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.

La brasserie parisienne a une carte avec une selection variée & des saveurs locales. Un grand écran est ouvert, durant la saison du hockey. Les serveurs sont courtois.

Absolutely amazing experience! Marwa took care of me so well! I had such a delicious meal! I highly recommend the oysters & smoked salmon (it's not salty!! Just right) with the baguette. The dessert was so yummy too! 100% would come back!

My friends & I were sat in front of the Oyster Bar on April 18th & we were delighted by the hands on process & care of the staff here. Brilliant & gracious service, everything was a delicious experience & we all would go again in a HEARTBEAT. We can't recommend this place enough. Well worth the price attached for this phenomenal experience.

They forgot to bring us the menu for a very looong time, we only got it once they came to take our order. This delayed our evening.

Which was disappointing, because after we finished eating we were ask to leave so they could sit someone else at the table.
