L'usine de Spaghetti Parisienne is located in Old Montreal in an old building. Menu à la carte includes several specials mainly consisting of pasta dishes
Overall, L'usine de Spaghetti in the Old Port offers warm, rustic Italian dining with a generous all you can eat salad bar, garlic bread, and a wide pasta menu that many reviewers find delicious and comforting, from rich fettuccine and lobster pasta to hearty meat dishes. The atmosphere is described as cozy and nostalgic, the service typically attentive and friendly, and the wine selection solid, making it a reliable choice for casual meals or special occasions; however busy periods can bring long lines, wait times, and occasional inconsistencies in dish execution.
A small quaint place. Staff was very friendly & the food was incredible. They had a salad bar included with the meal. I was not impressed. I would have liked a regular salad, but they only had a kale salad & some other cold pasta salads. Since the meal was pasta, did not want more pasta. A light fresh lettuce salad would have been better.
This is such a cute restaurant & the decor is absolutely amazing. I got the smoked meat pasta & it was AMAZING like genuinely I would eat that everyday for the rest of my life. I also got an apple martini & it was delicious we were a little disappointed by the salad bar because we thought it would be build your own salad but it's just premade salads but they're still really good. The garlic butter for the bread is also amazing. It's cold so it doesn't spread well & the bread is nothing special but the taste of the butter makes it all worth it.
The atmosphere & customer service were outstanding. They have a mini buffet bar which is great, but the pasta flavor was a bit boring, the meat balls were huge but dry, good thing was the portion was big.
What an amazing eat, everything is so fresh & the food honestly tastes amazing!
You cannot go wrong with the mains, do try the pasta with the duck leg it was delicious!
Each bite had me enjoying life, I was genuinely concerned about how I would leave that place, out of all the places I have tried, this comes in top 10!

The restaurant has a very nice interior & friendly service. There are many types of pasta with some original & rather unique sauces, & they even offer a small salad as a complimentary starter, which is a nice touch.
The main dishes were good, but the virgin mojito was disappointing, & the desserts were actually quite underwhelming. The place feels quite touristic, with average prices for that area of Montreal.
It was also very cold inside, which made the experience less pleasant. Overall, I wouldn't go back, but it's fine for a casual meal if you're nearby.
The all you can eat salad bar & tasty pasta were the best things about this place! Service & atmosphere were great. We got the linguine & veg spaghetti for our main meals.
Good food. Had the pasta with meet sauce & it was delicious. Good selection of wines. Service was excellent & beautiful & charming place. Not expensive for a tourist area.

We visited this restaurant around 7:00pm on a weekend, & there was a surprisingly long line-we ended up waiting about 40 minutes before getting seated. Since we really wanted to try their food, we came back the next day around 11:30am for lunch, & luckily, there was no wait at all! If you want to avoid the crowd, I highly recommend coming for an early lunch instead of dinner.
The pasta dishes were the highlight-we ordered the red pasta with steak & the lobster pasta. The red sauce was rich & flavorful, but unfortunately, the steak (which we requested medium) came out dry & overcooked. The lobster pasta, however, was fantastic-creamy, well-seasoned, & much better than the beef dish.
For dessert, we tried the crème brûlée & tiramisu. The crème brûlée had a unique floral hint, which made it stand out-definitely worth ordering! The tiramisu, though, was a bit disappointing-it leaned too dry & sweet for my taste. I prefer mine more moist with a stronger coffee bitterness.
Overall, a solid spot for pasta (especially the lobster!) & crème brûlée, but the steak & tiramisu could use some improvement. Go early to skip the line!
Wonderful pasta place.
Excellent meat dishes. Very courteous staff.
All-you-can-eat bread, garlic butter & salads with any main dish.
Wait time is about 15 minutes around 8PM.
It's been so long since I've been to this part of Montreal. This was a recommendation from a friend, & it was a long shot because it was a super busy evening. Line went super fast though, & I got their traditional spaghetti & meatballs. Hands down best pasta I've ever had, & I've been to Italy. The salad bar was so good too! & the wait staff were all wearing these hilarious T-shirts with pasta puns, & even though it was super busy they all seemed to be enjoying themselves & were wonderful workers.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly & fast service, & good food. Waited ~ half an hour for a table & it was well worth it! The salad bar & unlimited bread w/ garlic butter was what sold it for us 😅 we got four different pastas & they were all delicious. Cocktails are a bit pricey but otherwise the menu is affordable! Would absolutely recommend!
First time in Montreal & while visiting old port stumbled upon the restaurant which had the queue outside. Tried making a reservation on call but ultimately lined up in the queue which took a little under an hour but the food was so worth it. We had two kids & they were so accommodating. The food was delicious we order a pesto salmon, the pasta with vegetables. Will highly recommend.
