We had an incredible time at the Farsides after reviewing on OpenTable. We were visiting Montreal for a weekend and we were not disappointed. The tuna carpaccio was heavenly (my partner ordered it and I tried some, we still talk about it! . We ordered the burger, the pineapple chicken, and a handful of the cocktails (well-balanced . There were ample portions (I had to take about half of the pineapple chicken home which I enjoyed later . The ambiance was fantastic, we appreciated the unique character of the restaurant, the attentive waitstaff, and the food. Excellent, we cannot wait to come back to try the other dishes. Do book a reservation as they do fill up quickly.
I came to this establishment with 10 people and we were forced to do the group menu. The food was not enough for the amount of people eating and when we asked why we don’t have enough food they literally said they were short staffed. Everyone and all the reviews showed this place to be amazing. We were all disappointed as we ate at places like Weinstein and Gavinos, in addition to Gibbys. I would not recommend if your taking a large group.
We made a reservation that was somehow not recorded? The first drink I ordered was unable to be made because the simple syrup “smelled bad” so I made a new selection. The skewers were salty and dry, the short ribs while tender were super sweet and salty. The poor server was running her butt off trying to help all guests while the hostess stood around watching. She could have helped her clear tables or help run food. Vibe was cool though
While the ambiance and decor were on point.... the food was a miss. The rice was dry, whether it 's because it was undercooked or left over rice heated, the flavors were not memorable nor well executed. The same flavors without the plating and decor, would be considered bad Chinese take out . Wine and cocktail list were good.

Our first visit will nopt be the last. The Farsides ambiance is great and the vintage 1980s memorabilia is pushed to the extreme with breathtaking colorful murals. The food choices and execution is perfect : every single plate was an event in itself.
Service is slow. It took almost an hour to get our drinks, our food arrived first. But the food was excellent. Drinks are tasty. Music is way too loud (like being at a club). I’d still come back here but wish they would play their music less loud
Great food and flavours. Servers work hard to sell you other plates and when you get your portions you see why. Could use a downward adjustment in price or increase quantity. Otherwise very tasty.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food and drinks were delicious and arrived promptly.
