37 Best Bistros in Montreal

“Merveilleuse soirée hier avec un service aux petits oignons, une ambiance à la fois cozy et festive avec un choix intéressant en matière de vins. Un menu dégustation généreux pour seulement 75 $, c’est très très raisonnable. Coup de cœur pour le tartare! J’y retournerai sans hésiter.“

“Meilleure pâtisserie française à Montréal 🥰“

“L’excellent service est rare de nos jours. Aujourd’hui je l’ai trouvé. Au Bloomfield aujourd’hui, le serveur ainsi que la gérante ont été au-delà de mes attentes et celui de notre groupe de 6. Sans même que j’ai demandé quoi que ce soit, ils se sont assurés de notre satisfaction. Oui je retournerai à votre resto, et oui je le recommanderai. Merci de votre service et d’avoir visé l’excellence.“

“I went there enough times to forget how many! I love that spot! The food is always great and the staff is caring and nice. The food is always surprising and delicious and don’t get me started on the desserts! Plane and simple advice: Just go there!“

“The food was very excellent and the service was very good. Since I went during MTL Table they had a special menu and it was all super innovative! The only thing was that dessert wasn’t as amazing as everything else but overall would come here again.“

“Super rapport qualité prix. Excellent service et ambiance agréable!“

“Superbe accueil et produits frais 😍“

“Belle terrasse face au Parc Molson“

“Lovely people. Eclectic and cozy atmosphere. Very relaxing. The espresso gelato was amazing.

I do wish the vegetarian bagel was a bit easier to eat and had avocado instead of the small guac cup, but I'm not sure that is typical after seeing other photo reviews. And still not a big deal, it still tasted good, albeit a bit messy. 😊“

“We had brunch at Toi, Moi, & Café ☕🍽️

I ordered the most divine mushroom & Brie omelette 🥚🧀🍄 with seasoned potatoes, fresh fruit 🍓🍇, and a warm French baguette with marmalade 🥖🍊

Are you kidding me?! 🤯 Hands down the best omelette I’ve had outside of Paris! 🇫🇷✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A beautiful place to come and enjoy a delicacy, the staff and especially the owner has a wonderful charm. He is caring and will ensure that your table has everything it needs and offers a tasteful sense of friendship as he serves your table.“

“The space is a bit small but very cozy. It’s divided lengthwise into two sections: one side is the kitchen, the other is the dining area. There are only about 4–5 tables for two or four people, plus a counter seating area. It’s an open kitchen, so you can watch them making dumplings right in front of you. Everything looks neat and clean. The place gets pretty busy, both at lunch and dinner.

I first came here last year and have been back a few times since. It’s definitely busier now, but the quality has stayed consistent. I always order one soup dumpling and one fried dumpling. The soup dumplings are juicy and flavorful. The fried ones have a crispy bottom that’s really satisfying to bite into.

The real star (according to my partner, and I agree) is the chili oil. It’s $2 for a small bowl and totally worth it: fragrant, spicy, and perfect with the dumplings.

The staff are constantly working. Usually there’s one person folding dumplings right near the entrance, two servers handling orders, and one person on the line. Everyone seems focused and organized. They seat guests quickly, clear tables fast, take orders smoothly, and even recommend dishes to nearby tables. Friendly, efficient, and hardworking.

Definitely worth trying. My partner and I keep coming back whenever we visit Montreal, he’s a big fan. It’s a great spot for anything from a casual hangout to a date night, or even a solo meal.“

“Mon nouveau restaurant préféré au Québec.Plats de qualités et frais ,ainsi service exceptionnel.“

“I adore Malatang so I might be a little biased, but I loved this place. You grab a bowl, load up on the assorted selection of ingredients, and then the price is calculated by weight. Though it does look like they have combo options too.

This place had a wide selection of ingredients, there was plenty of options! We ordered the spicy beef broth, and it was very rich and flavorful with a nice kick to it. The only thing that I would say is that some of the veggie items didn't look particularly fresh.

The staff was also super nice, offering to explain how ordering works and show you the ropes. Overall, very enjoyable, delicious experience and a fun and unique way to eat! We felt very fulfilled leaving this place.“

“Great staff awesome food and memorable events. Good for all occasions the bistro is one of my favourites on the island of montreal“

“Vraiment passé un bon moment. Service efficace et chaleureux et repas super bon! Pleins de beaux légumes bien apprêtés, la morue salsa de mangue délicieuse. Potage carottes et orange merveilleux. À refaire.“

“Alberto is an AMAZING cook. (I strongly recommend the fried calamari). The service is excellent and the atmosphere is like no other.“

“The food was delicious! We had reservations for right when they opened so we were seated quickly. The music was loud and we were sitting next to the door so it was very cold. However, the food was great! We got the Preston's, the chicken and waffles, and the MTL cheesesteak. Everything was delicious and hot. I would definitely come back.“

“Nous avons été bien accueilli, l'entrée était bonne mais nous n'avons pas apprécié les plats. Le tajine de champignons ne comporte que des champignons, aucun autre condiments. Pour être honnête nous avons été malade toute la nuit ... dommage“

“I like to go for shaping at Marche central!“

“We loved this restaurant so much we came back the next day for more! The vibe inside was so sweet and the food both times was fantastic and was able to make adjustments for a gluten allergy. Our server Andrew was his name I think made our night! Could not recommend this place more! Thank you to the team for making this part of our trip memorable🫶🏻“

“Thank you for this amazing last minute dinner meal I picked up for my family. The soup of the day was absolutely delicious and fresh. The chopped salad was amazing. The tuna, shrimp, beef and chicken tacos were very tasty. The portions are generous and reasonably priced for quality food! I will definitely be returning.“

“The sushi is amazing!! The staff are responsive and respectful, all making your experience here worth it. The hostess, Natt, was amazing at her job managing clients (especially on a busy Saturday night) all while maintaining calm and being approachable. Well done!!“

“This place gives you a taste of Africa in little doses - the music, the food, the ambiance throws you into a nostalgic whirlwind. I recommend this joint for everyone!

“D’excellents chocolats chauds et à manger 😋 Les crêpes et galettes sont un régal. Il y a même des crèmes glacées 🍧 Pleins de plaisirs gustatifs.“

“The breads, sandwiches and pastries are made fresh every single day and they are absolutely delicious. This bakery has a nice terrace where we can sit an enjoy a morning cup of coffee. A must visit!“

“(Translated by Google) I really recommend the prices are cheaper than 80% of other tobacconists only downside their opening hours otherwise impeccable I recommend(Original)Je conseille vraiment les prix sont moins cher que 80% des autres tabagies seul bémol leur heure d’ouverture sinon impeccables je conseille“

“Fun place to grab a quick beer and/or drink. Every Wednesday they host a language exchange which is pretty fun to attend. I have not tried the food s I can't really be a judge of that. Overall, great service, long opening hours and fantastic ambiance.“

“Toujours aussi bon ! Non exquis!“

“Traditional French cuisine, like what you would find in a brasserie in Paris … with top quality ingredients, and great staff“

“Smoothie santé avec de vrais fruits et légumes. Dommage que la musique ne soit pas appropriée.....“
