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.
I've been here many times & it's always great. The butter chicken is honestly the best I've had in Montreal-super flavorful & perfectly done every time. The staff is consistently attentive. Place is also beautiful.
I had high hopes for Le 409, given its popularity, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the expectation. While the menu was varied, the flavors just didn't hit the mark for me. Some of the dishes were lacking in depth & seasoning, which was disappointing considering the restaurant's reputation.
That said, the service & atmosphere were top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made the whole dining experience pleasant. The ambiance also stood out-stylish, cozy, & inviting, which made the meal more enjoyable despite the food falling short.
Ultimately, while the environment & service were fantastic, I've had better Indian food at other places that delivered more in terms of flavor & authenticity.
