Had very nice French-Japanese meal at Restaurant Le Filet in Montréal Mile End neighbourhood. Food was excellent, ambience & service was good! Reservation recommended. Expensive fine dining restaurant, but food was good. Hope to visit again when in Montreal!
Here for GP weekend & found this gem doing some quick research. Glad I did! Wonderful time with our bartender Steven & great hospitality from everyone else. The food matched their exceptional hospitality & it would be a treat to come again soon. Go & have a great time! Oh & don't forget the oysters!!!!
J'étais tres impatiente d'essayer ce restaurant & je dois admettre que ça m'a dessus... - javais encore faim apres avoir mangé entrée + main + dessert tellement que les portions étaient petites. Par contre les saveur étaient la & les plats que nous avons gouté etaient vraiment bons. - on s'est senti snobé par le serveur qui etait visiblement plus focusé a servir la table de filles d'à côté. Meme si il a donné de bonnes recommendations pour le vin, il s'est presque servi un verre plein pour goûter. Qu'il s'est tranquillement siroter pendant le service... - & la salle etait quand même assez bruillante, difficile d'apprécier une repas romantique. Conclusion: pour ce type de budget, vous pouvez trouver de boen meilleure restaurant qui ne vous decevront pas.
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.
Top tier food & service. A fusion of Japanese & French cuisine. Highly recommended! Make sure you reserve a table a head of time as restaurant gets full quickly.
The experience at Le Filet was overall good but a little bit underwhelming. The decor is not extremely arranged, it looks pretty simple even if overall is stylish, the staff is nice but on of the waiter a little bit too nosy & pretentious with a patronizing vibe. The food is good but I liked more the started than the main course, tuna tataki vs pork with scallops. Overall we paid around 340 cad (taxes & tips included) for two courses each, a shared dessert & a bottle of red wine, too expensive afor the experience we had but still a nice restaurant.
J'ai adoré les huîtres, à essayer!! Le carpaccio aussi était délicieux, mais j'ai été très déçue par la bavette de boeuf. Difficile à mâcher, & pour le prix, les portions sont décevantes.
Decent food overall. The oysters are exceptional. Main dishes are not perfect: cod is kind of bland while a bit overly peppered. Desserts & cocktails are delightful.
