Dans un magnifique décor à l’ambiance feutrée, fruits de mer et plats français réconfortants y sont servis depuis l’heure du brunch jusqu’en soirée. En plus d’une somptueuse salle à manger dotée d’un bar qui convient autant aux repas de semaine qu’aux occasions particulières, l’endroit dispose d’une terrasse sur rue donnant l’impression d’être aux premières loges sur le tapis rouge.
Au sous-sol, une salle intime richement ornée de tableaux et pouvant confortablement accueillir 20 à 70 convives, est parfaite pour les événements privés et rencontres d’affaires. Son cellier vitré lui donne un air d’opulence et un coup d’œil exceptionnel.

Incontournable pour les amateurs de vins et de cocktails, l’établissement présente plusieurs choix au verre comme à la bouteille dans toutes les gammes de prix.

Le Pois Penché offre une expérience française élégante et chaleureuse, où l'accueil est attentif et le service impeccablement professionnel, rendant chaque repas fluide et agréable. L'ambiance est raffinée mais cosy, avec un cadre chic qui reste accessible et une atmosphère qui peut être appréciée aussi bien au bar qu'en salle, parfois accompagnée d'une ambiance musicale live qui met à l'aise sans être envahissante. La cuisine décline des classiques bien maîtrisés: escargots bien assaisonnés, soupe à l'oignon riche et onctueuse, confit de canard croustillant, poisson du jour parfaitement cuisiné, et des fruits de mer frais et généreux; les plats principaux comme le bouillabaisse, le hanger steak et le filet de poisson valent le détour, tout comme les desserts comme le Paris Brest et la crème brûlée; la carte des vins et les recommendations de service complètent l'expérience; réservation recommandée et, au final, une adresse où l'on aime revenir.
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!
Easily one of the best French restaurant we have visited. It's located right at downtown Montreal, only 5 minutes drive from most hotel in the area. The oysters were fresh & packed with flavour. The baguette is impossibly soft, we could not believe it. Lamb was slow cooked to perfection, taste amazing & the texture is soft, charcolly on the outside & super soft on the inside. On top of that the staff is so friendly made us feel right at home. It was my birthday dinner, I got a suprise treat & live performance of the happy birthday song. Unforgettable memory!

Best duck confit I've ever had. The skin was crispy, the meat super tender with a little bit of fat. The sauce was perfect. Even the bread that was offered on the side was so fresh & tasty
Absolutely delicious bread, soup, & salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly, & probably was the freshest, tastiest salmon I've ever had. I'd go back in a heartbeat. The one little complaint is that I had to ask a few times for ice water before they brought ice to me.
We enjoyed a fantastic Friday night meal here, starting with a fresh & delicious selection of oysters, then appetizers & mains. Highly recommend the duck confit. Service was attentive & the atmosphere was classy & fun. Bon appétit!
The oysters especially the petite ones were the perfect texture & size, the horseradish freshly graded & pomegranates brought things up a notch. The bread was delicious the right level between soft & crisp. The tiki cocktail had quite a few unique flavors I would definitely try it. The star of the drinks was an espresso martini just tasted like straight perfect expresso. The hangar steak with the shallot red wine sauce was out of the this world especially the sauce I could not stop dipping my fries in it. The homemade cavatelli with mushrooms porcini & truffle cream was flavorful creamy but not too heavy or earthy. The service was great & the staff were friendly. I would definitely go back.

Really tasty food at a fair price! Everything was fresh & well presented. The vibe on the terrace was great, & the decor made it even better. Super friendly staff too; would definitely go back!
This was an unexpected delight! From the moment we walked in, we were transported back to some other timeline. There was a man standing in the restaurant with the microphone singing old tunes… Think Frank Sinatra, etc.… With a very easy on the ears voice. We could also see a gorgeous oyster bar. The vibe was very happy immediately. The restaurant was full, but not overly loud. The service began the moment we walked in the door. We felt very welcomed. We were seated immediately at a nice round table… There were five of us. The bread & butter served to the table was delicious. I know it's just bread, but it was very very good bread. Some of our appetizers included escargot, fresh oysters (hand chosen by the oyster master... they were served in a specific order.) & were all delicious. Our mains included Steak Frites (except we requested Dauphine potatoes instead of frites) & Moules Frites with some amazing crème brûlée for dessert. Cocktails & wine were delicious. The service & the vibe were splendid. We almost went back the next night, but we decided we should diversify. Highly recommend!
I had high expectations, at first it was below my expectation when I got the foie de gras but then the confit duck really surprised me & surpassed my expectations. The shrimp was so fresh too.
Lovely lunch at the bar with Clementine. He was a great help with his recommendations for both food & wine. We had the oysters & mussels. Both very fresh & delicious. The atmosphere was was very beautiful & I highly recommend this, as the price was very fair for the quality of the food & wine & service.

Food is good, but nothing to write home about. Service is very good, but they don't ask about any allergies. I got my food covered in cream (duck) & it did not say on the menu that it has cream. I had to wait while my other party was eating. Duck was great, tartare was lacking flavor & texture. Escargot were amazing. Bouillabase sauce was just ok, but the seafood was super fresh & made well.
Review of Pois Panache, Montreal I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pois Panache in Montreal, & I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set a warm & inviting tone, but the real stars of the evening were oyster Chef Julien & server Clément. Let's talk about the oysters. Oyster Chef Julien has truly elevated the oyster experience to new heights. The standout dish was the oysters topped with pomegranate, which were, without a doubt, some of the best I've ever had in my life. The freshness of the oysters perfectly complemented the burst of sweetness from the pomegranate, creating a delightful harmony of flavors that danced on my palate. Each bite was a testament to Julien's skill & passion for his craft. As for the service, Clément was exceptional. His attentiveness & genuine enthusiasm made the evening even more enjoyable. He was knowledgeable about the menu & offered excellent recommendations, ensuring we made the most of our dining experience. Clément's warm demeanor & professionalism added a personal touch that made us feel truly valued as guests. If you find yourself in Montreal, make sure to visit Pois Panache. With outstanding dishes crafted by Chef Julien & top-notch service from Clément, it's an experience you won't want to miss. I can't wait to return for another round of those incredible oysters! Thank you Julien! & thank you Clement!
The food was really fresh & tasty, but the portions are really small to be called a brunch! Also if you seat somewhere beside the center, be cautious about the longer time you have to wait for the waiters. Our journey there didn't start well as I had to kill a small bug when I sit on my table! Also hearing loud Arabic music wasn't fun at all!
Top place for oysters! Julian is not only an expert shucker- he is a true sommelier. Beside this, there are Unique menu items like walleye fish, wonderful wine selection, fresh soups, but the service & atmosphere are what really will bring you back. Our waiter engaged us & helped us discover some of the best gems on the menu. Highly recommended, our favorite restaurant in Montreal!
Amazing service, food & atmosphere. Probably one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. The escargot was delicious. (First time trying it). Oysters were fresh with a large selection. Steak was delicious & perfectly cooked. Will definitely be returning. The fresh bread they serve is absolutely delicious. 10/10.
Ambience was amazing. Food was tasty & fresh & good size portions. We enjoyed the Bouillablaisse, crab cakes & the lamb steak. Our host was very friendly & answered all our questions. However, we did have to wait about 20min after being seated to get water & bread basket. & it was very warm inside the restaurant even with the windows/doors open. Maybe ceiling fans could help (summer time). We will definitely return but book outdoor patio when weather is hot.
