Very fancy fine dining place in the heart of westmount. We were there for a Christmas party with work & we had a set menu. Amazing seafood appetizers ranging from Arctic salmon with salmon eggs, some raw tuna thinly sliced & rolled as well as the home made ham. For the main we had a steak & the salmon with lentils. The steak was perfectly cooked & tender. The service was perfect, very attentive & helpful staff. Overall great experience just don't go really hungry since the portions are really small.
We've eaten twice here recently with out-of-town friends, & both times were excellent. The bread was wonderful, with truly great butter. I had a great mushroom velouté, & the halloumi with balsamic & honey glaze was phenomenal. My ravioli was flavorful & delicious, & my husband said his steak was the best one he'd had in several years. & the pavlova was definitely worth leaving room for! The staff were warm & attentive, & the whole evening was great. If you'd like a meal that's a bit of a splurge, I definitely recommend it!
So I'll start with, you should go. I'll get to the food in a sec but as soon as you walk in you feel the warmth. They have a cozy & intimate dining room that's great for a night out with your favourite people. We had the sourdough bread & halloumi starters, which were ok, but for the mains we had the ravioli, rigatoni & the hangar steak. All of them were incredible. The one large ravioli with pockets of ricotta was served al dente, it had the right amount of chew, with a tomato basil sauce which was nice & light. The rigatoni with beef cheek also was served with perfectly al dente pasta in a deeply flavored ragu, which I think sort of tasted like a stroganoff. The pastas were served together first, & then they brought out the hangar steak. Medium rare, with fries that remind you why Montreal is so well known for them, but also with some sort of a glaze or reduction which I didn't know was there until the plate was finished & I scraped up whatever I could with a spoon. In fact, I scraped all three dishes clean using a spoon. This isn't an Italian joint but they need to help me do scarpetta... maybe having that sour dough at the end with the mains so you can mop up the deliciousness on the plates. Service throughout was so kind, unobtrusive but so attentive. Staff accentuated the warm & welcoming vibe of the dining room. I would go back just to be taken care of like that again. I can't wait to go again.
Second time eating here...I always give a resto 2 chances...both times, everything was outstanding...so the first time wasn't a fluke. The food is simple yet delicious, the waitstaff attentive, friendly...probably my favourite resto. Love this place
Quite simply a wonderful dining experience. Attentive, professional service delivered with a very positive attitude. The menu had some unique offerings that were'across the board' delicious. I highly recommend Bistro La Franquette!
Dined for MTL A Table. It is a small place, if you are taller ask for a table with chairs as you will be a lot more comfortable. The two seater booths are made for children. The food is exquisite, the haloumi & sourdough were not to my liking & lacked a punch, but the risotto & creme caramel dessert were flawless. It was probably the best creme caramel I've ever had. Service is attentive.
Went here for my birthday & it's now our new favorite restaurant in Montreal! The food was beyond amazing from start to finish; we had their MTL à la table menu & got to try everything. It was well worth the price! One thing that really stood out was their impeccable service. Everyone was so warm & attentive, it enhanced our dining experience & made my birthday feel even more special. Thank you again & can't wait to come back!!
