Bistro La Franquette offre une expérience globale chaleureuse et conviviale avec une cuisine française bien exécutée, où des plats comme le hanger steak et les frites ou l'onglet de boeuf sont cuits à la perfection et accompagnés de portions généreuses et d'un vin bien choisi. Le service est généralement attentif et courtois, même si le rythme peut parfois paraître expéditif et que certains plats arrivent en vitesse. L'ambiance est cosy et intime, le décor et l'éclairage contribuant à une atmosphère agréable, idéale pour un rendez-vous ou une soirée entre amis. Le rapport qualité prix est souvent salué et la carte, bien que parfois réduite, permet de revenir régulièrement sans se lasser. Dans l'ensemble, les expériences décrites évoquent une adresse fiable et chaleureuse où la qualité des plats et l'attention du service font souvent la différence.
Bistro La Franquette has a really nice atmosphere - cozy, lively, & a great spot for a night out. The food was excellent. I had the hanger steak with fries & red wine reduction sauce, & it was outstanding. Perfectly cooked, full of flavour, & the fries were some of the best I've ever had.
The oyster special is also a must - fresh & a great add-on to the meal.
A couple of small notes: the music could have been a bit louder to really match the energy of the room, & the drink experience wasn't quite at the same level as the food. Our waiter could have taken a bit more time to explain the drink options, & the margarita we ordered wasn't our favourite.
That said, the food & overall vibe more than make up for it, & I would absolutely go back.
Bistro la Franquette is my favourite restaurant in Montreal. The onglet de boeuf is the best steak you'll get in Montreal, much better than any other'fancy' steakhouse. The staff is amazing, & they'll make your experience unforgettable. Couldn't recommend enough!

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!!
Bistro La Franquette is easily by far my favourite restaurant in the city. The service & food is always excellent without a doubt. The Staff is made up of genuine people who make the experience delightful & special. The food never misses. I was amazed by their Pate en croute. Highly recommend visiting this place with friends or family.
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

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 :)
