Nous avons choisi ce lieu pour l'anniversaire de notre tante, nous étions trois. Pour l'heure du lunch. Notre expérience n'a pas été à la hauteur de la maison Ritz. Comme repas principal nous avons pris la râble de lapin sur un lit d'épeautre: trop salé, pâteux, trop de sauce bref sans finesse & sans goût. Personnes n'a terminé son assiette.

Pour l'expérience: le lieu possède une cour intérieure qui pourrait être un bijou caché dans le centre-ville … ce n'est pas le cas … piscine de banlieue sans âme & sans personnalité … entourée d'un clôture à poule, où sont entassés quelques canards, & d'une cascade grotesque surélevée qu'on ne voit pas! Le Ritz a les moyens d'engager les meilleurs architectes & architectes du paysage pour faire de ce lieu une expérience magique ! Le Ritz est à deux pas du Musée des Beaux-Arts !

Je ne recommande pas. Le rapport qualité/experience / prix n'y était absolument pas !

There was nothing'wrong' with any of the components of the meal. The service was at Ritz standard. Food was excellent.

Ate on the inside part of the patio, & it was busy for a school night.

Was hoping the Daniel Boulud part of the menu would dazzle, amaze, inspire. It felt very much like any other Ritz Carlton dinning room, highlighting french cuisine.

My opinion is there are better places for dazzling, amazing meals at half (or less) of the cost in Montreal - just based on our 5 days eating around town..

I really enjoyed my experience at Maison Boulud. The staff was very helpful & friendly. The food was perfectly prepared albeit the main ourselves was a tad underseasoned. The bison carpaccio made for a great start. The black garlic mayonnaise complimented it very well without overwhelming the meat. The fish was also delicios but the shrimp bisque sauce lacked that special taste that bisque sauces have. Both desserts that I tried were perfect but the German chocolate cake has more creme that cake. The molten lava cake definitely made up for everything. It seems pedestrian, however, the caramel twist made it very special. The mini-madeleines capped the evening excellently. The wines recommended by Julienne (a wonderful host) made for an experience that I'll repeat again.
I forgot about the foccacia bread; to die for!
& my second dessert, Chocolat Coulant Cake Caramel French Sea Salt Caramelized Milk.

Nous avons passé une très belle parenthèse gastronomique en couple. La table installée sur le patio face à un très beau jardin, le service très attentionné, le personnel souriant & un menu gourmand & équilibré ont contribué à ce très beau moment. Je recommande sans hésiter ce bel établissement.

Nous avons célébré l'anniversaire de ma mère chez MB l'été dernier. Les plats étaient délicieux, mais je dois mettre une petite étoile supplémentaire pour Julien, qui a vraiment mis la touche pour créer une expérience exceptionnelle pour la fêtée. Votre dévouement à tous est extraordinaire, merci mille fois. ❤?

It depends what you're looking for but this place felt very cookie cutter in terms of the food & atmosphere. It's very'white table cloth' traditional french cuisine. There wasn't much originality or flare in the food. Although delicious, I don't think it was worth the price. They are also selling 20$ wine for 110$ with a 3.8 rating on vivino. The wine selection felt like a scam to me.
