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.

Went here to celebrate an anniversary with my other half & we loved the food & the service. We got a lot of laughs interacting with staff. If some small mishaps became a funny & memorable experience. Can't wait to make a trip back here next time we are in town!View more
Lovely lunch at the bar with Clementine. He was a great help with his recommendations for both food & wine. We had the oysters & mussels. Both very fresh & delicious. The atmosphere was was very beautiful & I highly recommend this, as the price was very fair for the quality of the food & wine & service.View more
Revised rating following defensive response of the establishment (only the stars are changed not the content, but we won't go back to this restaurant anymore ) : Overall a good French restaurant in Downtown Montreal. The typical French food with a correct quality/price ratio & generous portions. The majority of the customers are not local. However, the service was actually disappointing & unprofessional & the guy didn't care & we had to ask for every single thing (eg. Water, bread, salt, etc)View more
