My wife & I had the absolute pleasure of visiting this restaurant recently. We were delighted the moment we walked in, to the moment she had her salad & Beef bourguignonne, & I had my Rabbit confit & roasted Duck breast. The desserts as well are also splendid. It goes without saying that when we came to beautiful Montreal to treat our palettes & rest, the experience we enjoyed, as well as the attentive service & atmosphere, was most definitely our highlight. They seem very consistent here & that, I feel, is what sets examples.View more

There are two restaurants that are our favorites in Montreal. Those are Bar George & Restaurant Bonaparte. Bar George has been our favorite for the last few years. Our all-time favorite has been closed for more than 10 years & that was known as the Beaver Club. Bar George has tried to kind of make itself similar to that but unfortunately I'm noticing it's a little bit not quite what it used to be. I would have to say our current favorite is Restaurant Bonaparte. It is located in the Napoleon Bonaparte hotel. Where is Bar George is what you'd call British, restaurant Bonaparte is full on French. When you sit here you're in a nice white dining room with crisp white linens. True high-end French dining. For my course I had the filet mignon topped with a nice large lobe of foie gras. It really doesn't get much better than that. There are high-end steakhouses such as Joe Beef etc. the food in those places is excellent but the noise can be very distracting. Add Bonaparte you have the epitome of fine dining. The staff knows your likes & dislikes. You are exceptionally well cared for in that restaurant. It has become our favorite now. Seafood, Steak, Pork & Duck dinners are all wonderfully prepared. The desserts are simply elegant without being over the top. We found the Profiterole to be among the best we've had anywhere. It is a fairly expensive restaurant among the most expensive we were at during our vacation. But this kind of fine quality dining attention to detail does not come cheap.View more

By far the best place I've ever eaten. It's been two years since my husband & I went for our anniversary & I since dream about this restaurant. The duck with maple syrup is amazing. The napoleon rivals that of any French restaurant. I will count down the days which I can come back. Please never change!View more

We had a great time at Bonaparte & would definitely visit again! We came for the four course Montreal à Table menu, which was excellent. I tried the pumpkin soup, duck confit, beef cheeks, & chocolate cake. Each dish was well-presented & tasty. The only dish I probably wouldn't order again is the beef cheeks, which I thought was good but not great compared to the others. On the flip side, I'm still thinking about the duck confit 24 hours later. I also got the wine pairing for each course, which was a little ambitious seeing as they were full sized glasses. I was told that the normal menu comes with half-servings though. Our sommelier was knowledgeable & took the time to explain each glass. It made for a very enjoyable experience. Service was 4 stars. It took about 15 minutes for us to get seated & for someone to take our order, though I'll write that off as it being a busy Friday evening. After ordering though, each course & wine pairing came out at a smooth & enjoyable pace. Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend visiting if the menu suits your tastes.View more

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.View more

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!View more

If u r looking for a very nice restaurant in the heart of Mobtreal, with really goid food & ratger affordable price, u can't find any better place than Bonaparte restaurant. But, there is a big BUT here, if u expect Michelin level, it is 4/5 compared to Michelin standards. I ordered 4 different meals there. 1st their twisted French onion. Its stock was the best that it could be, showcases the high quality of the restaurant. The 2nd item that I ordered was their best item on the menu:" crem brule' with Foei gras", it might seem weird but it's just genius. Try it & u will find happiness at 1st bite. My main course was confit leg of duck, which had way to be perfect. Nothing special about that, quite pricey, perfect presentatiin like painting with unseasoned vegetables as side dish. It was good, but not so good. The desdert was lime pie, it was 9/10, in my pallet, needed more lime aroma. In general: definitely worth trying. Plus, the manager of this restaurant, was the most polite person that I haver spoken to in whole Canada. He was so good at his job.View more

Service is nice, but a little slow. Not a problem if you wanna drink & just chill. Food is very good. Steak tartare is very nicely done, as is the duck breast. Plating is pretty, more like an artwork. Good atmosphere too. A good place for some fine French cuisine.View more

