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.

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. Despite some mixed impressions concerning culinary refinement and consistency in food preparation, the restaurant remains a well-regarded local destination where guests enjoy a relaxed dining environment and attentive, welcoming hospitality.

J'ai trouvé que les portions étaient plus petites qu'avant.
Le club au saumon fumé contenait juste un peu de saumon fumé, c'était davantage un sandwich aux tomates.
Le pain avec chèvre & salade d'épinards, petite portion de fromage ....léger pour le prix.
Service excellent, attentif & professionnel.

Diner en famille avec 2 enfants & 4 adultes. Le personnel était vraiment gentil & poli mais surchargé avec l'achalandage de la clientèle. Nous avons attendu plus de 30 minutes avant de pouvoir obtenir notre table de 6 personnes. Beaucoup trop long quand on est accompagné par une ainée de 82 ans & qu'on a pris la peine de réserver pour 13h15.

Besoin de faire plusieurs rappels pour obtenir des verres d'eau. Nous étions 4 adultes & il y eu 2 erreurs de commande. Cela fut réglé par notre serveur.

Les repas de ma famille étaient délicieux sauf le smoothie aux avocats (à température pièce) qui aurait eu avantage à être plus froid en bouche.
Mon repas de salade au canard confit était délicieux. Toutefois, la portion était beaucoup plus petite en laitue & moins bien garnie en champignons & en fruits qu'avant la Covid. Petite déception !

Vraiment agréable de manger sur la terrasse. Merci beaucoup pour vos efforts à nous servir.
