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.

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.

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!

Best French food in Montreal hands down! I easily made a reservation & from the time I walked in, I was promptly seated at a lovely table on the side of the bar. It was a bonus the server was able to speak English, he even offered to speak French or English. We end up ordering wine & the waiter made an amazing recommendation. Along with food specials, he suggested to us some great items. We end up ordering a couple of appetizers, a few entrees & desserts! Every so often he'd come by to check in with us, & it's the little things that he does that makes our dining experience superb like pouring wine for us, cleaning any empty plates & maintaining a clean table. Other servers & even the hostess stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking. You can see a whole team effort & it doesn't go unnoticed! Everything was just absolutely incredible, unforgettable dining experience & I'll be sure to dine here again on my next visit back to Montreal!
Nice & cozy place, service & ambiance are really good. A bit pricy (well it's downtown Montréal)
We ordered the seafood platter for two.
Everything was very delicious. The lobster tail was a bit small for the price we paid(in my opinion) otherwise a really classic French style seafood restaurant.
PS we got our margaritas served in low-ball (whiskey) instead of classic margaritas shape glasses, & it was small size. I guess focus on wine & food instead of cocktails (after all it isn't a bar)
Great food, very attentive service
They are experts on their oysters & very willing to give pairing recommendations from their extensive wine list.
The parisien seafood platter was perfectly portioned for two people. We started with the escargot - the parsley in the butter was a very nice addition. We finished with the chocolate fondant & a couple of café affogato. Would love to come back on our next trip to Montreal
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.

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!
This renowned French restaurant offers a taste of Paris in downtown Montréal. The décor was elegant & the service was exemplary. The long & complete wine list offered excellent choices. The food was delicious, featuring classic French fare with a local twisted. The duck confit boasted crispy skin & tender meat. The bouillabaisse was outstanding, simmered perfectly to extract all the flavor. The Paris-Brest was a must-enjoyed dessert.
Out of all the restaurants I've visited over the years in Canada, Le Pois Penche is by far the One to Rule them all in my experience. Situated directly under Hôtel Chez Swan, the clear & soothing music that flows gently through folding glass patio doors that open up to the posh upscale interior of the restaurant. Having made a reservation a few days earlier, we were quickly assisted in Anglais, as conversational french is not a strength I have in my bag of tricks. Once we had chosen our preferred seating, we were quickly greeted by who we believe was the manager of the establishment(he wore a tan suit) who welcome us, chatted with us a small bit, & then took our order when ready. A reisling wine, decently priced, atlantic salmon with butternut squash spaghetti, & a medium rare steak with salad was what we ordered. Within 10 to 15 minutes we were brought the wine & the food immediately. The bustle of the crowds walking past the tables, the kumquat trees lining each patio space, & the wonderful vocalist serenading us with Frank Sinatra as we ate was by far one of the most memorable & enjoyable experiences at a restaurant that I've had. It is well worth the price of the entire meal. The quality of food was very high & there was nothing on either plate left untouched. Even the remaining sauce was mopped up by the delicious basket of bread placed on our table. I would recommend that if you are coming to Montreal, make absolutely sure you reserve time to eat & enjoy at Le Pois Penche. You will not regret it.
P.s. the logo was very, umm, unique. My partner & I were very amused by it.
Best duck confit I've had! The meat was moist & the skin was crisp but not too burnt. Traditional fois gras terrine & a perfectly dressed salad. Good wine list.

We celebrated my birthday at this wonderful restaurant & were fortunate to have Mina as our server. Let me tell you, Mina is an absolute gem-she's hands-down, the best server we've ever had! We told her we wanted to practice our French, & even though we were pretty terrible at it, she patiently helped us understand everything with a warm smile. The rigatoni maison aux crevettes tigrées was a flavor explosion & a must-try, & my fiancée was over the moon with the lamb. Mina's perfect wine pairings elevated our meal, making my birthday dinner truly unforgettable.
A huge thank you to the kitchen & staff for an incredible experience-we had such a blast!
When we come back to Montreal, we will definitely visit again.
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.
Julien, the oyster lover is a master of his craft! Take a moment to talk with him at the bar. Thank you for the recommendations! (& randomly speaking mandarin to my in laws)You made our night. Andy host for the evening was spot on! Funny & hospitable, he made our experience seem less & wonderful! Simple review, Order oysters & the house steak for two. Drink wine & live in the moment. This place creates a great one!
