Monarque was incredible from start to finish. The bone marrow was to die for, the pork chop was so tender I'm still thinking about it, & the French fries were honestly the best I've ever had.

The service staff was attentive, warm, & you could really tell they cared about the restaurant & the experience. The space is beautiful, & even though it was busy, we never felt it.

I can't wait to go back - I've been thinking about it since Friday.

Over rated. This restaurant is for visitors, not for gourmet food lovers.

1.0

On May 17, the manager on duty disrespected me & yelled at me in front of other guests because I asked to change my table.

I mistakenly booked the bar instead of a table, so I asked the hostess if we could move to a table. The hostess was helpful & offered me a table with a time limitation. I took a few minutes to confirm because I wanted to discuss it with my fiancée & didn't want to rush our dinner.

When we made the decision to move with the time limitation, I went to confirm the change with the hostess, but because she was on the phone, the manager jumped in. Since he had no context of the situation, he lost his composure & became aggressive & confrontational

He did move us to a table, but not without mocking & belittling me in the process. For obvious reasons, we had to leave the restaurant.

We visited again after 3 years & the quality of the food is exceptional as always. Try their bone marrow, crab tartare, dry aged ribeye.

Meilleur restaurant Gastronomique à Montreal avec celui de Jerome Ferrer. Meilleur que Toque.
Les plats sont parfaitement exécutés. Le service au comptoir est excellent, super interactions avec les barmans / serveur. On peut avoir des explications sur les alcools ou simplement parler cuisine. Pour un passionné de gastronomie, c'est un régal !
Seul point négatif, comptoir ou salle à manger gastronomique : un peu bruyant.
