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.

Excellent classic french restaurant. My duck could have used a little less salt, but it was still delicious. A better choice than the old town places.View more
We were quickly seated at the bar despite not having a reservation. The dishes we got were all very good, with the duck confit being a highlight. Friendly & accommodating staff. I would definitely go back!View more
Amazing fare. The ceviche, cod cakes, duck confit & hanger steak were excellent a few loud American troglodytes on the patio not withstanding.View more
Très belle expérience!! Des mets au service en passant par l'ambiance tout est excellent!! Mention spéciale pour le chef de salle Mehdi qui est au taquet ,& veille au grain !!View more
Ambience was amazing. Food was tasty & fresh & good size portions. We enjoyed the Bouillablaisse, crab cakes & the lamb steak. Our host was very friendly & answered all our questions. However, we did have to wait about 20min after being seated to get water & bread basket. & it was very warm inside the restaurant even with the windows/doors open. Maybe ceiling fans could help (summer time). We will definitely return but book outdoor patio when weather is hot.View more

First time visit at Le Pois Penche & certainly it won't be last. Love the atmosphere & vibe of the restaurant. We were seated close to the kitchen & you could feel the warmth & energy of the chefs hard at work. Our waiter was amazing & offered great suggestions! We mainly went there for the oysters & some appetizers. I ended get the New York steak which was cooked to perfection! The French bread was a nice starter & it was nice & warm ! Overall 5 stars all around! Bravo 👏View more
