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.

Quelle belle découverte que ce restaurant! Nous avons visité Le Pois Penché en équipe pour le lunch, & tout le monde a adoré. Il y avait un menu spécial en l'honneur du Pays basque, & les plats étaient à la fois appétissants, originaux, & surtout délicieux. L'ensemble du groupe a été conquis, & nous avons déjà prévu de revenir. Personnellement, j'ai hâte d'y retourner pour un souper, car si le dîner était aussi savoureux, je suis curieuse de découvrir plus de cet établissement. L'intérieur est magnifique, avec une attention particulière portée au confort des clients. Les sièges sont très confortables & l'atmosphère chaleureuse. Le service était globalement excellent, mais j'ai été un peu déçu qu'un serveur tente de débarrasser mon assiette alors que je n'avais pas encore terminé. Bien que mes collègues aient fini leur repas, je prenais encore mon temps &, avec ma fourchette en main, il a pris mon assiette sans s'en rendre compte. Ce n'était qu'un léger accroc dans une expérience sinon impeccable.View more

Our server was so kind to us. We were there celebrating my wife's university graduation & the experience was so nice. Food was incredible. Price points were in line with the incredible quality of ingredients & cuisine, but not overly expensive compared to what you might find downtown.View more

We stumbled onto this lovely place for lunch after a visit to the art museum. It truly felt like a trip to a top restaurant in Paris! Delicious food-possibly the best frites I've ever had anywhere-& a terrific & knowledgeable waiter. My husband's oysters & moules frites were memorable, & our wines were lovely.View more
