific. We chose to start with two appetizers of mussels featuring two different broths and they were both superb! Our entrees were the sausage sampler and these were excellent as well.

Bison, Ostrich or Caribou

Nice restaurant that showcases beer from micro breweries, imported, local, you name it. Yes most of them are the most commercial ones (and you can find them almost anywhere) but at least you have a large selection to satisfy your tastebuds.
Their menu focuses more on mussels, they have two entire pages dedicated to them, but we decided to go... plus

Amazing meat, mussels and beer

Fabulous burger with a huge selection of beer. My friend had a huge serving of mussels. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

One of the best for mussels and beer

OMG! You will have your fill of mussels, especially on Sun-Wed when it is bottomless! 2 kgs of mussels for 4 people were plenty, without refills.... We had the Indonesian style (wine, coconut milk, basil, cayenne pepper, celery, onions, shallots) and the Irish style (Guinness, wine, cream, mushrooms, honey, Dijon mustard, celery, onions, shallots) - both good. We also shared... plus

Les moules sont délicieuses.

Service was friendly and with a smile. I had the European mussels and our waiter made good suggestions on beers. I can't resist mussels, it's a weakness. The ambiance was cute for a date or an intimate group dinner.

For the beer selection alone, this place is worth repeat visits. The food is okay as well. Most popular items are the 30 or so varieties of all-you-can-eat mussels. If you go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, reservations are highly recommended.

Consistently Great Mussels

Visit for delicious mussels. We had the Moules Bieres & Cie version. A large pot of mussels cooked with bacon, poutine cheese, onions, shallots, green pepper sauce, wine, cream and celery. This is one of my favorite ones! You also receive bread and French fries with dipping sauce. You won't go hungry. Lots of great draft beer as well -... plus

Been to this casual with flair restaurant about half a dozen times in the last few years. It's always a pleasant experience.
Their menu is original with bison, dear and ostrich burgers. They have over 30 types of mussels and fries dishes. Tried about 4 or 5 of them and all were very good. The mussel portions are huge while the french fries portions are small.
I also like the fact they have a... plus

Got the burger of the month. Was good but not exceptional. The menu is a little pricy for the quality and service.

Nice place great beers Amazing music!

Always a fun time and great food

Been there a couple of times now, always good. Staff is always super nice and friendly. The beer selection is awesome, but the food is also very original. Nice plates, very tasty and fair prices. I love the ambiance, particulary in the summer with the large windows open. Perfect for a dinner with friends!

A place for moules-frites like in Brussels

A North American open table diner with 96 places serving over 30 varieties of mussels with fries, sausages and excellent salads,specialty hamburgers, with "all you can eat" on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Offers bar, internet, liquor service, and quaint ambiance in the heart of Le Plateau Mont-Royal, a Montreal touristy area. Friendly and efficient service with a choice of over... plus

Great Beers and Beer friendly food

Great atmostphere and busy place. We sat at the bar and chatted with the charming bartender Carson! Nice selection of local beers and belgian beers on tap and in bottles. For dinner, my BF really enjoyed a well prepared caribou burger. I had delicious house made sausages with frites and yummy sauerkraut. Order the garlic aioli with your frites. Big... plus

My first time in Montreal! I have heard so much about the food here and because my bf and I were only here for two days, we (or I) wanted to maximize my eating experience. My bf brought me to this very popular brunch place (name eludes me now) and the line was INSANE! I am normally not a stand-in-line girl, but add to the fact that it was FRICKIN cold, I was dying. And I was hungry. I was so... plus

Wonderful selection of imported beers

We mostly go to Biere & Compagnie for the mussels and... for the beer. The beer selection is impressive though not as good as it used to be. The mussels are amazing and they have several recipes. Call before because the restaurant is often full.

Me and my boyfriend were visiting Montreal for the first time, and whist looking for somewhere to have dinner, we stumbled across Bieres et Compagnie. It looked so warm and inviting on what was a very cold evening. We were seated fairly quickly without a reservation. The decor and the ambiance in the place was pretty sweet and relaxing. Decorated with loads of beer bottles and vintage beer... plus

Great beer and moules

Brilliant food if you like mussels (I wouldn't recommend it otherwise!) and a hefty beer menu with samples from around the world. Great relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, definitely worth a visit!

