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.

Our experience at Le Pois Penché was far from being bad. However, we just didn’t feel the “it” factor. Even if the food was bland & its presentation was a bit off, the staff was nice & the ambience of the restaurant was pleasantly Parisian enough. Will I go back? Probably not for brunch. Montreal is filled with brunch spots in the same price range & the competition is pretty tight. Le Pois Penché has work to do on the mixtures of different flavours & spices & perhaps, a more modern & captivating version of their plate presentations.

Bon restaurant
Nourriture bonne
Jolie décor
Personnel très sympathique
Première visite dans ce restaurant avec mon copain & ses parents. Disons que nous ne regardions pas à la dépense, alors je ne peux commenter les prix! J'ai quand même eu le souffle coupé quand j'ai vu la carte des vins. La bouteille la moins chère est 75.00$...
Le décor est chaleureux, mais cool en même temps. Le service est au top. La musique était étrange; trop pop. J'aurais plutôt apprécié du jazz dans ce genre d'ambiance.
Il semble que nous ayons eu de la chance, quand nous y étions, d'avoir le maître en huîtres sur place. Nous avons pris une entrée 8 huîtres, avec 4 espèces différentes, toutes plus délicieuses les unes que les autres.
La présentation des assiettes est très jolie, même la soupe aux fruits de mer, qui était délicieuse. Le dessert est exquis & la portion est quand même généreuse.
Je recommande de l'essayer au moins une fois!
Amazing food. But pricey & waitress with an attitude that killed the vibe.
