Super souper hier soir avec mes deux amis au restaurant Le Filet !
Le poulpe grillé au quinoa était tout simplement délicieux avec une cuisson parfaite, tendre & savoureux. Quant aux linguines à l'encre de seiche… OMG 😨 ! Une vraie bombe gustative, riches en saveurs & parfaitement exécutées.
Le cadre est magnifique, avec une ambiance qui rappelle la mer & de subtiles références au monde du 🎾 .
Le service était au rendez-vous : attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix pour un restaurant de calibre Michelin. N'ayez pas peur d'y poussez la porte après réservation bien sûr !
Seul petit bémol : la salle devient rapidement bruyante quand elle est pleine, il faut parfois parler un peu plus fort pour s'entendre.
Mais honnêtement, ça reste une excellente adresse que je recommande sans hésiter ! 👌✨
A great night out. We had their oysters as a starter - 3 different kinds. Plain, crackling maple & miso au gratin, & it was hard to decide which were the best. Then we shared an off-menu plate of gnocchi that was to die for. For main courses I had an Icelandic cod with truffles that was incredible & my partner had a melt-in-your mouth beef cheek. Dessert was a delicious maple square.
They don't advertise much as it seems they have enough of a loyal following to stay busy every night & to catch the attention of Michelin.
Amongst Montréal's better restaurants, Le Filet reliably offers up great food, warm, professional, & knowledgeable service, & an enjoyable atmosphere.
Always on my list of recommendations.
Amazing food & even better service. Guillaume, our waiter, was fantastic & made the evening even more enjoyable. 6 stars for the professionalism & attentiveness of the service. Merci Guillaume!
We had an incredible experience at Le Filet, & a huge part of that was thanks to Gaizka & Guillaume.
From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed with genuine warmth & professionalism. Their hospitality was outstanding right from the start - attentive, thoughtful, & effortlessly smooth. They made us feel comfortable immediately, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Both Gaizka & Guillaume brought such great energy to the experience. Their knowledge of the menu, their recommendations, their timing - everything was perfectly executed. You can tell they truly care about their guests & take pride in what they do. The service felt natural, not forced, & incredibly sincere.
& the food… absolutely exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor. Combined with the level of service we received, it made the entire experience feel elevated & memorable.
Management should know that Gaizka & Guillaume are true assets to your team. They represent Le Filet with class, passion, & professionalism. Service like this is what turns a great restaurant into a truly special one.
Highly recommend Le Filet - & if you're lucky enough to be taken care of by Gaizka & Guillaume, you're in excellent hands.

6 years ago: A very original restaurant with incredibly good service & very tasty food. Would go back anytime.
In 2025: 50 minute wait to get a menu, waiter drinking behind the bar & completely uninterested, just a terrible experience throughout. What is the average of 5 stars & 1 star ?
We came here on a whim for NYE. Excellent service, food & atmosphere. Restaurant was able to provide a fully vegan meal without advanced notice. Everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Superbe expérience! Les plats sont succulents, les vins sont merveilleux & le service est magnifique. Pour un souper en amoureux, une date entre amis ou un party d'entreprise, cet établissement est un choix des plus exquis.
Un immense coup de coeur pour le service. Notre serveuse, Zoé, était incroyablement attentionnée & connaissait le menu sur le bout des doigts. Le sommelier, Nicolas, s'est montré avenant & généreux de son temps. Mention spéciale à toute l'équipe, efficace, chaleureuse & parfaitement synchronisée.
Nous sommes arrivés sans attentes, mais l'équipe nous a fait sentir comme si nous faisions partie de la famille, un véritable lieu de rassemblement. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter :)

TLDR: Cozy & delicious, but not really for celebrations.
It's a cozy bar/resto combo with great food. Maybe I've been spoiled in Dubai but the value wasn't quite there for me here unfortunately. Nearly 500$ for 4, split appetizers & desserts, 1 main 1 drink each.
Some context: I left a special note to them in advance for my dads 45y retirement celebration; we got an underwhelming sprinkler candle at the end that was over before we could even record, so I had to somewhat awkwardly ask for another. No quick celebration music, no singing, no complimentary drink or treat, just 15 seconds of small sparkles 🤷🏼?♂?
I take responsibility, but I fear the experience may not be very memorable for my dad.
Also not the venues fault, but note the road is trashed in front until it eventually gets fixed you'll have to park further & walk on icy/slushy sidewalks for blocks.
Nonetheless thank you to the friendly staff & delicious food, we enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Easily the best value culinary experience in Montreal. The miso-gratin oysters are to die for & the service is nothing less than extraordinary. Already been a few times now & will definitely be returning more especially as their menu is always changing & never fails to wow me.
Nous y étions hier soir pour l'anniversaire de mon chum.
Super ambiance & service.
Nous avons commandé les 6 huitres en entrée & celle au Miso etait parfaite: gratinee à souhait. Celle au jalapeno/erable etait delicieuse, mais nous avions pas l'impression de manger une huitre, le gout de celle-ci etait masquee.
La texture de la salade/ wonton décomposé était super. Le poisson était servi avec huile de sésame. C'était simple, mais bon.
Le ceviche lait coco/mousse de coriandre était gouteux, mais des saveurs que nous avons déjà goute auparavant. la mousse de coriandre était fade, nous n'avons pas ete epate par le melange de saveurs.
Les linguinis a l'encre de seiche étaient cuites à perfection. Un petit gout épicé venait masquer le goût des fruits de mers & la bisque de homard.
Le plat de canard a été servi tiède. La bouchée avec l'agrume était bonne & relevait le gout. La sauce sucrée style à l'orange etait bonne - la purée de celeri-rave etait un peu liquide.
D'emblée c'était bien, mais il manquait de saveurs & de complexité aux plats. Nous nous attendions à une meilleure créativité culinaire.
Je ne crois pas que nous reviendrons, mais avons quand même apprécie notre soirée. 🙂
