L'Express

We went to the well known L'express, & we had an excellent experience!
We made a reservation in advance at a later period around 8PM-9PM.
There were still lots of clients & a bit noisy, which I think is the reason why the waitress was a bit late & didn't answer our call at the first moment. There're unlimited baguette & tiny pickles on the table. Manu was print in handwriting font which is a bit hard to identify, plz go to their official website to do the research first if you have difficulty with it!
But the most important thing is, the food & the drinks are amazing! The vibe is comfortable & chill, & it was a great experience to have a wonderful anniversary dinner here.
BTW, the pickle is a bit sour, make sure you are ready for it!

Extremely bad & unfriendly to foreigners. Their menu is written in fancy script & I couldn't make it out at all. Even when I asked the waiter for help, he just ignored me. I really don't recommend it.

Great dining experience & good value of money! Highly recommended French restaurant in Montreal.

Don't let clients in when you're just about to close (after they ask you if they can still dine) if it's to be rude & rough with them. Two years later like 10 minutes after the experience, I don't remember anything of it on a culinary level, only that I spent 200$ on a dinner for two to be mistreated by the manager.

Had dinner here yesterday & got food poisoning!! Had the steak, liver pate & salad. Have been sick since. Very disappointed especially since they claim the ingredients are all fresh.

Such a classic french bistro! Learned that the same titles restaurant on park ave in manhattan is not connected. & as someone who went to both now, can't stand up to the real French Montréal version!

My partner has being coming to this busy French-bistro style restaurant for around 40 years, & I have visited several times - it never lets us down. Great menu of French classics & specials, efficient, friendly service & great wines. It was difficult to choose, but I went for:

- ??Smoked herring from lles-de-la-Madeleine
- ??Veal kidneys in mustard sauce
- ??Ile flottante with caramel

The smoked herring was served warm on thinly sliced potatoes. Excellent.

The veal kidneys were cooked pink, in a rich, mustard sauce. So good.

The lle Flottante was huge (a bit too big), really good & beautifully presented with large pieces of perfect peanut brittle.

A really good meal, in really good surroundings, nice atmosphere & friendly, efficient service. We left very satisfied & very full!

Service A1, les serveurs sont d'une compétence impeccable respectant tout les codes qu'on s'attend du métier de serveur.

Les classiques sont respectés à la lettre & sont très bien exécutés (j'ai pris la mousse de foie de volaille & le boudin noir)

La mousse de foie de voilaille particulièrement avec le pain baguette & la moutarde de Dijon était d'une combinaison excellente.

Si vous aimez l'atmosphère des bistros parisiens comme tous, fortement recommandé.
