Managed to snag a couple of spots at the bar for Saturday lunch. Had a pisco sour which was really good. They give you some baguette with butter & Mustard & house made Pickles.. we ordered the poached salmon & the house made ravioli. Both were exquisite. Really amazing flavors, both dishes were really really good. We used the bread to mop up all the sauce. It was so good! We got the lemon tart & chocolate ganache tart for dessert & left absolutely stuffed & happy. Would 100% recommend.View more

There are certainly may be better places for French cuisine in Montreal but no where comes close to the whole package that the Express offers. From the food, to the ambience & exceptional service by staff who have been there many years, the Express dining experience is truly unique in the country & perhaps on this continent. If you do go, remember to order a Baba au Rhum !!View more

The food was on point, which was to be expected. Great menu, nice presentation. The atmosphere was nice too, classic Montreal shotgun style eatery. The service fell short for us though. I think there was a shift change shortly after we arrived which caused a bit of a rough dining experience. We had to ask for water multiple times. There were long waits between courses, our drinks were taken as soon as we finished them but we were never able to order a second round, we were brought dessert menus twice. we could tell no one was really dedicated to our table. Our original server left shortly after taking our order without informing us, after that it seemed that we were split between two new servers that had just arrived. Kind of a let down given the reputation & price paid.View more

We had high expectations given how highly praised this restaurant is across the internet. Still, the incredible goat cheese appetizer exceeded our expectations. The creamy goat cheese & crunchy crust pieces perfectly balanced out the sweetness of the caramelized onions. I enjoyed the chicken paillard, but it didn't balance flavors as well as the appetizer. Our waiter took a while to take our order & give us the check but the restaurant was very busy so thats fine.View more

The food here is good...not great, good. Best things were the appetizers of Japanese coleslaw & beet salad. Steak frites was forgettable sadly. The service & ambiance was nice & we were well taken care of.View more
