Overall, Au Petit Extra is described as a charming French and Mediterranean bistro with a warm, cozy atmosphere and attentive service. Diners praise high quality ingredients, generous portions, refined presentations, and a well rounded wine list, with standout dishes such as duck confit, beef gravlax, and a notable creme brulee, plus desserts like sorbets. The experience is often a pleasant evening with good value for the price, a vibe that invites lingering with family or friends, and a menu that keeps people returning to try more. On the downside, a few meals disappointed with bland or overcooked dishes and occasional slow service, including a notably negative experience involving slow timing and a difficult interaction with the owner. Nevertheless, the consensus leans positive overall, with many guests planning to return to explore additional menu items and to enjoy the convivial ambiance.
We arrived 2 hours before a show & informed the wait staff we needed to leave by a certain time. They told us not to worry & that we'd have plenty of time. It took one hour to get my salad appetizer & the main dish arrived 45 minutes later, so 15 minutes before our show. We even asked & paid for the bill before getting our plates. The waiters apologized but offered no compensation. We had a few bites & had to hurry out since we were already late for our show. It was very disappointing & ruined the whole evening.
Expérience MTL en lumière
Les entrées furent un pure délice
Nous aurions toutefois aimé que les serveurs connaissent mieux les plats présentés parfois il fallait deviner !
Restaurant hors pair! Nourriture exceptionnelle! Service attentionné & professionnel! De plus, les prix sont très raisonnables considérant cette superbe expérience européenne.
On se sent comme à la maison. Accueil chaleureux, service impeccable. Produits de qualité, dommage le ris de veau était trop cuit. Une belle carte des vins.
Dear petit extra restaurant
With my family went to eat about a week ago for my moms's birthday … & unfortunately we have to say that the experience was not good! The food was not to our standard I ask to the risotto & I have to say it was the worst risotto I have ever tried. No taste, not creamy at all, the mushrooms tasted like a dirty mushroom taken straight from the soil my moms plate … the steak was ok but the fries burn to the ground most of them were black burn nothing we try was tasty … I asked for another plate cuz I couldn't eat the risotto & it was not great either le chèvre au chaud …for the price they ask … I have to say don't worth much of a dollar.

Un excellent 4 services au Menu de Montréal à Table.
Menu généreux & plein de saveurs.
J'ai adoré le gravlax de boeuf.. & surpris par la mousse au chocolat avocat qu'on aurait aimé en avoir une de plus à emporter.
Nous avons passé une belle soirée.
Une découverte de ce restaurant à refaire
Super belle découverte hier soir! La cuisine méditerranéenne était pleine de saveurs & super bien équilibrée. Service attentionné & souriant dans une ambiance chaleureuse & cosy qui donne envie de prolonger la soirée. Bref, un endroit où on a envie de revenir.
Mention spéciale aux sorbets maison!! J'ai pris framboise, rose & chèvre : malade 😋
Excellent service, attentive, friendly & quick. Food is excellent, most French classics are present. The wine list is comprehensive & priced reasonably. A very pleasant experience.
C'est un resto qui est la depuis des annees & ça pour une tres bonne raisons c'est qu'ils ont reste fidele au resto d'origine. Un des supers restos francais a Montreal & ce sans pretention mais repas wow & service impeccable. Je recommande totalement

We spent a fantastic night with family in this lovely restaurant. Food is delicious & presented beautifully. I ordered the duck confit which was tender & flavourful. Service is attentive. We will definitely come back & try other menus.
Ce restaurant gastronomique de renom bénéficie d'une excellente réputation. Les plats, bien élaborés & artistiquement présentés, offrent une belle qualité, bien que l'expérience globale ne soit pas tout à fait à la hauteur des attentes d'une aventure culinaire mémorable. La carte des vins, riche & variée, saura séduire les amateurs, même si les prix peuvent sembler un peu élevés. En revanche, la crème brûlée se distingue par sa délicatesse & mérite d'être savourée.Je ne crois pas y retourner.
Je suis allé pour ma fête & je dois dire que le canard confit est probablement mon meilleur repas à vie. Préparez-vous à attendre avant de manger par contre (au moins 1h).
The food was very mediocre. I'm being generous by giving it a passing mark. By Montreal standards, I think it was below acceptable. I had a salade du jardin & onglet de boeuf. I had a mocktail : Menthe-Concombre… underwhelming.
