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.
Serveurs très aimable, très bon service, la pizza americano est succulente. On est arrivé tard & on a quand même été servi. Le gérant a été très gentil, je recommande fort.
Je m'attendais à une bonne pizza fraîche, malheureusement, après une longue attente, nous avons reçu l'entrée & la pizza en même temps & celle-ci était sec & goûtait fade. Les toilettes pour hommes sentaient comme si elles n'avaient pas été nettoyés depuis des semaines. Le service était correct, sans plus. Le prix trop élevé pour la qualité des plats.
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.
Super pizzeria ! Léa meilleure serveuse ever ! Très attentionnée , souriante & rapide ! Les pizzas sont bonnes , croustillantes & bien cuites ! L'ambiance est vraiment cool & chaleureuse ! Il fait bien chaud dans le restaurant & on y est très à l'aise ! Je recommande !
Specialty pizza restaurant with limited seating without a reservation. Highly recommend the Francesco pizza, it has a very unique blend of flavours that goes surprisingly well together! You can combine two flavors if you get the XL pizza.
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.
