Excellent restaurant, avec un menu simple, mais super,en plus on peu amener son vin,les entrées & les plats sont vraiment très bon, rien à dire, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés, mais surtout pensé à réserver 👍
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.
Such a gem in Montreal! Very affordable BYOW (wine only!!), set menu option. My friends & I really enjoyed it, & the staff was really delightful. Everyone loved this place, & this is certainly a highlight of our trip.
Très bon souper, petite salle à manger (température un peu chaude en journée de canicule). Les plats étaient tous très bien & le service aussi.
Seul bémol: lors du paiement, on nous demande d'insérer une carte car'la machine ne fonctionne pas pour taper'. On nous mentionne aussi que le restaurant n'accepte pas les Amex malgré que ça fonctionne parfaitement dans les deux cas.
Sur la recommandation d'un ami, nous avons découvert ce petit bijou de la cuisine française. Derrière une façade discrète se cache un véritable paradis gastronomique ! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis comme chez des amis : chaleureusement, avec respect & attention.
Le stationnement étant limité, le propriétaire n'a pas hésité à déplacer sa propre voiture pour nous faire de la place - un geste rare & tellement apprécié. Le service est rapide : à peine le temps d'échanger quelques mots que les entrées arrivaient déjà sur la table.
Nous étions cinq convives, & chacun a été conquis par son plat, tous dignes d'un cinq étoiles ! Pour ma part, j'ai choisi le carré d'agneau : parfaitement assaisonné, tendre à souhait. Mon ami, lui, a été agréablement surpris par le canard - une viande souvent difficile à cuire sans la dessécher, ici fondante & savoureuse.
Autant dire que l'expérience culinaire dans son ensemble a été tout simplement parfaite, tant sur le plan gustatif que sur le plan humain. Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant : venez avec votre famille, vos amis & pourquoi pas une bonne bouteille de vin rouge de votre cave personnelle. Mais surtout, n'oubliez pas de réserver à l'avance !

We've been to Le Pegase several years ago & was really impressed by their food in term of their taste & presentation. The soup/salad, appetizer & entree are at expectation. I especially like their bison steak, the meat is medium-rare on top of meshed sweet potatoes, beans & bok choy. However, the pavlova was too hard to eat, kind of like over baked meringue. & the dessert of the day is three mini-chocolate puff, that can be easily get !at Costco. Anyway, the waiter was polite & efficient. The overall experience is nice.
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
Nestled in-between homes was this cute & cozy restaurant. Everything from the starters to the dessert were great! I tried the beef profiteroles, joue de boeuf & the tarte tartin. My husband had the bison bavette for his main but was a bit disappointed with the flavour - it did not taste like bison, it tasted like beef. He had the pavlova for dessert - it is hard to choose which was the better dessert option - the tartin or the pavlova as they were both great!
The cons of the evening were the service - the waiters didn't take time to explain the menu options even though the menu is small & they aren't very attentive (they didn't
refill our water unless we asked them to). The AC also was not on so it was very hot & sticky inside the restaurant.
Overall - great food & we would recommend this BYOW restaurant!
