We had a wonderful experience at Le 409! The tikka was cooked perfectly & packed with flavor, with spices that were rich, aromatic, & beautifully balanced. The creative cocktails were also a highlight & paired really well with the food.
The service made the evening even more enjoyable. Everyone working there was warm, welcoming, attentive, & genuinely lovely. Overall, it's a great spot for delicious Indian food, unique drinks, & excellent hospitality. We would definitely return!
I recently visited Le 409 in downtown Montréal on a Friday night with a group of five people, & it was a fantastic experience!
The food was incredible! My friends & I ordered the samosas & the Butter Chicken, both of which were amazing. What stood out even more was that all the portion sizes were generous, & the pricing was very reasonable for a restaurant in this part of the city.
The service was excellent throughout the night. I also have to shout out their cocktails; they are expertly crafted. I ordered the'CATNIP', & I would highly recommend it! All in all, the atmosphere & drink quality are top-tier.
I would highly, highly recommend Le 409 to anyone. I will definitely be returning!
One of my favourite resto/bars ever. Indian food combined with great beers, fantastic service (super nice waiters/waitresses) & nice cocktails! The atmosphere is especially lovely!
Ate here last night & I understand why the reviews are so divided. The food was cooked amazing. The tandoori vegetables & paneer are outstanding. The quality of the ingredients is better than any Indian place I have ever eaten at before. However, it is not strongly spiced & aromatic as I normally prefer.
I wouldnt bring friends from India here, but if you approach this place like a fusion/influenced by India place it is great.
Butter chicken, naan, & the tandoori veg were outstanding.
Cocktails & service were great, & I would definitely be back.
If you're newer to Indian food or have people in your party that aren't too food adventurous bring them here.
(Maybe there is a way to spice things up, but they didnt offer it to us)
My husband & I had a lovely dining experience here on a Saturday evening in early April. I made a last minute reservation for 8:30pm. Upon arrival, we had a warm welcome from the host who gave us a lovely table by the window. The restaurant is cool, hip, & chic with a ton of windows & a large bar in the center. Our waiter was professional & courteous. The food came out quickly with our 2 appetizers & 3 mains spaced out perfectly. All dishes were absolutely flavorful & delicious & our specialty cocktails were amazing, as well. I highly recommend!
Really delicious food & fast service. Eventhough the restaurant filled up by 18h30 & our server was very very busy, she & her team still did their best to keep everything going fast. But they never rushed us. Their catnip cocktail was delicious. The butter chicken poutine was a great surprise. I've had some before, but this one was by far the best one. Their vegetable biriani was also delicious. Their prices make sense for the location & portions are big & have loads of ingredients (the biriani had paneer & soooo many veggies), so the prices make sense to make. Overall, I had a great experience & will be coming back, it was delicious.
Wonderful ambience. Amazing cocktails. Great food. Naan was delicious. We had the lamb rojangosh ,which was perfectly flavored. Lamb was melt in the mouth. Shrimp madras was a bit disappointing. Shrimp a bit rubbery & too much mustard seeds made the dish slightly bitter, but still a decent dish. Would recommend.
