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.View more

A wonderful traditional French restaurant with a great atmosphere in the Old Port. You will be amazed by the fantastic ambience, sparkling Christmas tree, warm lights, elegant table cloths, romantic music & 5 stars service. We chose the 7 course tasting menu without regrets. Every dish was perfect! It was pleasant to sit a table by the window having delicious meals while it was snowing outside. An unforgettable night! We will come back!View more

Incredible from start to finish. Was in Montreal for a quick weekend visit. Spouse decided on a last minute client dinner & I was lucky enough to find a spot for 4 at Bonaparte on a Friday night. The original table assigned to us was in a busy area so our guests requested a quieter location & the staff at Bonaparte couldn't have been more gracious. After just a short wait, they seated us in the back with a perfect table for 4. 3 of us opted for the tasting menu. Service from their team was impeccable & the food was amazing in all facets (presentation, flavours & textures). Our reservation was at 8PM & we ended up spending almost 4 hours there., time just flew by. The atmosphere is very relaxing. We were never rushed or hurried. Very nice experience for the entire party. This is a must do when in Montreal. We would travel back to Montreal just to experience Bonaparte again & perhaps even stay at the adjacent hotel. Merci beaucoup!!!View more

Beautiful food, beautiful atmosphere. The staff are very welcoming & all the food was prepared well. It's also in a beautiful location in the old town, so try to get a window seat if you can.View more

The best fine dine experience in montreal. A must visit restaurant for all the visitors . The food, cocktails, dessert everything was so on point. Although the food is on a very higher end, the total bill was more than $300 but it was so worth it. 10/10 experience.View more

Le Bonaparte est un restaurant de style empire de l'époque napoléonienne. Nous étions dans la salle Impératrice avec son beau foyer & ses grandes fenêtres qui donnent vue sur la rue. Un excellent souper de 4 services. Ambiance chaleureuse. & que dire du service, Juliette & compagnie nous ont choyés aux petits oignons. Merci à MTL à table de nous avoir fait connaitre ce restaurant.View more

Lovely hotel in superb location. It's what you're looking for when seeking an Old Montreal experience. It's true that the bed is firm but we like that & the pillows were perfect. The sheets felt luxurious. It can get noisy on Saturday night & the towels could be better. Parking was a breeze next door & cost about 75$ for two nights. All in all, will be back!View more

The server was great. The speed of the food was very slow. Meal quality was great & they have an excellent wine selection. The duck & rabbit were both lovely. Again just a long wait between courses.View more

The server was nice, the food was alright but waiting over an hour & a half between each service for the tasting menu made no sense.View more

Delicious restaurant in the heart of old Montreal! They offer excellent wine selection & a great menu choice! They also offer a tasting menu so you get to experience the best dishes of the restaurant (6 service). We tried their special MTLaTable promotion which was a 4 course meal & it was great! It allowed us to discover this restaurant & we would come back again in the future to try out more dishes!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

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.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

Excellent restaurant, very good atmosphere, impeccable service, very knowledgeable & attentive waiters with a great smile! Not noisy at all. Nice white tablecloths, comfortable chairs.The tables are nicely spaced out. Very nice background music. Montreal should have more restaurants like that. The food is excellent. We were 4 people & ordered different choices & they were all great! The dishes decorated with a big taste & with so many details. Rare find. I would recommend it 100%.View more

Service agréable. Le repas a été assez décevant dans l'ensemble, les assiettes sont assez fade & vide. Le plat de veau a 3 microscopiques morceaux de haricots verts en accompagnement. Toutefois, Les raviolis étaient bons. Le kir au cassis manquait de cassis. Je n'y retournerai pas, ne vaut pas le prix.View more
