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...
Reviews describe La Raclette as a cozy, inviting spot with a warm atmosphere, generous portions of cheese and potatoes, and a range of raclette and fondue options that pair well with charcuterie, while some guests feel the prices are high for simpler meats and the BYOW approach is seen as a plus by wine lovers or a drawback for those expecting inclusive drinks; service is widely praised for friendliness and attentiveness, the cheese is noted as high quality, and many guests appreciate the BYOW option and the convivial, shareable experience that makes it good for dates or gatherings, with several noting they would return.
We have been to La Raclette many times & it is one of my family's favourite restaurants in the city. The restaurant's is named after the shareable Swiss dish of melted raclette cheese served with various meats (e.g. viande séchée), potatoes & other vegetables, & pickles (cornichons). However, the restaurant is so much more than the raclette -- we always order their other various menu items that change seasonally. This weekend we also had the beef tartare & shrimp cocktail to start, as well as the pork Schnitzel & New Brunswick black cod as mains, all excellent as per usual. We had the chocolate cake & hot chocolate dome for dessert, which were amazing & is no surprise since the very talented chef is also a trained patisserie. The outdoor terrace is also a very romantic in the summer. In September, we booked the restaurant for a private party to celebrate our marriage as the restaurant can be booked for private parties of about 60-80 people. The event went amazingly well, we were extremely pleased with how the event was planned & executed by both the management team & the chef, who also created our amazing tiered wedding cake. So many of our guests complimented the food & we were happy to share our favourite restaurant. La Raclette might not come up as a trendy Montreal restaurant, but as avid restaurant patrons to many various restaurants in the city we consider this spot a not-so-known secret spot. There is a reason the restaurant has endured years of operations, & we are happy to share this place with others. La Raclette is highly recommended.

Nous sommes allés à La Raclette plusieurs fois & c'est l'un des restaurants préférés de ma famille dans la ville. Le restaurant est nommé d'après le plat suisse partageable de Raclette fondue servi avec diverses viandes (par exemple la viande séchée), pommes de terre & autres légumes, & cornichons. Cependant, le restaurant est tellement plus que la raclette -- nous commandons toujours leurs autres menus divers qui changent selon les saisons. Ce week-end, nous avons également commencé de tartare de boeuf & le cocktail de crevettes, ainsi que le Schnitzel de porc & la morue noire du Nouveau-Brunswick, tous excellents. Nous avons eu le gâteau au chocolat & dôme de chocolat chaud pour le dessert, qui étaient incroyables & ce n'est pas une surprise car le chef très talentueux est aussi une pâtisserie formée. La terrasse extérieure est également très romantique en été. En septembre, nous avons réservé le restaurant pour une fête privée pour célébrer notre mariage car le restaurant peut être réservé pour des soirées privées d'environ 60 à 80 personnes. L'événement s'est très bien déroulé, nous avons été extrêmement satisfaits de la planification & de l'exécution de l'événement par l'équipe de direction & le chef, qui ont également créé notre incroyable gâteau de mariage à plusieurs niveaux. Beaucoup de nos clients ont félicité la nourriture & nous étions heureux de partager notre restaurant préféré. La Raclette pourrait ne pas être un restaurant branché de Montréal, mais en tant que client de restaurants avides de nombreux restaurants de la ville, nous considérons que cet endroit est un endroit secret peu connu. Il y a une raison pour laquelle le restaurant a subi des années d'opérations, & nous sommes heureux de partager cet endroit avec d'autres. La Raclette est fortement recommandé.
What an incredible experience we had again, it is such a pleasure to be back with friends & be able to enjoy such an amazing meal. If there was one thing I would definitely change, the chairs are not comfortable when sitting for a while & made for small people.
Nourriture dépassée depuis de années... des brocolis bouillis & un peu de charcuteries tranchées. Bien pour les personnes qui aiment les classiques.Sinon rien d'exceptionnel pour le prix.
Adorable restaurant. The service was amazing. Food was very good. Our cream of leak & potato was ordinary. I had duck leg with fries & salad. Everything was crazy delicious! My creme brulee was missing abit of brulee but still tasty. Only negative point is that you absolutely have to take table d'hote.
Le brunch est gastronomique, aussi délicieux que la cuisine servie le soir. Apportez un mousseux & le resto vous offrira le jus d'Orange pour vous préparer un mimosa. Très agréable d'être un peu pompette au déjeuner. J'ai essayé les oeufs au saumon fumé, le croissant au fromage & artichauts & l'omelette à laraclette & boeuf des grisons & les trois menus étaient tous délicieux. À essayer sans faute!
Belle découverte pour le brunch ! Assiettes originales, certaines suivent l'inspiration du lieu (omelette au roblochon). Service sympathique & professionnel. Il faut maintenant y retourner pour goûter raclettes & fondues...
