Randy’s Bistro sits comfortably in Montreal West as a neighborhood spot where the focus is on approachable, thoughtfully prepared food alongside attentive service. This full-service restaurant welcomes both casual diners and small groups looking for a straightforward yet satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. The space itself feels clean and bright, with a cozy seating area that makes it easy to settle in for brunch, lunch, or early dinner without fuss.

The menu leans into local favorites and approachable dishes with a twist, drawing attention to items like their signature Caesar Salad, house-made fish cakes, and a distinctively styled MTL pizza — a take on Detroit-style deep-dish, square-cut pizza topped with Montreal smoked meat that breaks from the usual thin-crust expectations. Sandwiches here lean on classic comfort, with choices like a Silk-Fil-A inspired chicken sandwich and a hearty Chicken Parm, catering well to those craving familiar flavors executed with care.

Beyond the food, Randy’s pays attention to the details that shape a visit — from the clean lines and bright ambiance of the dining room to small flourishes like their charming clipboard menus and a bathroom wallpaper that caught the eye of local patrons. Their wine and cocktail lists, including offerings like a crisp Pinot Grigio or a straightforward Martini, complement meals without overshadowing them, adding balance to the dining experience. The service vibe is consistently welcoming and attentive, with staff often going the extra mile to accommodate dietary preferences or help navigate the menu’s more Instagram-friendly options.

This bistro works well for midday meetups, casual business lunches, or a relaxed weekend brunch, especially appreciated by locals who enjoy a blend of traditional dishes and thoughtful twists. Weekday early lunches tend to have a steady flow of workers and residents, while weekend visits pull in families and friends looking for straightforward, well-prepared meals in a no-pressure atmosphere.

In short, Randy’s Bistro offers a local dining experience that respects familiar comfort foods while keeping things fresh and approachable. Its presence in Montreal West contributes a warm, practical spot for anyone after a solid meal without the need for formality or fanfare.

Went here with my work colleague for a light meal and we were very happy with the experience! Small, clean and bright seating area and excellent service. We stuck to sharing a few of the side dishes (nachos, poutine and grilled cheese) and liked all of them. Very friendly and the dishes tasted great!

Classic breakfast - homefries, fruit, great coffee. Nice ambiance. Great music (not overpowering and... tasteful). Warm staff. Thank you!

love: the wallpaper in the bathroom, the quality of the food, the cute clipboard menus, the wine, the server’s willingness to recommend me the most instagrammable dish

Excellent meal. Friendly staff. Attentive owner. High quality ingredients, prepared with expert care, at a reasonable price. Very excited to have such an excellent restaurant nearby. Tasted the Caesar, fish n’ chips, and MTL pizza with smoke meat. Be advised, Randy’s serves Detroit style pizza. These are not the round flat pizzas you may be accustomed to. Deep dish and square, the crunch is drool inducing. Can’t wait to come back and sample more of the menu. 10/10 recommend. Edit: went back for another visit at lunchtime. Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Tasted the fish cakes, Silk-Fil-A fried chicken sandwich, and chicken parm sandwich (limited time special). Both sandwiches are phenomenal and the fish cakes were fresh and delicious. Very well composed dishes. The Silk-Fil-A sandwich is a MUST-TRY. And if you’re on the fence, get the fries, you won’t be disappointed. The market salad is also very good for those of us watching what we eat. The service was on-point, again. And the owner, who was cooking in the kitchen, took the time to talk with us and the other patrons after our meals. Randy’s embodies what I desire from a friendly neighbourhood bistro.

The picture from Google doesn’t do them justice! The food was 10/10 — real ingredients, fresh salmon, and perfectly seasoned. The service was excellent as well.

My parents have been regulars at Randy’s since it opened a few years back and I when I was looking for a local spot for my wedding reception it was the obvious choice. I rented it for a private event for 47 people and working with Ryan to organize was super easy. Food was top notch, all my guests had nothing but positive things to say, and the price was also very reasonable! Thanks to Ryan and his team for a great night, highly recommended!
