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 comes across as a bustling, family friendly Italian spot with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere, a generous salad bar and free bread that many diners praise, and a menu focused on comforting pastas and hearty mains that deliver big portions for good value. Reviewers consistently highlight the variety of pasta sauces and dishes, from lobster pasta and fettuccine to meatballs and braised beef ravioli, with several noting standout flavors and pasta cooked to al dente. The open bar concept and wine selection add to the welcoming vibe, and service is often described as attentive and efficient, though a few visits mention slower rounds or dishes that lack seasoning. Lines can form on busy nights, but wait times are often short when arriving early, and guests frequently mention returning for the atmosphere as much as the food. While some entries warn that portions can feel uneven and a few dishes miss the mark, the consensus is that the restaurant offers a memorable pasta focused experience with charm and value.
Lors de notre première visite, tout était parfait. Malheureusement ce ne fût pas le cas la 2e fois. Il faut savoir qu'il n'est pas possible de réserver dans cet établissement. Mais quand un groupe de 6 personnes arrive 1/2 heure après toi, qu'il y'a déjà 4 personnes avant toi (2×2) & que le groupe de 6 te passe devant, ce n'est juste PAS ADMISSIBLE. Dommage, mais je n'y retournerai plus car c'est un gros manque de politesse!

After a boat ride in Montreal Port, we decided to check this place out & I'm so glad we did. The food was amazing & the atmosphere was beautiful. I did appreciate the salad bar as well. Definitely will be back
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.

Une entrée d'escargot gratinés, recette méconnue pour ma part & excellente. Le fromage bien dosé, de très bonne qualité n'écrasant pas le goût des escargots. Un plat bien évidemment basé sur les pâtes, je souhaitais de la sobriété pour goûter la base & qu'elle ne fut pas ma stupeur de voir des pâtes avec autant de goût naturellement. L'assaisonnement dans sa globalité est dosé à merveille. Les quantités généreuses.
Pour finir, j'ai voulu tester la crème brûlée, un dessert qui le plus souvent pré fait & bien ici non. De la même manière que les autres plats, réussi & fort agréable.
Coté service, le personnel est d'une extrême amabilité. Souriant, bien veillant & aussi de bon conseil!
Bref, la note donnée à ce restaurant est amplement méritée voir mieux encore. Passage obligatoire lors d'une visite de la ville.
Je me souviendrai de ce restaurant de mes vacances !!!
Nous visitons ce restaurant depuis 1973. Les saveurs n'ont jamais changé. Toujours excellent. La joue de boeuf braisée est à se rouler à terre. Bravo à tout le personnel pour votre accueil
Félicitation au Chef pour maintenir un si haut standard dans la cuisine. Merci Eve pour ton excellent service & ton sourire.

Delicious food, server was very kind & attentive. Waited for almost 40 mins for a large table for 7 people but it is worthy. No reservation needed first come first serve. Complimentary salad bar available

Cadre très agréable avec une carte très appétissante, des plats copieux & délicieux ! Très convivial avec un service de qualité, le serveur Sam est au top !
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.
Been coming here for years & they simply never disappoint.
Amazing value (+ free salad bar)
So many different pasta options
Great location in heart of Old Port
Underrated dessert
