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.

One of my few favourite restaurants in Montreal. Everything from the food to the service is A+. Me & my girlfriend have come here many times - the food & service always holds up. My personal favourite dish is the hangar steak. Good job to everybody who works here - keep it up :)

Impossible de dire à quel point leur cuisine est délicieuse. Le plat de mezzaluna, un pur délice. Nous avons eu un service hors-pair!

Came here based on a recommendation by a friend. Did not disappoint! Warm, trendy & inviting atmosphere with impeccable service. The dishes were absolutely next level, packed with perfectly balanced flavours. Try the halloumi entrée & the sea bass! Will absolutely be going back.

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

First time at this restaurant & it was extremely enjoyable. Best dining experience I've had in Montreal this year. The team went out of their way to make sure everything was to our liking & you can tell the place is run by seasoned veterans. Great atmosphere too

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.

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!!

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.

Une cuisine locale raffinée aux techniques parfaitement exécutées. Les assiettes sont généreuses, goûteuses. Ça vaut la peine de casser sa tirelire pour un service complet accompagné d'une carte de vin soigneusement choisie. Une grande attention est portée aux allergies, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus réconfortante. Le service est impeccable.

I recently moved from Montreal, & I can say without hesitation this is the place my partner & I will be missing the most. Renée, Corrine & the whole team are a delight. The food is outstanding & their service is the best you will find in the city. If you want to have a beautiful restaurant experience, this is it.

Un des meilleurs services que j'ai eu dans les dernières années, nous n'avons jamais manqué de rien. La nourriture était excellente, les portions étaient grandes même dans le menu dégustation. À retourner assurément

Bonne table. Service sympathique. Nous avons demandé de ralentir le rythme du repas 4 services puisqu’après 15 minutes, l’apéro, l’amuse-bouche & l’entrée étaient servis…. La demande a été bien entendue & respectée. La cuisine est bonne sans être exceptionnelle.

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.

Bistro Franquette - 374 Victoria near Sherbrooke
Suberb French Bistro cooking - great for take out during Covid. Excellent chefs in the kitchen (Liverpool, Joe Beef, & alums). Small menu with a balanced selection. Check the pantry when you are there for homemade bread, paté de volaille, Quebec cheese, & baskets of local produce. Open only since Nov 2020 Site of the former Lavanderia,. May they live long & prosper. https://www.franquettemtl.com
