Restaurant L'Express à Le Plateau Mont-Royal, Montréal vous attirera par son ambiance de bistro typiquement français. Les repas à L'Express peuvent s'étirer grâce au menu élaboré à la carte ou selon les préparations du jour. Exemple de Menu: pâté, foie gras, bouillabaisse soupe de poissons avec croûtons gratinés au gruyère, steak tartare, onglet et frites...
L'Express apparaît comme une institution montréalaise qui rappelle les brasseries parisiennes par son décor, son ambiance animée et sa carte de vins généreuse. Les plats phares évoqués à plusieurs reprises incluent l'onglet de boeuf bien cuit, le canard confit, le boeuf tartare et le boudin noir, accompagnés de classiques comme la soupe paysanne et la crème brûlée. Le cadre chaleureux peut devenir bruyant et les tables serrées lors des heures d'affluence, ce qui peut gêner la conversation. Le rituel des cornichons et de la moutarde servis à table est souvent cité comme un petit plus ludique. Le rapport qualité-prix fait débat: certains estiment le niveau excellent mais les tarifs peuvent sembler élevés; d'autres estiment le rapport correct compte tenu de la qualité et de l'authenticité. La constance de l'accueil et du service est régulièrement louée, mais quelques expériences déplorent un service peu attentif ou des écarts en cuisine. Réservations fortement recommandées pour profiter pleinement de l'ambiance et de la cuisine. Dans l'ensemble, L'Express est perçu comme un classique du bistrot français à Montréal, idéal pour une soirée chaleureuse où l'on peut déguster des plats savoureux et une belle sélection de vins.
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!
Right worth the hype! Did some research & this was top 3 on my list & after visit, I think this is my favorite in Montreal! Service was excellent & offered a booster seat for our toddler & brought over crayons for drawing which was a huge help. Food was so tasty & came with complimentary pickles with mustard. I was in heaven! The wine list was great! It's hard for find Chablis by glass & they had it - delicious! Overall, it was 10/10! When we visit Montreal next, can't wait to come here again!

The service at this French restaurant is very professional. The pickles are delicious, & the fish soup is excellent. However, the restroom is particularly small.
Three of us came to dine for an early dinner on Friday night. I was not a fan that they sat the 3 of us at a two person table with one of us sitting at the "aisle". It wasn't particularly busy at this time so I think we could have been better accommodated. Other than that, the food is delicious, well seasoned & perfectly cooked. Portion sizing is quite large too! We had the duck confit, hanger steak & fries & the chicken. They also provide fresh bread & a large jar of pickles - a very nice touch. We also had the espresso creme brulee to share at the end which we would highly recommend. All in all, very well done & would recommend to anyone who is looking for great french food!
Generally good. The duck was a bit too salty & every table was offered pickles expect us. Don't know why. To help us consume a bit less salt? lol. Merci alors.
Delicious authentic French fare in its iconic locale on St-Denis, perfect for a date night. Make sure to reserve because they get booked solid! Love the giant jar of pickles that you get with your bread & butter at the beginning of the meal. The fries were crispy & served with mustard-mayo. The steak was cooked perfectly, with a generous pat of herby butter. The beef tartare was chopped a bit finer than I am used to, but so flavourful. Definitely recommend this dish! The île flottante was splendid to look at but a bit too sweet for my taste but still something worth ordering!

Beautiful decor that has an old soul vibe. The service was very good. You are served warm baguette with butter as well as their homemade (sour) pickles & dijon mustard. That mustard is potent & delicious! Just a dab & it'll clear your stuffy nostrils. We had the duck confit leg, which was very nicely cooked & the steak/frites.
Managed to snag a couple of spots at the bar for Saturday lunch. Had a pisco sour which was really good. They give you some baguette with butter & Mustard & house made Pickles.. we ordered the poached salmon & the house made ravioli. Both were exquisite. Really amazing flavors, both dishes were really really good. We used the bread to mop up all the sauce. It was so good! We got the lemon tart & chocolate ganache tart for dessert & left absolutely stuffed & happy. Would 100% recommend.
Best meal I've had...hands down. Was blown away. Duck confit was by far the best meal but nearly everything on the menu looked amazing. Texture of the duck's delicate skin with the tender meat inside made me want to savor every bite. Surrounded by crisp brussel sprouts & mushrooms only added even more greatness to an already perfect meal. Filling & affordable. Was able to make a reservation that same day an hour beforehand & even walked in early & was seated for a large party of 8. Maple Porfitoroules & creme brûlée also highly recommended. Meal came with tons of complimentary pickles, spicy mustard, & bread. Perfection. Wouldn't have had it differently any way
Réservée une soirée délicieux!
Le crème fraîche au kataifi was rich, & balanced perfectly with the grilled onions
Le pieuvre was the best dish of the ones we ordered. It was soft & the piperade complemented it perfectly
Le canaird confit first looked beautiful & despite it's greasy appearance was super light, soft, & perfectly seasoned. The leeks accompanying it made it an absolutely perfect main.
& I cannot forget the pickles presented with the bread after we sat down. The pickles were the best seasoned ones I have had with such dimension in flavor
Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montréal for the first time
The staff was friendly & very patient with my stale French speaking XD

We went to L’Express as it is highly reviewed by local. Even right before getting into the restaurant, the guy on the street told us to give it a try. We ordered an Scallop appetizer to start with, I ordered.sea bass & my friend ordered duck confit. In MHO, the appetizer could be skipped if you are on a tight budget as the pickled cucumber & bread could serve the same purpose . Both of us have the feelings all the foods are towards stronger seasoning side & has the very similar taste. Compared Le Boulevardier we had last night, I’express is towards more casual & pub style cooking. It will be good place to try if you are in the neighbourhood .
