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.
This is a true culinary experience. They recommend you take one course per section of the menu but as a big group, you could easily manage two & be perfectly full & delighted. The service was friendly & warm. We even got a tour of one of the 3 kitchens! Very high end & delicious Montreal restaurant! Very recommended
This was a disappointing dinner. The service & atmosphere were good but the food did not live up. I had the ribeye. It was unseasoned, too thin & really just not a very good cut of beef for the price. Other dishes were mixed. The drinks were pretty good. The presentation was good as shown by the pictures I took. But it just didn't deliver on food.
Nice place with nice design. The reception was very good, but service afterwards ( different person ) could improve. Food is ok, but nothing crazy, except the " charbonnière cod " which was above. Very expensive for what it is. I am sure the rent is expensive in this location, but food is " regular " & not worth what I pay for. For the same quality, there are similar places very close by, but half the price. Salle a manger dinner! Verdict : give it a try.
Vacationing in Montreal, found this Fodor's guide. Better than the description. The food was delicious, the service was great, & the atmosphere is dynamic. This is the kind of restaurant that can only be found in a great city; the number of people taking care of us was amazing. The people who work here are were fabulous. The organization is impeccable. The prices are worth the quality of service & food. You will not be disappointed.

I'm absolutely loving this spot! The contemporary design is sleek & modern, & the two separate salons offer a unique & intimate atmosphere. But the real treat is the food , it's absolutely delicious! & the desserts? Heavenly! They literally melt in your mouth. I'm talking swoon-worthy, can''t get enough goodness. Whether you're looking for a night out with friends or a cozy evening with coffee, I highly recommend stopping by. Trust me, you won't be disappointed
Nice place & a trendy room. Food was done very well & service was efficient; however, the experience was fairly basic & a bit flat as we felt more like a transaction as opposed to guests. Better places to go in Montreal but this is a solid option if you're looking for something upscale with good food!
Nous avons mangé à une table brasserie. La nourriture était savoureuse, des bonnes portions & une excellente ambiance. La raison principale pourquoi je voulais faire un avis: le personnel! Que ce soit l'hôtesse ou les serveurs, tout le monde était d'un professionnalisme exemplaire & dégageait une joie de travailler dans ce milieu. Je recommande pour n'importe quelle occasion
J'ai été impressionné par la grandeur de la salle à manger de la brasserie & surtout par l'immense comptoir & son mur de bouteilles de vins. L'ambiance est dynamique, on peut assister au travail en cuisine à travers les grandes vitres de la salle. J'ai aimé le service professionnel & efficace, il y a beaucoup d'employés pour servir. La carte des plats est assez diversifiée pour offrir plusieurs choix de viandes, poissons & légumes à nous trois. Tout ce qu'on a choisi était bon, entrées, plats principaux & desserts. Mais rien n'était'très' bon, ni très bien présenté. Par exemple la salade qui venait avec le homard thermidor était copieuse mais vraiment commune & sans effort de présentation. Ou la mousse au chocolat était grosse & avait bon goût, mais rien de plus. On a trouvé que les prix n'étaient pas exagérés mais en conclusion, en l'absence de wow dans l'assiette, on a eu une impression d'inachevé.

This is definitely a high-end restaurant, but not fine-dining per se. They put a lot of effort into the dishes & the presentation is lovely. That said - the lobster I had was overcooked & in general, I wouldn't say this place was super memorable or had me mind-blown with it's creativity (the biggest surprise for the evening was the tomato/strawberry dessert). Good food, nothing special, not sure if it's worth the price.
We visited Monarque by recommendation of my husband's colleague who visiting Montreal regularly. We love it! We chose to dine in its casual more affordable price point Monarque Brasserie & we visited twice as the first time was excellent! I will review both visit in 3 days apart in key areas that important to our dining experience. SERVICE The first greeting, table seating & our table service was immaculate & contributed & complemented our first dining experience at Monarque. The personnel who looked after us on Tues 23 July 24 (sorry we did not get your name) was absolutely fantastic! One of the best, & the best asset to the establishment! He was professional, attentive but not intrusive. He was helpful with the wine & frankly making us deciding to ho back 2nd time even we had many other restaurants in our wish list. We only had 5 dinners in the city & we chose Monarque twice. The second service was amiss, unfortunately. Greeting was cold, no smile, no eyes contact, took us to the wrong area of booking but all resolved. Our waiting personnel was aloof, more attentive to certain tables so we were left having to try to get his attention when we wanted to order more drinks & desserts. FOOD Classic French dishes & to-die-for desserts! We had foie gras, lamb ratatouille, canard, seafood bouillabaisse, grilled octopus & passion fruit pavlova. All 10/10. Wine list is great. We are not heavy drinker so love a few glasses of good wine & it does not disappoint. AMBIENCE A blend of modern & retro deco, warm & flattering lighting, sexy bar area with sleek bartenders. People watching here looked fun & romantic date is good (except if the service is amiss second time- wouldn't be fun). Music is good level of sound, ventilation is great. Feel airy & comfortable to be in.
