Superbe brasserie à la française. Les plats étaient super bons ! Les serveurs très aimables. J'ai pris la tarte au citron pour dessert 10/10!

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.

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.

It felt like I was in Paris, except the waiter was friendly! lol

Sitio de comida tradicional francesa. Decoración y servicio perfectos. La comida muy rica. Amplia carta de vinos. El bano también muy limpio. Todo perfecto.

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.

Great place, loved the steak! Bonus points for being open late.

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.

We were greeted warmly & sat quickly. I wish I could have sampled more from the menu. Everything we did order was exquisite. I've never had better grilled octopus! Merci 🙂

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 :)

L'entrée de pieuvre était excellente, le tartare aussi, mais la pièce maître était la crème brûlée au café!!

I had accidentally made our dinner reservation for the wrong date & instead of turning us away they were able to get us a table. All the staff were friendly & super sweet to both myself & my mother. All the food was delicious & I recommend getting their crem brule & their quail dish if you are there.

Mercredi dernier, comme à chaque visite à Montréal, nous sommes allés dans ce restaurant. Malheureusement, nous avons été déçus par la nourriture. Les portions ont considérablement diminué : mon conjoint a pris du foie de veau, mais il n'a reçu que deux petits morceaux trop cuits. Quant à moi, j'ai choisi le tartare de boeuf, qui était correct mais sans éclat. Il ne reste plus que l'atmosphère du restaurant qui vaille le détour, & encore. Lors de notre prochain séjour, nous opterons pour une nouvelle adresse. Vraiment déçus.

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.

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.
