Haven't been to this establishment in years so it was lovely to see that service was excellent as always. However, the steak was very chewy & difficult to cut but the fries were alright. The pickles & bread served before the meal are a nice touch! The crème brûlée was excellent!View more

Très très bon, ambiance détendue & service impeccable.
Je m'attendais à une note très salée & finalement ça allait. Entrée, plat & dessert avec juste 1 verre de vin (ceci explique peut être cela 😄) pour moins de 100$, j'étais surpris surtout quand on voit le prix de beaucoup de restos plus que moyens..View more

La bouffe était bonne & l'atmosphère était la mais le service était inapproprié. J'ai commandé une bouteille de vin & le serveur a mal ouvert la bouteille. Il m'a ensuite servi le vin avec plein de liège. Quand je lui ait gentiment fait remarqué, il m'a changé mon verre avec un air bête & sans même s'excuser. Je ne retournerai pas.View more

Une adresse à ne pas manquer à Montréal … une cuisine de bistrot avec ce petit supplément d'âme que le chef jean François Vachon & toute son équipe savent orchestrer avec brio, de belles surprises dans l'assiette . L'île flottante avec sa cloche de caramel soufflée est surprenante, son baba au rhum avec du vrai rhum est remarquable , & sa crème brûlée est surprenante, un véritable sans faute pour un bistrot - brasserie… Le lapin à la moutarde est une tuerie. Merci d'avoir ravie nos papilles… Alors à vos téléphone réservé une table & réveiller vos papilles…. HéhéView more

Un bistro français ouvert jusqu'à 3h du matin à Montréal ? Que demander de plus ? De la bonne bouffe, une ambiance conviviale & un service au top… Ah ben, tout y est ! Parfait pour les oiseaux de nuit & les gourmands tardifs.View more

My wife & I had dinner at L'Express on a Wednesday night during a trip to Montreal after reading about it in the NYT. It lived up to its reputation.
The staff was warm, welcoming, & skilled, making us feel comfortable right away. The meal started with pickles & bread--a simple but memorable touch. L'Express feels like an authentic French bistro, the kind that has inspired places like Pastis or Parc (both favorites of mine). It reminded me of a restaurant I once visited on Île Saint-Louis in Paris, adding to its authenticity.
We shared a green salad, steak frites, & a pasta special with meatballs in red sauce. Every dish was clean, simple, & well-executed. The restaurant was packed, with every seat filled, & the atmosphere was cozy & lively. We enjoyed the sophisticated local chatter & the charm of the space.
It's easy to see why L'Express has been around for decades. The food, service, & vibe are top-notch, & the prices are reasonable for the quality. The surrounding neighborhood was also a nice area to explore. Reservations are a must. Highly recommended!View more

Just amazing have been there twice now in the span of a week the star if the meals has been the house ravioli just incredible the sauce is amazing super rich & refined I would pay the $30 just for the sauce & bread.
The duck confit is also amazing & the octopus is delicious comes with a red pepper type sauce very flavourful.
But again get the ravioli & extra bread to not waste the sauce.
Parking on that street is very rough I recommend you just take a taxi or Uber as whatever you pay for the ride is worth the lack of frustration trying to find parking.View more
