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...
Les critiques présentent L'Express comme une institution montréalaise bien aimée qui évoque un bistrot parisien avec une ambiance chaleureuse et animée, une salle intime et un long bar, des miroirs qui renforcent le cadre vivant. La carte met en valeur des plats classiques et généreux tels que le canard confit, l'onglet, le bœuf tartare, les frites et des soupes réconfortantes, accompagnés de desserts généreux comme les profiteroles à l'érable et la crème brûlée, ainsi que des touches conviviales à partager comme le bocal de cornichons et le pain avec moutarde. Le service est souvent salué pour son accueil professionnel et chaleureux, même s'il arrive que l'expérience soit entachée par le bruit, des fausses notes de service ou des plats un peu salés ou coûteux; malgré cela, l'atmosphère bistrot, la qualité des produits et la carte des vins en font une adresse incontournable selon les convives.
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!
We had Duck Confit & Veal kidney It met our expectations in the fullest Great food, environment & very friendly & knowledgable staff Highly recommended!

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.
Hidden gem! The ambiance was friendly, the service impeccable, & every dish a burst of authentic flavors. A culinary journey that left a lasting impression. Highly recommended!
People rightly love this place for the authentic & relaxed French bistro atmosphere & energy. The food is ok, wait staff excellent, & very good value for money. Highly recommend.
Great fun night out with friends. If you're looking for no frills, decent wine, decent food, decent price, & relaxing night out - this is it. The vibe is fresh & lively. If you can manage your way to dessert, the lime sorbet is recommended.

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
Best French bistro around. Great selection of traditional French bistro fare. Great wine selection. Impeccable service. Highly recommended.
Upd-20231005: Been back a couple times post-pandemic, food quality has been consistent, but like most places, they're being challenged staff-wise, but overall a great place to enjoy an excellent meal.
On revient à l'Express pour retrouver les classiques des mythiques brasseries parisiennes. Après toutes ces visites à l'Express, je n'ai jamais été déçu. Ce soir, j'ai opté pour le potage à l'oseille, la mousse de foies de volaille aux pistaches, les raviolis maison & pour dessert, les profiteroles à l'érable. Comme toujours, j'ai bien apprécié mon repas & en plus, j'ai eu droit à un service attentionné & respectueux ainsi qu'à de judicieux conseils de la part de Jacques, le barman. Jacques m'a recommandé une chartreuse jaune qui termine très bien un repas & que j'ai beaucoup apprécié.
This is a very famous French restaurant in montreal. Strongly recommend to stop by!
No sign was seen, so you may need to look at the map carefully to find this place. The menu was written with a script that I was not able to read well, so I chose my menu from Google review pictures.
It is a busy place, I didn't expect to be very kind service. But they served better than I expected ^^
I couldn't make a reservation for our party, which was 3. (Recommed to make a reservation 1 or 2 weeks before you go for the dinner)Then I just walked in at their opening time. It worked. We could have seated at the bar.
The dress code was not mandatory. That worked for tourists.
I live in New York. None of the places can really beat the prices. For me, the food prices were very gernerous compared to its popularity.

Bewildered as to why this place gets the hype that it does.
Started with Fish Soup. It was a tomato puree with maybe fish blended into it? There was fish flavor, but at close to $20, it would have been nice to see actual chunks of fish in it & a much better flavor.
The baguette served tasted of poor quality or it was just old. Butter was hard. No bread plate so you just get the table full of crumbs.
I ordered the housemade ravioli, which was bland. I could tell that the ingredients were legit, but there was no flavor...just a concentrated meat flavor. Luckily there was a pepper grinder on the table. How about some tarragon? Or just even parsley? This dish was almost $30 as was forgettable.
Service was painfully slow, so we skipped dessert & got out of there. I have no idea why this place is highly recommended. Save yourself the disappointment & go anywhere else. The prices vs quality/flavor as not in your favor.
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
Ce resto nous avait été recommandé pour un petit déjeuner en ville, ce fut une déception. Seul une omelette perdue dans l'assiette avec un morceau de tomate, 2 rotis refroidies & non beurrées dans une autre assiette, aucune confiture, rien de bien impressionnant pour le prix. Nous ne retournerons pas.