While this is not the best place to have a quiet, romantic dinner because the music is always very loud - they even have speakers outside the restaurant... I don't get that - it is hands down the best place in Montreal for mussels, fries and killer homemade mayo.

Dined here just last night after feeling conflicted on where to go. I immediately knew we chose right upon entering the restaurant. It was dark and busy without being packed, and every table seemed to be in great spirits. I got a burger with spicy garlic mayo and an American IPA. Food was solid despite the fact that the burger was only available well done. The real winner for me were the fries... plus

I wish I had more time to spend at this place because I really want to try more of their menu. Spending a long weekend in Montreal and came across this after much yelping for a high quality beer-food combo.

The beer selection is ridiculous. Most of the varieties are a bit further afield than what I get to taste in my travels, which was a welcome surprise. There are about 8 beers on tap, and... plus

Amazing Beer and great service

This restaurant by far was one of the best beer style restaurants that we have been to in a long time. The service was amazing! I brought my husband there for his birthday. We are both avid beer lovers (beer trotters) we were not disappointed. The vast selection of beers were amazing ,a full menu just for that. Not to... plus

A touch expensive but great food and a wide selection of beer

Great beer, decent food (nothing to write home about), but man, our waiter... In the end, we spoke with "the manager", didn't pay for one meal, almost got up and didn't pay for any. Again, because of retard-a-waiter. I'm sure if we were served by someone else, my review would be quite different. Good beer though..

Mussel Heaven

If you are looking for some amazing and delicious mussels then this is your restaurant. There has to be about twenty different ways you can have them done. You also get an order of bread and French fries and you can choose different mayo flavors to dip the fries in.

Good, but expensive for what it is.

The selection of literally dozens of different kids of mussels is dizzying. The only thing even more impressive is the enormous beer menu, featuring everything from Belgian trappist ales to local microbrew specialties. The burgers and other food items are creative and tasty, and the portion sizes are reasonable without being stingy. I also enjoy the... plus

Yummy mussels, a great selection of beer, friendly though very aloof service

I went with a group of 5. We made a reservation, and were promptly seated. The menu is in French and English, good news for our multi-national group with varying French and English proficiencies. We happened to go in on Wednesday, an all-you-can-eat mussels night, though admittedly I didn't even finish my first portion (1 kilo is a lot of... plus

Worth a visit or two

On my three day trip to Montreal, I made the rare move of eating here twice. The atmosphere is nothing special and reminds me of any brew pub. However, the menu is huge and the value is incredible. The menu had to contain at least 50 beers and thirty preparations of mussels, as well as numerous appetizers, steaks, and burgers.... plus

Ok so if you like beer, come here. Seriously. Just do it. You will thank me later. Why?

Because they have over 100 beers to choose from, all countries, some local, all alcohol %, fruit, not fruit, amber, dunkel, weiss..you name it they have it. I am not a big beer fan, but I enjoyed the 3 that I tried.

Next. If you like seafood, come here for the mussels. Seriously. Just do it. You will thank... plus

Came here for dinner on our first night in Montreal. It was close to our apt and a little off the beaten path. We were seated at a table and though this place specializes in brews we decided on a bottle of rose. It was moderately priced and not too dry. For dinner i chose on a small caesar salad and a small pot of mussels. There are about 10 different the of mussels to choose from I opted for... plus

Love, love, LOVE this place!!! Perfect place for sustenance after a full day visiting the Botanical Gardens + Insectarium. Why the love? 1) An extensive/impressive beer selection (Unibroue, now one of my new fave beer makers - hope I can find their brews in Ca!); 2) Food: Fully loaded nachos with bacon, sausage, chicken, black olives, cheese + onions. Bison burger was juicy and flavorful; 3)... plus

Great mussels, but slow service

Our daughter and son-in-law took us here to eat their famous mussels and we weren't disappointed in the food. The service was something else. After waiting at least 30 minutes after placing our order, the server came by and said it would be another 15 - 20 minutes and breezed away with no explanation. After yet another 15 minutes, during... plus

Yum, yum, yum

They should let people sample one or two of the 30-or-so differerent kinds of mussels they have, because I am sure they are all just as delicious as the ones we had! Wow! :)

There's a simple satisfaction with the pairing of Belgium Beers and Mussels.
I was quite excited to have Bières et Compagnie on my path of consumption.
100 kinds of local & imported Beers can make anybody excited and blushing.
Moules prepared in every way possible with a handful cooked in Beer, oui Beer.
Can you feel the same excitement I did when I read this on their website?

