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

At L'Estaminet, reviews describe a warm neighborhood bistro with a charming atmosphere and attentive service, where the menu blends comforting French staples with seasonal, well-prepared dishes. Dishes like the maison boudin, onion soup, risotto, and morue are highlighted for flavor and quality, while brunch options and a friendly, efficient staff make casual meals feel special. The value is consistently praised, with many noting reasonable prices and satisfying portions for the setting, and the terrace plus on-street parking add to the appeal. Some comments mention small portions or occasional slow service during busy times, but overall guests leave impressed by the homey vibe, the dependable quality, and the welcoming team. L'Estaminet remains a go-to for convivial dinners with family or friends and a reliable choice for a relaxed meal out.

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

Service impeccable malgré le contexte qui demande aux restaurateurs de s'adapter aux conditions sanitaires & la difficulté de recrutement de personnel. & en prime nos 3 plats étaient délicieux.

J'ai mangé une crêpe choisie dans le menu Brunch. Délicieux! Mais pourquoi y servir des pommes de terre. Cela ne ba pas du tout avec les autres aliments.

Le seul petit point négatif est que le café n'etait pas chaud. Le reste était parfait. Je reviendrai c'est sûr.

Ne réservez pas en ligne. On est arrivé & ils n'avaient pas pris aucune des réservations en ligne & c'était pas mal complet. On a pu manger en 1h30 heureusement.

Tout était super, mais le thon aurait gagné à être un peu plus goûteux.
