Le Pegase is our favorite French restaurant in Montreal for ever visit. cozy, intimate, & the perfect place to enjoy an authentic French dining experience.
My husband & I visited at least 3 times during our 3.5 months living in MTL :) Unpretentious, chill, ambient, affordable but with excellent quality of food. They won't rush you like most of the resto by having a dinning time limit, & you can bring your own wine!
I never really went to french bistro after I came back to Vancouver ;( Miss this place so much 🍷

Great for pretending you're in Paris - minus the space, plus the BYOB. 🍷
Parking around this spot can be quite tricky. The food quality is decent - they serve a fixed menu concept, but with enough choices to keep things interesting. Big portion for Asian appetite
To be fair, for the price you pay, the food is more than reasonable. The real highlight is definitely that it is BYOB! We brought 3 bottles with no corkage fee…
The place is extremely small, truly giving off the vibe of a cozy Parisian bistro.
Would I go back? Probably not, since Montreal has so many other great French restaurants to choose from.
The restaurant doesn't open every day, so it's best to make a reservation in advance. It serves very traditional French cuisine with simple but solid ingredients - especially generous portions of meat. The set menu comes to about $80+ per person after tax. The restaurant is quite small but cozy, with a warm atmosphere. Every dish was delicious, & even ordering without much thought felt safe - nothing disappoints here.

Le Pégase is one of the top French restaurants in the city. You get a set menu to choose 4 dishes (soup/salad, entree, main dish & dessert) & meal is priced as per the main course. The dishes are fresh, unique & totally worth the money. The place is incredibly small & usually packed (because of how good it is) which means that it's difficult to have a conversation without overhearing other tables. I would definitely come back here for special occasions.
- Bread: Cold, butter softened, chicken liver pate - phenomenal. I could eat it all.
- Soup. Rutabaga, very clean, flavourful & perfect hotness for the mouth.
- The froe grois: Cold like a stick of butter.
- Creamy, smooth, bread was lightly toast very airy. Apricot citrus balance & roasted peanuts.
- Duck breast: cooked medium, it could be rarer. Flavour was on point. Very full with the potato like root in bottom. Crispy skin. Demi-glaze. Beans carrots & Bok choy.
- Crème brûlée: thin sugar brûlée on top. Creme was creamy with a touch of French vanilla. Maple syrup.
- Chocolate mousse : nice presentation, too sweet. It didn't need the extra caramel or chocolate sauce on top. The peanuts complimented the texture & taste.
The portion size for each dish is very generous. Cost to Quality to quantity 👍🏻👍🏻
We noticed many people brought their own wine to pair with the food.
Food came out quickly, after each dish was served.
Restaurant is very cozy & quaint. There is barely any room between the neighbouring tables. When the server was at the other table, his butt bumped into my arm twice. It was rather firm.
I would Highly Recommend it this restaurant to everyone.
I will come back.
A tiny restaurant in suburban Montreal with the best French bistro food. We loved everything we ate. It is a fixed price 3 course meal & BYO for alcohol
Brilliant French bistro. Incredible four-course dinner. Do remember to bring your own wines as there are seemingly no drinks menu. A sin not to have wine aside.
The Best & Finest French Restaurant in Montreal! I have been dining here for over 20 years & have never been disappointed. It's French Cuisine on another level!

Le Pégase is a great spot for French food! The portions are huge, so you definitely get your money's worth. They have some really unique sauce combinations that make the dishes stand out. From appetiser to dessert!
The lamb rack was amazing-crispy on the outside, super tender & juicy inside. Easily one of the best I've had!
On top of that, the staff is super friendly & makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
A good & small French style restaurant. Bring your own wine since they do not sale wine. The quality/ price ratio was correct. The server didn't ask us how we would like our meat (we had lamb & duck breast), & they were almost raw & unpleasant to eat. Otherwise, thing were ok overall
An expensive but worthwhile French style experience. A great place to celebrate with friends or family. Delicious food made by the talented chef. You pay for an entrée, main meal, & dessert. All of which are high quality & delicious.
Cozy little French restaurant in a calm neighbourhood. Our waiter was very friendly & polite. Food was great, loving the Escargots & Trou Normand a lot. Will recommend.

An authentic French restaurant with great quality & freshness. I'd recommend you to go to this place if you want to try true French culinary delights & cuisine, without having to pay $4-500, like other French fine dinings. Their menu is traditonal & basic rather than too much of artificialities, which I like. Cozy French atmosphere is a plus!
A delicious & memorable dinner! Generous yet sensible portions of classic French cuisine at a very fair price. Impeccable service & a very welcoming & homey environment.
Still one of my favourite restaurants after all these years! Amazing food, great service, affordable prices & BYOW!! Definitely a MUST try if you've never been & love French gastronomy as much as I do!
We had a French 3-Course dinner at Le Pégase with super reasonable price at about $50 CAD. It's not delicate but overall delicious with huge portion. Both of their pork ribs & rack of lamb were cooked perfectly with the right temperature & seasoning.
Highly recommend you book a spot in advance, the restaurant is a little bit small but there is a good amount of seating. I've been here a few times & the authentic French food & service is always great. I recommend bringing your own bottle of wine to go with your food since the restaurant does not have alcohol for purchase. The servers will help you uncork it & put in a container of ice to keep it cool, all free of charge.
