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.

Amazing French Restaurant, our server Clement was one of the best we've had. A memorable experience! The Duck Confit, Steak Frites were excellent!View more
This is my first time having dinner here & was spontaneous so I didn't know what to expect... but I really enjoyed my dinner!! It was quite good. Our waiter was nice, but the service time was a bit slow. I like the look of the restaurant, I think it has a good vibe. I'd come again to try something else :)View more

The food here exceeded our expectations in both presentation & taste. Everything was absolutely delicious & beautifully prepared. The service was attentive & efficient, & the atmosphere was very pleasant, not too loud. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner!View more
DO NOT SIT AT THE BAR. If you do, you have the chance of being seated near a male customer who will not take "no" for an answer. He is apparently a daily regular & the staff seem to tolerate him well, but I ended up being cornered in a very awkward conversation. When he started saying racist things about his Mexican-American in-laws, I begged for the bill & left behind an expensive glass of wine & half-eaten dinner. The food was very fine, but my memory of this place will always be how uncomfortable I was made to feel while I was there.View more
Fantastic service & delicious French onion soup! Cool vibe & hot spot to check out.View more
Weekend branch menu is boring. The seafood was done badly, had mussels which were cooked unevenly. Some mussels were well done, half were raw. The sauce was like water, boring & plain. The fries were burned. Was amazed by the waiter who was standing & staring how much I would tip. After the paying he silently walked away, I guess my tip was not enough. No goodbyes or anything, oh well.View more
