Came here due to the reviews with the other location, but chose this one out of convenience. Service was terrible, drinks took 20+ minutes & we were brought the wrong food item. Looks like the manager came over to apologize & provided the wrong food item on the house. Both tables next to us were also complaining, one of the tables were waiting 1 hour for their clams & steak, the other table also waiting 45 minutes for their food as well.
When we asked for the bill, the server was going to charge us for the incorrect food item. When we mentioned we were told it was on the house, she responded with'but it's on the machine.' This is fitting granted that all three employees were chit chatting & on their phones.
Location is great, but I would not recommend this place to anyone visiting Old Montreal.
I had been to this location before & had an acceptable experience, but this visit was extremely disappointing.
The service was, without question, the worst part of the evening. Our server was rude, impatient, & visibly annoyed whenever we asked for anything. My son has a limited appetite due to a medical condition, so we asked for bread a couple of times (not to mention some of the apps we ordered like Escargot required to be consumed with bread), & each request was met with eye-rolling & an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. From the moment we sat down, we felt unwelcome.
For a restaurant at this price point, I also expect the server to explain the menu or mention the daily specials. None of that happened. Instead, we were repeatedly pressured about ordering, which made the entire meal uncomfortable rather than enjoyable.
The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the steak filet & specifically asked for the chef's recommended doneness. The server recommended medium rare, so that's what I ordered. The steak arrived well done (super dry) & had to be sent back. My replacement didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later, by which time everyone else at the table had already finished eating. No apology beyond taking it back, no manager checking in, & no gesture of goodwill or compensation for the mistake.
We also requested separate bills, but the appetizers were placed on the wrong bill, creating even more confusion at the end of the meal.
The sea bass was just average, nothing memorable, especially considering the price.
A great meal is about more than just food. Service matters just as much, & unfortunately this restaurant failed badly in that respect. I understand this is a busy, tourist-heavy area, but that's not an excuse for poor hospitality or lack of professionalism. Also, the washrooms were broken so we had to use the neighbor restaurant's restroom.
I've had a much better experience at other Mignon's location. Based on this visit, however, I would not return to this Old Montréal location & cannot recommend it.
J'ai adoré!
Geneviève est vraiment fantastique. Un super service.
Repas plus que excellent! Vraiment!
Je recommande plus la table que le bar question confort!

The waiting time is really killing me. I think we wait for about 20-30min after the steak for a crème brûlée. Well the waitress definitely saw us when they were right at those tables near us, but seemed like no one wanted to take our plate & bring us the dessert 😶 The food is not bad not good, they are normal for me & nothing is special with them.
You can go or not, I would not recommend that much.
Unfortunately excellent atmosphere that doesn't match service & good quality. The steak we ordered came back well done despite ordering it medium. We were not extended a courtesy of being given a discount they charged us for even the house salad & didn't even apologize. Sadly I don't recommend
Très belle découverte grâce à mon parrain !
Nous étions 4 & nous avons passé un excellent moment : cuisine délicieuse, ambiance chaleureuse & service au top.
Je recommande vivement !
Beautiful little restaurant in the old town area. Signature Steak was perfectly cooked to how i requested (med-rare), & the dark chocolate mouse was to die for. Would highly recommend.
