Info & Location
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.

Très bien comme place. Service impeccable & personnel, bien joué & appliqué. Ce restaurant n'est pas pas pour les petits budget par contre, vérifiez les prix. Une suggestion: tant qu'à faitr payer 15$ pour une bière, il serait bien d'offrir une bière de micro locale originale, nous en avons d'excellente à Montréal ( Brewskey, Messorem, Toltek). Nourriture excellente & qui vaut le prix ( cest relatif! ). Il est à noter qu'une très belle salle de réception privée est disponible & conviviale pour 50 personnes au sous sol. Bref, je recommande pour une soirée chic avant un concert ou bien pour souligner un anniversaire etc.View more

Je viens de redecouvrir cet établissement au travers de sa table d'hôte du midi. Une cuisine avec de l'imagination, vraiment bien faite & délicieuse, pour un rapport qualité prix intéressant. Les bouchées à la reine aux escargots de l'entre étaient un bonheur : un plat qu'on aimerait aussi retrouver à la carte.View more
Alexandre
Très bon ! Resto typique pour le monde snob qui gagnent plus que que l'reste du monde, mais le staff est cap d'être terre à terre. Nourriture classique du type pour le ±60$, sans plus. Les plats 150$+ sont une autre classe & eux, impressionnent. AlexView more

Musique ambiante qui ne va pas avec le style chic du restaurant. Heureusement, ils ont accepté de changer. Le serveur n'a aucune expérience sur l'accord mets-vin. Ils a de la difficulté à nous conseiller Nous prenons une bouteille de bulles à 245$, mais impossible d'avoir le filet mignon en croûte de pistache, sur le menu St-Valentin, parce que l'ensemble de la table ne le prend pas. Nous étions 4. Mais, si nous étions assis à deux table différentes ça aurait été possible... Steak, tout juste acceptable. Tartare, bon, mais certainement pas le meilleur. Il y avait longtemps que nous voulions y aller. C'est fait. Y retournerai-je? Non. 430$ plus pourboire. Trop cher !View more

We flew from Toronto to Montreal to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago. Stayed only 2 nights one of which had to include Le Pois Penché for dinner. It was amazing as always! Beautiful shrimp then we had the Steak Frites, the meat was so tender & tasty & the frites were heaven! Wonderful wine, beautiful atmosphere & superb service! Every trip back home I have to drop in its that special. Thx to LPP...ChantalView more

We randomly entered the place yesterday with my husband & sat at the bar. The food was great & the atmosphere too. The salmon tartare was AMAZING!!!!! The service from Clermont at the bar was THE BEST & one that we hadn't experienced in a very long time. Extremely friendly, social, helpful. Definitely we are coming back!!View more

Prepare yourself for a below standard of quality of food for the money, I had a NY steak with fries & mushrooms for $75 that you would get the same at Denis restaurant in my opinion, the bread was amazing! The service on the other hand, was brutal, severely short staff, we waited for an hour for our bill.View more
Denise
Salmon tartare & salad were fresh & tasty. Service staff very pleasant. Meal took a little while to come, perhaps due to the time ( 1:00pm) of our reservationView more

This is a pricey option for a brunch, the food was quite good but I would dare to say that the unique dishes are way tastier than the traditional ones. The viennoiseries are okay & the ambience is really calm. I would recommend it if you want to have a nice family brunch.View more
