This is a nice, casual place to dine or enjoy a nice brew (or two). We stopped in here on our first night in Montreal and the bartender was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He was quite helpful in assisting me with the menu when I told him that I had a dairy allergy. I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was incredibly flavorful! The meal came with a delicious salad, which balanced it out nicely. My boyfriend ordered the bison burger, which did come out very well done. That seems to be more the norm in Montreal, but you could probably request it to be done differently. Of the beers we had, nothing stood out as being incredibly unique, but they were all of good quality. All in all, dining at L'amere A Boire was a positive experience.
