A lovely place. Very warm, relax & cosy restaurant with positive vibes & very nice professional service. Food & menus been very well thought & carefully crafted. However some taste & ingredients were not working for me. Middle course/warm starter, uni (sea urchin) was delicious. Sea bass perfectly cooked but the chilli sauce was not exactly matching. Not sure of the big sized anchovies on a tartare either (cold starter). Will try the bistro side next time.

This was my first time experiencing Monarque & I will certainly be going again.
As soon as you enter the decor & ambiance are fantastic, you can choose to eat at the brasserie or main restaurant & make sure to look up both as the menu varies.
The wait staff is attentive making sure our glasses are promptly filled (water & wine) & the table is tidy.
Our waiter was very helpful in describing the dishes & allowing us to make choices based on in depth descriptions, he was spot on !
We started with two cocktails, the Monarque & pistache. Both were perfectly balanced & although the ingredients might sound strange they were both delicious!
The bone marrow is fantastic served with escargots & a rich & flavorful reduction.
The tartare was perfectly executed with waffle fries & endives.
The bouillabaisse was beautifully filled with various seafood & a fantastic broth.
The veal sirloin was perfectly cooked & seasoned served on top of a ratatouille, one cannot ask for a better dish !
The waiter was also excellent at suggesting excellent wine pairings with each of our courses.
A definite must if you want a great overall dining experience.

As with pretty much anything in this city, this is nailed perfectly. Modern French bistro. Cool vibe. Eclectic, well-researched wine list. Friendly & professional service. & compared to Vancouver or Toronto the prices are extremely reasonable.

If you want a great French bistro experience, go here.

First course, bison tartare, fresh & savoury, anchovies added a wonderful salty twist & cured egg yolk a rich sauce.
Second course, seared foie gras & potato alla chitarra. Foie gras was just decadent, perfectly cooked & salted. Sweet & tangy sauce cuts the richness perfectly. Potato alla chitarra, wonderful bite to the potato, rich sauce accompanied by a sort of mashed potato sausage. Creative & delicious.
Main course, venison & piglet. Venison served with seared mushroom & a tart pan sauce. Perfectly rare, surpisingly tender for game. Piglet tender & juicy. Hoisin-esque sauce. Interesting pork sausage wrapped in cabbage, though this last part was not exactly my speed it was objectively delicious.

Cocktails were complex but not pretentious, sweet & tasty unlike so many fancy cocktails.

Came for my birthday & they brought complementary mini pastries.

The service was fast, polite & perfectly over-the-top. Felt taken care of, well received & exactly as one would want to on a special evening. Expensive & worth every penny.
