The food is fantastic & presented beautifully. We ordered several plates, some to share, & everything was out of this world. We enjoyed everything we tried. Our meals were paired with exquisite wine. Our server Phillipe was extremely attentive & friendly.

Had dinner here in the main dining area, & it was exceptional across the board. Very extensive wine list (think >500 options) for those who know their way around a bottle. Service was attentive & friendly but not overbearing. Favorite main dishes were the tuna tartare, venison, braised leek / tortellini, & roasted duck, but the single best thing I ate was probably the passion fruit pavlova - still dreaming of it!
We are Anglophones & had some reservations that we might not get great service at a higher end establishment in Montreal, but it was not an issue at all. The staff clearly take their jobs seriously - if you reciprocate by appreciating the experience & being engaged (i.e. not staring at your phone all evening), you can expect to receive good service :)

Amazing experience! The food was exceptional, standouts were the bone marrow & hummus appetizers. The service followed with friendly & attentive staff, thank you to Andreanne the manager for her attention & experience.

Two Dining Experiences at Monarque: Exceptional & Very Good (Overall Rating: 4.5/5)
?My spouse & I enjoyed our Monarque experience, particularly the evening we spent in the Salle à Manger. The food there was truly exceptional; each dish was thoughtfully presented, deeply flavorful, & easily the memorable highlight of our visit.
?The Brasserie also offered very good food, though it didn't quite match the high standard set by the Salle à Manger.
?Regarding service, our main server in the Salle à Manger was attentive & dedicated, & their efforts were genuinely appreciated.
In the Brasserie there were some minor language barriers with our main server & a small missed opportunity to offer us an additional glass of wine.
?One suggestion, which would have made our Brasserie visit as spectacular as the Salle à Manger, is to ensure that all diners, especially those with language or cultural differences, feel especially welcomed & catered to.
Overall, staff made us feel warmly welcomed & comfortable, giving us an exceptional dining experience at Monarque.

Didn't expect much when making a reservation here, thinking it would be just another French restaurants in Montreal. Glad we were wrong. The food was exceptionally flavorful, with ingredients that were masterfully blended to complement each other perfectly. The servers were welcoming & attentive. A must if you're around the area.

We ate from the brasserie menu-what a delicious meal with perfectly timed, attentive service. We had the bone marrow, which was easily the best bite of our trip to Montréal (best bite of food I've had this year), & I had the duck, which was so savory & crispy & tender. My husband had the swordfish special, which was lovely, but we agreed that my duck was the clear winner. We split a mille feuille for dessert, which ticked all the boxes that a dessert should! The restaurant space is beautiful & I would love to go back & try the full tasting menu/sit in front of the window into the kitchen.

I went here for a group event. The waiters were super attentive & it was a very nice evening. I loved the food from the menu we got. All the dishes were delicious. I really recommend the restaurant for group events. It was perfect.

We recently visited Monarque & really enjoyed our meal. A note for future diners: when making reservations, be mindful that Monarque has two distinct menus-one is a more casual brasserie/tapas style, & the other is a formal sit-down menu. We opted for the formal dining room this time.
The plating was beautiful, & the food was delicious overall. I tried the guinea fowl, which was executed nicely, though the accompanying sauce was a touch too salty for my taste. My in-laws ordered the large rib of beef to share, which came with a salad of endives & patates dauphinoises (so delicious, & yes, very buttery).
Service was attentive without being rushed, & the atmosphere made for a great evening out with family. We would definitely return to try the brasserie section next time, which looks like it offers a wider selection on the menu.

We had a wonderful lunch at Monarque & were truly impressed by the entire experience. The service was excellent, every staff member was friendly, attentive, & constantly smiling, which made us feel so welcomed.
Both the cocktails & mocktails were well-crafted & reasonably priced, adding a refreshing touch to our meal. The food was absolutely fantastic & surprisingly affordable compared to similar fine dining spots in Toronto. My top favorite was the bone marrow, only $24 for a huge portion & packed with flavour. A must-try!
Highly recommend Monarque for anyone visiting Montreal. We'll definitely be back again in the future!

I had a delicious dinner last night at Monarque. Sat at the bar & Johanna served us. She was so nice, friendly, helpful & attentive. In fact all the staff are friendly & so polite. Had the signature Monarque cocktail which was perfect. The halibut, salad & cauliflower were delicious, so tasty & beautifully prepared. We didn't have room for dessert unfortunately, I know their desserts are fantastic as well.
What makes Monarque so special is the great ambiance, delicious food, excellent service & friendliness of all the staff. Can't be beaten!! Looking forward to my next visit!!

This restaurant had been on our list for a while, & our visit was well worth it. The welcome was warm & professional, & the service was attentive without being intrusive. The wine recommendation was perfect & beautifully complemented each dish.
We started with a delicious foie gras, followed by the evening's special: a tender & flavorful short rib. The meal ended on a sweet note with refined mignardises, perfectly balanced in taste & texture.
The restaurant's aesthetics are impeccable, but one small detail slightly affected the experience. From where we were seated, we could hear the staff exchanging unprofessional remarks about some customers. It didn't impact the service directly, but a bit more discretion would have made the experience flawless.
That said, with its excellent cuisine & elegant setting, this is a place I highly recommend.

We went as we saw that Chef Nancy Oakes was there Friday night.
My friend had been to the restaurant before, but it was my first visit. It was a bonus to be seated next to the window that allows you to see the kitchen staff in action.
The service is excellent. Very attentive & friendly staff, who , when I mentionned I felt some dishes too salty, made sure I was given a new dish with less salt & that all subsequent ones were made accordingly.
The food was excellent, the portions just right for a 7 course meal.
We were surprised though with the dessert: un chocolat fondant was a bit « ho hum » for a menu of that caliber.
The restaurant was full that night so the noise level was a bit high, but overall a pleasant experience.

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!

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.

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.
Nat
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.
Margaret
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!
Bryce
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.

Dining at Monarque was a memorable experience. We got reservations for the brasserie, which was very nice inside but more casual than a strict fine dining environment, & had nice views of the kitchen. Staff were attentive & professional the whole night, & the coat check was nice. For cocktails, the Lady Marmalade was my favorite for a juicy option, or the oddjob otherwise. The spritz mocktail was a little underwhelming, & tasted more like a seltzer. Appetizers vary in size, so check with the server if you want to share. The prosciutto salad was lovely, it had just enough flavor between the salty meat & touch of dressing, & a mix of textures from the almond. Recommend the wild mushroom gnocchi as a delicious vegetarian appetizer, & the lamb with the ravioli was indulgently tender. The duck was fantastic: flavorful & perfectly cooked. The lamb was also just the right amount done, not overly heavy but rich with the sauce. The cornish hen was good, though not remarkable. I liked their rendition of bouillabaisse. I highly suggest the tarte tatin as a shareable appetizer for two or three people, it had soft spiced apples & a flakey crust. The peach cobbler was delicious, & the mango pavolva was very fresh- the mango topping was tart, which I personally much prefer. I might like the center a little more done in the pavlova. My meal here felt cohesive, & in the brasserie I could pick & choose from a variety of options. I highly recommend Monarque for a nice occasion, its also quite accessible from the underground city if you want to walk there in the winter months.

The chic decor & attentive staff stood out. The pretzel was fantastic, hot from the oven. The octopus was good, though the chorizo was a bit strong. The steak was juicy, & the duck had nice flavors. The cheesecake was a bit dry, & the prune compote overpowered it, though the figs were fresh. Overall, the price was fair for the quality. Worth a visit!
