Review Summary

Across the reviews, Bistro La Franquette is portrayed as a beloved neighbourhood spot where the food is consistently excellent, with hanger steak and steak frites singled out as standouts, along with a well received burger, oyster specials, halloumi to start, and a French onion soup; portions are generous and flavors refined, and desserts are often highlighted as a must. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as intimate, chic, cozy, warm, and unpretentious, making it a great choice for dates or groups, with a vibe that blends lively energy with comfortable dining. Service is generally attentive and knowledgeable, and staff reception is noted as friendly, though a few reviews mention moments of rushed service or room for improvement in drink explanations and tempo. The wine list is impressive and approachable, with some notes on value, and reservations are recommended. Overall, Bistro La Franquette comes across as a standout local French bistro known for consistent quality, welcoming hospitality, and an inviting ambiance that keeps guests returning.

Franquette quickly became my favourite restaurant when they opened 5 years ago & they still never disappoint. I've never had a bad meal there & everyone I have ever recommended it to has absolutely loved it. My accountant even emailed me mid-meal to thank me for the recommendation because he & his wife were enjoying themselves so much!
The staff are all exceptionally friendly & knowledgeable. The kitchen staff & especially their pastry chef are extremely talented & it's usually hard to pick whether the main meal or the dessert was better (pro tip: never skip dessert here!).
Do yourselves a favour & make a reservation for lunch or dinner, you won't be disappointed!!

Vraiment sûr côté, merci aux réseaux sociaux. Prix prohibitifs, 200$ pour un repas sans vin , sans dessert c est juste exagéré. Si encore à ce prix l expérience était extraordinaire, mais ce faire sévir par des serveuses en crocs a ce tarif c est impensable. La nourriture n a rien de particulier, voir même pas terrible. Je ne recommande vraiment pas, encore une belle escroquerie. Sans oublier le tip de 18% car le 15% n h est plus.

Totally on point! Excellent service, fabulous family feeling ambience, tremendous food from start to finish. We ate everything...we are still here & if they would let me, I would have a nap (chairs & banquettes are super comfy) & order more fries in an hour ...& probably more cod...& the dessert! I'll be back sooner than later! Cheers to Reneé & Louie, we can taste the love & passion in every detail of our meal ❤️

Finally making a point of adding this review after countless meals that were absolutely superb. Louie & Renee know exactly what they're doing & they do it so well. If you are looking for an unpretentious vibe with great music, where you will simultaneously be blown away by unique & truly delicious food - Franquette is your answer. Gorgeous wine choices, insane desserts, & a menu that has never once let me down! That's why I keep going back.

Great experience! Hangar steak is unmatched, very good wines by the glass (including dessert wines!), & service is on-point

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.

Food is ridiculously good, the ravioli is so good it's hard not to lick the plate. My wife had sea bass & said the same, then we shared a dessert which we both regretted sharing.
