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.
Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. Really great experience. Delicious food, great wine list, lovely service, great ambience. We ordered the goat cheese pastry, the shrimp & chorizo risotto, & steak frites. Very rich tasting food, but lovely & complex flavors. I would recommend getting the hangar steak medium as the medium rare was a bit too lacking form for me. All exceptional!
This is a spectacular French restaurant. My friend & I took a day trip to Montreal & found this place on google. We walked in without a reservation & the maître d' was kind enough to seat us as long as we'd be finished by his next reservation. The service was excellent. Since we had to drive back to The States after our visit, the waitress recommended a half bottle of Chardonnay, which was very good. We shared the arancini & bone marrow to start. For our entrees, I had the hanger steak with mashed potatoes & my friend had the duck confit. All of the was delicious & perfectly cooked. The ambiance here is excellent as well. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're going to be in Montreal.
The steak frites was perfect & the dessert a fever dream: the eye-catching île flottante is so satisfying to break open & probably best shared between at least three people...
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.
We go every time we're in Montreal. We love the bone marrow & the steak frittes. The atmosphere is bustling & energetic & the staff are en pointe. We live 500 miles away, but we will be back! Again.

The food here is good...not great, good. Best things were the appetizers of Japanese coleslaw & beet salad. Steak frites was forgettable sadly. The service & ambiance was nice & we were well taken care of.
I got the beef tartare & the steak with shallot butter & fries. The beef tartare was okay, not unique or better than anything I've had before. The steak quality was not the best, but the fries were light & crispy & the shallot butter was herby & savoury - so good. The restaurant vibe is like old diner style, which I thought was cute but I didn't love it. Service was great, no complaints.
Delicious food, reasonable prices & fun atmosphere. My steak tasted great & was cooked perfectly. The octopus was very tender & paired nicely with the red pepper sauce. Service was quick however sometimes too quick that it became less efficient: our appetizers arrived but we didn't have any plates or utensils then our dirty utensils were taken away but was not replaced for our mains. They were clearly understaffed & were running around all night. My partner & I enjoyed our night regardless & would still come back to try other dishes. Waiter also made an excellent wine recommendation that easily became one of my favourites!
We walked-in on lunch time didn’t have a link up, the restaurant was very pretty, knowledgeable staff. I was very excited to try their steak frites, the steak was amazing with the butter it was just soo good but the frites was a 3/10 it doesn’t feel like fresh that was a big down for me.
