First time at Le Filet & had a tremendous experience. Highly recommend A++ top to bottom helpful & friendly staff, great vibe & delicious meal. Definitely will go back
Loved my time here - we got seats by the counter which gave us a great view of the kitchen. The service staff were fantastic - professional, helpful, & friendly. The food was great with the standouts being the miso oyster (my favorite bite in Montreal) & the honey cake dessert. We spent about 300 for two people (including tip) & reservations were required. Will definitely be back next time!

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!!! ☺️
Easily in the conversation for the best restaurant in Montreal... I visit probably 4-6 times a year & it never misses.. The miso gratin oysters ARE the best app in the city, prove me wrong. Staff & service is as strong as the food.
I think this maybe one of my new favourite restaurants here . The service was amazing & every dish that came out was not only visually pleasing but it even tasted better than it looked. Theu choice of oysters , raw & cooked is the definition of fine dining . Every dish that we order did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place to take anyone you're to impress with the Montreal food scene.
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.

Great for special occasions! Attentive service. We loved the corn soup & cod special main with parmesan risotto, suateed chanterelles, broccoli puree. Onion rings were a hit too!
Un excellent restaurant qui se démarque par sa carte majoritairement autour du poisson. La pieuvre en entrée était succulente, les pates à l'encre de sèche aussi. C'est tres fin avec des saveurs recherchées. Le service était impeccable à notre table, discret, à l'écoute, organisé ... rare. Belle selection de vins mais beaucoup trop chère selon moi... Proposer une liste de vins au verre plus abordable serait une bonne idée.