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!View more

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 atmosphereView more

Overall, the food is very standard & quality or even maybe lower than regular restaurant & not worth the price. 1. Lobster bisque: standard soup. Not bad but not good. 2. Duck foie gras: the combination of the ingredient does not help to enhance the flavour. The duck foie gras instead of regular foie gras can tell you they try to cheap out. 3. Smoke salmon: random ingredient combination. Basically pieces of salmon with some vegetable. 4. Shrimp & scollop: wonderful shrimp taste, but a bit over cooked scollop. I think their plate is way hot for this dish. The seafood fish does not need this. 5. Rabbit conflict: prob one of the best one. Like the pastry texture. But again, same salad on the side. 6. Sober: like this part of the menu. Nevertheless, wish the sparking wine is actually a bit more fizz. It would bring up the taste more. 7. Lamb rack: horrible. The lamb quality is ordinary. The potato is not cooked thorough. All the vegetable have nothing to do with lamb flavour. The sauce is super thick, like syrup as shown in the last picture. 8. Filet mignon: initially ordered medium rare, but turns out to be medium to well done. We asked for the redone. The second piece is amazing. The best dish of the night. The meat is soft & tender, well balenced favor. Again, uncooked potato. 9. dessert: the dessert make me feel like this restaurant wants to give quantity than quality. Every single one taste like something u can get from random grocery shop. I couldn't finish any of the three. 10. Service: the waitress was nice. But I think the management was not good. We sit down for 10 mins without anyone coming up to us or offer water. 11. Taste menu: no creation at all. That's maybe the reason why their service do not even need to introduce or explain the dish ar all. It is my first time ever having a tasting menu & can visually see the simple combination of the ingredient which does not require explanation. 12. Nice location for the restaurant, I guess some fees goes to the location.View more

Fantastic restaurant. The staff were kind & professional & spoke both French & English. The food was delicious. We heard from a friend that their duck is delicious, & can confirm. Would highly recommend the duck confit. The roasted duck breast was also good, but the confit was the hands-down winner. Their cocktails were great, as were the desserts. Must get the creme brulee.View more

Gorgeous atmosphere & decoración. Good service. I had an excelente house prosecco to drink, & only one dish: magret de canard roti with vegetable crudités. The meat was not bad, not very tasty. The price outrageously expensive, 120 CAD after taxes & tip, about 84 EUR, which buys you an outstanding duck dinner in Toulouse.View more

Very nice dining experience for my family. The atmosphere & design of the restaurant were great. I really recommend the lobster salad & the roasted duck breast. The lobster was cooked to perfection paired with a delicious maple syrup dressing. The duck breast was cooked to a perfect doneness, was juicy, had a crispy skin, & was paired with a flavorful maple dressing. Our waitress Sheila was also very friendly, knowledgeable, & added to the experience.View more

It was a wonderful experience! No wonder it is the best restaurant in Montréal. I loved almost everything. Dress something nice, you will feel like a King/Queen. It took us about 1hr & 40mins to complete the tasting menu. First of all, the atmosphere was beautiful. The music, the walls, the tables, the menu, & the plating went very well together. The Christmas tree was beautifully decorated with dried cirtus. I had to take pictures up close. Servers were very professional & attentive. It was a busy night, but they all had a smile on their face & looked very happy working there. Clumsy me, I dropped the butter knife as soon as I got to my seat. I was so embarrassed, but the servers replaced it right away without us asking or getting their attention. Now, the food, we tried the tasting menu, & it was an awesome choice. My husband & I ordered different things & shared them. Salad & lobster bisque - both were great choices; Salmon was no doubt, Duck Foie Gras Crème Brûlée was not for my taste, but I was glad that I tried it; mushroom ravioli was so wonderful, rabbit confit was not my style but again, l loved that I tried it; pear sorbet cleansed my pallet well (but was too boozy for me); roasted duck was heavenly & was the highlight of my meal (got it medium) & lamb was also heavenly (medium as well); tea (gave me a whole pot, loved it) & coffee; cheese option was really great & Pastry was is the only plate I couldn't finish. We didn't take the wine pairing option. We ordered drinks separately. Overall we were very satisfied. Highly recommend to try.View more

4.5/5 Great ambience & vibe. The avg age of guests there is high, meaning it's a consistent & authentic restaurant. The interior gives some French castle vibe. Love it. The service was good except that our server was covering half the tables there by himself. He was nice but too occupied with other guests. Food was great. Appetizers were better than the mains. Great seafood, foie gras, lobster salad & duck breast. Beef bourguignon & lamb shank was alright. P.s. their wine list was impressiveView more

I'm surprised I forgot to leave a review right after.. but better late than never. Everything about this restaurant was impeccable from the service to the food they served. Kinda felt like I should've dressed up a bit instead of my typical casual wear. Splurge for the tasting menu if you can.. If you're going with a la carte, don't miss out on their duck!

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.View more
