2e fois : toujours aussi bon & élégant.
Les cocktails & les plats sont top. L'ambiance musicale est 100% française. Zero attente pour nous ce soir. Un repas bouclé en 1h30.
Le soufflé est parfaitement exécuté.
Je recommande si vous chercher un bon français dans le Vieux-Montréal.
1ere fois : Magnifique expérience ! De l'entrée au dessert en passant par les cocktails & recommandations de vin de choix ! Un grand bravo à l'équipe qui nous fait sentir être des princes. Je recommande vivement le profiterole avec son choux maison. Un délice !!
We stayed at the Hotel Bonaparte & decided to dine in for dinner downstairs.
We ordered off the menu a la carté instead of doing the tasting, which also seemed delicious.
Started off with the soup of the day which was a celery & leek soup that they served to us in 2 plates as we were sharing.
For apps we ordered the homemade smoked salmon & the mushroom ravioli, both were so tasty. I'm a bit biased for any dish that has mushrooms & salmon haha.
For mains we shared the scallop delight & one of the specials, which was a hanger steak. You can never go wrong with a buttery scallop & grilled veggies. The steak in it's jus was 👌👌.
For dessert we ordered the chocolate soufflé, which takes about 20mins to prepare. The servers & manager were so accommodating of our baby & even offered to bring us our dessert while we went upstairs to feed our baby. We ended up coming back down & finishing up the soufflé there but it was a nice offer from them.
Ended off the night not being overly full, which is always a great feeling!
10/10 from the staff & kitchen!
10/10 for hospitality
Would come back for the hotel & the restaurant!

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!
Service is excellent & food is great. We really enjoyed the duck leg & duck breast. Chocolate chips soufflé takes 20min so order ahead. Convenient location from the Notre Dame.
This was an incredible fine dining experience. The wine list is a novel. Choosing our meal was hard because everything sounded amazing. We tried the duck breast & beef bourguignon, & they were incredible delicious. Prepared perfectly. The sweet potato puree that came with the duck was very tasty (I wanted much more of that). The only thing that disappointed was the Brussel sprout that came on each of our plates. But dessert more than made up for it. Their dessert cocktails were out of this world & the souffles are really a work of art. Great place for a fancy date night.
My wife loved her multi-course meal-she thought both the food & wine pairings were wonderful. I, however, didn't enjoy it as much. While the cuisine is clearly traditional French, I found the staff unhelpful when I asked for guidance on the menu, & the portions felt small for the price. The food was good but nothing stood out to me-except for the chocolate chip soufflé, which was truly excellent. Perhaps this is simply a matter of taste, but for me, it wasn't worth the cost.
We were expecting far better food based on reviews & a recommendation from the hotel concierge. Both our appetizers & entrees were rather bland. The soufflé was very good. We waited quite a while for our entrees. Our very pleasant waiter actually apologized before we said anything. The restaurant was rather noisy. Not worth the price.

I was in the mood for classic French food. That was exactly what I got. Oh wow, the food was absolutely amazing. If you don't believe me, look at the photos. The interior decor was comfortable & the service was excellent. It was a Monday evening & not crowded at all. I started with a kir to whet my appetite. Then had the shrimp & scallop harmony which was tasteful & beautiful to look at. Of course I had to go with a traditional duck confit which is my go to favorite. A succulent duck leg cooked so slowly with that moist juicy interior & served with the jus. It came with a few vegetables, more for decoration than taste. For dessert I had a glass of ice perry & the calvados souffle. It was huge but so light & airy, truly a stunning creation. The golden-brown crust was crisp & when I bit into the souffle the apple brandy taste just melted on my tongue. I can't wait to visit again.
Stumbled in here on a rainy night & got a table for 2 without a reservation. What a treat! Fantastic service from George, our waiter. Food & wine were excellent, we really enjoyed the wild game terrine. - & if you go here be sure to have the Calvados Soufflé for dessert.
J'ai eu le plaisir d'être invitée par mon fils & son épouse au Bonaparte pour fêter mon anniversaire. C'est avec joie que nous avons été accueillis par Monsieur George dans une ambiance tout à la fois dynamique & harmonieuse. On a le sentiment d'être attendus! Le service professionnel & chaleureux de Simon, son sourire & ses suggestions furent grandement appréciés. Enfin, la cuisine est d'un très haut niveau & le chef propose une carte variée & très goûteuse. À essayer absolument, les raviolis aux champignons & le soufflé au Grand Marnier, un délice pour les papilles. Merci à tous pour cette soirée magique & au plaisir de se revoir bientôt.

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!
We had an amazing dining experience staring from excellent food & delightful interior, to delicious & well prepared food. We had mushroom ravioli & foier grass for starters. Followed with fillet mignon & duck breast, both were really good, but the duck breast definitely stood out. The only thing - we were slightly disappointed in desserts, the profiterole was good, but simple - some chocolate & vanilla ice cream - we were expecting something more. Soufflé with orange - had too alcoholy taste. But, overall I want to highlight amazing service & super b atmosphere
This is a very special place!! I can't think of a better way to spend our last night in Montreal. The atmosphere, food, & service were all extremely elevated! I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Don't skip the souffle for dessert!
Six of us dined at Bonaparte. Our most enjoyable dinner in Montreal. The food was superb, the service by Jilliett - excellent, the ambience - very pleasant. Must finish your meal with the Grande Marnier souffle... very few restaurant even offer it !

Our experience was wonderful. The food was delicious & beautifully plated. Our waiter, Simon, was attentive yet discreet; we were on a timeline & he ensured we left on time. The decor was soothing & pleasant. The Grand Marnier soufflé was magnifique!
Nourriture correcte mais sans plus. Ne mérite clairement pas le prix. J'ai aimé le soufflet qui s'en sort mieux que les plats tout de même. Service courtois, merci au serveur de m'avoir fait goûter leur "vin rouge sans alcool" avant de me le servir, se doutant que ça ne me plairait pas.
This restaurant is something special! First, it is in a beautiful setting with lovely lighting. George our waiter extraordinaire, made our whole evening delightful. Professional & knowledgable he helped on suggestions in the specials & truly seemed to care about our dining experience. He has such joy in his being!! Maxime, the bartender, delivered an excellent Sarah to pair with my veal. & Agile was attentive to clear our plates at just the right moment, never being intrusive or rushing us. The entire staff at this restaurant (& hotel) is beyond wonderful. The best of the best. They appear to truly enjoy their work & their customers. Don't hesitate a moment to come & have a splendid dinner, wonderful wine, super soufflé & mostly an appreciation for a staff that genuinely enjoys what they do.
A great experience at Bonaparte overall. We found the host to be a bit unwelcoming in the beginning, which was odd, but our waiter was outstanding. The food was presented beautifully & tasted delicious. The mushroom ravioli appetizer & duck breast main dish were major highlights for us. The soufflé dessert was tasty & worth the wait as well. One disappointment was that we advised in our reservation that the reason for our visit was our anniversary, but there was no mention of it by the service staff. Not a deal breaker, but why ask if there’s no reason to ask? Merci beaucoup Bonaparte! Highly recommended.
