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.

Excellent classic French resto … I just wish they would name after Louis XV who loved his people so that he entrenched French language rights for Quebec … while Bonaparte sold off the people of Louisiana'à la vache'

Nous sommes venus mon mari & moi avec des amis avant les fêtes de fin d'année.
Le service a été très long, la nourriture est bonne mais peu généreuse compte tenu du prix.
Notre passage au bar a été un vrai bonheur: Théo le jeune barman, est rapide, précis, sympathique & très intéressant. Nous avons pu discuter avec lui de façon très agréable.
L'expérience du restaurant sans être négative est un peu décevante, cependant, ce passage au bar a réellement illuminé notre soirée!

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.

Geweldig restaurant, vriendelijke ontvangst. Druk,maar ze geven iedereen persoonlijke aandacht. Eten is van topklasse! Frans/Europese invloed is een welkome verassing.

Nous y avons mangé pour le repas du réveillon de Noël. Le cadre du restaurant est superbe, calme, tamisé avec un joli sapin de Noël.
La cuisine est très bonne, digne d'un repas de Noël. Sauf la salade qui était très basique & peu copieuse… Gros point fort : le personnel est au petit soin pour répondre à vos questions.
Le petit bémol était l'attente, entre chaque service nous attendions entre 25 & 45 minutes, c'était un peu long…alors que la table d'à côté était servie bien plus rapidement.

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

Simply perfect. Every element of the meal with wine pairing was exceptional. One of the best meals I've had in my life!

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.

Nous avons dîné hier soir pour célébrer les fêtes avec mon équipe au bureau. Tout le monde a adoré ses plats. Les assiettes étaient chaudes, la présentation très professionnelle, & la saveur était au rendez-vous!
Nous avons été bien servi par Frédéric, j'ai pris les raviolis aux champignons qui étaient tout simplement exceptionnels pour poursuivre avec un très bon magret de canard.
Belle découverte!

Restaurant de cuisine française très classique. Si on sait à quoi s'attendre, on ne peut pas être déçu, ni surpris.

A really disappointing experience for the price. Over 500 dollars for the two of us
Mediocre service, & the food was lacking in flavour.
I was expecting a lot more

I had been looking forward to trying Bonaparte for quite some time, especially during MTLàTABLE, but unfortunately, my experience was far below expectations.
It took over an hour for our first course to arrive, which immediately set a disappointing tone for the evening. When I mentioned the delay twice, the response I received was far from professional - instead of an apology or a gesture of goodwill, I was simply told,'I already told you it's coming.' For a restaurant with such a strong reputation, that lack of courtesy was truly surprising.
As for the food, it was uneven. The lobster bisque was fine but nothing remarkable. The salad was very bitter & in general lacked flavor, almost bland. The goat cheese was enjoyable, & the terrine was decent though not memorable. The lamb & the salmon mousse were good. The beef was tough & difficult to chew, while the pork was tender & well-prepared. The desserts followed the same pattern - the carrot cake was pleasant, but the chocolate mousse felt ordinary.
Overall, the evening was disappointing. After such a long wait & indifferent service, the experience did not live up to Bonaparte's reputation or my expectations. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning.
