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!
Went to 409 last week. Order the samosas & Butter Chicken they are amazing! Found the lamb korma average (needs to be spicier). But all portion sizes were good & the food was inexpensive for a restaurant in downtown Montreal.
Will definitely return.

The reviews for this place are super mixed, so if you're looking for an honest review, here it is!
They have tons of vegetarian options, & any meat dishes were offered in fish, lamb or chicken!
The butter chicken- Was smooth, spiced perfectly & offered a good amount of protein for the price. I personally like a little bit more spice, but was good for the others at my table who couldn't handle spice! A'died down' version of butter chicken that still packs a punch.
Chicken Tikka Masala- Decadent, well seasoned curry. There was a good amount of chicken for its price, this wasn't a crowd favourite but still a good dish the table somewhat enjoyed. Though there was nothing wrong with it exactly, just when compared to other tikka masala's it doesn't stand out.
Other dishes such as Aloo Gobi (cauliflower & potato curry), the chicken tikka, & all of the appetizers were good & frankly very delicious, but nothing Noteable to write about them.
The naan & rice were both good, steamy & fluffy, you can't go wrong with them! The rice had many components like peas & extra seasonings, which was super tasty, but we just wish a regular white rice option was clearly made available.
The garlic naan was delicious, & i recommend it over the regular!
- Only complaint i have about the rice & naan is that they both must be ordered as side dishes, upping the cost.
The desserts were fine, the flan cake was tasty but maybe if we return we probably won't have it again. Though it was tasty, had an eggy smooth taste, only order it if you're a big flan lover.
The donuts were good, but 6$ for 2 tiny donut balls smaller than Timbits was a little much.
The staff was kind, service was FAST, & the atmosphere of this place is incredible, you couldn't even guess it was an Indian place.
-Overall, this restaurant is great for those new to Indian food. If you're looking for authentic, spicy Indian cuisine, this wouldn't be the place i recommend. But- that doesn't mean we left dissatisfied. None of the food we had here was disappointing, all of it was tasty & nobody left hungry.
Would i come here again?- Yeah, but i would only really order the butter chicken & garlic naan, avoid any other dish I've already tried, & explore the menu a bit more. This place is great to come to 1-2 times, perhaps with family or co workers, but anymore i would have to pass.
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 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!
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.
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.
