L’estaminet is the perfect place to enjoy a light gourmet meal without putting a dent in your wallet. Located on Fleury Street in the increasingly popular Ahuntsic district, this unpretentious bistro continues to earn the praise of all those who dine here. Established in 1985, L’estaminet offers a pan-European menu that includes a selection of favourites inspired by French, Italian, German and Belgian cuisine.
An eclectic clientele demands an equally eclectic menu. With patrons from the neighbourhood and from all over the island of Montreal, L’estaminet provides top quality bistro fare that includes a selection of burgers, tempting personal pizzas, the ever-popular croques (including monsieur, smoked salmon, ham and asparagus), sandwiches, salad, pasta and an ever changing table d’hôte that expands on the standard menu. Breakfast is served daily and the extensive weekend brunch menu has such a variety of choices that making your final selection may take some time.
Like any bistro worthy of the name, L’estaminet offers a selection of coffees and espresso-based drinks (hot and iced). A wide array of herbal and other teas is available for your pleasure, too. Wine and beer are also on the menu, with St-Ambroise, Boréale and Stella Artois on tap. And if indulging your sweet tooth is more your thing (or if you want to cap a perfect meal), the dessert menu at L’estaminet features sinfully delicious pies, sorbets and cakes, including a different new featured cake every month.

Bistro très sympathique, les prix sont dans la moyenne, le service est rapide, courtois sans être obséquieux. La nourriture est excellente. Que dire de plus. Le midi il faut réserver.
Teeeeeellement bon! Tout le monde a adoré. Choix de menu varié, prix accessibles. Il y a même un petit menu pour enfants! On s'ennuie de ne pas y aller plus souvent.
Ce café bistro est très agréable & convivial, le service est impeccable & les plats à prix raisonnables sont très savoureux. Il faut goûter à leur burger au porc effiloché, un délice! Faites-vous plaisir en allant déguster un repas en bonne compagnie à ce café bistro sur la Promenade Fleury. En plus, il est facile d'y trouver du stationnement si vous y allez en voiture.
J'ai trouvé que les portions étaient plus petites qu'avant.
Le club au saumon fumé contenait juste un peu de saumon fumé, c'était davantage un sandwich aux tomates.
Le pain avec chèvre & salade d'épinards, petite portion de fromage ....léger pour le prix.
Service excellent, attentif & professionnel.
