Had an amazing experience at Monarque - the service was attentive, the food superb, & the cost very reasonable. We shared the chicken soup which is triple boiled & dressed up with all sorts of herbs which really hit the spot on the chilly day. For the main course, my spouse had the cod with a risotto which was delicious & I had the pork chop with a japanese peppercorn sauce that was among the best meals I've had in a considerably long time. I usually don't spring for dessert but every plate was excellent so I decided to go for the mango pavlova which was presented well & baked perfection. Can't recommend this place strongly enough.

Trendy restaurant with a great ambiance. I had the catch of the day, which was the best prepared cod I have ever tasted. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic food & great service! even thought it was a busy evening (new year's eve) the team handled every table with care & attentiveness. The grilled octopus, cod & tuna were stunning & delicious. The eclair with the tres leches out of this world! If you are in Montreal you have to stop by this spot! Worth every penny.

Dinner here was delightful! Service was top notch & attentive & we enjoyed the recommended three courses (four, if you add dessert). We found the portions small enough to accommodate all three although the third course could have been split. Our favorite dish was the miso black cod! Would strongly recommend for a birthday dinner or anyone traveling from out of town!

I'm captivated by the two menus, one for the front of the house & another for the back. The brasserie's rendition of French bistro cuisine truly resonates with me because it's so straightforward & authentic to the style.

Superb & attentive service & excellent food. We had an early dinner reservation here, & due to unforeseen circumstances, we were in a rush. We informed the staff, & we were seated rapidly. Our appetizers arrived in less than 10 minutes & our main courses came less than 5 minutes later. We were done with our meal in less than an hour, leaving us plenty of time. All the wait staff we interacted with really went above & beyond to get us a quick meal that didn't feel rushed or stressed. The food itself was great. The hummus was unique & the chicken soup had a robust flavor. The milk chocolate creme brulee was delicious & had just the right level of sweetness. I'd highly recommend this place - extraordinary service is rare these days, & this place has it.

The pithivier was one of the best entrees I have ever had. The tuna tartare with foie gras combination was to die for.
