A taste of the UK in La Petite-Bourgogne
Rated this place:
The recently established Burgundy Lion restaurant and bar is described as “…a modern English pub with traditional English cuisine mixed with a more laid back, quintessentially Montreal feel”. The Montreal influence can be seen with the Lion’s selection of draft beer, among other things, including popular locals Burgundy Lion Ale ($6), St-Henri’s microbrew Bierbrier ($7), Unibroue’s Blanche De Chambly ($7), and Cidre du Minot ($7). In addition, the bar features an impressive scotch and whisky list, premium gin, and moderately priced wine. Stop in to watch the game, or enjoy a plate of Fish & Chips de la Petite Bourgogne ($16) made with Cod which, although delicious, sat a little heavy. The Fish & Chips are served with the Lion’s famed homemade house chips (I opted for an over-dressed, soggy salad - *sigh*) and something I assumed was guacamole – not so. ‘Twas mushy peas.
The staff seem to love their jobs – the bartender I spoke to was singing praises about her coworkers, her superiors, and the wonderful working atmosphere. I’m told the “Sticky Toffee Pudding” ($8) is not quite authentic, but that the outside terrace is wonderful in the summertime. Defiantly a place to try, at least for a pint, in the up-and-coming Little Burgundy neighbourhood.
