French Restaurants in Montreal, QC

“Had to try the iconic Joe Beef while in Montreal. Made resos well ahead to make sure we got the time slot desired. We were shown to our table. The dining area is sneaky large as there are lots of tables in various areas around the restaurant and also a bar counter area. The tables are very close together so it feels tight and gets very noisy as the restaurant is full.

Our server, Julien, did a great job in explaining the menu and offered up good choices in wine pairings for the food. We chose the beef tartar with bone marrow toast, smoked meat terrine, duck breast with duck sausage, and the halibut (fish of the day), and a side of asparagus. For dessert we shared the marjolaine cake. All the dishes were nicely plated and very tasty.“

“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.“

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

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

“Excellent brunch — rich and indulgent. A really enjoyable brunch, made better by a lovely spot outside. The fresh fruit plate was beautifully presented and perfectly ripe, and the pastry board was the highlight — a flawless pain au chocolat, a rich almond croissant, and a classic butter croissant, all clearly made in-house. The bread basket arrived warm with several varieties and good butter. The charcuterie platter was solid but not the standout — decent quality, though a step below the rest of the spread. Service was a real strength: polished, attentive, and friendly throughout. Sitting outside in the garden setting was a real treat — calm, green, and relaxing. It’s a rich, calorie-heavy brunch — come hungry and pace yourself — but a very satisfying one.“

“Une bonne bouffe, dans une atmosphère décontractée et avec un personnel agréable!“

“Brunch en famille pour la fête des mères ce 12 mai 2024. Tout était parfait ❤️ l’atmosphère conviviale et chaleureuse, le service courtois et très sympathique (merci Marine avec ton beau sourire 😀) et que dire du menu, varié, délicieux et goûteux Miam 😋 accompagné d’un bon Mimosa. 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!“

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

“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!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Came in here during a long layover in the city. Had the smoked salmon bagel and an iced coffee, bill came out to $37.66CAD with out tip. Feel that’s pretty average given the area. Food was very good and i enjoy the open kitchen view. The coffee was also delicious, got the salted Carmel latte. Menu had French and English and the service was fast and kind. Great spot for a nice lunch.“

“Nous étions un groupe de 14 personnes. L’accueil, autant sur place que lors de la réservation au téléphone, a été très chaleureux. Un service impeccable, de la nourriture abondante et savoureuse, tout était parfait ! Le serveur a tout fait pour rendre notre soirée mémorable. Merci ❣️“

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

“Lovely small restaurant. Artic char as an appetizer was divine. Halibut with asparagus was delicious.
Restaurant is loud and space is tight. Definitely reserve before going there.
Server was nice... But she did not fit the vibe of the place which was the only downside I could see.“

“My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here during our visit. I ordered the Table d’hôte lunch, while my daughter chose a few items à la carte. Everything was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented.

A few dishes really stood out. I especially loved the butter sauce served with my daughter's trout, and the rhubarb custard dessert was fantastic. Rhubarb and flan are two of my favorite things, so it felt like that dessert was made just for me!

Our server was excellent. Although she spoke limited English, she was gracious, patient, and able to answer all of our questions. We felt very well taken care of throughout the meal.

One helpful tip for fellow English-speaking visitors: this restaurant is separate from the culinary school's student dining program. I misunderstood that before our visit and thought they were the same thing, so I wanted to mention it in case it helps someone else avoid the same confusion.

Overall, we had a lovely experience and would happily return.“

“We had a great time !!! Wonderful staff and food was divine. BEST mashed potatoes. Claudette & Karl Bartlett“

“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“