Absolutely love this place

I have been here quite a few times and love the decor, the big booths, the food and the amazing selection of beers.
Last time we went for the all-you-can-eat mussels during the week, and we were given a sample of a beer to start the evening. I then ordered what I always order here: La Schoune a l'Erable, a... plus

I've been here twice now and really enjoyed it both times. We came early both times, so no problems with seating, and had delicious meals. But let's get real; I went for the beer. I had some delicious beers, some mediocre beers, and the hands-down-wash-my-mouth-out-with-soap-worst-I've-ever-had beer (maple syrup something-or-other... don't do it!).

Back to the food for a moment: the menu is... plus

3 star for the food and the beer... 2 star for the service (one of the worst I experienced in Montreal during my short trip)

Bieres et compagnie has great selections of beer... pages and pages of beers... hard to make a choice especially the place is so dark... Can you move the candle over?

Mussels... mussels are really good! I really enjoyed them... they are big and fresh and the broth just... plus

Good deal on mussels

Went here on a Monday with my friend and had the "all you can eat" mussels special which they apparently have certain evenings of the week.
What you get is a huge 1 kg batch of mussels with fries and mayo of choice for appr. 20 CAD, which is great value in itself. We were completely stuffed and did not... plus

Great Drink Selection and great food

We were very excited about the different wild game offered on the menu and the beer and wine selection is Awesome!

This place is, well, kind of douche-bag central. The atmosphere is lavish and exuberant for no reason, the music obnoxious and the service leaves a bad taste in your mouth. However, their beer selection is impressive, and I had a hard time picking just one to try. I also love all of the beer cocktails they offer. I tried the raspberry beer and although it would have been better in summer, it... plus

If you like mussels, this place will do ;) 3 pages of different mussel dishes, a full beer menu + it's been around for long enough that you know no one has ever been poisoned here (which is the first thing I look for in a mussel restaurant).

This place is a Quebec chain. The restos are conveniently located, large enough to generally accommodate you whenever you show up. Large plastic menu in the style of American chains, but in French and with an emphasis on foods we dig here in Quebec like moules et frites and smoked meat. The food is average, but if you go for beers and fries during 5a7 you're likely to leave feeling buoyant and... plus

Another good find

We wandered in late one afternoon feeling tired and hungry and certainly found ourselves in just the right place. I think it's a big old bank, has a great feel for a pub. The list of drinks is extensive and our menu choice of ostrich burgers was excellent. Service was delightful. A definite return to spot.

Stay away!!!! So horrible

My friends and I went to this restaurant for my friends birthday. I'm going to cut right to the chase.. it was horrible. it took three hours to get our food. Sadly, I am not exaggerating. My appetizer, onion soup, was luke warm as was my friends. My friend got an appetizer that was 15$ and it was 3 tiny... plus

Dont waste your money

My wife read one review of this place online (not trip advisor) and it was very favourable. She checked the website, looked at the photos and we decided we would give it a try.
We went early afternoon and there were about 10 customers in the place. We sat in a booth which gave us a view of the entire... plus

Excellent, just excellent

Outstanding Bieres and a varied menu, at all a great price. Service was outstanding. Food was outstanding, large portions, well prepared and extremely tastey. Wound up eating there several times. If you like mussels (their specialty) then this place is a must. If you like biere, this place is a must. Don't miss out on this gem of Montreal.

Went there with a bunch of friends. Ordered various mussel dishes, fries and beers. The mussels were OK - though mine were a bit sandy and on the small side. Flavors were decent enough. Good beer selection. Solid service - nothing to write home about though. With all that said, I'd go back. Nice atmosphere for a late summer day.

