Due to some recent issues, I could not reacquaint myself with their beautiful beef tartare, but had to limit myself to a glass of rose & a croque-monsieur, with their signature frites & cornichons. As always, they presented a wonderful meal with impeccable service.View more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience here. The food was delicious & creative, the wine list is extensive, & the customer service was top-notch. I dined alone at the bar, & the servers could not have been more friendly & helpful. I ate a scallop ceviche which is one of the best dishes I've ever tasted, followed by the salmon with lentils & a lemon sorbet. Sancerre & a server-recommended Courvoisier rounded out the meal perfectly. I hope to have the pleasure of dining here again some day!View more

Three of us came to dine for an early dinner on Friday night. I was not a fan that they sat the 3 of us at a two person table with one of us sitting at the "aisle". It wasn't particularly busy at this time so I think we could have been better accommodated. Other than that, the food is delicious, well seasoned & perfectly cooked. Portion sizing is quite large too! We had the duck confit, hanger steak & fries & the chicken. They also provide fresh bread & a large jar of pickles - a very nice touch. We also had the espresso creme brulee to share at the end which we would highly recommend. All in all, very well done & would recommend to anyone who is looking for great french food!View more

L'Express est une excellente adresse pour savourer la cuisine française à Montréal. La nourriture est exceptionnelle, avec des plats préparés à la perfection & une présentation soignée. Le service est impeccable, professionnel & attentionné. De plus, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & authentique, rappelant les bistros parisiens. Le rapport qualité-prix est justifié par l'expérience culinaire de haut niveau. Une visite incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine française.View more

Excellent experience. The service was impeccable with great wine suggestions. The strawberry & peppers ceviche was fresh & exciting. The beef carpacchio had a lovely texture. The duck confit was fantastic. Crispy skin, perfectly cooked meat & the greens & potatoes & sundried tomatoes it came with were all delightful. The floating island dessert was a true treat. Paired well with some apple brandy. I'll be coming back every time I'm in Montreal.View more
