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.

La nourriture était bien, les entrées de soupe/velouté délicieuses. Cependant, nous avons été laissés de côté malgré une erreur de réservation qui n'était pas de notre faute. Plus de 30minutes pour commander, & les serveuses faisait exprès de nous ignorer. Je travaille en restauration & je suis très consciente des enjeux de manque de staff etc mais je nous ai trouvés délaissés, service froid & l'autre serveuse était condescendante. Malgré tout, une fois commencé, le service a été plus rapide. Je laisse le bénéfice du doute car il s'agit peut-être d'une seule instance.

L'ambiance du restaurant est sans plus, une nappe sur la table serait un plus. Les tables de bistro ne sont pas de bonne qualité & ne sont pas toutes de la même hauteur. La moquette parterre n'est pas un plus pour l'odeur & les allergies. Concernant le repas a 38$+tx+tips a 52$ par personne n'était pas a la hauteur. Un repas dit 4 services avec uniquement de la salade ce n'est pas un vrai repas complet. Des repas manquants (plus de stock).
