A Wonderful First Experience at Boss et Fils in Verdun
I’ve been wanting to try Boss et Fils for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did! What a gem of a place tucked in the heart of Verdun. As soon as you walk in, you feel immediately welcomed; it has that cozy, family-run restaurant vibe that makes you feel at home.
We kicked things off with oysters, and wow, they were incredibly fresh. As a first-timer, I decided to try something new and paired them with smoked jalapeño instead of my usual minette or tabasco. I was blown away; the smoky heat was just sublime and really elevated the oysters to a whole new level.
For appetizers, we had the foie gras, which was absolutely divine, and the poached egg with asparagus; a perfect combination of flavors. For our main courses, I had the scallops, which were cooked to perfection, and my friend went for the steak, which was also amazing. The flavors were on point, everything was perfectly seasoned, and you could tell they use only high-quality ingredients.
Don’t hesitate to ask the staff (or the owner) for a wine recommendation; they know their stuff! The wine pairing he suggested was spot on and complemented our meal beautifully.
To top it all off, we had the strawberry tartlette and chocolate brownie for dessert. While both were delicious, the chocolate brownie truly stole the show. It melted in your mouth and had the perfect balance of richness and sweetness; absolutely unforgettable.
The family and staff were so friendly and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. You can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes, especially since they use seasonal ingredients. I’ll definitely be returning often!
Overall, Boss et Fils did not disappoint; if you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this incredible little spot! Highly recommended! Lo

A neighbourhood restaurant with full of character. The owners are very nice and welcoming, the service is good and the food is to die for. Expect a cosy and friendly atmosphere, nothing posh.

This restaurant lacks stars. Food, service, everything was excellent.
You feel like you’re in a gourmet bistro… Quebecois, at home

This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. From as soon as we walked in until we left. "The Boss" greeted us at the door and told us our table would be ready soon ( we were early). As we waited, he brought a bottle of prosecco for us to sip on. Once seated, the waiter was amazing, the wine list was great, and the food was to die for. The atmosphere is like no other, and the experience while there was one for the books. I will definitely be going back, and I suggest anyone reading this chooses to go eat here. Definitely worth it!

The Best Restaurant I've Ever Been to in Montréal!
A huge shoutout to the impeccable service. The waitstaff was always attentive, ensuring our wine and water were always topped up without us ever needing to ask. There’s no traditional wine list, but the chef will pair each dish with a carefully chosen wine at a reasonable price. We genuinely felt like we were dining at home, especially with Boss and his super sweet wife serving us—such a warm, personal touch that made the experience even more special!
Here’s what we had:
1-Tartare – Fresh and delicious! The dish featured a sweet, lemony syrup in little dots on the plate—don’t skip them, as they elevate each bite. I did feel the tartare could’ve been a bit less sour, letting the fish’s natural flavor shine through a bit more.
2-Octopus – Absolutely exceeded expectations! The dish had an incredible balance of flavors, and I was amazed at how subtly bell peppers complemented the octopus without overpowering it. I’ll definitely order this again.
3-Côte de Bœuf – A generous plate meant to be shared. The mashed potatoes were rich and creamy, and the gravy was light—perfect for complementing the steak. And speaking of the steak... it was divine. Honestly, even though I was full, I was a little sad to have to share it!
Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Montréal. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish!

Great meal/experience and price. Well executed and generously portioned dishes in a "homey" atmosphere. Wine list is diverse and offers something for everyone. Service is like being at a friend's house for dinner
Super warm and personalized service, food was incredible and they adjusted to my preferences. We will definitely come back! Thank you Louis & Nathalie!

Great experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent, the owners (a couple) were very friendly. They made us taste several privately imported wines, each as delicious as the last. We had several dishes to share, each of which was as excellent as the last. The desserts were also very good. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, we paid $70/person for 9-10 courses for 4 with a bottle of wine and 1 digestive!!! Everything was perfect!
