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!
Great atmosphere, but the food was just okay. The vegetarian dishes were normal & lacked the'wow' factor I expected given the amazing interior. Both the food & drinks felt a bit overpriced for the quality. Beautiful place, but the taste needs to catch up to the ambiance.
Food was nice ,not too spicy not too mild , the perfect balance, the dessert was the catch , we are vegetarians so for starters we had - grilled vegetables (was good) & Chana samosa ( this one was better then prior)
In mains you should definitely try the saag paneer
Ambiance is nice
Great selection of wines
Bar is beautiful
Highly recommend
Just that they should have more vegetarian starters options as me & my husband are heavy drinkers , when out so we like it accompanied by good sides rather than just 2 & endless papadums.
I will a this restaurant a 10/10
My favourite Indian food in the city! It's a full-on sit-down restaurant, which is reflected in the prices, but very reasonable given the great ambiance & amazing quality & taste of the food & drinks.
Service is friendly & quick, food is presented beautifully & it's in a very pleasant accessible location by the old city.
Also the butter chicken poutine is INCREDIBLE (& the lamb korma is a personal fav)
Have gone back many times, & will be back for many more!
WOW, such good & tasty Indian cuisine. It's a little on the more expensive side but that goes with the area as well, near the old port.
The place is neat, clean & big enough to host big groups. They also had some nice wine & drink selection.
The service was also great for a full packed place, waiter was attentive & checking to make sure we had everything.
Food didn't take too long to arrive either & they give you a tasty little appetizer before your meal.
It is definitely worth a visit, you can go out of your way & try this place if you have the budget. It's worth a taste & visit.
I will go again & taste different options from the menu 🤤😋😋
Le 409 is a standout Indian restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Montreal. From the moment you step in, the ambiance captivates with its chic décor blending Indian & Havana influences. The lighting & overall vibe create a warm & inviting atmosphere, perfect for any occasion, be it a business dinner, a romantic evening, or a casual meal with friends.
The food is consistently impressive. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors, yet leaves you feeling light & satisfied. A personal favorite is the coriander lemonade, a refreshing drink not listed on the menu, but the staff graciously prepares it upon request. This level of personalized service speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction.
It's unfortunate that they no longer offer lunch service, as it was a popular spot for my colleagues & I during workdays. However, I understand that operational decisions are influenced by various factors.
In terms of pricing, Le 409 offers excellent value. A typical meal, including a main course with rice, a popadum, & a drink, averages around $45 to $50. Considering the quality of the food, the ambiance, & the impeccable service, it's a reasonable price point.
Overall, Le 409 delivers a delightful dining experience that combines flavorful cuisine with a sophisticated yet comfortable setting. It's a place I wholeheartedly recommend & look forward to visiting again.
Very friendly waitress! Food was absolutely delicious, with the exception of the Korma (which we switched out for a chana masala which was delicieux) it was very sickly sweet - poulet 65, onion bhaji & the lamb tandoori were a hit. Plus we asked the bartender for a couple surprise us drinks & they perfect!
The food is so delicious & the drinks are impeccable. I always recommend this to friends when they ask where to find delicious vegetarian friendly food in Montreal.
My wife & I recently enjoyed an incredible dinner at Le 409, an elegant Indian restaurant in Montreal. We had a dinner reservation & were excited to explore their menu, which did not disappoint. The ambiance at Le 409 is sophisticated yet warm, blending modern décor with traditional Indian accents. The dim lighting & vibrant colors created a cozy atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner. The service was equally impressive, with our server Benjamin providing excellent recommendations & ensuring our dining experience was seamless. For starters to share, we ordered the CHANA SAMOSA-a pastry stuffed with potatoes & spices, topped with chickpea masala. It was so delicious that we immediately ordered another round! The flavors were bold & perfectly balanced, a fantastic way to begin our meal. For our entrée, we opted for family-style sharing & indulged in several flavorful dishes: - BUTTER CHICKEN: Tender marinated chicken cubes in a creamy tomato sauce infused with aromatic spices. - LAMB KORMA: Lamb cubes in a creamy almond & raisin sauce, rich & mildly sweet. - LAMB ROGANJOSH: Lamb cubes cooked in a flavorful curry sauce with yogurt, mint, & spices. - CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA: Chicken cubes in a creamy sauce with onions, tomatoes, & peppers. To complement these dishes, we ordered two servings each of GARLIC NAAN & PILAU RICE, which were the perfect accompaniments to soak up the rich sauces. For drinks, we all had Mango Lassi. It was phenomenal - unlike the overly sweet versions we've had in the U.S., this one was perfectly balanced, allowing the natural flavors of mango & yogurt to shine through. Le 409 exceeded our expectations with its exceptional food, inviting ambiance, & top-notch service. This dinner was a true culinary journey, & we can't wait to return!
