Je suis une régulière à ce restaurent. Toujours excellente nourriture & exceptionnel service! J'aimais eu aucun problème. Les week-end il y a des déjeuners & les oeufs Bénédicte sont EXCEPTIONNELS 😍😍😍 je recommande à coup sûr si vous passez à Montréal.
UDATE. Ils ont changé les oeufs Bénédictine & ont remplacé la gratin dauphinois par des patates déjeuner que j'aurais pu avoir au Cora une même plus petite portion que Cora). Un peu un décevant du déjeuner… avec une salade que je ne mange pas. Au moins les oeufs étaient bon & cuit à la perfection mais j'ai été très déçu cette mâtiné là 😢. Jus d'orange bon à l'habitude. Je vais y retourner pour dîner/souper mais j'attendrai un petit peu avant d'y retourner pour déjeuner.
De plus, la serveuse commence à nous parler en anglais, nous lui répondons que nous parlons français. Elle continue à nous parler anglais alors que nous répondons en français & lui répétons plus de 3 fois que nous parlons français avant qu'elle comprenne dans nos visages. Je sais qu'elle est nouvelle mais on lui répondait en français & on lui a dit 3 fois… le service était excellent & rapide comme d'habitude en dehors de cela.View more

Nice ambience & good service. Food experience disappointing though. Liver pate was nondescript & tasted processed rather than home made. The duck confit was bland, soft skinned & nothing like the proper French dish with crispy skin & tasty delicate meat. The salad with lardons & poached egg was ok but the salmon was bland too & the potato purée that came with it was nothing special. The place itself looked promising but the cuisine did not deliver. Pity.View more

Ça demeure une des meilleures tables au centre-ville. Le midi comme le soir. & si vous avez la chance d'être servi par Dominique, l'expérience est simplement incroyable.View more

J'y suis allé en semaine un jeudi soir sur réservation. Le service est bon, l'ambiance est bonne & les plats ont du goût !
J'ai pris Burrata vinaigre balsamique, une bavette & un pudding chômeur.
Pas mal de plats français, style bistro.

They were busy & had a hiccup with our table to start but were extremely receptive to fixing it & making sure our experience ended strong. 10 points to management for turning around a slow start to the meal.View more

Our group really enjoyed everything. Beef tartare, mussels, caramel dessert stood out. Good Canadian wine list.View more

J'ai adoré sur tous les points ! Je recommande ce restaurant sans aucun doute. Notre serveur qui se nommait Joe était tellement gentil, nous avons manqué de rien, il est exceptionnel honnêtement ! L'expérience était très agréable ! 💕View more

Saturday brunch. Setting was lovely, atmosphere typically brasserie, service was attentive but not obtrusive. Fish & chips were tasty, fries especially, fish was disconcertingly tender, but tasty. Now, eggs Benny, one with ham, one with smoked salmon-both poorly executed. Poached eggs should be lovely & runny yolks & tender FULLY COOKED whites. That's not what was presented. While the yolks were runny, the whites were liquid, watery unappealing & left in a watery mess on the plate. Also had one tradional full breakfast with sausage(just ok), smoked bacon (delicious), baked beans(undercooked) & over easy eggs which were over cooked & left uneaten , the grilled bread that was supposed to accompany it never arrived. Bloody Caesar was traditional & delicious. Unexciting bread was served before the meal, no butter, not a great first impression. Service was lovely, atmosphere cheerful. $140 four people.View more

Excellent service in a warm & cozy environment with a great crowd of people & a great wait staff. Food was delicious French fare. They did an excellent job with the wine. The place is just a little noisy. The ceiling could use some acoustic baffles to make conversation easier, but I can't wait to go back!View more

We came here with some business vendors who took us out for dinner. The inside is very classy & chique. & our waiter was very friendly & attentive during the whole meal. We started with some appetizers of oysters, steak tartare, foie gras & French onion soup. My main was the lobster ravioli. We finished with a few dessert samplings including crème brûlée. It was an amazing meal. Everything was delicious! I will definitely come back here when I'm back in Montreal!View more
