Terrasse Le 419 draws praise for high quality dishes such as oysters, seafood pasta, salmon, calamari and rib steak, and for a warm terrace ambiance with a nice view that many find the highlight of the visit. Service is described as friendly and attentive, with thoughtful allergy accommodations and occasional memorable touches, though some reviews note slower timing during busy periods and occasional organization gaps. Value is mixed: several diners feel prices are high for portions or compared with the area, while others believe the quality justifies the cost, and happy hour and drinks are frequently praised. Beverage options on tap are limited and at times taps are not functioning, and a few menu items fall short, such as a lobster roll described as lacking real lobster. Overall the restaurant tends to leave a positive impression with delicious food and a lively setting, tempered by concerns about consistency, value and operational hiccups.
We stopped here just to have a drink since they had lots available tables on their terrace & had advertised happy hour at $9 for on tap beer & $13 for cocktails.
Where this restaurant lacks is in variety. They only have 3 beers on tap, & their taps weren't even working. As bottled beers go, they had Guiness & Landshark Lager. So $9 for a bottle of beer, not a great deal. As for cocktails, they had a few more choices, but only one of them qualified for the happy hour price.
Le 419 is well located, the terrace has a nice view of place Jacques Cartier, which boasts of lively atmosphere, many pedestrians & some buskers.
Our waitress was very friendly.
We had dinner across the street at Maggie Oakes & we noticed this place was absolutely dead all day long, which is suprising since the street, & other restaurants, were filled with tourists.
If you don't want to wait for a table, this is place is for you.
Awesome restaurant with great outdoor seating. Great for people watching & grabbing drinks or food. Waiter named Idriss showed us a good time & is awesome at his job!
We were seated inside, it was extremely hot to the point that it was bothering everyone on the table, also the music was too loud & even though we asked to put it down twice they would put it & soon would be loud again. The appetizers were really good, but the main course was too expensive for what it served. After exactly 50 minutes of waiting for the plates... The beef was too small & for sure wasn't the right size as described (I know the weight is based on the raw beef, but still). Also, the sauce was extremely salty & I have high blood pressure. The drinks were really good & the beer was cold. I would go for appetizers & drinks, but definitely not main courses.
From the moment we arrived, the servers provided impeccable service, enhancing our evening. The ambiance was inviting, setting the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The food was exquisite, each dish a culinary masterpiece crafted with care. The drinks were expertly curated, complementing the meal flawlessly. Overall, a standout restaurant that exceeds expectations in every aspect.
OVERALL great experience . The people working there are really nice , getting the food was fast & food was hot , The burgers are not worth it I got a steak & it's was a 8.56/10 steak but my friend got the burger & it was a regular basic burger taste nothing impressive ( lacking sauce choices) I got a steak & drink
My recent Valentine's Day supper at Terrasse 419 was nothing short of magical! Despite my last-minute reservation, the owners went above & beyond to secure a table for me, ensuring a memorable evening. The ambiance of this romantic restaurant was simply enchanting, setting the perfect mood for the occasion. The service was impeccable, with a staff that exuded warmth & hospitality throughout the evening. But the highlight undoubtedly was the food. I indulged in their delicious steak, cooked to perfection, which truly showcased the expertise of this beautiful steak house. The surf & turf dish I ordered was hands down the best I've ever had in Montreal, combining succulent flavours that left me craving for more. Picture this: the server skillfully cutting steaks right in front of you, akin to the iconic Salt Bae, but at a fraction of the cost & with even more mouthwatering flavour. Terrasse 419 has undoubtedly earned its reputation as one of the best spots in Montreal for a romantic dining experience in my books. Whether it's a special occasion like Valentine's Day or a casual evening out, this hidden gem promises an unforgettable culinary journey. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of exquisite cuisine & charming ambiance. The music was fire too & so were the drinks.
This restaurant is a true hidden Gem, I can't believe I have never been & they have been open for years! Food is absolutely delicious & the atmosphere was such a good vibe with good music. Decently priced, tasty drinks & amazing service. I highly recommend & will be returning!
