Friendly and always busy, this neighborhood gem has two addresses with a tasty and comforting menu, cooked with care by its owners Francine Brûlé and Serge Bruneau who receive each customer like at home. In a setting where nostalgia and innovation are intertwined with finesse, we invariably find a warm atmosphere, vibrant and unpretentious.

Mini pogo, Shepard's pie, Beet salad with warm goat cheese & Tartares.
Les Enfants Terribles offers a lively and stylish setting with a warm, welcoming vibe and a terrace that enhances the experience. Service is consistently friendly, professional and attentive, with guests appreciating helpful guidance on dishes and wines and quick, efficient handling for groups and families. The food tends to be well executed and satisfying across brunch and dinner, with varied options, generous portions and quality ingredients, and the menu is often praised for coherence and thoughtful pairings. While the ambiance can get a bit loud at peak times and a few evenings show minor missteps, the overall experience remains enjoyable and refined, making it a reliable choice for casual meals, celebrations and business lunches in downtown Montreal.
L'ambiance & le service étaient très bien. La quantité de crevettes dans le menu à partager était insuffisante (3 crevettes) mais, néanmoins délicieuses. J'ai été un peu déçue du tartare au thon.
The atmosphere is nice but the food is so disappointing & the service was…lacking to say the least. On top of that the tipping options are 18, 20, 22 %. You might as well go anywhere else tbh
Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servis par Valentin. Il était proactif, cordial & très serviable. C'est une perle! De plus la nourriture était a la hauteur de nos attentes. Les drinks étaient également très bons. Superbe expérience.
We had a reservation before a nearby concert, & although we were running a bit late, the team kindly held our table for us, which we really appreciated.
Hands down, the tuna tartare was the best tuna tartare I've ever had. The ponzu sauce was so savoury & salty. The tuna was melting in my mouth & the texture of the wonton went perfectly with it. That said, the Caesar salad included anchovies, which were not listed on the menu & was served with full, uncut leaves of lettuce, making it quite impossible to share.
Although we mentioned we weren't fans of the salad & didn't end up eating it, the dish remained on our bill. With the relatively high drink prices, ($20 per cocktail, $11 per mocktail) we decided to head to another nearby spot.

Nous avions une réservation avant un concert au Centre Bell, & même si nous étions un peu en retard, l'équipe a gentiment gardé notre table, ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié.
Cela dit, la salade César contenait des anchois, ce qui n'était pas indiqué sur le menu. Elle était également servie avec des feuilles de laitue entières (non coupées), ce qui la rendait difficile à partager.
Bien que nous ayons mentionné que nous n'étions pas satisfaits & que nous ne l'avons pas mangée, le plat est resté sur la facture. Étant donné le prix assez élevé des boissons, nous avons finalement décidé de nous rendre dans un autre endroit à proximité avant le concert.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Les Enfants Terribles. From start to finish, everything was exceptional.
The food was outstanding - we ordered the crispy chicken burgers with fries, & they were perfectly prepared & absolutely delicious. My daughter also had the oysters, which were incredibly fresh & of excellent quality. The salads were vibrant & flavorful, & the drinks were just as impressive.
The service was warm, attentive, & truly elevated the entire experience. Everything came together beautifully for a memorable meal.
We are very, very satisfied & will definitely be back. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!
Bella ed ampia sala. Il personale è molto gentile e professionale. Il cibo generalmente molto buono, ottimo il brunch. Situato a pochi passi dal Fairmont Hotel, lo rende molto conveniente.
Excellente nourriture dans une magnifique ambiance, mais il y a souvent trop de tables pour chaque serveur, & le menu spécial cabane à sucre n'était pas clair sur les heures de disponibilité.
