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.

J'ai souvent des commentaires mitigés à propos des restaurants gastronomiques montréalais (trop chers, surfaits, voire prétentieux), mais là je dois dire que j'ai été sous le charme. Un cadre sympa, des chaises confortables, une cuisine inventive époustouflante de justesse, avec des mets de qualité, très bien présentés, vraiment délicieux, les vins bien équilibrés & agréables, & un service vraiment professionnel. Bref, le top, pour un plaisir maximum & un prix raisonnable!
Amongst the best restaurants in town! Excellent service, amazing food & reasonable prices. Good winelist as well. Good vibe at night without being too loud.

I booked the table last night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Tbh, i did not expect much because we are from Asia & I've been to many fine dining in Montreal & the service & food we received is not as good as we get back home. However, last night, Le fillet gave us a beyond Montreal standard. They really put their effort into their work. The food is good, i would definitely go back again to try more dish but the service there oh my, its amazing. Comparing to the price & vibe, its valuable for your money. I really recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good dining place to celebrate special occasion or just having a good time. I give 10 stars to my server last night as well. Thank you!!
Le Filet est situé tout près du Mont-Royal. L'ambiance est charmeur & le personnel est très attentionné. Nous avons pris le tempura au nori & la pieuvre grillé comme entrée. Tous les deux était bien préparé & cuit à point. La pieuvre était tendre & savoureuse. Comme plat principal nous avons pris la bavette de boeuf & la longe d'agneau. Comme un entre les deux nous avons pris les rondelles d'oignon, qui sont cuit au four & non frites. & en finale nous avons pris la tarte chocolat au lait. Tout était fantastique!
Wow, this place hits it out of the park! Even the price is reasonable. One of the most enjoyable dining & drinking experiences of my life. I & a friend both had the beet & raw fish salad, I believe it was jack fish? My friend THOUGHT she hated beets, not anymore! I also had the Negroni made with rye. Excellent! We lucked out & arrived when they weren't busy.
Yesterday I went with my husband to Le filet, The atmosphere is much simpler than we expected. & there's no wall between the kitchen & the bathroom entrances. Is this okay with the health department? The Octopus with Crispy Quinoa was divine.
What a wonderful & excellent experience!!! I have usually a small appetite & all my friends & team worker knows that but this time I couldn't hold myself of eating from each meal everything really everything was extremely tasty ❤?❤?❤? & the service was excellent!! Keep going I will be back soon for sure !! Thank you for this culinary orgasm as we say 😅😅
Le Filet is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Montreal. The service was attentive & thoughtful from start to finish, & the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale & inviting.
If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must. Every dish we tried was incredibly well-executed - light, delicate, & bursting with flavor. You can really taste the care & creativity in each bite.
Pro tip: come hungry, aim for the fish, & definitely leave room for dessert. Trust me - it's worth it.
Highly recommended for a special night out or anyone looking to truly savor the best of what Montreal's culinary scene has to offer.
This place is a gem!!! Quaint little spot with a wonderful atmosphere, incredible food & scrumptious expresso martini. You have to try it. Two thumbs!!!
