About

Au Petit Extra embodies the quintessential spirit of a classic French bistro through a focused menu centered on traditional culinary techniques. Diners encounter a steady rotation of heartier plates that emphasize the preparation of raw protein, most notably represented by signature hand-cut tartares seasoned with precision. The interior environment prioritizes a functional, open layout that encourages direct engagement with the brisk pace of kitchen operations. Culinary execution favors bold, straightforward flavors over complex deconstruction, ensuring that every plate remains consistent with historical bistro standards. The menu relies on the procurement of quality seasonal ingredients to maintain the integrity of its core offerings. This establishment functions as a dedicated hub for those seeking technical proficiency in the preparation of established French classics served within an unpretentious and highly efficient operational setting.

Review Summary

Au Petit Extra is widely recognized as a classic destination for authentic French cuisine, frequently praised for its cozy atmosphere, elegant decor, and standout dishes like duck confit. Many patrons appreciate the high-quality ingredients, professional service, and comprehensive wine list, often describing the experience as a reliable and enjoyable staple in Montreal. While many guests enjoy consistent excellence, some reviews point to inconsistencies in service speed, particularly before shows, and occasional fluctuations in food quality or portion sizes. Despite these mixed experiences regarding pacing and value, the restaurant maintains a strong reputation as a welcoming spot for celebrations and meaningful dining moments.

We loved this restaurant. We are visiting Canada from Ireland & were very happy to have experienced such a nice French-bistro atmosphere & food in Montreal.

J'étais heureuse de trouver un plat qui comprenait les ingrédients (plat végétalien) que je digère.
Malheureusement, mon plat contenait des noix de Grenoble…rances. Le plaisir a donc été assez compromis.J'en ai parlé à la serveuse qui j'espère l'a fait savoir en cuisine.

Expérience impeccable ! Nous avons réservé la salle Le Lionceau pour un événement privé & nous avons bénéficié d'un service personnalisé de A à Z. La responsable, Lara, a fait preuve d'un professionnalisme remarquable : elle a su créer un menu parfaitement adapté à notre budget & le résultat a dépassé nos attentes. La nourriture était excellente, avec une mention spéciale pour le délicieux canard confit & crème brûlée. De plus, l'équipe au service & au bar a été absolument A1 toute la soirée. Je recommande cette belle découverte sans hésitation.

Tout était parfait pour 2 sur 3 d'entre nous (rognons & dorade). Cependant, une personne a été déçue: les légumes farcis n'étaient pas assez relevés au niveau des noix grenobles qui étaient presqu'en poudre au lieu d'être hachées. La texture laissait aussi à désirer pour elle.

Tres beau restaurant, typique d'un restaurant parisien. Decor authentique & soigné.
Belle variété d'entrées, plats & desserts avec des options végétariennes.
Plat goûtus, bien travaillés. Des vins absolument incroyables à un prix tout à fait correct. Le détail est la, les plats sont servis dans des assiettes bien chaudes & joliment présentées. Portion en parfaite quantité & produits de qualité.
Je conseille complètement pour une petite soirée, sans trop de prétention, juste pour passer un bon moment !
