About

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.

Pour ce qui est question du service l'équipe n'était peut être pas au complet alors c'est normal que ce soit un peu long. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture, les risottos étaient bons mais les burgers au fromage, étaient secs & les frites sont arrivées toutes froides. On nous a vendu les desserts comme des faits maison c'est ce que le serveur nous a dit & recommandé & c'était comme des parts de gâteaux d'épicerie. On était bien déçus car 10$ la part … pas facile à digérer.

Bistro avec terrasse très sympathique. La soupe aux betteraves était délicieuse & le risotto au canard effiloché était savoureux.
Quant au service, rien à redire d'autre qu'il était très attentionné sans être dérangeant.
C'était ma première expérience mais non la dernière.

Les risottos & le tiramisù étaient toujours aussi réussis qu'en 2019. J'ai trouvé le dessert québécois de ma femme trop sucré, mais pas elle.
