Le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, avec une équipe accueillante et connaissant bien le menu et les accords vins.

Bonaparte is consistently a great experience. The service is always top notch & feels like such a luxury. My favorite dishes are the vanilla shrimp & scallops, the brie chicken entrée, & the profiteroles for dessert. They also have amazing French fries & cocktails.
Wonderful experience catered by a professional staff, the menu although being very stable, has had a rework in how the plates are served. Some great discoveries with their new dishes, overall eating at this restaurant is a very pleasant experience. The setting is a quaint dining room in old Montreal, white aesthetics & quiet.
Attention to detail is unique & precise, if you want to treat yourself & your loved ones I recommend the restaurant Bonaparte! In the area you will find the old port of Montreal, a theatre, group activities, on top of being great, it has amazing things around it

Good experience overall, however for the price, none of the dishes were impressive, some of them were either too sweet or missing salt. Service was great, & decor beautiful but the whole place smelled like seafood.
Restaurant Bonaparte is nice but unremarkable-nothing I ate was offensive, but nothing really impressed me.
Cocktail options are fun, & the cream of mushroom soup was very good. The plating on the entrees seemed a little tacky & unrefined. The lamb was well cooked & had good texture, though lacked flavor to me, & the chicken with brie similarly tasted like… chicken & brie, & nothing else. The duck was pretty good though in a very sweet sauce.
The desserts were standard, the chocolate mousse was a little disappointing as it didnt taste like they used real chocolate in it as opposed to powder, & was simply piped into a bowl.
The interior ambiance is very nice, & the service was good. While I think the food here is good, I believe there are better options around both for flavor & presentation of dishes
Amazing 5-course degustation menu with beautifully crafted dishes. The atmosphere is charming, quiet, & welcoming, & the staff are absolutely lovely. I've been here a couple of times & will definitely be back again!
Lovely restaurant with classic dishes prepared perfectly. Located just steps away from the theatre & Notre Dame Cathedral, Restaurant Bonaparte is the perfect dinner venue before your shows.
We had a quick dinner before AURA, a lovely projection mapping spectacle at the cathedral & were so glad we picked Restaurant Bonaparte. Service was incredibly quick & attentive. We're looking forward to returning the next time we're in Montreal.

We had the tasting menu & some plates off the a la carte menu. While I appreciate the level of service, the food unfortunately was not up to expectations. The dishes were well thought of but poorly executed in terms of flavour & on occasion on presentation m. Some plates looked too simple & carelessly designed not fit for a fine-dining establishment. I believe they could work on enhancing flavoring of all the dishes.
Delicious restaurant in the heart of old Montreal! They offer excellent wine selection & a great menu choice! They also offer a tasting menu so you get to experience the best dishes of the restaurant (6 service). We tried their special MTLaTable promotion which was a 4 course meal & it was great! It allowed us to discover this restaurant & we would come back again in the future to try out more dishes!
Had dinner with friends for our first try in this restaurant, tried the MTL à table menu($80 per person)plus a glass of wine. Here's my opinion for your reference: -Environment: it's ok, nothing too fancy or too bad, overall ambiance is good; -Food taste: in all four courses, only the Phyllo wrapped rabbit confit was delicious, the rest were not up to high-end restaurant standard at all. Ask anyone who studies cuisine or have been to good restaurants: this display(main course) is a disaster! & the taste...frankly I think some supermarket cooked food would taste better than this. Veal flank was too chewy, beef tastes bloody, & the chicken breasts were hard & dry as rock. -Service: they're attentive, appreciate their effort in pouring water or placing utensils for us, but it'd be safer if they tell us before handing the water over shoulders. -Hygiene: I did not like the fact that they're cutting bread in the hallway's counter, without any disinfectant or gloves, they just touch the bread like that after touching dishes & pos machine & god knows where... also I saw a waiter coughed in his sleeve & then continue cutting the bread like it's ok as long as his cough wasn't towards the bread... Overall I DO NOT recommend this restaurant, as their price does not match with their food quality & taste. Time to hire new chefs if this is your standard for $100+ meals.
Excellent restaurant, very good atmosphere, impeccable service, very knowledgeable & attentive waiters with a great smile! Not noisy at all. Nice white tablecloths, comfortable chairs.The tables are nicely spaced out. Very nice background music. Montreal should have more restaurants like that. The food is excellent. We were 4 people & ordered different choices & they were all great! The dishes decorated with a big taste & with so many details. Rare find. I would recommend it 100%.

This had to be one of the BEST dining experiences I have ever had. My husband & I did the tasting menu. We each ordered something different, so in total we both got to try 10 dishes. They were all amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the food, it was next level good! The restaurant itself is beautiful & the service was great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant & encourage everyone to try the tasting menu.
I went there twice in a row. It's an amazing restaurant! A hidden gem if you may. The meat dishes are delicious & tender. The duck breast & the lamb rack are heavenly. I'm going for a third time tomorrow! Oh yes it's not cheap but worth every penny! Same premium service & food as Vegas 5 star hotel restaurants but just half of the price! Worth it!
Excellent dining experience. We enjoyed many delicious courses & the wine pairing was fantastic. The service was also great, & the staff were very friendly & explained all of the dishes & wines. They even give you a sealed copy of the menu to take as a nice souvenir!
Phenomenal attention to service & truly 5 star experience. Wide variety of dishes with a unique twist. Highly recommend the duck breast with blueberries & maple syrup, as well as the rabit confit phyllo.

We always have a good time dining at Bonaparte! Food & service were top notch! The servers are extremely friendly & attentive! We were a group of 7 this time, we ordered different dishes & everything was delicious!! The seared foie gras with crème brûlée were so flavourful, it melted in my mouth! The mushroom ravioli with truffle were fresh & creamy! The pan seared scallops were cooked perfectly, the tastes blended so well with the oyster mushrooms! The duck, the steak & the rack of lamb were also cooked to perfection! I loved my dessert, soufflé with grand marnier, every bite is heaven!! We will definitely come back again & again!
Their Google review rating is accurate. Success is not an accident here. Great food, well-presented dishes, friendly & professional staff, & a great atmosphere.
Five star for sure from the drink list to the French dishes & for the very professional friendly staff I ordered rainbow trout , 🤤 creamy crispy outside & juicy,sweet meat inside. Highly recommend
we were lucky to get reservations on two evenings & the food & service were excellent. Wonderful flavors & accompaniments to the dishes. A very wide variety of meat, fish, & game with excellent wines by the glass. On the second evening, the manager sat us at a beautiful window seat so we could see Montreal at night. Highly recommended!
What a disappointment. We came here to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary because they are "known for special occasions." To begin with, the food was quite flavorless & extremely overpriced. The onion soup had almost no flavor & tasted like they put some onions in broth. Their "specialty" lobster bisque wasn't much better. The mushroom ravioli was quite good. From there, the dishes were completely underwhelming, especially at $50 price points. Then came the theatrics. The manager decided it best to berate our waitress in front of the entire dining room & basically right next to our table. The entire night we saw them bringing sparklers with plates of desserts to every table, but absolutely nothing to celebrate the 50th anniversary (the manager wished them a happy 50th as we walked in, so it's not like he didn't know). When we mentioned it to our server, the staff brought out an embarrassment of a square of cheesecake that was thrown on our table after we had finished all of our food. The only saving grace was our server, Genevieve, who was absolutely wonderful. Upon leaving, we also noticed how dirty the lobby was with fully formed spider webs above the front desk. Eat here at your own risk.
