This was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in Montreal. It makes complete sense why it was one of the top restaurants in Canada (#17). Service was top tier & the atmosphere was a vibe. The food was absolutely incredible & I had the best time eating here. I can't say enough good things about all of the dishes. Underrated dish of the night was the morel mushrooms, asparagus & fiddleheads. They were cooked to perfection. The bone marrow & snails were chefs kiss. All of the mains were to die for & you can't go wrong with choosing any of them. The desserts were wonderful. The passion fruit pavlova was the perfect combination of tartness from the passion fruit & the airy sweetness of the meringue. The rice pudding was really sweet but the flavour combo was great. The maple crème brûlée was a standout with the maple flavours. Overall I had an amazing experience with the food, service & atmosphere. Highly highly recommend!

Très beau restaurant avec un service impeccable. Les assiettes sont bien présentées, on sent que les couleurs & les textures sont soigneusement choisies. Je dirais que tout était intense en saveurs, un peu trop, surtout côté sel. Je ne mange pas souvent de la fine cuisine, alors je ne suis pas particulièrement à la recherche d'un goût aussi intense salé si j'ai l'attente de déguster les ingrédients mis de l'avant. Cela a été le plus marquant, pour un repas dans les 250$/2 personnes.

Nourriture très bonne mais un service interminable & beaucoup de bruit pour un restaurant de ce standing cela gâche l'expérience .

Expectations were high but they were definitely met. Food, service & atmosphere all terrific. I will visit again next trip as well as their Brasserie side.

Went for a lunch with a bunch of friends. Honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything ordered was exceptional & the service was amazing!

We were really looking forward to our dinner at Monarque after glowing recommendations from friends who had lived in Montreal. We booked the Brasserie months in advance during a conference trip-but sadly, the experience didn't live up to expectations.

The Brasserie was only half full, yet service was slow & inattentive. Our server, while polite, barely engaged with us & seemed more focused on older or more formally dressed guests. It took 45 minutes just to place our order, & no one asked if we wanted drinks.

We ordered gougères (delicious), olives, & croquettes to start-followed by excellent appetizers (bone marrow with snails, & octopus). Mains were beautifully plated but uneven: the duck confit was overly salty & unbalanced, though the ribeye & halibut were solid.

The worst part? A fellow diner changed their toddler in plain view of the room-& no staff intervened. It felt like Brasserie guests weren't treated with the same care as those in the Salle à Manger, which seemed much livelier.

We still tipped well, but didn't feel the service earned it. Disappointed overall-we won't be returning.
