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 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.
Je suis allée à ce restaurant pour déjeuner &, honnêtement, je n'y retournerai pas. L'endroit manque vraiment de charme, pour ne pas dire affreux.
Pour le prix, j'ai trouvé que c'était franchement exagéré pour un petit déjeuner. L'assiette était copieuse, c'est vrai, mais ça ne compense pas le reste. J'ai commandé les bénédictines, qui devaient être servies avec une sauce au bleu. Or, c'était une hollandaise tout à fait ordinaire, très pâle & fade.
À part les saucisses, qui étaient plutôt insipides, le reste des éléments dans l'assiette était correct. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la présence de fruits frais.
Le cappuccino, par contre, était franchement mauvais. Ça faisait longtemps que je n'en avais pas bu un aussi mal exécuté.
En résumé, je ne recommande pas ce restaurant. Pour le même prix, on peut trouver à Montréal de bien meilleurs déjeuners, beaucoup plus savoureux & gourmands.

Super belle soirée à La Petite Marche ! Le personnel était vraiment sympathique & accueillant. La nourriture était délicieuse, tout était frais & savoureux. & la musique live… wow ! Ça a vraiment mis une belle ambiance. J'ai adoré mon expérience, j'y retournerais sans hésiter.
Les serveurs & serveuses sont hyper désagréables!!! Dommage car le site est très sympa! L'ambiance serait meilleure avec un service affichant un beau sourire.
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.
J'y suis allé durant la matinée en semaine pour une rencontre d'affaires & nous étions presque seuls... Pas vraiment d'ambiance à ce moment de la journée.
