Le Filet is widely praised for a high level culinary experience, outstanding seafood, and warm, knowledgeable service, with many dishes beautifully plated and an inventive flavor balance, all set in a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that makes it ideal for a special night out; the menu features standouts like the fish of the day, crudo, octopus and gnocchi, and while the wine list is extensive, prices can be steep and a few guests note noise or slower service on busy weekend evenings and the occasional dish that misses the mark such as undercooked scallops; overall it is regarded as one of Montreal's best dining destinations and guests say they would return to try more of the changing menu.
What an amazing experience & taste was extremely memorable. Service was impeccable for our large party. Thank you to the chef, all the support staff for making this place amazing.
Great professional service! Nice ambiance restaurant chic & cozy! Food is made with passion & precision! Great for a date night or business night! A real hidden gem in Mount-Royal.
Group of four on a Saturday evening, we had reservations at 5.30pm as it was the only available time so think ahead if you want to go on a weekend evening. Warm welcome on arrival & seated promptly near the bar. The layout is narrow & deep with a bar on one side & open kitchen at the back. Apps were good, we had the oysters to start, gf had ceviche which was the best starter of the group. My tuna tartare was good as well. Mains were also very good, fish & beef jowls were excellent. Extensive wine list is offered but very pricey with only a few
Le Filet completely impressed us. From the moment we walked in, Jesse at the host stand was warm, polished, & welcoming, & Guillaume gave us exceptional service all evening. The food was outstanding - beautifully plated, creative, & full of flavor. Every dish felt refined & memorable, from the delicate crudo to the perfectly executed seafood & the rich truffle pasta. Even dessert was stunning. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it perfect for a special night out. Truly one of the best dining experiences we've had in Montreal. Highly recommend.
What a gem of a restaurant. The meal was one of the best I've had in years (fish of the day & the maple dessert were standouts) & the service was excellent throughout. Special thanks to Sarah who was knowledgeable & delightful in equal measure.

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 ?
