The name, “La Petite Marche”, is jokingly attributed to the many small steps that lead us from one dining room to another... The legend says that this name is inspired by a small village located in the Auvergne region, in France. France, where the idea of small simple, tasty dishes would have originated. If you have already been here, you will have noticed that the architecture reflects the menu; inspired, eclectic, diverse, even exotic! A small bistro that never stops evolving. Six dining rooms on three floors and a terrace lined with greenery offer the choice of ambiance. It is that Our restaurant is open to the World. Rebellious and sensual. Multiple and faithful. Generous and original. You will enjoy fine and aromatic meats such as quail, duck or game as well as everyday dishes; fresh and colorful salads, seasoned, crispy fries or European sandwich to go - not to mention pasta, fish, seafood and grilled meats. Festive evenings, romantic dinners, Happy Hour with friends or afternoon coffee, all occasions are good to come relax under the giant skylight and admire the walls covered with mosaics (handmade!). Also offers a varied list of local and imported wines and beers – without forgetting the cocktails, sangria and other delectable elixirs.

I've gone a few times. Every time I do the service is better. The food is amazing. Great portions for breakfast. Love the fact they have live jazzy music. Makes for a great ambiance.
I went here on a Monday night to hear some Quebec music, & I was not disappointed. Not only was the music on fire, but the atmosphere was amazing. I met so many fantastic people from Quebec & overseas. I am not a musician, but this is a place I would recommend.
The bar was short staffed. However, the 2 staff members who were working handled the constant influx with great professionalism & a smile.
If you're looking for a true Montreal experience, La Petite Marche on Saint Denis is a must-visit! Nestled in the heart of Le Plateau, this charming spot is beloved for its vibrant, welcoming atmosphere & generous portions that make brunch here a local institution. The staff are consistently friendly & accommodating, making everyone-from solo diners to large groups-feel right at home.
What really sets La Petite Marche apart is its lively ambiance, especially during their frequent live music nights. On our recent visit, we were lucky enough to catch a performance by the incredible Mari Sild-Muusika ja Mõtted. Her soulful voice & captivating presence transformed our evening into something truly memorable. The venue regularly hosts a variety of talented musicians, creating a unique blend of great food & cultural discovery that's hard to find elsewhere in the city.
Whether you're a music lover, a brunch enthusiast, or just looking for a fun spot to gather with friends, La Petite Marche delivers on all fronts. Don't miss their live music nights-especially if you get the chance to hear Mari Sild perform! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the best of Montreal's food & arts scene.
Endroit parfait pour passer une belle soirée animée par un spectacle musical. Bon service, aucune erreur sur les factures même si nous étions 10 personnes qui avons partagé des plats & des bouteilles. Par contre, nous avons tous été déçu par le repas. Crevettes & pétoncles vraiment trop cuites, burger de canard assez sec, température inégale dans un plat de pâtes. La qualité de la cuisine devrait être améliorée.
Got a smoked meat poutine, delicious & a large portion. Then I got a coffee & apple tart. The tart was not very good. Overall it was good. Enjoyed music performances
Friendly servers, great drinks & on Tuesday evening they have jams of traditional music both upstairs (around 18 different strings players plus a spoons guy when I went) & downstairs (some hurdy gurries & accordions when I was there). Very lively & amazing to hear!
Souper avec spectacle d'un amii musicien de la famille. Premièrement, oui, le petit concert était magique. Belle ambiance dans les lieux. Belle participation des clients aussi! Bon. Pour la bouffe, c'est un "hit or miss" comme on dit. Les trucs moyens : Nachos en entrée : passable & banal. Salade d'artichaut : pas mauvaise mais pas mémorable. Pizza : pas vraiment bonne à mon avis; croûte à la consistance trop épaisse, sauce au tomate fade, garniture de moyenne qualité. C'est mon ressenti. Les positifs : Les frites sont pas mal! Mais ce qui vole le show se sont les moules... Mama mia qu'elles sont bonnes! Elles sont grosses & goûteuses, & elles baignent dans une soupe tellement savoureuse! Les meilleures moules que j'ai mangées au restaurant. Belle ambiance. Il faisait chaud par contre. & étrangement, la fenêtre sur le toit ne retenait pas suffisamment la pluie dehors. Ce qui fait que des gouttes tombaient sur nous & nos plats... pas agréable. Bon service & bonne expérience en somme. 👍
Je suis allé prendre un brunch avec ma compagne & la nourriture n'était pas vraiment bonne. C'était très ordinaire par rapport au prix & des mouches tournait autour de nos assiettes, nous empêchant même de finir... Cependant, j'imagine que le soir avec les musiciens, l'ambiance doit valoir la peine!

The ambiance, staff & services was top scale. The musical interludes
made the night even more blissful. Finding parking was better than I
thought. I will visit again.
What a lovely dinner, food was wonderful. Great service. Also loved the music, Isabel has a beautiful voice! Plan to come back on the next first Sunday of the month.
