Visiting the city & decided to dine with them for a birthday celebration. It was highly rated on Google & recommended by many. But our experience was quite bizarre.

First of all, we walked in & were guided to our table. Our server never made an appearance or introduced herself. Some other staff helped us with our coats. We were seated for a while & she was no where to be found, another staff swung by to give us the wine list & menu. She was no where to be found. Finally, she came by. She didnt know the menu well enough to answer our questions (she was honest abt it. But that doesnt make it ok). Idk if she was that busy or just avoided our table & eye contact at all times, very inattentive. It took her so long to come to our table, other staff had to step in & come check on us.

The food itself was ok. Impressed with some dishes more than others. But they mixed up our main courses. & they dont reli explain the dish upon serving, so thank god i know what i ordered. Plus the super long waits in between. Our dinner was 3+ hours for 3 courses.

Our server didn't come back to take our dessert order or the bill. Two other different staff stepped in…

Overall, very mid experience for what we were paying for.

Nous nous sommes régalés ! Mon coup de coeur la moelle & les escargots sont excellents. &, la bouillabaisse un classique à chaque visite.

Had dinner at Monarque while visiting Montreal since it's ranked the #1 restaurant in the city & made Canada's Top 100 list. The vibe was great-elegant but not stuffy-& the service was super attentive. The food is classic French, really well done. Highly recommend the bone marrow escargot & foie gras-both were rich, flavorful, & absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a solid French dining experience, this place is definitely worth checking out!

It was amazing, the food was so good & the staff was so nice. I love those restaurants where you have our own waiter/waitress but also the rest of the staff is checking on you in case you need anything. Great experience!

Easily in the top 5 in Montreal right now. Good service, often even great. Steady, precise, fresh & well prepared food at a very decent price point. All their meat cuts from PEI is superb & Bouillabaisse is a must. The wine list is great with a large scope in price, geography & eclecticism.
I had the pleasure of eating at Monarque 4-5 times in the past year & every time I have an opportunity to eat with friends or family downtown, it is everyone's go to. Given the depth of choices for restaurants in the area, it says a lot. One star removed for the atmosphere, because last time we were seated near the bathroom stairs & the smell of cleaning products was overpowering.

Nous vous remercions pour avoir fait de notre anniversaire de mariage un moments hors norme. Félicitations à toute votre équipe!

Gloriously designed with an attention to detail, I loved this place. The food was a taste buds explosion of complex flavours. The drinks were refreshing & with a twist. I loved the Monarch design linked from the drinks to the glass bottle & as a pin on the server's uniform. The viewing into the kitchen was entertaining & impressive. I did not have a single bad dish to eat. We tried every starter with the exception of one. Loved them all. The Rabbit special was so good. The veal cheek melts in your mouth. Our server was so good & I appreciated her attentiveness. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Tellement une belle expérience! J'ai été avec mon copain & le service de Colin était impeccable. Il nous a fait de très bonnes recommandations & il était très professionnel.

La nourriture était excellente & le vin que nous avons pris également.
