Review Summary

Bonaparte is described across reviews as a refined Old Montreal destination for classic French cuisine, offering a romantic candlelit atmosphere and attentive, professional service. The menu shines with dishes such as duck confit, duck breast with maple syrup and wild berries, lamb shank, beef bourguignon, veal chop, and foie gras, with standout lobster bisque and desserts like profiteroles and chocolate mousse, all complemented by a superb wine list and thoughtfully paired tasting menus that many guests consider well worth the splurge. The setting is consistently praised for elegance, a quiet, intimate ambiance, and old world charm, making it ideal for special occasions and romantic dinners. While some guests note price considerations and occasional delays or variability in seasoning, the prevailing impression is that Bonaparte delivers excellent food, memorable service, and a standout Montreal dining experience that keeps visitors returning.

Our experience was wonderful. The food was delicious & beautifully plated. Our waiter, Simon, was attentive yet discreet; we were on a timeline & he ensured we left on time. The decor was soothing & pleasant. The Grand Marnier soufflé was magnifique!

It was a wonderful experience! No wonder it is the best restaurant in Montréal. I loved almost everything. Dress something nice, you will feel like a King/Queen. It took us about 1hr & 40mins to complete the tasting menu. First of all, the atmosphere was beautiful. The music, the walls, the tables, the menu, & the plating went very well together. The Christmas tree was beautifully decorated with dried cirtus. I had to take pictures up close. Servers were very professional & attentive. It was a busy night, but they all had a smile on their face & looked very happy working there. Clumsy me, I dropped the butter knife as soon as I got to my seat. I was so embarrassed, but the servers replaced it right away without us asking or getting their attention. Now, the food, we tried the tasting menu, & it was an awesome choice. My husband & I ordered different things & shared them. Salad & lobster bisque - both were great choices; Salmon was no doubt, Duck Foie Gras Crème Brûlée was not for my taste, but I was glad that I tried it; mushroom ravioli was so wonderful, rabbit confit was not my style but again, l loved that I tried it; pear sorbet cleansed my pallet well (but was too boozy for me); roasted duck was heavenly & was the highlight of my meal (got it medium) & lamb was also heavenly (medium as well); tea (gave me a whole pot, loved it) & coffee; cheese option was really great & Pastry was is the only plate I couldn't finish. We didn't take the wine pairing option. We ordered drinks separately. Overall we were very satisfied. Highly recommend to try.

This restaurant is something special! First, it is in a beautiful setting with lovely lighting. George our waiter extraordinaire, made our whole evening delightful. Professional & knowledgable he helped on suggestions in the specials & truly seemed to care about our dining experience. He has such joy in his being!! Maxime, the bartender, delivered an excellent Sarah to pair with my veal. & Agile was attentive to clear our plates at just the right moment, never being intrusive or rushing us. The entire staff at this restaurant (& hotel) is beyond wonderful. The best of the best. They appear to truly enjoy their work & their customers. Don't hesitate a moment to come & have a splendid dinner, wonderful wine, super soufflé & mostly an appreciation for a staff that genuinely enjoys what they do.

We wanted to treat ourselves, so we went to Bonaparte & ordered the tasting menu. A little bit of everything for $124 each!

The staff were very attentive. I enjoyed the service very much. The food was also very good... but not to the level I would have expected for paying so much. The presentation was beautifulbut in some cases, the flavor was just okay.

In the end, I enjoyed the time with my wife. It was worth doing (once every 5 years or so... lol)
