On our last night in Montreal last Monday we wanted to experience a really good French restaurant.
?Le Pois Penché delivers everything you want from an authentic French brasserie: a warm ambiance, rich comforting classics, & top-tier hospitality.
?We kicked off our meal with the escargots & the French onion soup. The escargots were rich & fragrant with garlic & butter, while the soup was deeply savory, capped with a perfectly broiled, bubbly blanket of Gruyère. For our main, the duck confit was cooked to perfection-crispy skin on the outside, incredibly tender & succulent on the inside. A glass of Côtes du Rhône brought the whole meal together, cutting through the richness of the duck beautifully.
?We finished the evening with the crème brûlée flambée au Grand Marnier-tableside drama with a warm, subtle citrus note cutting through the velvety custard beneath a crackling sugar crust-paired with a smooth decaf oat milk latte.
?A special shoutout to our waiter, Ian, who made the evening truly memorable. His attentiveness, warmth, & excellent timing elevated the entire dining experience. We will definitely be returning!

We really had a great dinner. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. They ran out of duck confit which was disappointing but the hanger steak was super. The strawberry dessert was also excellent. We eat out a lot & this place is one of the best.

Emma was amazing! Her recommendations for these two Americans wanting an authentic French gustatory experience were spot on! I was reticent to try duck, having been disappointed when I tried it in America, only to find the dish bursting with flavor! Her wine pairing recommendations completed the experience! We went for dinner but found, at Emma's table, we were in for one our favorite all time dining experiences! It rivaled tasting menus we have had! If you get the chance, eat here & ask for Emma!

My daughter treated me dinner at le Pois Penche for our last meal in Montreal. We tried the Dine Early Menu 5-5:45p

Each dish is execute very well given the price point. We ordered the cod cakes & escargot as appetizers & 2 duck confit.

I think it is better than most places in Toronto that offered Summerlicious & Winterlicious menu.

Our server is also very attentive & friendly.

Overall a very enjoyable dining experience for the both of us.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner. I had halibut & my husband had duck. Both were delicious & a good amount of food. Atmosphere was nice & service was top notch. Also had a great wine list.

Unreal duck confit, unreal service & vibe. The live singer walking around the restaurant was a superb touch.

Delightful French Brasserie-Style Restaurant
It was our last night in Montreal before taking our flight to the UK & we chose this delightful restaurant for an early evening meal. We were really warmly greeted by the team & Marwa gave us the most wonderful, friendly service. We sat at the bar to eat. The restaurant is smart, light & has a really nice, laid-back ambiance.

The menu is Parisian brasserie-style & had a really good choice of dishes.

My choices:

- A selection of oysters, freshly shucked in front of us

- Duck confit: fingerling potatoes, Brussels sprouts, smoked duck lardons, peppercorn sauce

- Profiteroles with ice cream & hot chocolate sauce

Lovely oysters - so fresh. Really delicious duck confit: perfectly cooked, really good sauce. Great taste. & yummy profiteroles with a really excellent, rich chocolate sauce.

A really good'last supper' before the flight home. Thank you Le Pois Penché!

Started with les escargots 9.5/10 (balanced, not too salty, no sand in my snails)

My friend had duck somewhere else for the first time & told me about their disappointment. Told them about how Pois penché's duck is 😍👌🏽 & as always they delivered.

Crispy skin + melting in the mouth + the sauce = 9/10.

I had Andrew as my waiter.
