Classic French, excellent food & excellent service. I need to mention this, my wife ordered a glass of wine & asked our server their thoughts on it... He was charming & honest & said in the nicest way it was not good & offered her a taste. It was not very good & my wife ordered a different glass. Excellent service.

Went here for the first time last night to celebrate my anniversary with my partner. I wrote a comment in the reservation but never spoke about it during the dinner. They came out with a dessert tasting menu & a candle to celebrate it. Our waiter recommended a sparkling wine & I accepted but didn't love the taste so he immediately got me something that speaks more to my pallet preferences without charging us. He managed our expectations well when I ordered the beef cut & told us it would take about 25 mins. We accepted. Highly recommend the lobster farroto. The flavour profile was impressive! The attention to detail, the responsive staff, the quality of the food - absolutely worth the price.

I had dinner with a friend at this restaurant last week. I had one of the best meals of my life! Everything was perfect : the food, the service & the wine.

We really liked the food. Tasty & nice. The service is perfect. High class. For our group it was too loud. The only recommendation is to have at least one non-alcoholic wine in the menu🍷

Nice & comfortable spot with plenty of availability on a snowy Sunday evening. Very accommodating of our baby Averie. Great appetizers, entrees were hit or miss but the steak frites was dope. Good wine list too but if you want to snag the baller bottles that are fairly priced you better get there early in the week ; )

Beautiful bistro style restaurant. We had a beer, a glass of wine & an order of the lamb poutine. It was delicious. Such a lovely spot to grab a nice drink & some light bites. Would highly recommend.

This was my first time experiencing Monarque & I will certainly be going again.
As soon as you enter the decor & ambiance are fantastic, you can choose to eat at the brasserie or main restaurant & make sure to look up both as the menu varies.
The wait staff is attentive making sure our glasses are promptly filled (water & wine) & the table is tidy.
Our waiter was very helpful in describing the dishes & allowing us to make choices based on in depth descriptions, he was spot on !
We started with two cocktails, the Monarque & pistache. Both were perfectly balanced & although the ingredients might sound strange they were both delicious!
The bone marrow is fantastic served with escargots & a rich & flavorful reduction.
The tartare was perfectly executed with waffle fries & endives.
The bouillabaisse was beautifully filled with various seafood & a fantastic broth.
The veal sirloin was perfectly cooked & seasoned served on top of a ratatouille, one cannot ask for a better dish !
The waiter was also excellent at suggesting excellent wine pairings with each of our courses.
A definite must if you want a great overall dining experience.

As with pretty much anything in this city, this is nailed perfectly. Modern French bistro. Cool vibe. Eclectic, well-researched wine list. Friendly & professional service. & compared to Vancouver or Toronto the prices are extremely reasonable.

If you want a great French bistro experience, go here.

Second time at Monarque, food just as good as the first. Everything was cooked beautifully, & with the exception of the halibut, presented uniquely & deliciously. Every single cocktail was outstanding as well, highly reccommend the 'pistache'.
Our server was unfriendly & blatantly condescending. I ordered a gin martini & he made an obvious scoff & quite literally shook his head when I didn't specify which gin. Specifying house was fine, he made a perpetually sarcastic offer of tanqueray. Totally ruined the vibe of the service.
I'll be back for the food, wine, & not the service.
