Had dinner at Monarque while visiting Montreal since it's ranked the #1 restaurant in the city & made Canada's Top 100 list. The vibe was great-elegant but not stuffy-& the service was super attentive. The food is classic French, really well done. Highly recommend the bone marrow escargot & foie gras-both were rich, flavorful, & absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a solid French dining experience, this place is definitely worth checking out!View more

It was amazing, the food was so good & the staff was so nice. I love those restaurants where you have our own waiter/waitress but also the rest of the staff is checking on you in case you need anything. Great experience!View more

Easily in the top 5 in Montreal right now. Good service, often even great. Steady, precise, fresh & well prepared food at a very decent price point. All their meat cuts from PEI is superb & Bouillabaisse is a must. The wine list is great with a large scope in price, geography & eclecticism.
I had the pleasure of eating at Monarque 4-5 times in the past year & every time I have an opportunity to eat with friends or family downtown, it is everyone's go to. Given the depth of choices for restaurants in the area, it says a lot. One star removed for the atmosphere, because last time we were seated near the bathroom stairs & the smell of cleaning products was overpowering.View more

Gloriously designed with an attention to detail, I loved this place. The food was a taste buds explosion of complex flavours. The drinks were refreshing & with a twist. I loved the Monarch design linked from the drinks to the glass bottle & as a pin on the server's uniform. The viewing into the kitchen was entertaining & impressive. I did not have a single bad dish to eat. We tried every starter with the exception of one. Loved them all. The Rabbit special was so good. The veal cheek melts in your mouth. Our server was so good & I appreciated her attentiveness. Highly recommend this restaurant.View more

This was our first visit to Monarque, & it certainly won't be my last! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. They even offered to take our coats, which was such a thoughtful touch. For starters, we had the bone marrow with Burgundy snails & the grilled octopus-both were beautifully presented & absolutely delicious. For our mains, we tried the fish & seafood bouillabaisse & the special braised rabbit thigh, which were equally impressive. To pair with the meal, we ordered the Goa & Pomchata mocktails, & they were just as amazing as the food! The staff were incredibly patient & gave us plenty of time to make our choices, creating a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere. This place is perfect for a date night-I would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a memorable dining experience. I'm already looking forward to returning & trying more dishes from their menu!View more

I went on a Friday night, great service & they were accommodating as we were late for our reservation. As for the food, the appetizers were the standouts. The bone marrow dish is a must & was the best dish of the night. We also ordered the octopus which was very tender but a little too smoky. For the mains, the Bouillabaisse was a tad fishy for my taste however the seafood was fresh & perfectly cooked. The rabbit, was not on the regular menu but it was very moist & perfectly seasoned. Great quality-price & portions were very fair. Would definitely go back to try more of their dishes!View more

Were able to snag a table without a reservation on a Friday night. Glad we did. The food was terrific (Rabbit & Spätzle & Steak & Frites) & the cocktails delivered!View more

We went to Monarque on recommendation from a bartender at another Montreal restaurant. It's a gorgeous twinkling restaurant with delicious everything. Lots of typical French stuff on menu. If you're a fan of simply dressed excellent lettuces, the green herb salad excels. Super bouillabaisse & steak frites. Best martini I've ever had (went with bartenders rec for locally produced gin from a Quebecois microdistillery - wow). Special. Absolutely recommend.View more

C'est un très beau restaurant moderne & luxueux, où chaque détail est soigneusement pensé pour offrir une expérience exceptionnelle. L'intérieur du restaurant est vaste, avec une décoration élégante & contemporaine qui crée une ambiance à la fois chic & accueillante. Les tables sont disposées de manière à offrir suffisamment d'espace pour que chaque client puisse profiter de son repas en toute tranquillité. Le service est tout simplement excellent. Le personnel est attentif, courtois & toujours prêt à répondre à vos besoins avec le sourire. Ils connaissent bien le menu & sont capables de vous conseiller sur les plats & les vins qui s'accorderont le mieux à vos goûts. La nourriture, quant à elle, est impressionnante. Chaque plat est préparé avec soin, utilisant des ingrédients frais & de haute qualité. Les saveurs sont parfaitement équilibrées, & la présentation des plats est digne des plus grands restaurants gastronomiques. J'ai passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant du centre-ville. En plus de la qualité de la nourriture & du service, l'emplacement est idéal. Il est proche du métro, ce qui le rend facilement accessible, & il y a également un stationnement pour ceux qui préfèrent venir en voiture. Cela ajoute une commodité supplémentaire qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Que ce soit pour un dîner romantique, une sortie entre amis ou une occasion spéciale, ce restaurant est vraiment un choix parfait.View more

We visited on New Year's Eve & had the prix fixe menu. The food & atmosphere are good & worth experiencing, but unfortunately did not exceed or even meet expectations. Pro's: - They were kind enough to accommodate a special request for our daughter. - The duck in the main course & the dessert were delicious & very well executed. - the atmosphere & open kitchen setting are very good. Con's: - 3.5 hrs for a 4-course meal. This is just too long & too much time in between courses. Usually meals that take this long at fine dining easily include anywhere from 8-12 courses. - no live explanation at all of what was in the plate or how it was prepared. Basically refer to paper menu. - 1st & 2nd courses left a lot to be desired for everyone in the party. - found ourselves eating multiple courses with no wine in the glass after multiple requests. Maybe it was just a bad night. - We expected a little something on the house as a token of appreciation & as a celebration to welcome the new year. At least a glass of champagne or a second dessert course. We got nothing.View more

Everything was fantastic! We were a group of six, & each dish we ordered was absolutely amazing & delicious. The only downside for me was the cocktails, which were disappointing because they were pre-bottled. When I order a cocktail, I expect it to be freshly prepared by a bartender with their unique touch & served with beautiful presentation-not something pre-bottled.View more

Had an amazing experience at Monarque - the service was attentive, the food superb, & the cost very reasonable. We shared the chicken soup which is triple boiled & dressed up with all sorts of herbs which really hit the spot on the chilly day. For the main course, my spouse had the cod with a risotto which was delicious & I had the pork chop with a japanese peppercorn sauce that was among the best meals I've had in a considerably long time. I usually don't spring for dessert but every plate was excellent so I decided to go for the mango pavlova which was presented well & baked perfection. Can't recommend this place strongly enough.View more

Fantastic food & great service! even thought it was a busy evening (new year's eve) the team handled every table with care & attentiveness. The grilled octopus, cod & tuna were stunning & delicious. The eclair with the tres leches out of this world! If you are in Montreal you have to stop by this spot! Worth every penny.View more

Dinner here was delightful! Service was top notch & attentive & we enjoyed the recommended three courses (four, if you add dessert). We found the portions small enough to accommodate all three although the third course could have been split. Our favorite dish was the miso black cod! Would strongly recommend for a birthday dinner or anyone traveling from out of town!View more
