What you'll notice immediately about L'Express is its authenticity. The room looks like it was plucked straight out of Paris. There is a long bar with a partition separating it from the dining room. The tables are well spaced, but the room has energy, so bring your own. Reservations are highly recommended. I arrived as a solo diner on a Monday at 7:45 & had to return an hour later just to sit at the bar-it was worth waiting.
After choosing my meal, the waiter set a massive container of cronichon on the table with bread, butter, & mustard. Don't skip tasting them-the cronichon are pure perfection, & the mustard is spicy & tart, a classic dijon. The real challenge is not finishing it all (though with the huge jar of pickles, it's impossible; but beware: bread is the enemy).
My order needed to be classic but not pedestrian, so I chose the cured salmon, served over a bed of thinly sliced cabbage, dressed with cream, lemon, & dill, & garnished with radish & micro-greens. Wow, this was such a surprise. I was blown away. Great fish, paired with a salad I would have never considered, a true win.
For my main, I ordered the hanger steak (Aka Steak Frites) along with a wine of the server's choosing after letting him know what I usually enjoy. The steak was great, served with hotel butter, cooked to perfection. On the side were the fries, hot & crisp, with a fluffy interior & a generous serving of mayo.
I ate everything & required a coffee just to make it to my hotel. I will be back, with reservations & a larger group next time, so I can try more of the menu, but my first impression... O la la!
Déçue dans l'ensemble. Les plats sont corrects, mais les desserts déçoivent. Le service est convenable, sans plus. L'ambiance est beaucoup trop bruyante, au point de ne pas pouvoir discuter. Clairement un endroit qui plaira plus aux touristes qu'aux amateurs de vraie brasserie française.
Ma conjointe & moi même recommandons ce restaurant. Les prix sont légèrement hauts mais la qualité des produits & des services est de haut niveau. Le canard est excellent.
We had the steak, duck confit & the roast quail. Definately an experience with great food
I had a hard time finding something I wanted on the menu. Herring was just ok, tripes were boring & the raviolis just weren't very good, especially for $30. The younger guy behind the bar was friendly & attentive, our older server not so much. Inside was way too hot, I couldn't wait to get out of there. Place was packed so what do I know🤷🏼?♂?
It's a good thing I don't live here, as I'd be dead in no time from coming here daily to gorge on this amazing & decadent food.
Le service était très agréable & l'expérience très authentique. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le dessert !
A restaurant that will always make you proud to be from Montreal. What's more this place has not changed in 30 years, the atmosphere is exactly the same, the food is too, & this is highly appreciated as the atmosphere & food are of the highest quality.
Sat at the bar with my daughter last night. Service was amazing by bartender. She recommended great wine & dinner. We had the bourgot app. My daughter had trout & I had traditional steak frites. Dessert was creme brulee & raspberry glacee. We had made reservations.
First 10 out of 10 experience ive ever had def a must try in montreal
