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.

Bonjour - Notez qu'il y avait beaucoup de laitue très molle dans ma salade. Mon végé burger était trop granuleux, mais ça, c'est une question de goût, ce n'est pas votre faute :)

Nous n'avons pas compris pourquoi le serveur hésitait à nous donner une des deux tables à l'avant !

Baisse dans la qualité des plats ( ex pain mou à la place d'une vraie baguette dans les croques. Un peu décevant.
Il serait aussi important de revoir la propreté des toilettes

Belles & bonnes assiettes, toujours un plaisir d'aller à L'Estaminet! Les assiettes de mes amis étaient si belles, qu'on veut retourner pour déguster les nouveaux plats.

L'accueil & le service semblait improvisés, il n'y avait pas d'ambiance particulière, les repas était délicieux mais la présentation aurait pu être une coche au dessus. Les prix beaucoup trop cher pour une expérience trop ordinaire. Grande déception pour une soirée qui aurait due être plus agréable.

Les portions étaient généreuses, mais la nourriture était médiocre, sans goût ni attrait. L'un des repas était immangeable en raison d'une combinaison inhabituelle de légumes marinés & de pain.

Very disappointing. Waitress did an excellent job but food was way subpar. Cold poached eggs. Cold potatoes from the day before, gray color, rancid taste. This used to be a very good place with excellent food. Today was not it.
