For a relaxing, romantic fine dining experience, definitely make reservations. Restaurant Bonaparte is truly a stand-out in Montreal restaurants in terms of food, atmosphere, & service & is in one of our favorite memories in Montreal. We were seated by the window which was lovely. The cocktail list had so many interesting & delicious sounding cocktails that it was hard to choose. Each came with a card with a painting of a partially clothed woman & description of the cocktail. I got the Ah! Camomille which had a lovely base of chamomile flavor with honey & floral flavors. It went well with the lobster.
Our waiter took excellent care of us. Even with two other tables with one larger group of four or five, our conversation could be easily heard.
We had such a lovely dinner & relaxing experience, my husband even ordered an after dinner coffee, which he never does. We will definitely return the next time we are in Montreal.

Une si belle soirée! Décor bistro français haut de gamme tres réussi, les salles de bain font penser à une luxueuse maison close :)
Beaucoup de choix au menu & tout était absolument savoureux. Nous avons eu un service qui se démarque, tout aussi professionnel que chaleureux, merci à Catherine. À bientôt!
En temps normal il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner'en salle'.
Le petit déjeuner est servi dans un petit panier accroché près de la porte de la chambre. On ne va pas se mentir...c'est plus un en-cas qu'un vrai petit déjeuner.
& la machine à café dans la chambre est rudimentaire.....Pas pour amateurs de bons cafés.
C'est notre principal point négatif.
A côté de ça chambres OK, litterie confortable & le personnel est juste ADORABLE/BIENVEILLANT/GENTIL!!
Catherine was excellent, she gauged our speed, to make the whole experience wonderful. The tasting menu met all our expectations. See you again, soon! Merci
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.
