Expérience formidable à L'Express un dimanche soir. La nourriture était délicieuse & le service de Sarah & Pierre était d'une perfection inégalée. Leur écoute à notre rythme & à nos besoins m'a épatée. Le tout dans un professionnalisme raffiné, chaleureux & courtois, digne de la meilleure des hospitalités!View more

Very nice, classic French restaurant. The dishes we got definitely hit the spot. Everything was prepared perfectly, not too heavy & the waiter gives great, detailed recommendations for drinks & food. For what we ordered, I find the pricing of the food was fair, not overly expensive. You would definitely see me back at L'express.View more

A step back in time to a genuine French Bistro in Montreal. Having just been in Paris 6 month's ago. L'Express felt more authentic! Crowded, lively, & full of energy. Busy local place, great bistro food, with daily specials. Dining late? No problem. L'Express is open for late dinners, or dessert seekers! Friendly & knowledgeable wait staff. Only downside, a little loud when packed with diners, & & space is tight. But if you enjoy a good local exciting vibe, L'Express is for you!View more

Excellent restaurant de qualité! J'y suis allé pour une occasion spéciale & je vous assure que cette endroit est parfait pour cela. L'ambiance, le service, la décoration & la nourriture sont incroyables. Les plats sont succulents & raffinés. Ces derniers honorent la gastronomie française! C'est le genre de restaurant où il faut y retourner plus d'une fois puisque chaque plat est une surprise gustative & une découverte inattendue. Bref, je lève mon chapeau à tout ceux qui contribue à l'expérience merveilleuse de l'Express.View more

Cool, classic restaurant in terms of decor & set up. Lights were pretty bright. No music, which is oddly nice. Restaurant was packed (even after 11:30pm on a Friday). Service was good, waiter was attentive & friendly. He brought us a great glass of wine. The food though... I left seriously questioning all the people who recommended this to me. We got the chicken liver, the bone marrow & the ravioli. The chicken liver came in a small bowl, densely packed. No way the two of us could finish it. It came with nothing. The bone marrow was also a lot for 2 people. Very oily & greasy, & just came with salt & crispy baguette slices which were very thin. The first two slices were nice, but then it was boring. We really tried to finish it, but it was so oily. We took showers when we got home lol. & the ravioli🥲we were hoping it would turn our experience around, but unfortunately it did not. It was definitely left out too long & developed a film that even my fork lightly grazing over couldn't puncture. The whole dish lacked depth, the flavor was flat & it was uninteresting. At least the baguette, cornichons, & mustard were good. But you can get the same stuff at Trader Joe's. Wouldn't recommend to my foodie friends.View more

Generally good. The duck was a bit too salty & every table was offered pickles expect us. Don't know why. To help us consume a bit less salt? lol. Merci alors.View more
