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.
Sitio de comida tradicional francesa. Decoración y servicio perfectos. La comida muy rica. Amplia carta de vinos. El bano también muy limpio. Todo perfecto.
Great spot, felt like a refined diner. Food was really good, you get served bread & butter with pickles & mustard included in the service. Prices are for sure on the higher side but they reflect the quality of the dishes.
Traditional French restaurants with a more relaxing vibe . Had a great wine list with bottles starting at 60. We are from out of town & want ready to go home, because we also had a child & just wanted to go have something to drink . If your look for a great late night eat this is a fantastic place to go it opens untill 2am.
We were greeted warmly & sat quickly. I wish I could have sampled more from the menu. Everything we did order was exquisite. I've never had better grilled octopus! Merci 🙂

L'express truly lives up to its hype & praise. Pleasantly greeted at the door & with reservation i was seated in minutes. I had never eaten duck meat before & Gabriel assured me it would melt in my mouth & it did! I'm glad I took the recommendation. The Confit duck with its crispy skin & the potatoes was *chef's kiss! Finished the meal off with a Crème brûlée which was perfect. The service was great. The ambience is 💯. Made my last night in Montreal memorable :)
I had accidentally made our dinner reservation for the wrong date & instead of turning us away they were able to get us a table. All the staff were friendly & super sweet to both myself & my mother. All the food was delicious & I recommend getting their crem brule & their quail dish if you are there.
Mercredi dernier, comme à chaque visite à Montréal, nous sommes allés dans ce restaurant. Malheureusement, nous avons été déçus par la nourriture. Les portions ont considérablement diminué : mon conjoint a pris du foie de veau, mais il n'a reçu que deux petits morceaux trop cuits. Quant à moi, j'ai choisi le tartare de boeuf, qui était correct mais sans éclat. Il ne reste plus que l'atmosphère du restaurant qui vaille le détour, & encore. Lors de notre prochain séjour, nous opterons pour une nouvelle adresse. Vraiment déçus.
This restaurant has such a vibrant atmosphere. The energy is contagious & always puts me in a great mood. Great food overall which is what matters!! Excellent staff!!!

L'Express is one of the best in Montreal - a classic French restaurant with a Parisian bistro style room, excellent food, & incredible service. Everything was done very well.
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I felt ultimately disappointed with L'Express. No complaints regarding the service, which was pleasant & efficient, but there were several misses with the food itself. The sorrel soup was great, & seemed like a promising sign of the meal ahead. However, the green salad arrived completely-not lightly, but completely-undressed. The mains were decent, but underwhelming. My steak was rather tough. The duck confit itself was fairly nice but had some areas which were poorly rendered, & the accompaniments were under-seasoned & bland. I enjoyed the atmosphere, though my partner found it overly loud. Overall, this was the restaurant I most anticipated visiting, & which disappointed me the most.
Although I am giving a 5 star review, if the rating is out of 10, I would give them only a 8.5 to 9.5. I like the place, but there were a few issues. There were lots of free places, but for celebrating my big wedding anniversary, my family of 3 was given a table of 2 with 3 chairs. We were expecting the desserts to be spectacular, but the créme brulé was runny as if it was kept too long? Many I have to give them a chance & go back to try again more dishes.
