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.
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.
Very busy quasi cafe in the middle.of very busy old Montreal by the Port. Nice enough staff. Seemed to have ample staff but still overwhelmed by crowd of people on a not so busy day. Then again doesn't seem like any food place in Montreal emphasizes speed.
Superbe endroit à Montréal. Vous allez-vous régaler tout est délicieux! l'accueil magnifique! les serveuses au top & l'ambiance géniale ! Vous ne serez pas déçu, nous sommes de passage au Canada, & nous reviendrons ici à coup sûr. Noémie
