incredibly nice staff & delicious food, I recommend it. We came from Toronto & vacationed there with friends! This is officially the best restaurant I've visited in Canada!

Creative French food & excellent service The restaurant is large & busy, with a sophisticated touch. The buzz around doesn't stop you from being able to hear who is at the table. Additionally, there is a special wing downstairs that I assume is for reservations exceeding 8 people (nice that the group can have privacy) The food is very tasty, creative, with great presentations. As a recommendation, I leave the Foie Gras (sea buckthor, duck pastrami, candy cap, brioche feuilletee) which came accompanied by a small croassaint & a gelatin film (?!), delicious & extremely creative! The Ravioli was very intriguing, with each bite I could taste more flavors, high on the list of recommendations. Tuna Tartare & Green Asparagus were disappointing, they had a good presentation but the flavor left something to be desired. Olivia's service should be left here as a note of great affection. She was very attentive & helped me with choosing & tasting the wine. I would definitely come back! Ps:. great visual identity

After changing our reservation from the dining room to the bistro on the recommendation of some people we met, two seats at the bar were graciously pulled out for our use. Monarque is a beautifully designed restaurant, cavernous, elegant & sophisticated, but oh so comfortable. The client is at the center of Monarque's universe. Serge, incomparable, professional, & exuding warmth, was our bartender/server par excellence. He turned our dinner from a meal into a memory. Yet, Monarque's kitchen doesn't allow the decor & hospitality to take center stage. The food at Monarque is trés magnifique. Yes, the menu might skew old school, but in the end, isn't it about taste? Alinea, the renown temple of creativity in Chicago, created food that was unique, but nothing tasted good. We left unhappy. At Monarque, we started with the Gougères, rarely seen in North America. They are bite sized pâte à choux made with Gruyère. They are out of this world, & I could eat dozens of em. My ocean trout tartare was the perfect palate cleanser, light & refreshing. The indulgent Foie Gras parfait, paired with toast, was creamy & delicious. For our mains, we ordered the bouillabaisse & lobster thermador. Both were amazing, large portions, & had us slurping & smacking our lips. Monarque's wine list is extensive & eclectic. My martini was mixed perfectly by Joanna, another gracious Monarque bartender. Monarque is a wonderful restaurant. It isn't cheap, but it's well worth the outlay. Go & have a memorable experience.

Sat in the bar area (I recommend that over the dining room). Food was amazing. Waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable & professional. She recommended the PERFECT bottle of wine for our meals. We loved it & it reminded us why we come back to Monarque every few months. Outstanding food - Great service!
