Très belle soirée entre amis au Benjamin ! Une excellente adresse à Montréal pour les amateurs de belles pièces de viande.
La côte de boeuf était savoureuse, parfaitement accompagnée d'une bonne purée de pommes de terre. La burrata était également délicieuse.
Un grand merci à Valter pour son service attentionné & ses recommandations !
C'est un beau restaurant avec une ambiance élégante & intimiste. Le lundi soir, c'est particulièrement agréable : on peut profiter du repas & discuter tranquillement entre amis.
Joelle was the friendliest most professional & welcoming server ever. This place is incredible. Wine, food, top notch. Montreal at it's finest. Highly recommend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish!
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, attentive, & professional service that made us feel truly valued. The food exceeded every expectation. The steak was cooked to perfection-so tender it literally melted in our mouths-& the desserts were simply exquisite, providing the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.
What made the evening even more special was an unexpected & thoughtful gesture. When the staff realized we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a wonderful anniversary detail that genuinely touched our hearts. It's these personal touches that transform a great dinner into a truly memorable experience.
You can tell that every detail, from the quality of the food to the exceptional hospitality, is driven by genuine passion & care. We will definitely be coming back & will happily recommend this restaurant to our family & friends.

Le tout était PARFAIT ! Service impeccable aux petits soins des clients. La cuisson des viandes correspondait à la demande (ce qui est rare en ce moment dans d'autres restaurants). Nous avons pris la côte de boeuf & le canard, tous les deux étaient tendres & délicieux. J'y retournerai avec plaisir. Je recommande à 💯 %
Très belle expérience avec MZ ! Le service était impeccable , chaleureux & professionnel. Mz est souriante & alerte , sans être envahissante. On se sent vraiment bien accueilli. J'ai eu un très bon repas & l'ambiance est 10/10 . Je vous recommande ce retaurant !
We had an outstanding dinner at Restaurant Benjamin. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a special evening.
What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was our server, Valter. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, & offered wonderful recommendations that made our meal even better. His professionalism, warmth, & genuine hospitality made us feel like valued guests throughout the evening.
If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Montreal, I can't recommend Benjamin enough. Be sure to ask for Valter if you can-he truly made our evening unforgettable. We'll definitely be back!
my boyfriend & I came here for the first time about two weeks ago to celebrate our anniversary. the appetizers were absolutely wonderful. the tuna platter we ordered was so soft & tender! the martinis were delicious & as for our steak..it was possibly the best steak we've ever had! the server was very knowledgable about the sauces & helped us choose the best one for our steaks. they were perfectly cooked & so so delicious (we are quite particular about steaks, we had absolutely no complaints here!). the only mishap was the fact that the wine we ordered was an expired bottle which had gone bad. we brought it up to the sommelier & they told us they would bring us a new one. however, maybe due to miscommunications during dinner rush on a weekend night, we didn't receive our new bottle until dessert time. the staff were lovely & kindly took the wine bottle off our tab. since we already had a great experience, it wasn't a big issue for us. I would like to thank the team at Benjamin for their great hospitality & service, we cannot wait to come back here & we recommended this place to all our friends!
Excellent petit dîner au benjamin. Valter a grandement pris soin de notre table & nous a donner de bonnes recommandations, merci encore. Le boudin m'a surpris par sa texture & sa saveur non trop ferreuse & bien équilibré. Merci le benjamin !
Went to Benjamin & although it was smaller than expected, it more than exceeded expectations. The atmosphere was enhanced by French music that instantly made the experience feel like a little escape to France, an affordable way to travel without the gas prices.
For starters, we had the burrata, Newfoundland oysters, & snails. The burrata stood out with its subtle sweetness from the peaches, creating a beautifully balanced flavour profile. The snails were a highlight; rich, flavourful, & perfectly prepared.
For mains, we ordered the steak & sea bass. The steak was incredibly buttery & tender, easily one of the best I've ever had & something I'd return for alone. The sea bass, paired with wild mushrooms, was equally impressive; even as someone who doesn't usually enjoy fish, I found myself genuinely loving it.
Everything was paired with a fruity white wine (Aix), thoughtfully recommended by our lovely waitresses Stacy & Daniella. To start the night, Daniella also treated us to one of her signature yuzu shots… a perfect & refreshing opener.
Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you haven't been yet, it's definitely worth visiting because I know I'll be going back.
Tout était parfait ! L'accueil, la nourriture, l'ambiance & le service ( un merci particulier à Valter, pour sa gentillesse & ses suggestions )
Nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant., coup de coeur assuré. Merci à toute l'équipe.
