Review Summary

Le Filet is widely regarded as a premier dining destination in Montreal, celebrated for its refined seafood-focused menu and creative culinary execution. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its exceptional service, noting that the staff is professional, attentive, and consistently welcoming. While the atmosphere is frequently described as chic, cozy, and vibrant, some guests have noted that the space can become quite noisy when full and that portion sizes may be small relative to the price point.

What a gem of a restaurant. The meal was one of the best I've had in years (fish of the day & the maple dessert were standouts) & the service was excellent throughout. Special thanks to Sarah who was knowledgeable & delightful in equal measure.

A great night out. We had their oysters as a starter - 3 different kinds. Plain, crackling maple & miso au gratin, & it was hard to decide which were the best. Then we shared an off-menu plate of gnocchi that was to die for. For main courses I had an Icelandic cod with truffles that was incredible & my partner had a melt-in-your mouth beef cheek. Dessert was a delicious maple square.

They don't advertise much as it seems they have enough of a loyal following to stay busy every night & to catch the attention of Michelin.

Two absolute highlight dishes were the halibut entrée & the maple Square dessert. As an octopus lover, I ordered it also but found it mediocre. Overall, everything that was recommended to us was divine & our service was excellent. We sat at the counter & it was a totally suitable dining environment for two - good for being conversational with the staff even. High-quality wine list.

One of the best customer services I have had in Montreal! Too bad we did not ask his name, but he was very kind & knowledgeable for the drinks & the dishes. All of his recommendations were on point! (All of their wine recommendations indeed satisfied all of us!).

Oysters were not only fresh but it was also quite chunky 😋. I really recommend grilled octopus too! It was soft & seasoned very well. All the main dishes we had was super tasty too.

Lastly, you cannot not take the famous maple square! It was perfect to end our course 😁

Overall, it was 10 out of 10! We all really loved the vibe of the restaurant. I really liked that it was not too loud(probably we were the loudest table idk😅), & just by the fact the how good customer service it was, it is definitely worth to try!

Really great. Fast, friendly service. All four appetizers were wonderful: tuna tartare, smoked salmon, yellow tail & octopus. We loved our squid ink pasta & fish specials. Excellent maple square dessert. Top ten Montreal dining experience.

What a beautiful place with the best service/staff! Everything was great, the lobster ravioli with sweetbreads was amazing. The maple syrup square made me think about my grandma's sugar fudge (delicious). Thank you!!! ☺️

Finally had the chance to try the famous restaurant where you go after your tennis session. It is also a place I highly recommend if your looking for the best service in town & the best variety of fancy plates. Going there, we tried a lot of what is offered on the menu. To start, we ordered the miso gratin oysters. These are one the best things I tried in my life. It is a perfect combination of sweet & sea taste. After, we tried the cold corn soup with foie gras. It was very unctuous & fresh. We then ordered the octopus plate & the wagyu tataki. The octopus was not to squeaky & not to hard, perfectly smooth when we bit it. The wagyu was nothing to special but it was well cooked (medium rare). Moreover, we ordered the linguine plate, the lobster pastas plate & the gemilli pastas plate. All three were amazing. The linguine plate was not as good as the Daily catch restaurant do it but take it if you're an amateur with this kind of plate. I didn't really taste the lobster in the pastas but the sweetbreads that comes with it are my second favorite thing I ate between all the plates we ordered. The veel cheek that came with the gemelli pastas was very tender & tasty. Finally, I tried the maple syrup square as dessert. It was very simple but very comforting & not to heavy.

I ordered the seafood linguini, the braised short ribs, the oysters (au gratin?), & the maple syrup square. Definitely the closest to a 10/10 meal that I've had in MTL. Also, very agreeable staff.
