About us

Paris may be an ocean away, but the art of casual French bistro dining is not lost at Le Pois Penché in the heart of downtown Montréal.

The menu reads like a who’s-who of Parisian comfort food favourites, with beloved classics the likes of steak tartare and duck confit in mustard sauce alongside an array of spectacular seafood platters. Boasting one of the most interesting wine collections in the city, Le Pois Penché offers an impressive selection of imported bottles and wines by the glass.  

This authentic French brasserie delivers fine cuisine in simple opulence: plush red velvet, checkerboard floor tile, crystal chandeliers, large paintings and a blackboard listing the daily specials on the wall. In the middle, a large bar; around it, busy waiters flitting to and from, outfitted in the traditional white shirt, black vest and apron. French bistro, through and through.

Le Pois Penché’s terrasse buzzes with animated conversation while its private banquet rooms reserve their splendour for group functions. Le Cellier, in particular, offers a sumptuous venue for events up to 70 guests, with vibrant Parisian settings by artist Pierre Pivet, a vaulted brick ceiling, and the restaurant’s prized wine cellars displayed behind sleek glass panels. Connected to the brasserie, Salon Chez Swann, in the boutique hotel of the same name, is ideal for groups of 24 guests or less.

Great food, very attentive service
They are experts on their oysters & very willing to give pairing recommendations from their extensive wine list.
The parisien seafood platter was perfectly portioned for two people. We started with the escargot - the parsley in the butter was a very nice addition. We finished with the chocolate fondant & a couple of café affogato. Would love to come back on our next trip to MontrealView more

We were invited to dinner & ordered the seafood platter as an appetizer. Unfortunately, it was a letdown. The mussels were the smallest you can find on the market, & they made up half the platter. The oysters were also tiny. For a platter priced over $200, you'd expect premium seafood-not undersized shellfish taking up space.

For my main dish, I ordered mussels in cream sauce, & again, the same miniature mussels were served. It's disappointing to see a so-called top-tier restaurant cut corners like this. At this price point, quality should be a given. It wasn't.View more

Première visite au Pois Penché, & certainement pas la dernière !
Nous avons été très satisfaits de notre expérience. Le choix des plats était varié & appétissant, & tout ce que nous avons goûté était délicieux. Le service était impeccable, particulièrement la personne en charge de notre table, qui a été attentionnée & professionnelle tout au long du repas.
Nous avons également eu l'agréable surprise d'assister à une performance de Matt Mardini pendant la soirée. Une ambiance musicale exceptionnelle qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus mémorable.

Un moment parfait du début à la fin.View more

We went twice during our trip & would recommend to anyone! We first went for lunch & had the best French onion soup I've ever had in my life. Our waiter Andrew was wonderful & so kind as to recommend several other dishes, so we ended up changing our dinner plans the final night of our trip to return.

The salmon tartare, mushroom cavatelli, lamb steak, & profiteroles were all 10/10. Big thank you to both Andrew & Tony for top notch service & recommendations!View more

Service presqu'impeccable! Rapide & attentionné, un ptit oublie au départ qu'on a vite fait de me faire oublier.
Nourriture: pâte fraîche & champignons. bon dessert & café goûteux.
Très bel arrêt sur une terrasse parfois bruyante, normal! nous sommes sur la rue.View more

We found this restaurant on open table after a drive from the airport on a Monday evening & booked immediately. The food (duck confit & lamb) were delicious! The cocktails were amazing. & even though they appeared to be a bit understaffed, service was prompt & friendly. Highly recommend! Oh, & try the creme brulée! It's perfect!View more

Pour une première fois c'était impeccable malgré une erreur de réservation de ma part, l'équipe, courtoise & réactive, a su arranger la situation avec souplesse en ajoutant des places à notre table.
Leur menu comporte énormément d'option, je reviendrais plutôt que prévus.View more

The oysters especially the petite ones were the perfect texture & size, the horseradish freshly graded & pomegranates brought things up a notch. The bread was delicious the right level between soft & crisp. The tiki cocktail had quite a few unique flavors I would definitely try it. The star of the drinks was an espresso martini just tasted like straight perfect expresso. The hangar steak with the shallot red wine sauce was out of the this world especially the sauce I could not stop dipping my fries in it. The homemade cavatelli with mushrooms porcini & truffle cream was flavorful creamy but not too heavy or earthy. The service was great & the staff were friendly. I would definitely go back.View more
