3 visites lors des deux dernières années. Nous étions le même groupe de 4.
Service sympathique & attentionné. De bons conseils pour le choix de vins.Belle carte.
La qualité de la cuisine s'est maintenu d'une visite à l'autre. Nous prenons le menu dégustation. Je n'ai pas trouvé le chou-fleur, l'une des spécialités de la maison, extraordinaire. Par contre, j'ai beaucoup apprécié le plat de boudin noir & crevettes ainsi que le moelleux au chocolat. Mon coup de coeur! La salade de tomates! Un plat qui semble simple, presque banal. Ce fut pourtant fantastique!! Goûteux, complexe, long & savoureux en bouche. Un grand plat comme on rêve d'en découvrir quand on franchit la porte d'un bon restaurant!
Expérience sublime en terrasse! Nous avons essayé le menu à l'aveugle & nous avons été comblé en finesse, en saveur & en fraîcheur. Un vrai délice pour les yeux & l'estomac!!! Thon & tartare de boeuf en entrée. Risotto de champignons & saucisses italiennes & fèves en repas. Tout les plats se mêlaient ensemble à la perfection! Mon fils a pris le hamburger Victoire & a aussi adoré donc, il yen a pour tout les goûts & tout les âges !
We ate in a few places in Montreal during our stay. Many very good. This is the only one I reviewed because it was so great. The second time we went we had the trust the chef option with family. Every dish was great. Spectacular fresh tuna tartare, grilled hangar steak ( wood fired by the taste), fresh summer tomatoes salad with an amazing froth of some kind, calamari, grilled artichoke hearts ( not usually a fan but an incredible Smokey creamy sauce with it) then three fab desserts. We shared between 5 so got great variety ( 5 different starters, 4 different mains three desserts.). Unexpectedly great value actually at $45 pp. Attentive knowledgeable waiter, helpful wine suggestions with tasting. Just excellent.

Nous avions vu ce restaurant dans l'émission coup de food. Nous y sommes allés pour manger le fameux chou-fleur: c'était complètement fou. C'était gourmand & raffiné à la fois. Nous avons poursuivi avec le boudin & crevettes pour goûter à au moins un autre plat du restaurant & c'était tout aussi délicieux. Nous y retournerons pour un repas complet la prochaine fois, c'est certain.
My review is a bit outdated since my last visit was over a year ago. But before I moved out of the Plateau it used to be my go to place for groups out of towners & special but casual occasions. Food & service were reliably good.
Our friend & neighbor Edward, (now living in FL) recommended Chez Victoire for an authentic Québécois experience, & he couldn't have been more right.
We came for our anniversary & left completely charmed.
From the moment we walked in, Emile greeted us with genuine warmth & guided us through an incredibly personalized experience. His knowledge of the menu & thoughtful recommendations made the whole evening feel special & intimate rather than rushed or generic.
The atmosphere struck the perfect balance of cozy & intimate enough for a celebration, yet lively & full of that classic Plateau energy. The food was outstanding: refined, seasonal, & proudly local. Every dish felt carefully considered & beautifully executed.
If you're looking for a memorable, authentic Montreal dinner that still feels personal & welcoming, Chez Victoire delivers. We'll definitely be back & we'll keep thanking Edward for the tip!
We had such a beautiful evening at Chez Victoire tonight! The staff went above & beyond to make us feel special for our anniversary! The food is outstanding & so fresh. We ordered the cheese to start. It was all Quebec cheeses, & all were delicious. We couldn't decide what part of the meal was our favorite, because it was all so good. The strip that it's on is all pedestrian with lots of shopping & bars/restaurants & it's surrounded by residential housing. It was a wonderful evening that we look forward to visiting again.
