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.

Nous avons célébré notre fête de fin d'année de bureau au restaurant Le Pois Penché samedi dernier & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. ⭐?

Un immense merci à Youssef, Mehdi & Loïc pour leur service impeccable : attentifs, professionnels & toujours prêts à anticiper nos besoins. Ils se sont adaptés sans problème à nos demandes de dernière minute & ont su offrir un service rapide & chaleureux.

Les repas étaient délicieux, servis chauds & de grande qualité. La salle de réception est superbe, parfaite pour une soirée corporative ou tout type d'événement.

Je recommande fortement Le Pois Penché pour une expérience mémorable ! 👏✨

Premier repas dans ce restaurant,

Les points positifs :
- Un très bel accueil, un personnel attentif & avenant
- Nous avons bénéficié d'un très bon service, en adéquation avec le prix demandé
Côté repas:
- les entrées : escargots: plat très bon avec de belles portions & une belle vaisselle.

les points négatifs : les plats
Les moules étaient bonnes, mais une quantité assez limitée.
& le tartare de boeuf: juste impossible de reconnaître la viande, un assaisonnement non maîtrisé qui simplement dénature & efface le produit. J'adore ce plat, je le prends assez fréquement, & c'est la première fois que je n ai pas été capable d'en manger plus que la moitié.
Au final plus de 200$ avec les taxes, entrées & plats pour deux, avec un verre de chablis chacun.

Alors ce n'était peut-être pas le meilleur soir pour la cuisine.
