A must-do in Old Montreal. This cozy French restaurant had charm, warm ambiance, super delicious food, & an amazing staff! The staff were really friendly, fun, & knowledgeable about the menu & drink options. I tried Artic Char for the first time & now it's my absolute new favourite. My husband had duck confit cooked to perfection. The dessert souffle was not only delicious but also a beautiful treat! I highly recommend this restaurant!

We highly recommend duck confit, lamb shank, catch of the day (walleye) & rabbit confit. The terrine & wine was not super impressive but was still good. Service was good & they treated us very well for my birthday. This was the second visit for one of us.
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
It is a very nice & cozy place in Old Montreal. Every morning, we were greeted with a basket of breakfast goodies, & it wasn't the cheap stuff.
The rooms were clean, & the bed was comfortable.
The only downside was the cleaning service, which was available only upon request, & the floors didn't seem particularly clean, likely due to their old parquet style.
The staff were very pleasant & helpful. If you can get a good deal to stay here, I would definitely recommend it.
Nous avions réservé au restaurant Bonaparte suite à une recommandation & avec de grandes attentes. Malheureusement, l'expérience a été mitigée.
La cuisine était bonne & les plats bien exécutés, mais les portions étaient assez petites par rapport au prix. Les tables sont très rapprochées, ce qui enlève beaucoup d'intimité, surtout pour un repas en couple. L'ambiance était plutôt neutre, sans animation ni atmosphère particulière, ce qui rend l'expérience moins mémorable.
Un point très négatif concerne les toilettes des femmes : elles étaient bondées & dégageaient une mauvaise odeur, ce qui est vraiment décevant pour un établissement de ce niveau.
Globalement, c'est correct au niveau de la cuisine, mais je trouve que la réputation du restaurant est un peu exagérée par rapport à l'expérience vécue.
I came to Restaurant Bonaparte to celebrate my partner's birthday & other life events. We were met with lovely staff who made us feel welcome despite our younger age & inexperience with fancier dining. We tried the tasting menu with wine pairing & we're not disappointed. The rabbit & lamb are phenominal, as well as the cheesecake. Would recommend this spot to any couple looking to celebrate over a fantastic dinner.

A six star experience & my favorite dinner in Montreal during this trip .
Bonaparte hit all the marks with their exceptional service & attention to detail .
We made reservations weeks in advance & it is highly recommended to plan accordingly.
We were greeted & taken to our table which was a great location overlooking the outside . Quiet & able to hold a conversation without noise or disruptions making the ideal ambiance.
Bonaparte restaurant style & surroundings take you make to an old school elegance & charm . Dress for the occasion .
Our waiter was amazing . He explained the menus perfectly & made note of a gluten free guest also offering their own gf bread & butter . A must .
Cocktail menu & wine menus were extensive & detailed . We asked to try some local gin based cocktails . He did an amazing job proposing two cocktails that set the tone for the dinner .
Soup of the day was a potato & leek . Simple flavorful & filling . What else does one need ? Together with the delicious breads was a good starter .
Main dish was out of this world . Roasted duck breast cooked to perfection . Prepared with a maple syrup sauce & wild berries (including tart cranberries) which elevated the dish . Vegetables mix balanced the dish . In combination with the herbal cocktail this dish was extraordinarily special .
After dinner digestif menu included some nice choices to wrap up a delightful dinner
Many thanks to the entire staff that made our event so memorable . We will be back again next time we are in Montreal
We enjoyed our meal last evening. Family out of town gather here to have a good French cruise. We got the multi choice menu with wine paring. 4 of us loved our server. He was polite. Friendly. Warm. & great sense of humor. & the smile.....(Matthew I believe was his name)
My only complaint is I find my mushroom ravioli was over cooked. Water down. But overall presentation on every plate was beautiful. Food delish. I would recommend this gem of a place to tourists.
Matthew: I hope u do try my tip. Blue cheese with a dab of honey
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.
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
Je recommande fortement cette place , la nourriture etait succulente , le service etait impeccable. Un restaurant très chic romantique excellent pour les couples .
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%
To be honest, we initially made a reservation here because we wanted to stay close to our hotel, but Bonaparte was the perfect meal to end our honeymoon trip. We both did the tasting menu, & I also added the wine pairing. Everything we tried was delicious & well-portioned. The wines were all well paired & our waitress did a lovely job explaining each match. The service, ambiance, & food were all excellent - I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We would certainly go back.
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.
