La Maison Verte is a lovely & cozy restaurant in the West Island of Montreal, with a great atmosphere-especially during the Christmas season. The festive décor creates a warm & welcoming vibe that we truly enjoy.
The table d'hôte is a very good option, with well-chosen dishes & a nice balance of flavors. We come here regularly, about three to four times a year, & it's always a pleasant experience.
The food is consistently good. I particularly enjoy the salmon & the steak platter, & the dessert selection is also very nice. It's classic French cuisine with a tasteful Quebec twist.
One small suggestion would be to have more staff during very busy periods. The restaurant was quite full during our visit, & service took a bit longer than usual. That said, the quality of the food & the overall experience still made it worthwhile.
A great place for a cozy meal, especially during the holidays. We will definitely continue coming back.

We had a fantastic experience at La Maison Verte! There were four of us, & from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere, service, & food were absolutely top-notch. Every dish was beautifully prepared & full of flavor-truly a wonderful taste of French cuisine.
What really stood out, though, was the way the staff handled an unexpected moment: The team responded with such kindness, patience, & professionalism. They made us feel completely at ease & quickly took care of everything with a smile.
It's rare to find a place with such excellent food & such grace under pressure. We left feeling grateful & impressed. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.
This is a great place to enjoy a beautifully prepared French meal with interesting twists. There's something for everyone! The service is great. Someone's always got an eye out to make sure you're enjoying your meal. Friendly staff & ambiance.
This is one of the top restaurants in the West Island. Excellent French cuisine in a heritage house, with outstanding service to match. If you're looking for a great meal where you can hear the people you're dining with, this is it.
We realized why this gem is such an institution in the West Island. Great French food perfect for a family dinner or a special date night (like in our case). My hubby did the gastronomic menu with wine pairing & every dish served to him was well thought out. It's a good choice for first timers. I went with ala carte & had their beet salad, foie gras terrine, magret du canard & their gluten free chocolate cake. Our server Charlie did very well timing our courses together despite having different choices. Overall very good experience!

We come back every couple of years & the consistency is always on point. Very quaint French resto with good value, delicious food & good service. Really loved the foie gras poelé & the veal sweet breads.
Fine French dining, but cuiously no dress code. 6 people for a 2 1/2 hr dinner. Well serviced, & atentive wait staff. On meal of the 6 wss a little over cooked, abd presentation ws haphazard. All others we excelent. Even served a pallat cleanser.
We were visiting from the US & looking for a truly fine dining French experience & this surpassed all of our expectations!! We had the five course meal with wine pairings & each dish was beautifully executed with flawless flavor & presentation. The service was perfect...the staff friendly & knowledgeable & clearly passionate about their work. This was the absolute best meal we've had in many years & truly made our vacation!!
This is a lovely French restaurant in a thoughtfully restored 100-year old house. The service was great & the atmosphere amazing. The food was exquisite. Unfortunately, I had a snail that hadn't been properly rinsed, but the beautiful, creamy sauce washed it down nicely! ;)

Fantastic French restaurant on the west island. Food is of quality, cooked well & plated nicely. The service is warm & friendly. The restaurant ambiance is charming. If the weather permits, sit on their outdoor upper terrace. Just be advised that the view on top is fair at best.
Excellent attention, from the beginning they received us together with my wife, their administrator, with a cordial greeting. After being at the table we ordered some "smoked scalops", for starters, wonderful to share. As a good Chilean, I selected lamb as the main dish & my wife had an assortment of seafood, the preparation of each one regardless of the good taste, they had an excellent presentation on the plate. Finally, we loved the dessert that some had the possibility of being gluten-free & lactose-free, without losing any flavor (chocolatte gatau & a crepe). I couldn't order wine because I was driving, but I hope to return at some future opportunity. Congratulations, it felt like a very homely atmosphere with its French style, the attention of the service was never neglected.
A wonderful French restaurant, all meat dishes melt in your mouth & deliciously flavoured & they offer a variety of tasty vegetarian options. A must for all haute cuisine food lovers!
