Open since 1985, our restaurant offers a Swiss and European cuisine which is very comforting, including our traditional raclette dish. Founded in the Swiss Alps, this typical dish is offered here with the same authenticity as where it came from. La raclette, which is also the name of the cheese used for this dish comes from the action of scraping the cheese melted by a heat source to your plate. So you can enjoy this dish already prepared for you in your plate or using our oven that allows you to heat and scrape the cheese at your table. Also, in the purest tradition, this dish is served with cold meats (ham and beef) which comes from the region of Grisons in Switzerland, our pickles and pickled onions and potatoes. The quality of ingredients and simplicity are all the charm of this traditional raclette.
Moreover, apart from our traditional raclette dish, we offer a variety of other delicious dishes that stem from a long tradition of Swiss and European cuisine, such as our fondue cheese, thinly sliced veal Zurich and other delights to discover...
La Raclette is described as a cozy, warm spot where the cheese is a highlight and portions are generous, with the service and atmosphere frequently praised. Many reviews note that the prices can feel high for what is offered, with extra charges for certain raclette options or supplements for more meat, and some mention a sparse vegetarian raclette option. The cheese quality and fondue are repeatedly praised, and the accompaniments such as charcuterie and potatoes are cited as strong points, with desserts like a chocolate dome receiving compliments. The service is often described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, though a few comments point to slower service when the venue is busy. BYOW is highlighted as a plus in several reviews, and the overall experience is seen as a good fit for date nights or groups, with many saying they would return despite price concerns.
We have an amazing experience with Juliette & Vincent, the food was delicious & the service extraordinary. Thank you guys, you gave us an unforgettable experience!!

I am giving this restaurant 5 because as far as satisfying the cheese need for raclette this restaurant does it. BYOB is a nice touch. Service is top notch attentive & knowledgeable staff. You will be presented with a large amount of food & lots of cheese. You will leave full & satisfied. I will say the price is somewhat expensive but I say totally worth it as raclette is a delicacy & I don't think there are too many options for the cuisine in the city. So if you want a fun interactive experience with a very niche cuisine don't hesitate!
My husband & I really wanted some fondue on our trip to Montréal. We found La Raclette & we are so happy we did! From the second we entered the restaurant, it seemed like all the staff genuinely enjoyed & cared about the restaurant & the customers. Everyone was so attentive & welcoming. We had the Brussels Sprouts for our appetizer & now I'm wishing I could make the dish even half as delicious as the one at the restaurant. Of course, we had fondue for our main entree & for dessert the chocolate dome filled with fruits & ice cream. Everything was delicious & ended our last night in the city perfectly. Can't wait to visit again!
We just wandered into this place by accident while staying in the area. WOW! Food was ridiculously good & such a cute setting. It was also super reasonably priced for the quality. Would highly recommend the Brussels sprouts appetizer! Unlike anything I've ever had. We ordered a second round after my kids devoured it. Other standouts were an excellent elk steak & the meat fondue. A.so, the MONT BLANC dessert was to die for! Of note: it's BYO for alcohol.

Went to celebrate a relatives birthday & the service plus food were phenomenal. The pulled lamb appetizer was great & the Brussels sprout appetizer might be the best Brussels I have ever had. Split the La Pierrade all Beef which was incredible. Also tried the cod & elk steak which were very good too. Finally the Mont Blanc dessert & raspberry sorbet were refreshing ends to a delightful meal. Our waiters were prompt, polite & helpful. Overall 5/5 would do again
Fun menu! My date & I got La Pierrade viandes. So filling! Absolutely must visit. There's an SAQ not far for those who want to do the whole BYOB experience.

Hier soir, nous étions 12 personnes pour le service de 17 h 30. Nous savions que nous devions quitter la table pour le service de 20 h. Toutefois, le serveur est venu nous dire que nous devions quitter le restaurant pour le prochain service. Je n'ai pas apprécié son insistance. Mes amis & moi savons ce que nous devons faire !
Très bonne soirée grâce à la nourriture délicieuse & généreusement servie, nous avons choisi une raclette venue avec un potager onctueux ! Tout le staff a été très agréable : attentionné, professionnel tout en étant discret. Un grand merci à notre serveuse (marseillaise!) très sympa qui nous a donné envie de revenir !
Nous avons pris la fondue aux fromages pour 4 personnes. Le tout est servi avec une assiette de charcuterie, des légumes & du pain à volonté. La portion de fromage à fondue est généreuse. Les employés sont très sympathiques & rapides. Vous pouvez trouver du stationnement gratuit (sans vignette) ou payer votre stationnement à la borne indiquée par le restaurant & vous stationnez n'importe où. N'oubliez pas votre vin!

Magnifique expérience vécue ce début de mois de mars à La Raclette. Service exceptionnel - personnel souriant, coordonné, efficace. Nous étions 2, & l'hôtesse nous a placés à une petite table agréable au niveau de la fenêtre. Nous étions confortables, & on s'est régalés. (Raclette à l'européenne) Les portions sont copieuses & le prix est raisonnable pour la qualité de la nourriture & du service. Les serveurs comme les commis sont exceptionnels. Merci !
The rib steak was not worth it. It was to share & the amount was very little for two people. The taste was so so. The service is pretty good! & they are very nice & accommodating.
You'll find a cozy spot to indulge in some tasty raclette cheese. The atmosphere is super nice, the service is friendly & the cheese & meats are delicious. It's a really great pick if you're in the mood for something comforting & satisfying! Be aware the budget is a little high but extremely worth it for everything!
Endroit très chaleureux, personnel sympathique & tout est délicieux! OPTION VÉGANE!!! Il faut aviser d'avance parce qu'il se procure le fromage vegan sur demande seulement. Le hachis vegan fait de beyond meat & lentilles est très bon. La gaspacho est aussi végane est vraiment bonne. Mes amies ont pris la raclette traditionnelle & tout le monde a été ravis!
La Raclette has consistently & deliciously prepared on point dishes with brilliant service, every time. Been going here for many, many years, & I highly recommend them. Best BYOW place ever!
