The ambiance was calming. Mathieu ensured we had a great experience & was very attentive & jovial. The food was delectable & scrumptious if I may say so. The renard duck & the special of the day stood out.
L'ambiance était apaisante. Mathieu s'est assuré que nous passions un excellent moment & s'est montré très attentif & jovial. La nourriture était délicieuse & succulente. Le canard Renard & le plat du jour se sont particulièrement distingués.
A classic & impeccable bistro cuisine. Come ready to delve into the generous menu of french delicacies. I had the veal chop & it was marvelous. Perfectly charred yet juicy & cooked to perfection. Wine selection is great & the staff equally incredible. This place is date quality - so if the purpose is celebratory, bring your significant other for a special occasion. Romantic & elegant.
God bless Canada & Montreal!!

The perfect place , from the host , server (SARA) & the food runners , so friendly, great service, food , atmosphere, design, lighting, looking forward to going back my next visit to Montreal…also it's in a hotel …
An old-world style restaurant with a surprisingly varied menu. Something for everyone, fancy, simple, vegan, gluten-free, & adventurous. Impeccable service, relaxed atmosphere & reasonable prices for a fancy French restaurant.
With a gluten-free dinner they serve a fabulous gluten-free bread. Also, for non drinkers there are a wide selection of mocktails.
It connected with the hotel Bonaparte, which is a boutique hotel.
We just had drinks at the bar here for an hour, but it was pleasant. We stayed at hotel Bonaparte for a weekend, so it was nice to have a high quality restaurant downstairs.
The cocktails were good & the service was quick. Our bartender was quick & professional.
We'd love to come back & try dining here sometime!
J'ai récemment eu le plaisir de dîner dans ce restaurant exceptionnel, & je dois dire que l'expérience a été tout simplement mémorable. Dès l'instant où l'on franchit la porte, on est frappé par l'élégance & le raffinement du lieu. Le décor est somptueux, créant une atmosphère à la fois sophistiquée & chaleureuse.
Le menu est une véritable oeuvre d'art culinaire, avec une sélection de plats tous plus alléchants les uns que les autres. Les ingrédients sont frais & de qualité supérieure, & chaque plat est préparé avec une attention particulière aux détails. La présentation est impeccable, & les saveurs sont tout simplement exquises.
Le service est également irréprochable. Le personnel est attentif, courtois & toujours prêt à répondre à nos besoins. On se sent vraiment pris en charge & choyé. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui recherchent une expérience gastronomique inoubliable. Un solide 10/10 !

We stopped into the bar here for dessert after dinner elsewhere. Theo in the bar was extremely friendly & taking great care with each & every cocktail he created. Made a point to engage us in conversation. Chocolate mousse was delicious- highly recommend.
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! :)

Our favorite restaurant, anywhere. Food is always expertly prepared & served. Our server, Guillaume was really great, personable, & paid very close attention to details...a super guy. Our seating was what we always reserve. Everything about Bonaparte is excellent, maitre'd, lobby personnel (the ladies called for a cab),, everyone. It is no wonder we have been coming back year after year.
