Les Oiseaux is described as an intimate cozy French spot in Montreal where tasting menus and course meals showcase high end inventive cuisine using local ingredients. Many dishes such as duck magret, foie gras, lamb shank, sea bass, and venison receive praise for being flavorful and well executed, with favorites like fresh house bread and a chocolate mousse highlighted. Service and atmosphere are consistently praised for warmth, attentiveness, and a quiet romantic or welcoming vibe. A few notes of caution include occasional overpowering glazes or sauces, and some guests feel portions are small relative to price, though the overall value and the option to pair wines or choose from a reasonably priced wine list are frequently mentioned. Overall, Les Oiseaux is regarded as a hidden gem suitable for couples or groups, offering refined French cooking, a strong wine program, and a service level that encourages return visits.
Great food, service & atmosphere! We ordered the tasting menu & we could tell how much effort went into every dish. The portion sizes were perfect. They were accommodating to one of our party members' dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!
Un magnifique restaurant de quartier avec de délicieux plats & une très belle ambiance, parfaite pour un souper d'anniversaire en famille. Tous les plats étaient super, on a presque tout essayé sur la carte! Un chaleureux service pour couronner le tout, c'était un vrai bonheur :)
We had a great experience with a family dinner here. The restaurant was very accommodating of our food issues, including providing gluten free meals. We felt like they took our food issues very seriously while providing us an excellent meal. We particularly enjoyed the smoked salmon, asparagus & feta salad & gazpacho appetizers, the lamb shank & guinea fowl mains, & all of the desserts! We will definitely return, & highly recommend Les Oiseaux to anyone with food allergies/sensitivities looking for a fine dining experience in Montreal.

My husband & I had a great time at Les Oiseaux de Passage. The food is creative fusion in our opinion, with interesting twists to the traditional French cuisine. We ordered the maple salmon, foie gras, mushroom risotto, lamb shank, guinea fowl, & crème brûlée. Every single dish was delightfully tasty & flavorful. The salmon was light & the bok choy gave it a balanced taste with other garnishes like tomatoes that balance the palate. The mushroom risotto is creamy & chewy. The lamb shank is so tender, & guinea fowl had the meat almost melting from the bones. The crème brûlée is not overpowering with sugar & the chocolate covered pear made a unique & rich combo. Service is superb as the owner is also the waiter & truly cares about customer experience. Ambiance is simple yet romantic, & the open kitchen makes the experience intimate & memorable. As foodies who are particular about culinary adventures, we can't recommend this place enough for the carefully curated & prepared cuisine, intimate ambiance & superb service.
Delicious food, amazing service, & wonderful & friendly chef! The food was prepared with much care & was exceptionally fresh. I really loved the curry bread that was offered when I went, & it was overall a lovely experience. Highly recommend!
Dinner was excellent here! The atmosphere is intimate & cozy. Very small & quiet. There were only two people running the place so service was a bit slow, but dinner was great. The server was very encouraging towards myself as an anglophone that wanted to practice speaking French.
First time ever coming into Montreal & came to the right place for French Cuisine. Arthur at the reception & as a waiter was very polite & helpful with translating the menu for me & my parents. Julian the chef was just phenomenal, was very generous & hit the taste buds right on point. Definitely recommend this place if you want to have fine dining in Montreal.

We visited Les Oiseaux back in June 2023 & we still think about it weekly so I'm taking a minute to write a review. If you're reading this & considering a visit, the focaccia bread alone is enough to drop whatever you're doing & get a table. It is without question the best piece of bread I've ever had. Everything from appetizers to entrees to dessert was incredible. We especially loved the entrees; I highly recommend the venison. We sat outside & brought a bottle of wine. We had perfect weather, our server was great & very attentive, & I can't think of a single complaint. If you have just one night in Montreal, eat here.
Bonjour, je refuse par principe de donner des annotations. Je souhaite cependant vous dire que j'ai apprécié votre restaurant, autant pour la qualité des plats que pour l'amabilité du service. Le décor chaleureux & l'ambiance feutrée ajoutent à la qualité de l'expérience. J'ai d'ailleurs recommandé votre restaurant à des amis & nous y revenons encemble le 17 février.
Quelle expérience magique! Un service hors pair, nourriture absolument délicieuse, décor chaleureux & petite musique de fond jazz. Tout un coup de coeur! C'est sûr que je vais y retourner. Petit trésor à découvrir, je recommande à 110%!
Super adresse sur Montréal Franchement c'est cuisiné avec du goût, les personnes sont super. Tout est très bon, pas de fausses notes. Je recommande l'adresse
Excellente nourriture, table d'hôte 95$ à plus de 7 services mais en trop petite quantite qui ne sustend pas, par contre délicieux. Le comble de l'insulte, il vous offre le thé ou le café en fin de repas qui n'est pas inclus à 5$. Petit endroit ordinaire dont nous seront que de passage comme les oiseaux. Je vais ajouter à la réponse du propriétaire qui ne reconnais pas sa clientèle & que je considère maintenant comme un con. Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes, j'ai payé moi même ma facture en débit & donné un généreux pourboire. S'il a une clientèle de mauvais payeur & accuse la bonne, c'est une raison de plus de ne pas y retourner.
