Overall, Le 409 is often described as a dependable, high quality dining experience with consistent food, great service, and a welcoming vibe.
Our first night in Montreal & we found this incredible gastro bar serving my all time favorite combination of Indian food & cocktails. I'm not sure if the crafted cocktails were better or if the fantastic Indian food was the winner. My family had a fabulous dining experience with some of the friendliest service & most flavorful food & drinks we've had in a while. I would highly recommend Le 409 to anyone traveling to Montreal.
What a wonderful Indian restaurant! The ambiance is very chic & the food is delicious. It was not too spicy, it was just perfect. Their garlic naan is really good. Decent prices as well. We will definitely be back!
The wife & I decided to try this restaurant tonight after seeing it when walking past the other day. I'm glad we did. Back home in the UK, my go-to Indian meal is a chicken tikka massala. So I tried it at the 409, & it was fantastic. The flavour was different from English tikka massala's, but I thought that it was actually better. My wife had the lamb Korma, & she thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The service we had from both our servers (sorry, can't remember there names), was top notch. I liked the little extra piece of hospitality of them taking our coats as we entered the restaurant. It's a small thing, but I liked that.
I have been to this location multiple times & I have enjoyed it every single time. They offer great selection of Indian fusion cuisine with friendly service. They also offer good variety of cocktails. They offer Raita, onions with tomato sauce served with cumin papadum as a welcome. We ordered Chana Samosa & Bhajee d'Oignons for appetizers & Butter Chicken, Lamb Korma, Chicken Korma, Butter Chicken, Lamb Biryani for entrée. I enjoyed every bite of our food & my favorite was Lamb Korma; it has a sweet taste that I don't normally go for, but was very delicious.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The place was full & it felt good to see so many people enjoying Indian food in Montreal. However the food was no where close to Indian, everything was overly sweet (& this is after me asking for the highest level of spice possible) so as an Indian the food felt weird.
At one point I did enjoy the butter chicken poutine as a French-Indian dish & it worked in my head for a bit. What I loved were the cocktails. Really nice ambience too.
Went there on a weekday night. Wasn't too busy & could get a table without reservation. This is not your regular Indian restaurant. The taste is unlike other Indian restaurants you would go to in Montreal. We ordered veggie tandoor & chicken 65. We weren't a big fan of either. However, the drinks are a different story. Definitely a place to hang out with your friends for a couple of drinks & socialize. Maybe not so much for a dinner if you are looking for a typical Indian dinner outing.
Great service, restaurant & food. Need reservations in advance as its a busy place. Quantity & taste is good as compared to Indian rosa & Nawab according to price.

Do not recommend having indian food at this restaurant. There are way better Indian restaurants out their in Montreal. The spices were bland with no flavours & way too expensive.
Also there was no respect of time given despite us making reservations online. All the naan breads that were served were either burnt or cold, food colour was added to chicken tikka masala.
Not worth spending your money on this restaurant. Fine dining with no real indian taste.
Great vibe, great service! Simple menu, with delicious proper Indian food. Serving size was perfect & food was amazing. Nice for a cocktail, or two, as well!
See you next time!
The service at Le 409 was remarkable. During these difficult times they make it comforting. The food was delicious, we love Indian food & this was among the best we've had. The cocktails were excellent as well.
