We had a lovely dinner at L'Express. The atmosphere is lively, busy & energetic. The food is straight forward, quality French eats - a true French bistro vibe. The salmon tartare & steak with roasted veggies hit the spot & the homemade pickles were a nice touch.View more

We came here for brunch. It really has a classic Parisian bistro vibe. Service was excellent even though the restaurant was very busy. We ordered foie gras & risotto. Both tasted amazing. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Montreal. Hope to visit here again soon.View more

Still one of the top bistros in Montreal. Seasonal specials are always worth considering - but there are some classics on the menu. Love the cornichons - I bought a big jar to take home with me.View more

I was just walking by when this place caught my eye, & I couldn't resist checking it out. Inside, it was packed with people enjoying their food, & the vibe felt really inviting. They had an amazing wine list with choices from Canada & France. I went for the Risotto Crevette & Chorizo-wow, the flavors were out of this world! For dessert, I had the Crème Brûlée with coffee, & it honestly made me feel like I was in a 5-star restaurant. The staff was super friendly, & the guy handling the reservations & seating was incredible-he really made the experience special. I'm so glad I stopped in. What a great meal!View more

The food was okay, nothing special. The wine list is excellent. Unfortunately, they don't use appropriate glasses for serving the wine. I ordered a lovely red wine which was poured into port glasses. The service was efficient but lacked the personal touch that one would expect in a restaurant that is priced in this calibre. The place could use some sound dampening as well.View more

This was the first restaurant we went in Montreal (highly recommended by a friend) & it did not disappoint! The ambience is beautiful, friendly staff & the food is top quality. We had the burrata with tomatoes (full of flavor), croque-monsieur, shrimp & chorizo risotto, the homemade raviolis & crème brûlée for dessert.View more

Great spot, felt like a refined diner. Food was really good, you get served bread & butter with pickles & mustard included in the service. Prices are for sure on the higher side but they reflect the quality of the dishes.View more

Traditional French restaurants with a more relaxing vibe . Had a great wine list with bottles starting at 60. We are from out of town & want ready to go home, because we also had a child & just wanted to go have something to drink . If your look for a great late night eat this is a fantastic place to go it opens untill 2am.View more

L'express truly lives up to its hype & praise. Pleasantly greeted at the door & with reservation i was seated in minutes. I had never eaten duck meat before & Gabriel assured me it would melt in my mouth & it did! I'm glad I took the recommendation. The Confit duck with its crispy skin & the potatoes was *chef's kiss! Finished the meal off with a Crème brûlée which was perfect. The service was great. The ambience is 💯. Made my last night in Montreal memorable :)View more
