About

Monopole operates as a refined hub for café culture and bistro traditions, emphasizing high quality ingredients within a minimalist space. The menu highlights French culinary techniques through balanced plates that prioritize seasonal produce and precise cooking methods. Guests experience a focused selection of artisanal coffees paired with savory offerings designed to showcase traditional flavors. The interior layout encourages fluid movement, supporting both solitary work sessions and small group interactions in an atmosphere defined by industrial architectural elements. Raw materials like wood and steel create a structured backdrop for the presentation of curated beverages and food items. Every element reflects a commitment to functional simplicity, ensuring that the primary focus remains on the integrity of the served components rather than unnecessary adornment or complex culinary presentation.

Coup de coeur & découverte de l'année pour moi. L'equipe est belle, l'équipe est bonne. La qualité de le nourriture n'a rien à envier à aucun autre restaurant de la région. Je conseille à tous d'y aller & d'y retourner!

Bel endroit pour un 5 à 7 !
Bien sûr les prix sont un peu élevés, mais c'est toujours le cas pour ce genre de place.

Felix is the best chef I've seen. He looks masterful behind his apron. A combination of fire & class. The pan con tomate redefines garlic bread & bruschetta. Omg. Vince... what to say of the beautiful Vince. Incredible service. #redpowerrangervibes

Charming, small & underrated restaurant that has one of the best beer & wine list in Montreal. Food is consistently good & service is friendly, passionate & knowledgeable.

Resto vraiment surprenant. On ne se doute pas que ce petit café offre un menu gastronomique le soir à prix plus que raisonnable avec des produits québécois, simple, très bien fait & d'une finesse surprenante. Service très sympathique. On y retourneras c'est certain! Mise à jour : après 7 ans toujours aussi bon, service impecable. Si vous voulez goûter à de bons vins en importation privée, ils sauront vous conseiller.
