French Restaurants in Montreal, QC

“The Legendary Joe Beef. We had the Foie Gras double down, the rabbit, and the veal. This is basically the Rolls Royce of restaurants, you are paying for the name. Food was unlike anything I've ever had and was extremely flavourful, but Canadian shrinkflation means you pay a lot for a little, so I left hungry. Great experience though between the ambience and the staff, it was unforgettable.“

“La cuisine est extra, service magnifique sans être guindé, belle carte de vin ! Je recommande ce resto sans hésitation! WoW 🤩“

“Went for lunch and it was a great experience. The menu did not change at all since this summer though, so I think it is nice to experience, but it doesn’t offer much variety if you come multiple times. Had lunch 3 times in 3 different months and all 3 times it was the same menu. Great food, beautiful presentation, would love to try it for dinner too, I am sure it is a completely different experience!“

“My wife and I had a fantastic evening here on Friday. It has a warm atmosphere that made us want to stay much longer than we would have normally. The food was exquisite, and a good value for the quality provided. The wine list was extensive, featuring wines from several French regions, as well as some from Italy, Spain, US, and Canada. The servers were attentive, speaking French and English, and there was a sommelier on staff to help with the wine. The plates weren’t overly large, but we were quite filled after three courses, wine, and an aperitif. We are definitely coming back the next time we’re in town.“

“Un service amical et attentionné, des plats super créatifs mettant en vedette des ingrédients locaux, un apportez votre vin à prix plus que raisonnable pour la qualité et l’expérience. Je recommande sans réserve.“

“Délicieux! Très content d'avoir découvert un restaurant d'une telle qualité.“

“I love this place sooo much clement makes the best drinks“

“We really enjoyed the brunch menu here. What we appreciated most was how beautifully each component was executed. The techniques were handled with precision and restraint, yet the complexity still came through in every element of the dish. Nothing felt loud or flashy; instead, there was a quiet refinement achieved through thoughtful balance and depth of flavour, along with a pleasing interplay of textures that unfolded as you continued to savour each bite. It felt like a well-judged balance between French classics and contemporary reinterpretation.

We ordered the Garlic Gratiné Snails (Escargot), Salmon Tartare, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Icelandic Cod, and the Chocolate Entremet Cake. The Escargot and Icelandic Cod were well executed. The chocolate cake was a real highlight and easily one of the best desserts we have had in a while. The ambience was cozy yet elegant, which complemented the food beautifully. We would highly recommend this place.“

“Fabulous meal - some of the most inventive cuisine we’ve experienced anywhere. Great and friendly service, chic and comfortable decor. Definitely going back whenever we can get another reservation!!“

“Bonjour! C’est la 3 e fois que nous profitons des délices du chef de ce restaurant hyperchaleureux❤️Le professionnalisme des gens qui nous accueillent, qui nous expliquent le menu avec patience et courtoisie. Ayant essayé plusieurs plats, une explosion de saveurs subtiles ( le cassoulet, la bavette de veau, la prise du jour ( poissons variés ),le jarret de veau , le carré d’agneau …. Bref la perfection 😀❤️Je suis de Laval, mais si j’habiterais tout près, et même si j’adore cuisiner, j’irais au moins 1 fois par semaine si j’habiterais à côté! Longue Vie à vous La Bagatelle 😀🌈❤️“

Une 1ere expérience réussi dans un décor chaleureux. Nous reviendrons c’est certain“

“One of my favorite hotels ever!! Right in the heart of old Montreal, and a short walk to everything that Old Montreal has to offer. It sits on a beautiful cobblestone street, and is in an old, historic building. The rooms were beautiful, with windows that open to let in some great fresh air. I loved their little breakfast, which consisted of different breads each day, spread, cheese, and some cold pressed local juice. Just a top notch experience, and affordable too!“

“My experience there was wonderful very good food and service , very friendly! Excellent!“

“Hand down, je n’ai jamais aussi bien mangé qu’au restaurant Le Millen. En plus du décors de feu et du service impeccable sans trop de chichi, c’est littéralement de l’art en bouche. Vous avez mis la barre haute pour mes prochaines sorties culinaires. ⚡️Juste. Allez-y tous!“

“Wow. The Canton dish served in a skillet was like a warm hug. What a beautiful first breakfast to have in Canada. The ham, bacon, beans, roast potatoes and even the toast were scrumptious. The lovely friendly staff served me with a smile and were very kind.“

“Première visite à ce resto et très satisfaite! Excellente nourriture, excellent vin et superbe ambiance.“

“Nous avons passé un super moment avec notre fils, sa femme et leur bébé ! La nourriture était excellente ! Le personnel est très aimable ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas chez nous à Paris. L'emplacement est idéal. A bientôt quand nous reviendrons voir nos enfants.“

