Truly delicious food. I ate at the bar in the brasserie side & received impeccable service from the whole team, all of whom were great company. As a solo traveler, it's nice to be made to feel like a guest & not just a customer. Charles & Andrea both made thoughtful & successful wine recommendations for each of my courses. The boudin bastien was the star of my meal, but everything was delicious. Even the complimentary bread was divine. This was the best meal I had in Montreal, & a great value for the level of quality. It's a more classic approach than some of the trendier restaurants, but that's not a bad thing at all.

It is a very nice experience to spend your time at least once at this restaurant. We had a fine dinner at this place last night & the food & drinks were amazing! So tasty & so so much delicious!! The only thing that I wish was better was if the portions were a bit bigger:)

I can not speak more highly of Monarque!

We came here on the 3rd of day 8 of our trip from Vancouver to Montreal. Our server was Laura.

We ordered the:
Appy: fois gras parfait
Main: braised veal cheeks, steak frites (hangar)
Sweets: apple tartatin.

Fois gras parfait: this was absolutely divine. We've had this at numerous places in Vancouver & NYC. This was hands down the absolute best. Flavour was superb. Temperature was on point. Bread was toasted while not being crunchy. Pickled veg did not overpower. It was perfection.

Braised veal cheeks - perfectly braised, not grainy/dry cardboard that sometimes happens or overly braised melting into a mess in your mouth with no texture. Perfect mouthfeel. Celeriac gave a nice contrast to the richness of the meat compared to mashed potatoes. Sauce was amazingly decadent.

Steak frites: hangar steak was juicy, tender, & very beefy. Fries were perfectly crispy & seasoned! I cant say for certain but it tastes like they were brined before frying? Either way, the outside was not covered in salt but the entire fry was flavourful. Mayo - delicious. Got to 1/3 of the steak & realized it was a bit under temp. Laura agreed before I could finish my sentence. (More on Laura below). Laura came back after with the steak that was replated with new fries & mayo & an added bernaise sauce.

Tart: simple & delicious. While the bottom of the tart isnt crispy, I didnt find it detracted from the overall as the sides were crispy.

Laura: she is an amazing server. She didnt hover, but was always aware. She kept an eye on our drinks level out of her periphery, she immediately glanced at my steak after my first slice with the knife, she choreographed the next items masterfully. She managed the section like a true pro with customers feeling like she was always within reach, while not feeling hovered over. She struck that beautiful balance with ease.

In all of our dining experiences, this was the best - & Laura played no small part in that!

I love eating at the bar here & the crowd is so beautiful that it rivals the exquisite French food. It is worthy of the Michelin attention it received.

Très très belle restaurant. La nourriture était exceptionnel, je recommande la pieuvre elle est magnifique. L'atmosphère & la service était aussi très acceptable. Assez silencieux pour une propre conversation.

This is the highlight of our trip, for dinner for sure. We were on a seven night road trip & had reservations for dinner in a different spot each night, this is our stand out favorite! It was a holiday trip, so reservations were a must, but how amazing Monarque is, I would advise to always reserve a seat so you don't miss out. It was my wife & I & our two young boy, & all of us agree that we would be regulars anytime we are in Montréal. We sat in the Brasserie as no tables were available in the Salle à Manger was not available at the time we wanted to dine, but that was not a disappointment, it was a tease! This environment is so comfortable & it instantly makes you feel like you are in an experience, not just sitting for a meal. & it an excellent experience at that. Our service was wanting for nothing, the staff seemed to all be part of a Swiss watch operating towards our pleasure, comfort & culinary pleasure. Everyone was so knowledgeable & thoughtful about the food, drinks, their story & it all works so well. We ate & drank as much as we could & still wanted more. I can not wait to return, sit in the Salle Á Manger, I'll sit in every seat in the place if give the opportunity. Thank you so very much, for the work you do, the joy & comfort that you provide to all who pass into you amazing establishment. Please, go to Monarque if you have the chance.

Beautiful restaurant with good food, but unfortunately not ideal for birthdays celebrations.

The restaurant has a no-cake policy, which is completely understandable. However, staff were informed in advance that a cake was being brought as a surprise. Instead of addressing this privately when the cake was brought in, the policy was announced to me & the entire table during service. I was then told we could not eat the cake & could only take pictures with it, which was unfortunate that I found about such a kind surprise with such a lack of discretion from the restaurants manager.

Additionally, the manager who assisted our table (was assigned at the end of our service) had a strong cigarette smell, which was surprising given this is a Michelin Guide restaurant.

There was also confusion around billing, we were told everything was settled & handed the card back, only to then be chased outside & told payment was never run by the staff despite that being explicitly requested & confirmed via our waitress, which was uncomfortable & again just completely unprofessional.

It appears the manager had no sense of the communication that happened with our wait staff prior to her taking over our service.

The space is lovely & the food was good, but the service & discretion did not meet expectations.

Good service, you can tell the staff really cares about your experience. Went for the NYE 4-course. Interesting meal pairings that tasted good but could use some more diversity.

Monarque fait partie de ces restaurants où je reviens encore & encore, & à chaque visite, c'est le même émerveillement.
La cuisine est tout simplement exceptionnelle : raffinée, savoureuse, toujours maîtrisée.
J'ai un coup de coeur particulier pour le coin donnant sur la cuisine - voir les chefs à l'oeuvre, la précision des gestes, l'énergie & la passion derrière chaque assiette rend l'expérience encore plus magique.
Un lieu vivant, inspirant, & constamment à la hauteur. Une valeur sûre à Montréal

Nous ne connaissions pas le Monarque & avons été agréablement surpris. Les plats étaient absolument délicieux.
Nous avons commandé plusieurs plats, certains à partager, & tout était divin. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accompagnement des vins, qui étaient exquis & s'harmonisaient parfaitement avec nos repas.
Nous vous remercions pour cette expérience mémorable.

We are in the main restaurant. The food was great: interesting flavours & looked nice. The space is big, with many people, & feels a bit generic.
