It was good. I heard that if you didn't make a reservation, it might be crowded. But actually it was not too bad. The servers were kind.View more

It's classic French food overall made very well. Mind blowing ? No. Worth making the time to travel to? Not so sure. But it's solid food.View more

L'Express is one of the best in Montreal - a classic French restaurant with a Parisian bistro style room, excellent food, & incredible service. Everything was done very well.View more

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I felt ultimately disappointed with L'Express. No complaints regarding the service, which was pleasant & efficient, but there were several misses with the food itself. The sorrel soup was great, & seemed like a promising sign of the meal ahead. However, the green salad arrived completely-not lightly, but completely-undressed. The mains were decent, but underwhelming. My steak was rather tough. The duck confit itself was fairly nice but had some areas which were poorly rendered, & the accompaniments were under-seasoned & bland. I enjoyed the atmosphere, though my partner found it overly loud. Overall, this was the restaurant I most anticipated visiting, & which disappointed me the most.View more

Although I am giving a 5 star review, if the rating is out of 10, I would give them only a 8.5 to 9.5. I like the place, but there were a few issues. There were lots of free places, but for celebrating my big wedding anniversary, my family of 3 was given a table of 2 with 3 chairs. We were expecting the desserts to be spectacular, but the créme brulé was runny as if it was kept too long? Many I have to give them a chance & go back to try again more dishes.View more

I'm not sure this place needs another positive review-nevertheless, a stand-out restaurant in a city full of wonderful food. Classic French bistro atmosphere, perfect service, & cornichons & mustard are provided gratis. Duck confit & celery remoulade were perfection. The waitress suggested a wonderful cab to go with them. My wife very much enjoyed her risotto. Would very much like to sit at the bar next time. All in all, a worthy 20th anniversary dinner.View more

I went on a Sunday without reservation. Seat at the bar right away. I've ordered a grilled octopus & then the ravioli, both delicious. For the quality it's worth the price.View more

Great French bistro in a trendy area of Montreal. Cooking was exquisite! Service was friendly & helpful. Price is fair for the quality & portion size. The gazpacho my cousin & I had was perhaps the best I've ever had. The mushrom ravioli was delicate & extremely flavorful. & the creme brulee was also excellent. Definitely returning next time I am in the city.View more

The employee was very nice & attentive & even though I made a mistake in my order, he gave me a new burger for free which was the one I intended to order. The burgers were really good & fries were delicious & crunchy.View more

Phenomenal meal here, I see why this place is so popular. I'd definitely recommend a reservation, as it's very busy. We got four things to split: the chicken liver paté, the duck rillettes, the quail, & the ravioli. Absolutely everything was wonderful. Even the jar of cornichons were delicious. I'd strongly recommend this place!View more

It you want a perfect restaurant, where the food is delicious & the vibe can vary from romantic to family or friends gathering, here's your place. The execution of the food is just perfect & authentic as if you're truly transported in Paris. I go often as it's in my neighborhood & my favorite is the "cailles au riz sauvage". The bone marrow appetizer is delicious too. The free cornichons & mustard to snack on are incredible. We always try to take the daily specials & they never disappoint. FOR DESSERT TAKE THE PROFITEROLES & THANK ME LATER.View more

If you're a fan of delicious wine at great prices, a constantly replenished bread basket, & an endless supply of pickles, this restaurant is a dream come true! My friends & I have officially declared it our top spot in Montreal. The ravioli & steak are absolute must-tries, & the service? It's off the charts-11/10!View more
