Super adresse sur Saint-Denis à Montréal ! Cette brasserie française propose une cuisine authentique avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Côté assiette, tout était au rendez-vous : le carpaccio de boeuf était tout simplement délicieux, tout comme les rillettes, riches & savoureuses. En plat, les cailles au riz noir étaient parfaitement maîtrisées : une viande tendre, goûteuse. Tout le repas est aussi accompagnée d'un grand pot de cornichons & d'une moutarde bien relevée qui apportent une vraie touche de caractère.

La carte des vins est également un gros point fort : large choix & prix très raisonnables, parfait pour accompagner le repas sans se ruiner.

Seul petit bémol : l'ambiance est très (très) bruyante. Il peut parfois être difficile de s'entendre ou même de bien comprendre le serveur. Cela participe sans doute à l'esprit brasserie, mais ça peut déranger selon les moments.

Je vous conseille de réserver avant aussi !

Une excellente adresse malgré tout, que je recommande sans hésiter !

Great place for a date night. The service was fantastic, more European than American style. The food was delicious, fries were well salted, steak well cooked (as you like it), & the shallot-butter was so good I want to try making it at home. The place is nicely laid out with good lighting. Just remember to book a reservation.

L'Express is my favoruite resturant in the city. That's why it's super disappointing they hung up on me when I tried to snag a spot I could not find online by calling in. Most resturants hold tables from online for call ins. Can't beleive I was treated so rudely...

This iconic Montreal institution sets an impeccable table. The cuisine is outstanding, highlighted by a classic bone marrow & a legendary steak tartare, made even more authentic by the signature jars of cornichons & grainy mustard. Service is both crisp & convivial, ensuring the atmosphere remains refined yet approachable. To finish, an exquisite value-driven selection from the renowned cellar rounds out the evening perfectly.

L'Express is often heralded as one of the most iconic institutions Montreal has to offer, which played a major part in shaping the city's iconic food landscape. As such, I chose to dine in this restaurant with my partner for her birthday, expecting to be completely blown away by its food & wanted to confirm if their food matches their hype.

It does not at all. The food is absolutely average. Starting with their in-house bread, which was extremely chewy & tough, like horribly tough… on the other hand, the mustard & pickles were very nice (probably the nicest thing we had).

We chose bone marrow, having had bone marrow at other institutions in the city, we were expecting something similar. But no, it was not; it was unpleasant, very unpleasant, & painful to eat. The bone marrow was not seasoned in any way.

Next, ravioli. This was quite good, I'll give this to them. The filling was rich, the gravy it came in was quite thick & wonderful. One thing I will unfortunately point out: have the ravioli quickly because the gravy will get congealed quickly.

Lastly, one of the dishes that you will frequently see people talk about the most is the Hanger Steak. I tried it, & honestly, just skip this dish altogether. The fries were regular fries (almost the exact same fries you get at Orange Julep), & the cut of steak is just sad with how much you are paying for it. The meat is not seasoned, extremely tough, & also, I do not think they baste their steak post-cooking either. Personally, I did not enjoy having a cold slab of butter on top. For a main highlight meat dish I didn't like that I had two contrasting competing temperatures in my mouth. I'd appreciate it in an entree but maybe not in a main dish.

Service is average, nothing fancy; you walk in, eat, walk out, no questions asked.

Personally, L'Express did not match its hype. I don't think I'll be coming back here again.

Ambiance was very nice, reminded me of Parisian restaurants.

Hope whoever reads this has a better experience.
