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.
Old school classic French bistro with all the classic dishes you'd expect.
Very friendly staff, & good ambiance, it gets busy if there's a show nearby so I would recommend to reserve a table.
We had the fish soup with croutons & rouille, & the fish with green pepper sauce, it was great.
The Paris Brest for dessert was delicious. The wine list has plenty of interesting selections at average prices.
This place has been around for years for good reasons.
Service exceptionnel! Je suis venu avec un ami qui est des Etats-Unis. Il a tombé en amour avec la decoration & l'ambiance (ca lui rappelle de Paris!). Les serveurs étaient respectueux, amicable & patient. La nourriture était excellent!

Food was excellent, only comment was the firtes could have been crispier. Service should be 4.5 as our wine was slow to arrive but an excellent & entertaining waiter. We'll be back soon.
très bon bistrot français. Nourriture délicieuse & de qualité. Bon restaurant pour ce coin de Montréal où il peut être difficile de trouver quelque chose de plus recherché.

Tout était succulent & le service impeccable. Le vin rouge était un peu plus chaud qu'à l'habitude mais le serveur nous a offert de le changer. La cuisson de la viande était parfait er le poisson délicieux.
Au petit extra est désormais mon resto préféré ! Le service y est professionnel & chaleureux, les serveurs portent tous le même uniforme, ce que j'apprécie beaucoup, ils sont fort accueillants & pleins d'esprit, j'adore ! & la nourriture est toujours tellement délicieuse ! Vos grands classiques, même s'ils portent ce nom, ne sont pas blasants, ni juste réconfortants : ils sont toujours surprenants ! J'adore l'ambiance & le décor du resto. Seul bémol : il est trop loin de chez moi pour que j'y aille plus souvent...
