Deville Dinerbar

Deville Dinerbar reimagines classic comfort food in a stylish, playful setting that appeals to both kids and parents. The menu reads like a greatest hits of North American diner food — burgers, mac and cheese, poutine, milkshakes — but everything is made with better ingredients and creative twists.

The mac and cheese is the dish most families come for, and it delivers. Creamy, rich, and available with add-ons like lobster or truffle. Kids who are used to the boxed version will be pleasantly surprised. The burgers are thick, juicy, and stacked high — shareable for younger kids who can't tackle a full one.

The interior is intentionally over-the-top: marble-topped tables, bold art on the walls, and a general atmosphere of controlled chaos that kids thrive in. It's loud enough that your toddler's tantrum blends into the background noise. The booths are roomy and comfortable for families.

The bar side of the operation means cocktails for parents while kids dig into milkshakes. It's one of the few Montreal restaurants where both adults and children leave genuinely satisfied with what they ate.

Located downtown on Sainte-Catherine Street, the restaurant is accessible from Peel or McGill metro stations. The lunch crowd is more family-oriented, while evenings skew toward groups and date nights. Weekend brunch is popular and can have a wait — arrive before 11 AM or expect 20+ minutes.

Portions are generous, so families with younger kids can easily share dishes. The fries are consistently excellent and come in a generous pile with every entree.
