Liverpool House

Comfort Food Meets Cool Vibes in Montreal’s Little Burgundy

Just a short ride from downtown Montreal’s biggest concert venues, Liverpool House is a neighborhood gem that blends the charm of a cozy bistro with the energy of a lively gathering spot. Think rustic wood interiors, chalkboard menus, and a bustling, no-fuss vibe. Known for its French-Canadian comfort food and sister restaurant to the iconic Joe Beef, it’s a favorite among locals and travelers alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Conveniently located in the Little Burgundy district, Liverpool House is a go-to spot for show nights. Its relaxed yet energetic atmosphere makes it ideal for a pre-concert dinner with friends. Guests rave about the efficient and friendly service, which keeps things moving even when the house is full. The wine list is robust (and well-curated), and the menu is hearty without being heavy — perfect fuel for an evening of live music.

Areas for Improvement
