Les avis sur Monarque convergent vers une expérience culinaire souvent remarquable et variée selon la section brasserie ou salle a manger, avec une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse et une décoration qui respire le quartier. La cuisine est globalement raffinée, des plats phares comme l os a moelle, le tartare de thon, la bouillabaisse et le canard confit revenant avec des saveurs bien équilibrées et des textures travaillées. Le service est majoritairement attentif et professionnel, mais des témoignages signalent des variations selon les serveurs et des temps d attente. La carte propose une large sélection de plats et de vins; certaines portions sont jugées généreuses et le rapport qualité prix favorable, tandis que d autres les trouvent plus petites et les prix élevés. Les desserts et les finitions connaissent des avis contrastés. La réservation est fortement recommandée en raison de l affluence et de l ambiance animée. Dans l ensemble Monarque est perçu comme une adresse phare du quartier, offrant une experience culinaire française contemporaine de haut niveau avec un équilibre entre elegance et confort, malgré quelques bémols sur le bruit, la temperature et certains plats qui n ont pas totalement convaincu.
Delicious experience, highly recommended for special occasions. We went to the dining room on a Friday night. Pros: -Excellent service from the reservation until the end of the dinner. They accepted that I made a bouquet delivered the same day to the restaurant, & to be given at the table once we sat. -The food was creative & delicious! One of the most impressive restaurants I had the chance to try in Montreal. -Portions were made perfectly for a 4 services dinner as they mentioned. We are rather small eaters, & had to push a little to finish it. -Nice ambiance inside the dining area, with mirrors all around. Cons: -More a « be aware » than a negative point: Expect around 150$ per person without alcool. However the experience is worth it. -The lamb was not to our expectations flavour wise & cooked wise. I would advise to take something else. Note: -I highly recommend the « Snow Crab Tartlet », & mostly the dessert « Strawberry & rhubarb galette » that was incredible.

Upscale restaurant in the older part of Montreal. The hostess was very welcoming & accommodating we had a reservation for 8pm which we were able to move forward to 7pm. We really appreciated the flexibility after a long day at the Montreal Grand Prix. We had seats at the bar which worked well for us. The bar staff were friendly & it was fun watching them work. The stand out dish for us was the Bone Marrow appetizer. The only improvement would be to add an extra slice of toast because there was too much bone marrow for just one slice. Entrees were solid at a price I'd expect for a higher end restaurant. Highly recommend the passion fruit pavlova for dessert. It was the right balance of sweet & tart in a huge slice.
Went here for the first time last night to celebrate my anniversary with my partner. I wrote a comment in the reservation but never spoke about it during the dinner. They came out with a dessert tasting menu & a candle to celebrate it. Our waiter recommended a sparkling wine & I accepted but didn't love the taste so he immediately got me something that speaks more to my pallet preferences without charging us. He managed our expectations well when I ordered the beef cut & told us it would take about 25 mins. We accepted. Highly recommend the lobster farroto. The flavour profile was impressive! The attention to detail, the responsive staff, the quality of the food - absolutely worth the price.
We made reservations here for our anniversary dinner & it did not disappoint! We sat at the bar (highly recommend!) & really enjoyed our dining experience from start to end. Staff were amazing, friendly & was evident they really enjoyed their environment. Service was prompt & attentive. Loved the vibe & atmosphere of the restaurant. Last but not least, the food. Incredible dishes all around. We ordered oysters, bone marrow, pear & prosciutto salad, steak & braised veal cheek. Every single dish blew us out of the water. Finished with their chocolate cake that was also a hit. Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening!
The food was so good. The duck was perfectly cooked & they have the best chocolate cake I have ever had in my life. I highly recommend if you want a nice dinne

Beautiful bistro style restaurant. We had a beer, a glass of wine & an order of the lamb poutine. It was delicious. Such a lovely spot to grab a nice drink & some light bites. Would highly recommend.
Great ambiance & great attention from the service. The dishes were great but the Tarte Tatin was especially devine! I highly recommend it! Perfect to be shared!
I went to this restaurant with my husband for his birthday & we had an exceptional gastronomic experience. The dishes were exquisite, from the taste to the presentation. We could savour every flavour that was written on the menu. The restaurant’s decoration was very cozy & we felt very comfortable there. The only downside was that the desserts were not as refined as the main courses, even though they had pastry chefs. They also could not make a cake for less than 8 people, which was a pity. But overall, it was an amazing meal & I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves fine dining
