Beyond excellent!! Great atmosphere & extremely friendly staff. The food was superb - highly recommend the profiteroles for dessert. There is a tasting menu or you can order traditionally. Loved everything 10/10!

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.

We stayed at the Hotel Bonaparte & decided to dine in for dinner downstairs.

We ordered off the menu a la carté instead of doing the tasting, which also seemed delicious.

Started off with the soup of the day which was a celery & leek soup that they served to us in 2 plates as we were sharing.

For apps we ordered the homemade smoked salmon & the mushroom ravioli, both were so tasty. I'm a bit biased for any dish that has mushrooms & salmon haha.

For mains we shared the scallop delight & one of the specials, which was a hanger steak. You can never go wrong with a buttery scallop & grilled veggies. The steak in it's jus was 👌👌.

For dessert we ordered the chocolate soufflé, which takes about 20mins to prepare. The servers & manager were so accommodating of our baby & even offered to bring us our dessert while we went upstairs to feed our baby. We ended up coming back down & finishing up the soufflé there but it was a nice offer from them.

Ended off the night not being overly full, which is always a great feeling!

10/10 from the staff & kitchen!

10/10 for hospitality

Would come back for the hotel & the restaurant!

I came to Restaurant Bonaparte to celebrate my partner's birthday & other life events. We were met with lovely staff who made us feel welcome despite our younger age & inexperience with fancier dining. We tried the tasting menu with wine pairing & we're not disappointed. The rabbit & lamb are phenominal, as well as the cheesecake. Would recommend this spot to any couple looking to celebrate over a fantastic dinner.

We had the Tasting Menu which cost $124 per person. The appetizers were average. For main, I ordered the beef filet. It was a big disappointment because the beef lacks flavour & texture. It was not a good cut of meat. My husband ordered the lobster. The dish came with 2 only small pieces of lobsters. The portions size was not consistent with my price we paid. We both felt dissatisfied!

We had the tasting menu & some plates off the a la carte menu. While I appreciate the level of service, the food unfortunately was not up to expectations. The dishes were well thought of but poorly executed in terms of flavour & on occasion on presentation m. Some plates looked too simple & carelessly designed not fit for a fine-dining establishment. I believe they could work on enhancing flavoring of all the dishes.

A truly incredible dining experience. The staff are welcoming, & I appreciate the patience they with us had as my group stumbled through broken French! The meals were amazing, the drinks were amazing & the desserts were… also AMAZING. I'll definitely be back for the tasting menu in the future. I will be recommending Restaurant Bonaparte to anyone & everyone I know that will be visiting Montreal! :)