“Une soirée de réunion familiale de 24 personnes très réussie à la Maison Verte: organisation facile, belles suggestions du proprio, excellent service attentionné, nourriture de qualité, plusieurs choix sur le menu de groupe, belle terrasse et salle privée à l’étage: un succès sur toute la ligne! 😊“

“Meilleure pâtisserie française à Montréal 🥰“

“The lamb and duck dishes were superb! The wine was delicious too . The salad was excellent and turnip soup so very tasty . Lorenzo made our visit a delight with kindness and humor. Hope to get back soon !“

“Le St-Urbain has become a family favourite! Every dish is delicious. I ordered cream of parsnip and apple soup pistachios, endive, sage. An absolute must try! It was the best soup I ever had. The seafood was fresh, meats are tender and original desserts. I ordered carrot ice cream with spicy chocolate cake that upon reading the ingredients you would think it would not work but it was delicious.

The menu changes frequently to reflect ingredients in season. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Service was great, hard working caring team for sure. What a gem of a restaurant in Ahuntsic. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. Bravo!“

“Le menu de la Saint Valentin était un véritable régal!“

“Résidant dans le quartier, j'étais intrigué de passer régulièrement devant. Puis après avoir consulté les nombreux avis positifs en ligne, j'ai sauté le pas sans hésitation. 8 ans plus tard, je suis toujours un fan inconditionnel d'Antonio et Danny ! Quel excellents moments passés dans ce charmant restaurant ! Service personnalisé et généreux, qualité excellente, accueil chaleureux... Un des meilleurs moments que j'ai pu passer dans un restaurant à Montréal. Une adresse incontournable, c'est une certitude : c'est devenu notre restaurant des grandes occasions ! Le contexte se prête particulièrement à une soirée entre amoureux, notamment pour la qualité du service où on vous traite aux petits oignons ! Chaudement et vivement recommandé !“

“I love supporting restaurants that are part of a school. Students need to learn first hand.

ITHQ has a nice location and staff was very welcoming.

The magret de canard was what you would expect of the dish. We had turbot with couscous and strawberries, which I found a bit too sofistaced. I think that real talent shows when you can work with a limited number of ingredients.

All in all a nice experience.“

“Insane food ! Great service nice vibe I would recommend!“

“Delicious high end French courses. We had this on Christmas Eve and the waiter was very kind and helpful. The head chef was very good at his craft of cooking and the entire restaurant was extremely cozy and the atmosphere was amazing with soft lit candles and relaxing music. We had the 5 course meal and the ingredients are all local and freshly made. The free bread was also very fresh. You could tell the chef spent a lot of work and time preparing the dishes. Worth every dollar.“

“Gasperie Bistro Gourmand is actually located in what I would consider a food court. However, this is not a typical mall food court at Le Central. It is one of the coolest places I have seen anywhere in Canada!

When you walk into Le Central, you are greeted by loud music, dimmed lights, and a vibing atmosphere. Various types of foods and drinks are offered from the numerous stalls such as Gasperie Bistro Gourmand. You will find Italian pizza, Greek souvlaki, Japanese izakaya, or a nice Canadian bison burger. The latter was what I enjoyed from Gasperie Bistro Gourmand along with a nice pint of Gose sour.

The bison burger was flavourful. The beer was tasty and cold. The people around me sitting at the various communal long tables were all having a good time.

I highly recommend visitors or locals to visit Le Central and especially Gaspesie Bistro Gourmand in Montreal.“

“Been here twice with my baby, the staff are extremely accommodating for infants and the service impeccable. There are high chairs and a changing table in one bathroom. I've been for lunch and dinner and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“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🫶🏻“

“Super équipe formidable la bouffe extraordinaire!“

“La cuisine est excellente! Les employés sont courtois et respectueux. Les portions sont généreuses“

“We decided to try Osco! for dinner after an enjoyable day of touring the city of Old Montreal. Our host, Rene, seated us quickly, even though we did not have reservations. Our waiter, Ivan, made some excellent suggestions for our entrees which we agreed to try. The food was delicious & Ivan’s attention to our dinner made a nice ending to an already perfect day.“

“bouffe succulente 👌, très bon service, merci tout spécial à Ben et à toute l'équipe“

“Service, chef et ambiance agréable.“

“La Traversée is the restaurant adjacent to the Bota-Bota spa. I loved that they had vegetarian options and alcohol-free drinks. The food was great, but the portions are small for the price. I would suggest a appetizer and a main. The service was great and friendly.

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options such as the tartelette and the betrave“
