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.
We made a reservation for our family of five, including my 8-year-old son & my parents who are in their 60s. For appetizers, we ordered bone marrow, beef pot, foie gras with bread, & grilled octopus - all were absolutely delicious. For the main dishes, we had lobster, duck leg, & lamb, which was especially tender & flavorful.
The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very friendly & took the time to explain that all the ingredients come directly from the owner's farm to the table, which made the experience even more special.
The whole dining experience was comfortable & enjoyable. We did not encounter any of the discrimination mentioned in some previous comments; on the contrary, everything felt professional & welcoming. Overall, it was a truly wonderful meal, & we're very grateful to the team for making it so memorable.
Was very crowded yesterday, still, like always, the service is smooth, even with a lot of patrons we were able to make a full meal (drinks, appetizers, entrees & dessert) a little under 2h
For drinks we got a beer & a mocktail
The Not Into Yoga mocktail was just too good, peppery, with a very creamy coconut milk
The white beer we got was very good for 9$, bitter just enough
For appetizers we decided to try the tuna tartare on special that was amazing, & some nordic shrimps with succin which were very tasteful
We continued with the half lobster, served with salad, fried cauliflower, an extra order of fries & the butcher's cut which was flank steak served with fries. Everything was good, except that the meat had little bits of tendons inside which made it a little bit chewy
Finally the dessert was the pavlova with raspberries which we shared. It was really good, raspberries were just acid enough to counter the sugar from the meringue & whipped cream
Excellent moment pour une occasion particulière un anniversaire!
Nous étions servis comme des rois, repas pris en face du bar c'était très original & une belle ambiance.
J'ai adoré leur nourriture de qualité! Surtout l'agneau qui était excellent, je recommande vraiment ce restaurant sur Montréal.

Très bel accueil dans ce chic établissement, le service y est chaleureux & le repas tout simplement excellent.
Le prix y est très correct pour la qualité de l'expérience proposée. Je recommande !
Amazing dining experience! The food, drinks, & atmosphere were outstanding. I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to give a special shout-out to Oliver, one of the managers, & Stephanie, one of the hostesses, for their exceptional hospitality. After a mix-up with our reservation, they went above & beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening.
One of my favourite place in Montreal, I visit everytime if I have friends or family from outside of Mtl here, it means a lot!
One thing that I was unhappy was there is quite many flies in the restaurant … we were quite bothered by them.. kept trying to fly them away so couldn't focus on delicious meal..I know in the summer time it's inevitable but hope it can be a little better so guest can enjoy food 100% here
It's hard to tell from reviews when everybody rates everything four or five stars. But this place deserves it. The lamb shoulder with roasted vegetables for two was superb.

We ate from the brasserie menu-what a delicious meal with perfectly timed, attentive service. We had the bone marrow, which was easily the best bite of our trip to Montréal (best bite of food I've had this year), & I had the duck, which was so savory & crispy & tender. My husband had the swordfish special, which was lovely, but we agreed that my duck was the clear winner. We split a mille feuille for dessert, which ticked all the boxes that a dessert should! The restaurant space is beautiful & I would love to go back & try the full tasting menu/sit in front of the window into the kitchen.
What a wonderful meal we had at Monarque.
Although the menu seems limited everything was excellent. The service was exceptional (thank you Sam). The only comment I would add is that when the servers bring your food, they should explain all of the unique components of the dish. This was the only point lacking.
We had the tuna tartare, sooooo yummy, the scallop crudo, lobster tortellini & guinea fowl all delicious & beautifully presented!
5 ime visite ici & ca reste notre resto préféré.
Nous sommes côté brasserie. Service chaleureux.
Nourriture impeccable.
Tout est délicieux !
Mon gars de 4 ans avait adoré son repas également.
I went here for a group event. The waiters were super attentive & it was a very nice evening. I loved the food from the menu we got. All the dishes were delicious. I really recommend the restaurant for group events. It was perfect.
Exceptional food & service. Interesting menu. Bison & rabbit were a hit. Got a chocolate hazelnut cake for my birthday which was beautiful & tasty. Great option for a special event. There's a private room downstairs, but it loses the vibe being down there.
Our experience started started strange & unpleasant: we came in just in time for our reservation & had to wait for almost 10 minutes for the hostess. She was on a phone the whole time, actually being quite rude to the phone guest, figuring out the reservation 2 months from now - while we just stood in front of her. When she finally decided to put her call on hold she didn't even apologize or acknowledge our long useless wait. Alright…
Then we waited for drinks for 30 minutes - our first app was served before our cocktails. Just because they didn't see them on the bar - they stood there melting for 20 minutes. Barely an apology here as well.
Food, however, compensated for this - great steak tartare, lovely octopus & desserts were amazing.
I really liked the food & the atmosphere of the restaurant, so I hope the service mishaps were a one time thing but it was still unacceptable for a restaurant of this level.
