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.

Indulging in the Lamb Chops at Restaurant Bonaparte - A Taste of Timeless Excellence As I recently dined at Restaurant Bonaparte, I couldn't resist trying their renowned lamb chops, & I must say, it was an experience beyond compare. Since 1983, Restaurant Bonaparte has been celebrated for its exceptional French cuisine, & their lamb chops certainly lived up to the reputation. Cooked to perfection, each bite was a symphony of flavors & textures that danced on my palate. The tender meat, infused with delicate herbs & spices, melted in my mouth, leaving me craving more with every bite.

Sat at the bar & had a superb meal. Great service from start to finish & our plates were perfectly prepared. The Magret de Canard & Jarret d'Agneau were amazing.

If you want high quality & authentic French cuisine, Bonaparte is the place for you! Everything about Bonaparte is 5 star. The staff, the atmosphere & the food exceeded my expectations. We had the foie gras with creme brulee as an appetizer. I have never had foie gras with creme brulee & I was in for a very pleasant & delicious surprise! Our main entrees were the beef tartare & the truffle oil scallops. The cost is a bit pricey but definitely worth every single dollar. I would go back here & highly recommend Bonaparte to anyone who want delicious French food!

Excellent service, personnel professionnel. Par contre, la nourriture laisse à désirer pour le prix payé (nous avons pris le menu dégustation).

Bonaparte's location in the old port centre is part & parcel to the old-world charm. Inside, the restaurant is well-appointed & elegant. Music softly complimented the ambiance. Our food was most delicious: Lobster bisque & onion for starters; entrees included the Boeuf à la bourguignonne (Beef bourguignonne) & Suprême de volaille au brie du Québec fondant, crème de sauge (chicken with brie & sage) with Creme Brule & Napoleon for our desserts. The staff was appropriately attentive, proper, & friendly. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience!

Gorgeous atmosphere & decoración. Good service. I had an excelente house prosecco to drink, & only one dish: magret de canard roti with vegetable crudités. The meat was not bad, not very tasty. The price outrageously expensive, 120 CAD after taxes & tip, about 84 EUR, which buys you an outstanding duck dinner in Toulouse.

Be aware, is this a restaurant for old people. If you enjoy this kinda of vibe & excellent small food this is your place. Expect to expense 279-330 CAD per person
