We were traveling in Quebec & had been to several other'same level' restaurants, this one for its price range was the most mediocre food & definitely the worst staff. The restaurant decoration was ok-ish.
Definitely the worst money/value we spent for food in Quebec.
Our family goes here for every big occasion. The service & food are always impeccable. Whether sitting by the window overlooking the cobble stone street, or next to the large fireplace, the atmosphere always delivers.

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
I enjoyed of my lamb shank but my friend ordered medium well filet mignon but the meal was well done cooked, she was mot happy with, about wine 🍷 we think the waiter mixed up our order.
Atmosphere is good & almost quiet.
I really enjoyed my experience at Bonaparte restaurant. I felt very welcomed when I arrived. The staff is very warm & attentive. I loved the wine list. Many to choose from.The food was exquisite. I might return a second time. A must try if you visit Montreal. Thank you for a memorable night.
Cheers
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.
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!

One of my favor restaurants in Montreal. Bonaparte is a timeless gem in Old Montreal, offering classic French cuisine in an elegant, candlelit setting. Every dish, from the foie gras to the duck magret, is beautifully prepared & full of flavor. Service is attentive & professional, & the wine list is superb. Perfect for a romantic dinner or special occasion.
Déçue. La laitue dans la salade en entrée était amère. Les pétoncles du plat principal étaient insipides. J'ai demandé de rajouter une sauce pour rehausser le goût. Malheureusement, la sauce était à la vanille, je n'ai pas aimé l'association avec les pétoncles. Mon conjoint a été déçu de la bisque de homard. Il a quand même apprécié le tartare. On nous a apporté la bouteille de vin alors qu'on avait déjà terminé notre entrée. Par contre, la facture est arrivée avant le dessert! Considérant le rapport qualité prix, je n'y retournerai pas.
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
The host that greeted us was great.
The waiter was good starting out & then completely ignored us. He fawned over other tables - I tried to call him over twice … acknowledged me but took care of others.
My partner ordered a drink mid meal & never got it.
I asked a question about an after dinner drink & got a rude response. We requested our check & had dessert & an after dinner drink elsewhere.
As for the Haddock special it was bland & the Haddock was dry. Salt & pepper would have helped but I was almost finished by time the waiter came back.
We normally tip 20-25% but not this time.
Disappointing to say the least.
The macaron withe sparkler was a nice touch but a little too late.

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.
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.