Awesome spot for mussel lovers

It was a Wednesday evening before seeing a show on Ste-Catherine street, my teenage son, sister and her teenage daughter gathered at "Bieres & Co" before the concert to take advantage of their "all-you-can-eat" mussel cauldron. Their menu offers other items such as ostrich burgers which my sister had and said it was the best burger she ever ate. My... plus

I've never had a problem getting seated here. I've been in for both lunch and dinner several times, as well as for the occasional afternoon drinks-and-dessert. The food is very good--dinner especially, I think, when you can get any number of game meats in addition to the usual beef, chicken, and mussels. I've especially enjoyed the bison here. There are also some great desserts--the cheesecake... plus

One of the worst dining experiences of my life

Bieres & Co was a bad experience in just about every way. I went for the all you can eat mussels special, which, first of all, is not much of a special at all. You still have a to buy a regular serving mussels for $20, which is already big enough satisfy most appetites. I wasn't there to stuff my... plus

Bières et Compagnie does one thing, and they do it right. Hundreds of varieties of beer, with food pairings to match.

Before Yelp came to Canada I found myself wandering St Denis not knowing where to eat. That was 4 summers ago. When I searched "Mussels" on Yelp recently, I came face to face with the very place I passed an evening drinking fruity beers from a staggering list and nibbling on frites. And how happy was I to find an old favourite.This time, I was floored by the choices in mussels - three pages... plus

Beer and Mussels... what more can you want

We went to Bieres & Compagnie during our stay in Montreal, as it was recommended to us by the owner of the place that we stayed. It is located about a 15 minute walk from the downtown area but once we had arrived we knew it was worth it.
As you walk in the restaurant has a wall of old... plus

Great food and great service! Good variety of beer! I travel to Montreal once a year in the spring and Bières Et Compagnie is always on my list of places to visit! I really enjoy the mussels and the fries. I'll be there again in May!!!

This place is an exceptional gastropub.  A well-curated and extensive selection of beers, primarily focused on Belgians, it seems.  Local brewers are nicely represented in the list, as well as a wide range of imports.  There really isn't a beer there that I wouldn't consider enjoying.  While there, we enjoyed De Block's Satan Gold, St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat from McAuslan, Unibroue's Don de... plus

Mussels without the Brussels

With a wine menu that goes for pages and a nice selection of mussels, this is a fun place to be. My favourite are the Irish mussels with Guiness. You will also find a selection of other dishes including ostrich, bison, deer and caribou, but their specialty is definitely the mussels. One word of caution, mussels are steamy and mixed... plus

If you like a mind-blowing beer and mussels selection, then get your butt here pronto. I was blown away by the beer list, which is far bigger than their menu. Nevertheless, I have never seen so many delectable mussel creations served piping hot and super delicious. Everything I drank and ate was shear bliss and it wasn't as pricey as I expected. The quality of beer, mussels and service made... plus

The beer list is great and the atmosphere is very relaxed compared to the rest of the area.  We got a few burgers that were really interesting.  Caribou burger was decent and the ostrich with goat cheese was great!  They know how to make an awesome french fry and the best part was that they were topped with sweet potatoes chips that were really delicious.  Definitely check this place out!

Yum. Have been twice on 2 visits to Montreal. Not at all touristy, plenty of tables at lunchtime. Beer list is all in French but on second visit our server recommended a local Montreal beer Coup de Grisou which was a buckwheat spicy beer that become our favorite. We are so sad it is available in the US! Lots of variations of mussels to choose fun, large portion for a hefty price, but worth it.... plus

Interesting menu, the mussels are great

Came here last night with my wife to celebrate her new job.
First thing i noticed when i came in is that it is a bit smaller than i thought it would be. There's a glass display with various bottles of beer, most of them older versions of existing beers (a Corona stubby!). The whole vibe of the restaurant is upscale a little & trendy. Not bad but found it a bit lacking.

They know their beer -- and it's served in the right glasses with brand specific coasters! Talk about attention to detail. Oh and the mussels and food were fabulous too. Can't... plus

Les bières sont assez dispendieuses mais elles sont toujours servies dans leur verre précis. L'ambiance et calme, propice à une discussion entre amis. La sélection semble bonne. N'étant pas une amateure de bière, j'ai goûté à cet endroit une bière belge qui m'a bien plue: Duchesse de Bourgogne.
