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.

Lieu agréable. Accueillant pour les enfants.
Les plats sont bons mais ni la quantité ni la qualité ne justifie le prix demandé.

Merci pour le bon déjeuner, tout était bon, de qualité!
Étant coeliaque, j'ai apprécié qu'on me serve une rôtie sans gluten - sans extra $$.
Au plaisir d'y retourner rapidement.
Merci!!

Nourriture & menu simple mais drôlement efficace! Service rapide & & courtois. Prix raisonnables. Sais bémol le plancher est comme un trampoline: chaque fois qu'on marchait derrière nous notre chaise balançait!
