About us

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.

Review Summary

L'Estaminet is widely recognized as a charming and intimate neighborhood bistro that offers a warm, cozy atmosphere perfect for various social gatherings. Many patrons frequent the establishment regularly, highlighting the consistent quality of the food and the generally impeccable, friendly service provided by the staff. While experiences with menu events and specific dishes like the boudin, tartare, and brunch options are often praised for their flavor and presentation, feedback occasionally notes concerns regarding portion sizes or the seasoning of certain entrees.

l'ambiance est bien & l'endroit petit mais sympa mais j'ai mis 3 étoiles à cause de la serveuse qui nous as servis qui avait vraiment l'air bête on lui posais des questions & à peine elle nous répondais certains moments passait tout droit sans nous répondre..le seul sourire quand elle nous as apportez l'addition. Domage car les autres serveuses étaient vraiment souriantes & d'une grande gentillesse !!!

Un délice, vraiment! Nous avons profité du plan Fleury Gourmand. Nous avons apprécié le décor charmant, la chaleur de l'accueil, & la qualité de la cuisine. Le boudin, les tartelettes, & l'agneau si bien apprêté!

Super endroit... Les serveurs (ses) semblent heureux (ses) d'être là.
J'ai pris le duo de tartare. Saumon- boeuf. Vraiment bon.
Les gens avec moi ont aussi aimé leurs plats.
Ma crème brûlée était bien... Je ne crois pas que c'était fait maison mais bonne & servie avec le sourire.
J'y retournerai l'année prochaine certainement.
Malheureusement oublié de prendre des photos.

Ça fait de nombreuses années que nous allons à ce resto & il ne nous déçoit jamais. Hier nous étions un groupe de 10 & chacun a été satisfait, autant par la nourriture que le service. Bravo à la belle équipe de L'Estaminet.

C'est un endroit que j'aime beaucoup & où je vais régulièrement mais je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé…peut-être parce que c'était un dimanche…le café latté était amer, la sauce hollandaise d'un jaune douteux & les patates étaient froides & elles manquaient de cuisson. Je n'y reviendrai certainement pas pour le brunch.
