L'Express est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise emblématique offrant une expérience de bistrot parisien authentique et intemporelle. Les clients louent régulièrement la constance et la qualité de sa cuisine française classique, mettant en avant des plats incontournables tels que le canard confit, le steak frites, l'os à moelle et le célèbre dessert de l'Île flottante. L'atmosphère accueillante est souvent décrite comme étant à la fois vibrante, chaleureuse et élégante, soutenue par une équipe de service professionnelle et attentionnée. De nombreux visiteurs apprécient les touches distinctives de la maison, comme le pot de cornichons et la moutarde offerts à table, ainsi que la carte des vins riche et bien pensée. Bien que la salle à manger, très fréquentée et animée, puisse être bruyante et que les tables soient installées à proximité les unes des autres, la majorité des convives considèrent que la qualité de la cuisine et le charme singulier du lieu en font une adresse incontournable offrant un excellent rapport qualité prix.
Une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Chaque assiette était raffinée, créative & parfaitement équilibrée. Le service était attentionné & impeccable, sans être prétentieux. Une adresse qui mérite pleinement son étoile Michelin & que je recommande sans hésitation.
Very classic French food, well done, in a space that makes you feel in France, no modern furniture or decor, just classic architecture. I recommend the Tartare au Boeuf, worth trying
We had reserved for a party of 3 to celebrate a bday
we were told by a very rude hostess that our table would be a table for 2 with an added third chair facing the wall .. we tried to have a better table but once again the rude hostess told us that it had been mentionned when reservation was made .. totally false
Service was less than acceptable for a restaurant that has Michelin mention by the entrance door .. what a shame
We had ordered 2 bavettes one had to be well cook
but we had to return it to the kitchen because it was blue!!!
By recommandation from our waiter 1 person ordered the ravioli he made sound very nice but... the 5 raviolis were drowning in a brown sauce & was barely eatable tasted awdull did not eat...
We by accident knocked the sparkling water on the table , waiter was quick to change the paper tablecoth
but .. never replaced the water bottle nor the glass..
Salad tasteless barely dressed with vinaigrette ..
Had to waited at least 25 min with dirty plates
never were asked for another glass of wine or water
Dessert worst Creme brulee ever
Horrible service from start to end , loud phone ringing constantly
will never recommend this restaurant that used to be part of Montreal establisment for more than 40 yrs
Working as a public relation person for an international
cie this experience was simply not acceptable
Overall pretty okay experience. Water had something in it so we asked for new ones & it was quickly replaced. Highly recommend the duck as it was super soft & flavorful.
Two friends & I had our favorite lunch ever here! The service was exceptional & atmosphere really enjoyable definitely recommend the duck confit, the bone marrow, the sorrel soup, & especially their signature dessert, Ile Flottante!
This was our favourite meal of our trip to Montreal. Great value for quality here. We arrived at 10pm on a Sunday, it was PACKED. Waited about 10 mins for a table but heard others outside saying the wait was 1.5 hours for a table of 5. Reservations for big groups highly recommended! We had the bone marrow (yum!), hanger steak, & the green soup (sorrel?). Loved every dish. The only downside we have is we were sat at the table closest to the washroom & there was a lot of traffic moving that night. Sometimes a line up beside us while eating. & Including people who came out with wet hands flinging it with our table & food adjacent. Other than that we would return again!
Une vraie brasserie parisienne à Montréal. Important de demander le bocal de cornichon avec la moutarde de Dijon... J'adore les plats traditionnels français qu'ils servent. Le service est d'un bon niveau. Je recommande à 100%
We were forced (in a good way) to be here by our uber driver & we're so glad he did that!
Montréal version of French food they say. They have an amazing menu but we were looking for something light so went with the Fish soup which was a banger!
Duck confit & tartare is very much recommended here.
It was my first time there. The service was super friendly, very attentioned too. They timed the drinks, the appetizers, & the main dish perfectly. They had great wine suggestions to match the food.
The place is very lovely & cozy. It could get a bit loud specially cause it's always full, but the service, the food, & the experience are totally worth it.
Definitely a gem I'd recommend.
We really enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is a classic French bistro . All of our food was very flavorful & delicious. Our server, Rachel, was amazing! The only complaint is the noise level is high but it adds to the ambiance here. Highly recommend!
