Excellent restaurant pour son ambiance, sa cuisine raffinée & son excellent service, je vous le recommande pour un souper d'amoureux ou une rencontre conviviale. Le seul bémol est l'addition qui est au-dessus de 100 $.

I dined at Le Pois Penché on Monday, March 30, at 17:30 & overall had a very enjoyable experience that lived up to its reputation for classic French cuisine with a refined Montreal touch.

My party of two, opted for the special two part meal for 49$ per person. Istarted with the escargot & cod balls as entrées. The escargot were rich & buttery, exactly what was expected -well-seasoned & served piping hot. Maybe au gratin could have been an option. A nice chefs touch was that in my 6 place dish I received 8 pieces ☺?

The cod balls were a pleasant surprise: light, crispy on the outside, & soft & flavorful inside, with a nice balance that didn't feel too heavy. The aioli was on pont, I could maybe not pick & say that I could have used more of that aioli.

For mains, I had the duck confit while my guest chose the mussels. The duck confit was beautifully prepared-tender, fall-off-the-bone, with a perfectly lightly crisp skin. The skin could have been crispy'er. The mussels were fresh & generously portioned, served in a flavorful cream broth that was made for soaking up with bread.

The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, with a classic bistro feel that makes it suitable for both special occasions & relaxed dinners. We reserved & yet we received a table next to the open kitchen. A spot here when the kitchen would be busy, & the dinning room full could be good. However with things calm we could hear a bit too much kitchen & not much cooking to see. Service was attentive & lightly professional, though at times slightly slower than expected, which with the other mentions is the reason this isn't a full 5-star experience.

Overall, a strong 4-star meal so ( 4.25 star )Le Pois Penché delivers high-quality French cuisine in a charming setting, & I would definitely return-especially for that duck confit, & mussels.

Note that a 5 star rating from me is possible, however it has to be almost perfect. This restaurant is very close.

Good food, they changed the menu. Nothing out of this world, just really solid. Service was really good, & the ambiance was very french bistro. They have coat stands to put your jacket.
Bathroom is only one, so you might have to wait a bit to use the washroom.

Excellent service, le serveur Marco était très sympathique & courtois, ainsi que le maître d'hôtel Hugo qui connaît bien les vins. L'ambiance est charmante, chaleureuse, agréable & conviviale. Pour un souper en amoureux, c'est exquis & je le recommande fortement. La nourriture est absolument délicieuse, de l'apéritif au dessert. De plus, pour notre anniversaire de couple, la maison nous a offert les desserts.

Duck confit was absolutely delicious. Oysters & salmon as part of the seafood platter were fresh. Maybe skip the prawn as it wasn't as flavorful. Overall a delicious meal & I will return!

I went to this beautiful restaurant & had such a lovely waiter that showed great hospitality. It was so nice that I returned a few days later with my husband & sat at the bar. What a different experience. The young woman tending the bar was brusque, condescending & started spray cleaning the bar on either side of us after we ordered dessert! We were well within closing time but I guess she wanted to start her cleaning early. Not great.
