It was a wonderful experience! We ordered the course menu, & every single dish was delicious. The entire staff was friendly & attentive, & we had a fantastic time.

It was a Sunday evening & our last night in Montreal & all that we wanted was to grab a glass of wine before turning in for the night. We tried other places, & while they were still quite busy, they wouldn't take other guests despite us only wanting one beverage & we're much older! (We would have been out of there long before the other groups finished!)

We stopped at Bonaparte, & despite them winding down, Fredrick was so welcoming, kind & accommodating, that he was gladly willing to put us each a glass of wine. We were conscientious of their schedule & closed out our tab ASAP, & all throughout, Frederick was gracious & shared his amazing customer service skills with us. We didn't take advantage, yet appreciated that when all we wanted was 1 glass of wine, & others were still dining, that he allowed us to enjoy our final night in Montreal. Thank you so very much, Frederick. We will seriously plan to stay at your hotel next time based on how welcoming you were to us! 🤗

Excellent service & atmosphere. Food is mediocre. Ordered these dishes:
- smoked salmon
- soup of day (carrot & squash)
- mushroom ravioli
- lobster bisque
- onion soup
- salmon entree
- tofu entree

The first three were solid. The rest were thrash. The lobster bisque tasted like the lobster wasn't cleanly cooked. It smelled bad & didn't have flavor. The onion soup wasn't bad, but not good either. The salmon was completely overcooked & lacked flavor. The tofu itself was prepared poorly but the vegetables that came with it tasted fine.

Honestly for the price I was expecting a lot better-tasting French food.

Our 6th anniversary dinner at Bonaparte was nothing short of magical & perfect!

Six years ago to the day, during our honeymoon, (& during Covid) we celebrated at Bonaparte. This year, we returned & were incredibly touched to be seated at the very same table, where we even recreated our honeymoon photo. It made for an unforgettable evening.

A heartfelt thank you to George, whose genuine happiness for us was so sincere & contagious. His warmth, kindness, & generosity truly elevated the evening. The complimentary champagne toast he shared with us was an unexpected & deeply appreciated gesture that we'll never forget.

Our wonderful server, Sarah, was absolutely exceptional. Professional, attentive, gracious, & genuinely caring, she made every detail feel effortless & perfect.

The cuisine was, as always, world-class. Ruby's mushroom ravioli & leek & celery soup were outstanding, while my Filet Rossini & onion soup, paired with outstanding libations was simply perfection. We finished with the chocolate chip soufflé, which was the perfect ending to an extraordinary meal, the evening was truly a perfect 10 out of 10!

From the warm welcome at the front of the house to the talented culinary team behind the scenes, every member of the Bonaparte family made us feel celebrated & cared for, like their own family. Their hospitality, professionalism, & genuine kindness created memories we'll treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you, George, for your kindness & superb leadership. Thank you, Sarah, & the entire Bonaparte team, for making our anniversary so incredibly special. We left with full hearts, grateful spirits, & every reason to return again & again.

Merci beaucoup, Bonaparte!

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.

I'm not used to great food being from ontario. Had a 3 course package. Every course was outstanding & I am hard to please.
