Un restaurant sans pareil. La nourriture était incroyable & le service impeccable. Le menu de dégustation est fort suggéré surtout avec les vins d'accompagnement.
The hotel W hotel concierge recommended this restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. We tried the tasting menu, & it was below average, the flavors just didn't hit the spot. Honestly, it wasn't worth the money. The atmosphere was also just okay, nothing special. Overall, a disappointing experience
My wife & I had the absolute pleasure of visiting this restaurant recently. We were delighted the moment we walked in, to the moment she had her salad & Beef bourguignonne, & I had my Rabbit confit & roasted Duck breast. The desserts as well are also splendid. It goes without saying that when we came to beautiful Montreal to treat our palettes & rest, the experience we enjoyed, as well as the attentive service & atmosphere, was most definitely our highlight. They seem very consistent here & that, I feel, is what sets examples.
Je recommande fortement cette place , la nourriture etait succulente , le service etait impeccable. Un restaurant très chic romantique excellent pour les couples .

I was looking for a nice French restaurant in Montreal & found it with Bonaparte! C'était magnifique & très très délicieuse!! Georges did a great job telling us about the food & wine & greatly appreciated the service. Between the lobster bisque, fois gras, filet mignon, & paired wines from all over, the experience was exquisite.
Le restaurant Bonaparte offre une expérience correcte. L'ambiance est animée, avec beaucoup de monde & d'effervescence, ce qui peut rendre l'endroit bruyant. La nourriture est bonne, bien que je m'attendais à un peu plus. Les soupes & les apéritif sont particulièrement réussies. Le service, bien que courtois, aurait pu être plus clair dans la communication. Dans l'ensemble, une expérience satisfaisante, je donnerais une note de 8/10.
There are two restaurants that are our favorites in Montreal. Those are Bar George & Restaurant Bonaparte. Bar George has been our favorite for the last few years. Our all-time favorite has been closed for more than 10 years & that was known as the Beaver Club. Bar George has tried to kind of make itself similar to that but unfortunately I'm noticing it's a little bit not quite what it used to be. I would have to say our current favorite is Restaurant Bonaparte. It is located in the Napoleon Bonaparte hotel. Where is Bar George is what you'd call British, restaurant Bonaparte is full on French. When you sit here you're in a nice white dining room with crisp white linens. True high-end French dining. For my course I had the filet mignon topped with a nice large lobe of foie gras. It really doesn't get much better than that. There are high-end steakhouses such as Joe Beef etc. the food in those places is excellent but the noise can be very distracting. Add Bonaparte you have the epitome of fine dining. The staff knows your likes & dislikes. You are exceptionally well cared for in that restaurant. It has become our favorite now. Seafood, Steak, Pork & Duck dinners are all wonderfully prepared. The desserts are simply elegant without being over the top. We found the Profiterole to be among the best we've had anywhere. It is a fairly expensive restaurant among the most expensive we were at during our vacation. But this kind of fine quality dining attention to detail does not come cheap.

J'ai passé une soirée à cet endroit pour un 40ième!!! Quel magnifique soirée & un service hors pair!! La nourriture était délicieuse, même les enfants avait un menu spécialement conçu pour eux!!! Je recommande à 1000%
Charming boutique hotel in a great location of Old Montreal. Restaurant & bar are terrific. Staff could not be nicer & more accommodating. Been staying here for over 25 years.
