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.

Top place for oysters! Julian is not only an expert shucker- he is a true sommelier. Beside this, there are Unique menu items like walleye fish, wonderful wine selection, fresh soups, but the service & atmosphere are what really will bring you back. Our waiter engaged us & helped us discover some of the best gems on the menu. Highly recommended, our favorite restaurant in Montreal!View more

Amazing service, food & atmosphere. Probably one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. The escargot was delicious. (First time trying it). Oysters were fresh with a large selection. Steak was delicious & perfectly cooked. Will definitely be returning. The fresh bread they serve is absolutely delicious. 10/10.View more

Rating this place a 5 star does not actually do justice to the amazing hospitality the team here delivers. For the second night running, my wife & I had dinner here & we were not disappointed. Right from the door, Olivier greeted us warmly as he could pick out our faces from the previous day. My wife ordered the Atlantic Salmon which was perfect. I had ordered the Classic beef but when it came, it was not what I had in mind. Clement took it upon himself to order something else for me - steak. He added a side of salad. All this at no extra cost. To say I left happier than I came in is an understatement. Thanks to Clement & all the team that keep making clients happy.View more

Just absolutely incredible for food & service. My wife & I were thoroughly spoiled & every dish was a masterpiece. I want to give a special thank you to our server Andrew who was not only an absolute delight to meet but a wealth of knowledge about the food. Every dish he recommended was spectacular, I don't know that I have ever enjoyed better food & service anywhere else. Truly an amazing experience. Thank you Andrew & thank you Le Pois Penche.View more
