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.

Julien connaît très bien son produit ( les huîtres) & c'est un vrai plaisir de converser avec lui. Serviable, professionnel & aimable, il m'a fait découvrir les huîtres & m'a tout appris à leur sujet. Les serveurs sont tous excellents & la cuisine est délicieuse : mention spéciale pour le canard & le paris-brest.

Hier, je suis allée avec mon mari manger au restaurant Le Pois Penché, & je dois dire que nous avons adoré. Dès notre arrivée, Olivier nous a chaleureusement accueillis, & le service de Thibault était exceptionnel. Le chef est vraiment excellent, car tout ce que nous avons mangé était exquis & délicieux. C'est un restaurant à ne surtout pas manquer si vous êtes à Montréal.
