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.

Belle ambiance & service super avec nos deux enfants de 9 & 13 ans. La serveuse principale qui formait plusieurs nouveaux serveurs très jeunes assurait totalement, nous proposant des solutions pour chaque demande spéciale. Quelle créativité, quelle réactivité, un GROS bravo pour ça! Au niveau des plats, c'est simple, mais bon. La salade d'accompagnement manque de saveur, peut-être ajuster la vinaigrette trop fade. Merci l'Estaminet!

La salade de chèvre chaud: pas de chèvre disponible, beaucoup de laitue sans vinaigrette, une fraise, & quelques noix.
Peu pour le prix..
Bon cappuccino cependant

Dans le cadre de l'événement Montréal à table, nous avons découvert ce joli restaurant. Potage délicieux, salade de jeunes pousses fraîches à souhait . Nous avons choisi les plats de morue & le cassoulet. Plats copieux. Excellents ! Le gâteau au citron, servi tiède avec crème glacée vanille, parfait ! Service impeccable, belle carte des vins. On y retourne, c'est certain ! (Nous avons stationné facilement sur une rue de quartier, mais un stationnement payant est juste à côté.)
