Review Summary

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.

Lovely experience. Excellent service & authentic French cuisine. Duck confit & tender gizzards were on point

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.

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).

Found this on a whim while we were on our way to Quebec City. We got the duck confit, lamb shank, & crème brûlée for dessert. Service was impeccable with the host making sure that we were taken care of. I am rating the duck confit about 4.5/5 as it was a bit drier than expected but the flavour was on point. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone & would definitely visit again. Merci bcp!

Super belle première expérience à cet endroit. Nous avions un spectacle au cabaret le lion d'or par la suite. L'entrée de foie-gras de canard est délicieuse. Les repas de canard confit & le jaret d'agneau sont excellents. Leurs déserts sont aussi très bon. Le serveur nous a proposé un très bon vin qui s'accordait avec nos deux repas. Le repas qualité prix est bon.

L'ambiance bistro français rend l'environnement chic & confortable.

Menu classique mais inintéressant, exécution très moyenne, rognons manquants de tendreté & canard confit sec, service courtois mais avec de l'attente & des maladresses.

Ambiance qui rappelle les brasseries française: tres agréable! Le service était attentionné & chaleureux. J'ai pris le saumon, mon conjoint le confit de canard. C'était bon & je n'ai rien à redire sur les cuissons: top. En revanche, il y a une faiblesse sur l'accompagnement, il manque clairement de générosité. Le saumon est accompagné de 4 lamelles très fines de pdt, ça fait cheap & ça manque de gourmandise! Le confit est posé sur beaucoup trop de salade vs les quelques grenailles de pdt a coté... Au vu du prix excessif de ce genre d'endroit (payer presque 100$ pour deux plats, sans verre de vin & un café le midi...un peu too much) ce n'est pas trop demander un peu plus de générosité de ce côté là. Il y a donc, je trouve, un décalage entre la vraie brasserie française de style bistrot qui se veut généreuse & autant abordable pour les gens d'affaire, les familles ou encore les artistes, car ce sont des plats classiques & traditionnels & l'image que veut renvoyer ce restaurant. C'est dommage.

We arrived & were seated promptly.
The ambiance was lovely with white tablecloths our server was nice. The food, the oysters were delicious, the duck confit & the duck magret were outstanding. The cod was beautifully prepared. We had the crème brûlée, the tart Tatin & the Paris Brest. All accompanied with a fantastic bottle of Bordeaux.
Will be back next time I return to Montreal.

The duck confit was a little dry but overall the food was good. My companions enjoyed their meals. Tea is much easier to make than coffee. What is essential is boiling water & loose or bagged tea leaves. My tea was was made with water that was not hot enough so the tea did not infuse. Please encourage your staff to make good tea! Ce n'est pas sorcier!
