Monarque est largement reconnu comme une destination gastronomique de premier plan à Montréal, offrant une expérience sophistiquée qui marie les techniques classiques françaises à une touche culinaire moderne. Les convives louent régulièrement la grande qualité des ingrédients et la précision des plats, citant fréquemment des incontournables comme l'os à moelle aux escargots, le confit de canard et divers tartares. Bien que l'atmosphère soit décrite comme élégante, magnifique et animée, certains clients notent que le lieu peut être bruyant et que l'éclairage de la section brasserie peut paraître trop intense.

Solid 4 stars resteraunt. Food is good & wine list is extensive. Service is good but the resteraunt can be very busy. Highly recommend to make reservation ahead of time. We have a group of 7 & we got seated in front of the kitchen. Good atmosphere & everyone like the food.
I love this restaurant from ambience, service to food. My table was served by 4-5 waiters/ waitress. A gentleman served water, another one served us wine, they let me taste my wine to make sure I'm satisfied with my choice before serving it! I picked Vin de Franz, white wine as I had seafood bouillabaisse for main course. We had a bone marrow & French snails cooked with red wine for appetizer, it was excellent. The bouillabaisse was amazing too! I will definitely come back for duck confit & lamb shoulder. Really highly recommended!
An absolute amazing experience. My husband & I sat at the bar, enjoyed a couple starters & some cocktails. The white asparagus starter really stole the show. So delicious. The bone marrow & escargots, was exquisite & very rich (in a good way)
The octopus was cooked to perfection & paired so well with the ginger carrot puree.
The Pistache cocktail was the number one best cocktail I've ever had in my life (12 years of working in restaurants )
Beautifully balanced., such a complex cocktail created with pure harmony. I will dream of this cocktail.
We then continued our culinary journey with the pan seared tuna & braised lamb. We left our plates clean. Everything was delicious.
We ended our night with the pavlova & crème brûlée dessert. My husband, not really a fan of desserts in general, practically licked his plate clean.
The highlight of our night, was Serge the Barman. What an amazing, kind & gentle man. Truly gives the definition of'gentleman'
Extremely attentive & knowledgeable about his menu & wines.
We will certainly come back for the food, & definitely stay for Serge.
10000/10. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you.

Amazing night. The food was great, the service was impeccable, the atmosphere was also very good. The Desserts were good but not amazing but the rest was very good. It was better than some of the bistrots that I went to in Paris more recently... one of the best meals I have had in a while. The
Cuisse de Canard was as good as I would get in Paris... also had a pretty well served wine list & the waiter really knew his menu - was a professional through & through.
My appetite opened the minute I walked into the dining room! Love the open kitchen concept & the open cellar & curing meats on display as well. The Calanges mocktail was a beautiful discovery & the wine list! Enough said. Service was on point. Every dish was succulent! The grilled foie gras was a perfect balance of crispy & tender, acid & fatty. Absolutely beautiful presentation & flavors. The crab tart was a bit too light on flavor & was served a bit too cold to allow the delicate seasonings to shine. The P.E.I. steak dish was a feast for the senses. The salad dressing was a superb fit for the greens & the endives & the gratin dauphinois was the icing on the cake. The evening was an absolute delight! Will definitely return.
A lively spot for dinner with all the French classics. A little something for everyone. My boyfriend wanted to have a steak & I wanted something other than a steak. Did not disappoint. We had the most tender grilled octopus here (melt on your mouth), crispy cod fritters, striploin & fries with a side of sauteed mushrooms, duck confit & finished off the evening with an eclair. I would come back here just to devour a plate of their fries. Crispy on the outside, creamy & soft on the inside & bursting of potato flavor. They have a fantastic wine list also. Highly recommend the Hidalgo Albert Fina (red wine).
Without doubt the rudest, most high on their own supply Maitre'd ever encountered, who is a detriment to an otherwise adequate showing worthy of a cold night with little on the calendar. Food good if not inspired, winelist a gem or two. Bar staff knowledgeable & friendly.
Such a great restaurant...
Depending upon your palate & food tastes, you can book accordingly... The last time I was there my wife & I sat at the bar... It was sooo fun! Same food & wine - but the bartender repartee was amazing!!
Great Saturday night dinner at Monarque. Beautiful restaurant, bustling with people & great energy. We ate in the Brasserie. The food, wine, service, & overall vibe were all excellent. For starters, our table of four shared the octopus & trout tartare with such fresh bread.& butter that was so good we had two servings. The mains were delicious tuna & the lamb special served with vegetables & potatoes that melted in your mouth. Dessert was an excellent tartine, the combination of apples & ice cream was perfect & so yum. We also enjoyed a really nice bottle of red wine. Just an all-around great night.
