In 1861, Thomas Wilson first established its hardware store at 400 Place Jacques Cartier and for over 155 years, this building stood at the very heart of the Old Montreal. In 1970, the iconic French restaurant Chez Queux moved in and would remain there for well over 40 years.
Today it is our turn to leave our mark on this legendary Montreal building. We welcome all who come by, providing food the way we like it, simple, fresh and delicious. After a long day of sightseeing or while on a break from your bicycle ride in the Old Port, drop by Comptoir 400, we are always happy too see (and feed) you!
Comptoir 400 comes across as a lively Old Port spot with a pleasant terrace and a mix of solid dishes and variable service, where reviewers praise the location, atmosphere and flavors in items like mussels, poutine, pizza, burgers and fish, while noting that portions and prices can be inconsistent and some dishes arrive cold or underseasoned. The menu spans seafood, mains and shareables, with several mentions of bruschetta, salads and the arugula pizza as standouts, though a few experiences describe slower service, slow drink refills and uneven attention from staff. The ambiance is repeatedly described as warm and welcoming, making it a good casual option for families, groups or a relaxed dinner, especially outdoors, but timing can suffer during peak hours and some visits feel rushed. Overall, Comptoir 400 is seen as a worthwhile stop for a tasty, location-driven meal with friendly service, yet guests should temper expectations about consistency across visits.
I had lunch with my spouse, nice location & service. The food was fine, we had a cheeseburger & a Swiss cheese crepe with aperol limocello & a red Ireland beer, all tasted good & the price was a little high but acceptable for the tourism area.
Great place! Delicious food, amazing service & very friendly staff especially our server Mariam. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Comptoir 400 with my family, which includes 2 years old baby, & it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly captured the essence of an authentic Italian eatery. Our server, Mariam, was extraordinary. She welcomed us with a friendly smile & provided top-notch service throughout our meal. She would wave & play with our kid & make him smile & laugh. Her extensive knowledge of the menu & her thoughtful recommendations made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Mariam was attentive, ensuring that our glasses were never empty & that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pizza & crepe. Each bite was bursting with flavor, & the crust was perfectly crisp. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh & of high quality. The restaurant also boasts an impressive selection of wine & beer, which complemented our meal perfectly. Mariam's suggestions on pairing drinks with our food were spot on & added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dinner. Mariam's exceptional service truly stood out. She went above & beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience, paying attention to every detail & making us feel like valued guests. Her genuine care & professionalism were evident & greatly appreciated. In summary, this resto offers delectable pizza, a fantastic selection of wines & beers, & outstanding service. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a memorable Italian meal in great location in historic Montreal old part of the city , this is the spot. A heartfelt thank you to Mariam & the entire team for a fantastic evening. We can't wait to return!! See you in the fall again! Merci!
Our family had a wonderful experience at Le Comptoir 400. The pizzas & crepes were delicious, & the cocktails were a delight. The service was outstanding, with friendly & attentive staff. We were very happy with our meal & will definitely return. Highly recommend!🤩💓👏
Everything was great the pizza, the crepe, both savory & the sweet kind. Our server was amazing 👏 I am not truly sure if they are pet friendly, but they were sweet enough to give my friends dog a bowl of water & let him go inside 😀 I wish they had heavier carbs like pasta, other than that it was amazing.
Stopped by after seeing the amount of positive reviews. First impressions, I loved the look of the restaurant we came around 12PM & it looked empty inside. The customer service was great the waitress was very friendly & helped us out quick. Food was really good, we got a pizza & crepes. The pizza was a little crispy, dough was fresh, & garnishing was spot on. The crepe on the other hand was soft & not to heavy on the stomach. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone stopping by from Toronto you will definitely not be disappointed.
Delicious hot chocolate, coffee & amazing crepe with Nutella. Great spot to stop & relax during cold days. Staff is super nice & the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend
