Review Summary

Across the reviews, Bistro La Franquette comes across as a warm, unpretentious French bistro with a lively yet cozy vibe where the Franquette burger and the onglet de boeuf are consistently praised and the steak frites are often described as the best in the city. The kitchen delivers flavorful, well balanced dishes and a strong wine list, while the desserts regularly win praise. The service is repeatedly cited as friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, with staff going the extra mile and cocktails and seasonal specials earning fans. Some notes point to fries that could be upgraded by using beef tallow or duck fat, occasional small portions, and a few items that did not land with certain diners. Overall the place is seen as a gem and a favorite for a comforting, high quality French Quebecois dining experience, with many reviewers saying they would return soon.

Stopped by this bistro while in Westmount & was so pleasantly surprised with the delicious food, drinks & amazing service. We had the best burger I've ever had in Montreal!!! Tried the cocktail du jour & it was balanced & tasty, & continued with some wine from their impressive wine list. What a hidden gem.
Also.. the decor is beautiful (even the bathrooms!) & it's a perfect space to spend an evening.
Shoutout to Chef Louie & Renée for their hospitality! Can't wait to go back 🤩

Love this place so much! My husband & I frequent here many Wednesdays when they do $1 oysters & $12 martinis. The food is absolutely delicious, with a changing menu full of fresh ingredients. The staff are always so welcoming & friendly (with special shout outs to Kenny & Jennifer, but truly everyone has always been so kind). Their drinks are also amazing, & they often have a specialty pickle-flavored cocktail on the menu - which changes seasonally. My husband & I both have loved every pickle-flavored concoction they've come up with. Even if there isn't a pickle one on the current menu, Jennifer generally will make something delicious up for us. :)

Pour la deuxième fois nous avons eu une expérience fort agréable. Je tiens particulièrement à souligner le service & l'amabilité de Jennifer, elle fait tout pour nous plaire: Elle refroidit le vin à une température parfaite & nous prépare sans hésiter des cocktails parfaits dans un temps record. La nourriture était digne d'une très bonne brasserie française & j'ai pu constater que l'équipe à la cuisine se démenait pour que tout soit délicieux. L'accueil par un grand type Afro-Québécois a été très chaleureux & courtois.

Warm & cozy bistro vibe. Everyone was super friendly - service was above & beyond. While waiting for our table (with our kids) the bar tender whipped us up a couple of custom cocktails. We ordered from both the evening's specials as well as the regular menu. The server helped us choose a good combination of both to get a good feel for the restaurant. Highly recommend for a very chill, very delicious, warm, welcoming restaurant - the perfect spot to warm up & tuck into a comforting French /Quebecois bistro fare. Cant wait to come back!

10 out of 10!! The service, the food, the wine & the cocktails - everything was perfect! I really had no expectations going to La Franquette & now it's one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal! Love the cozy atmosphere too.

Went there for our 3 year anniversary. Was our first time there & could not rave more about it. A really friendly, warm & cozy atmosphere. The food & cocktails were delicious. We highly recommend!

I went here for mtl a table (83$). While the restaurant is charming & the service was above average, I am not super thrilled with my experience. Most of the cocktails were over 20$, which is puzzling when looking at the ingredient list. The portions were minuscule & my 3 slices of steak were tragically underseasoned (I asked for salt but still...) the creme caramel, while delicious, would have been better had the caramel not been burnt & the slice of carrot cake we got was comically small. The final slap in the face was the credit card machine having 18% as the first tip option. Restaurants need to stop doing this... it puts a bad taste in the customer's mouth no matter how well their evening went. In conclusion, I felt like this restaurant was trying to squeeze every penny out of me with the highest priced mtl a table menu, stingy portions & suggested 18% tip minimum.

We don't normally venture this far from our own part of the city (Rosemont/Plateau) to go out for a meal because we are spoiled with options around there - but we are SO glad we came to La Franquette for MTL a Table. The service was top notch, the space is chic & calm, & the food was truly unforgettable & generously portioned. The highlights were the cocktails, the homemade halloumi, the risotto (which I usually hate!!!), &.. ok the whole meal. Thank you! We will definitely be back.
