The interior environment prioritizes a functional, open layout that encourages direct engagement with the brisk pace of kitchen operations.

Review Summary

Au Petit Extra is widely recognized as a classic destination for authentic French cuisine in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its consistently delicious dishes, such as the duck confit, beef tartare, and crème brûlée, as well as an impressive and well-curated wine list. While the majority of visitors experience professional and friendly service, some reviews point to inconsistencies, particularly regarding longer wait times during peak hours or moments when service felt unpolished. The restaurant remains a popular choice for pre-show dining, though guests occasionally advise allowing extra time to ensure a relaxed experience. Although the vast majority of feedback is positive and highlights the restaurant as a long-standing favorite, some diners have noted occasional issues with food preparation, portion sizes, or noise levels when the venue is full.

Nous étions peu nombreux dans le restaurant au moment de notre visite donc pas de table avec beaucoup de personnes, au plus quatre convives… donc ce soir-là pas bruyant du tout & très agréable. C'est un très beau restaurant, belle ambiance.

This French restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere & food that is generally above average. The dining room is comfortable, making it a nice place for a relaxed meal.
For appetizers, we ordered the roast poultry rillettes. For mains, we had the beef cheek & duck confit, & we finished with a crème brûlée for dessert.
Overall, the dishes were well prepared & enjoyable. The beef cheek was tender, the duck confit was nicely cooked, & the crème brûlée was a satisfying way to end the meal. While nothing was particularly groundbreaking, the food was consistently good & the overall experience was very enjoyable.
A solid choice if you're looking for a comfortable French dining experience.

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.
