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.

Nous allons régulièrement bruncher à l'Estaminet & à chaque fois c'est un régal. La cuisine est délicieuse & le service toujours agréable. Vive le confit de canard & les mimosas!

La musique était un peu forte, mais on aurait aussi pu demander à baisser le son. Excellent petit restaurant de quartier.

This neighborhood eatery serves casual French fare. The food was delicious, but the potion was quite small & the presentation fell a little flat. The cappuccino without the latte art was rich & bold, just how I prefer it.

Un petit café pour les péteux de broue & aux prix exhorbitants. Je n'ai jamais compris le buzz de l'endroit. Je ne comprends même pas comment ça peut être encore ouvert après nois avoir fait suer avec leurs restrictions durant la pandémie. L'été venu, il y a une terrasse pour qui ça lui tente de regarder passer les véhicules sur Fleury Est. Le stationnement est dans la rue & payant.

Brunch beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité (& quantité) qu'on reçoit. Les assiettes sont tristes & mal présentées. J'ai pris 2 oeufs béné pas mauvais en soi, mais accompagnés de seulement 7 petites patates & des tranches de fruits pas fraiches. Aussi le refill de café filtre fait avec un pichet de lait c'est pas très professionnel. À éviter pour le brunch!

I enjoyed my Mother's Day solo breakfast here. The croque canard was very original with the light curry dressing on the tartine - the portions are on the small side, but I guess that means less guilt after. Highly recommend the shooter matin with triple sec ;)

Simple, small but inviting interior. Then, the food was surprisingly very very good with well-balanced spices.

La serveuse a fait beaucoup d'erreurs & ne semblait pas comprendre nos demandes, pourtant simples. Un verre de bière n'est pas une pinte !

Le service était bien mais la nourriture horrible, vieilles patates froides & sèches, le croque canard aussi. Très cher pour une qualité de la sorte. Le cuisinier n'aime visiblement pas son travail.
