The seared duck breast with berry sauce was easily the best thing I ate all day, but honestly, I am still the main event. I am sharp, fun, & clearly have great taste. If you are a smart, cute guy, you should reach out before someone else beats you to it.

The menu is genuinely delicious. I ordered the duck & was very happy with my choice. The prices are above average, but the quality of the food & the overall menu definitely justify the cost. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a great dining experience.

We went here at the recommend of our friendly. We opted for the tasting.

The best dishes that we would order again were mushroom ravioli & duck breast. Everything else was quite disappointing. Lobster bisque. Lobster vanilla. Foie gras. Etc. overall the dishes were slightly under seasoned & under flavored. lacked the richness & nuance of French cuisine. Overall food was three stars.

The quantity of food was adequate. If you are a normal size male then you probably won't come out full. Though they serve the same dishes from their à la carte menu the portions are quite a bit smaller. The number of course doesn't make up for the portion size. So just heads up.

Service was attentive & friendly. Definitely five stars there.

A must-do in Old Montreal. This cozy French restaurant had charm, warm ambiance, super delicious food, & an amazing staff! The staff were really friendly, fun, & knowledgeable about the menu & drink options. I tried Artic Char for the first time & now it's my absolute new favourite. My husband had duck confit cooked to perfection. The dessert souffle was not only delicious but also a beautiful treat! I highly recommend this restaurant!

We highly recommend duck confit, lamb shank, catch of the day (walleye) & rabbit confit. The terrine & wine was not super impressive but was still good. Service was good & they treated us very well for my birthday. This was the second visit for one of us.

Restaurant Bonaparte is nice but unremarkable-nothing I ate was offensive, but nothing really impressed me.

Cocktail options are fun, & the cream of mushroom soup was very good. The plating on the entrees seemed a little tacky & unrefined. The lamb was well cooked & had good texture, though lacked flavor to me, & the chicken with brie similarly tasted like… chicken & brie, & nothing else. The duck was pretty good though in a very sweet sauce.

The desserts were standard, the chocolate mousse was a little disappointing as it didnt taste like they used real chocolate in it as opposed to powder, & was simply piped into a bowl.

The interior ambiance is very nice, & the service was good. While I think the food here is good, I believe there are better options around both for flavor & presentation of dishes

Service is excellent & food is great. We really enjoyed the duck leg & duck breast. Chocolate chips soufflé takes 20min so order ahead. Convenient location from the Notre Dame.

A six star experience & my favorite dinner in Montreal during this trip .

Bonaparte hit all the marks with their exceptional service & attention to detail .

We made reservations weeks in advance & it is highly recommended to plan accordingly.

We were greeted & taken to our table which was a great location overlooking the outside . Quiet & able to hold a conversation without noise or disruptions making the ideal ambiance.

Bonaparte restaurant style & surroundings take you make to an old school elegance & charm . Dress for the occasion .

Our waiter was amazing . He explained the menus perfectly & made note of a gluten free guest also offering their own gf bread & butter . A must .

Cocktail menu & wine menus were extensive & detailed . We asked to try some local gin based cocktails . He did an amazing job proposing two cocktails that set the tone for the dinner .

Soup of the day was a potato & leek . Simple flavorful & filling . What else does one need ? Together with the delicious breads was a good starter .

Main dish was out of this world . Roasted duck breast cooked to perfection . Prepared with a maple syrup sauce & wild berries (including tart cranberries) which elevated the dish . Vegetables mix balanced the dish . In combination with the herbal cocktail this dish was extraordinarily special .

After dinner digestif menu included some nice choices to wrap up a delightful dinner

Many thanks to the entire staff that made our event so memorable . We will be back again next time we are in Montreal
