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!

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.

Arrived for supper on a snowy Montreal evening. Reservations are recommended. We were given our choice of two tables. Our server was courteous & knowledgeable, recommending a wine for my wife, which she truly enjoyed. We chose the fish of the day to share for our entree. The sea bass was perfectly cooked & delicately seasoned, accompanied by a selection of root vegetables. Perfect! Dessert was profiteroles, which were delicious, especially when smothered in warm chocolate sauce. The atmosphere was not too noisy & the tables are spaced sufficiently to permit private conversation. Overall, a very enjoyable dimimg experience.

LPP is my favorite place to visit during my monthly trips to Montreal, & always tops before a Habs game. The menu & wine list are exquisite; the service is exemplary (especially Charles); & overall atmosphere is second to none. My six year old little guy tried his first oysters & escargot at the bar. In fact, he was so enamored with the escargot, for the rest of the trip he stopped shaving, & refused to speak English!!

Le Pois Penché was the perfect way to end our Montreal trip. My husband & I went on our last night in the city & it ended up being one of the highlights of the whole visit.

Our server Andrew completely elevated the experience. He took the time to ask about our preferences & made thoughtful recommendations that were spot-on, & he was so attentive & warm the entire evening without ever being overbearing.

The ambiance struck that rare balance of feeling elegant & special without being stuffy or pretentious. It's the kind of place you can dress up for a nice dinner but still feel relaxed & comfortable.

The food was fantastic. We started with the calamari, I had the lamb, & my husband had the duck & everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavor. The glass of wine we had was also excellent, oaky & dry with no fruitiness, & it paired beautifully with the meal.

To top it all off, they even comped us dessert & the crème brûlée was hands-down the best we've ever had. I'm still thinking about it.

We would 100% come back the next time we're in Montreal. Highly recommend for a memorable, genuinely enjoyable dining experience.

We had an amazing experience here for MTL a la Table. Our server, Emma, gave us excellent food & wine recommendations & made the entire meal that much more enjoyable. The food was 10/10 & the ambiance at the restaurant was great.

Where to start? Just perfect - great food - the salads (I know, salads?) were spectacular, the foie gras was excellent, the broth for the bouillabaisse was perfection, & the confit de canard was great. Very good wine selection, too! & Tony, our waiter was charming & provided excellent, excellent service! & he even convinced me unconvincingly that ice wine is better than Sauternes! ;-). Just go to LPP - you need this dinner experience!!

This restaurant was recommended to us by hotel staff. We weren't particularly hungry after a late lunch, but also wanted a nice glass of wine. We were not disappointed!

We walked in about 6 pm without a reservation & were offered seats at the bar. The server was very friendly but a tad slow for just about everything.

After ordering our wine, we opted for some French Onion soup - it was amazing! Nothing like the overly salty mush of bread topped with cheese we often see. We followed that up with two appetizers - the Octopus & Escargot.

The Octopus was excellent - topped with salad & on a beet sauce (excuse the photo - we started to eat before we remembered to take a picture!). I love, love, love Escargot. This did not disappoint. There were at least 10 pieces, & it was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of garlic & seasoned butter.

I wish I could comment to the dinner selections other than to say everything being served around us looked delicious!!

Exceptional! We had wine, cocktails, digestifs, oysters, escargots, ceviche & the strawberry melba. Everything was a hit! Our waiter was incredible & we are glad we took his recommendations. Highly recommend!
