J’ai dîné au Monarque & tout était excellent, du cocktail, au repas, au service, à l’ambiance. La nourriture était fraîche & de qualité, avec des saveurs incroyables. Le service était aussi très précis & les recommandations étaient géniales.
Monarque is another Top 100 Canada restaurant in Montreal. After a disappointment in another Top 100 Canada restaurant, I am a bit worry at the beginning. This time I ordered Bone marrow with snails, seafood boulliabassie, & lamb. The bone marrow blows my mind, one of the best I've ever had. The seafood boulloabassie & lamb are very delicious. Price is good, but portion is a bit to the smaller side. The chocolate & coconut layer cake is basically a chocolate cake, nothing too special. Overall I am satisfied with the dinner tonight & will be back for duck confit & ribeye.
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.
This restaurant is located in beautiful old town Montreal, not too far from the Notre Dame. It is beautiful & modern inside & the lighting is nicely layered. We ate at the brassiere. Our waiter was very attentive & friendly. He was able to suggest a cocktail to drink as we were indecisive. We got buffalo mozzarella & wild mushroom gnocchi for appetizers. Both were delicious! The buffalo mozzarella was nicely seasoned with the vinaigrette. For the main course, I selected the butchers cut which was a flank steak with herbed butter on top. It came with a side of fries. The fries were delicious & crispy & served with mayonnaise. For dessert we got a tarte tatin. Caramelized apples with puff pastry & icecream…How can you go wrong?!? It was heaven! Overall it was a great experience & I would highly suggest it for a nice dinner out!
Overall, the appetizers were good. We had the snail with escargot which was very good, the beef tartare was a bit salty & the oysters were fresh. The main dishes were nothing special, the bouillabaisse was ok but I wasn’t a huge fan of the fish they used. The waiter was a bit snobby maybe cause we didn’t speak French with him &
