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.
Le Petit Extra est une véritable perle pour les amateurs de cuisine française. Les plats sont préparés avec des ingrédients frais & de saison, ce qui se ressent dans chaque bouchée. La carte des vins est tout simplement incroyable, avec une sélection soignée qui accompagne parfaitement les mets. Un endroit où l'on se régale à coup sûr, à recommander sans hésitation !
Très belle expérience. Cuisine excellente, je recommande l'onglet de boeuf. Service courtois, ambiance relax. Vraiment parfait pour un souper en couple.
Recommended by my French friend, food was good, a bit too salty, had to drink a lot of water afterwards, while the ambiance was pleasant. Noah was attentive, friendly, & made sure we had everything we need. He definitely enhanced our overall dining experience.

Un classique ! Indémodable & toujours pertinent. Les prix des plats sont encore abordables, le service est précis sans trop appuyé. Excellente cuisine.
Subpar service. No one welcomed us invitingly. No explanation of menu. No one asks if food is ok. No attention to customers. Food quality ok. Price ok. Would not return. DEFINITELY not 4.5, not 4. 4.5 is for something at the top of Mtl haute cuisine. This is FAR from it. Maybe the other reviewers haven't actually dined at the top restaurants? Maybe it's a post-pandemic pent-up happiness to dine out? Still, it's crazy to give an avg of 4.5 for this place.
Trop cher pour les plats servis. Tarte citron trop acide. Excellent service mais beaucoup de retard en cuisine. On nous a offert un digestif sans frais pour se faire excuser ce qui a été apprécié. Peut être juste tombé sur le mauvais soir.

J'y suis allé un midi dans le cadre d'un diner d'affaire, le cadre est charmant, le service attentionné & la musique ravira les amateur de chansons française des années 60-70. Le velouté réconforte, l'onglet de boeuf AAA, sauce à l'échalote, servi avec frites & salade est un délice. Il va falloir y retourner pour un souper.
Good restaurant, but nothing more. As part of the Montreal en lumière festival, a chef from Lyon (Laurent Bouvier) prepared the menu. The result was a little disappointing for the quality of the dishes & the price. The chèvre chaud was excellent, however, the rosette de lyon appetizer (15 paper-thick slices for $16) was a total steal (about $1-2 max of sausage for a commercial supermarket type sausage).We don't think we'll be visiting this restaurant in Lyon the next time we go there.
