French Restaurants near Westmount, QC

“Ate here for NYE and the food was phenomenal! Service was excellent too, and the atmosphere was, as expected, fun a vibrant. The stand-out dishes for our party were the steak, key lime pie and bread pudding. Would recommend to anyone staying in the Montreal area.“

“Everything was amazing. I love thr corner seats for the privacy just wish there was a bit more light to see eachother properly and the menu. As well the lobster got so cold so fast. It felt like it came from the fridge, but the flavor and juicyneas of every meat was beautiful.“

“A great French restaurant, with amazing food, wine list, and service. If you go during the day time, try to book à table under the glass ceiling! I really liked their appetizers and desserts the most, their paté was amazing, and the bone marrow, chèvre salade, grilled octopus, duck confit were also really tasty. The lemon tart was one of the best I've had in Montreal.“

“I would have to say that this was absolutely one of the best meals we’ve ever had!!! We started with a plate of Oysters that were perfect! We had the Arctic Char for 2 with a side of Gnocchi and Caesar salad the fusion of flavour in the sauce on the Char was heavenly. The fish was done to perfection!! The Gnocchi was unlike any we had ever had and the herb oil drizzle highlighted the perfect texture and flavour of the gnocchi. The deconstructed Caesar was perfect!! We finished the meal off with the Maple Creme Brûlée. The entire staff were friendly supportive and knowledgeable from the moment we walked in!! C’est Manifique!! Bravo!!!“

“Went to several great tables recently and this place didn't disappoint. Some risk, would have loved to see more creativity from such a renowned place (that's why 4 stars and not 3). Portions were on the small side (I took 2 appetizers). Service however was on point, taste was excellent and cooking done perfect. Very picky of me to give 4 stars but Vin Mon Lapin the night prior and Monarque on Thursday were a match, with a little extra. I would come back to club Chasse et Pêche. Very close tin mu book to 5 stars (4.5 can't give 1/2).“

“Highly recommend Joe Beef. The staff and management went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergy. I appreciate how easy they made it for me. The food was amazing and atmosphere was perfect. We went for dinner after a long day. If you have a food allergy make sure to reach out to the restaurant to give them a chance to prepare for your visit. Will definitely keep Joe Beef in mind for our next trip to Montreal.Dietary restrictions: My food allergy is complex and they handled it perfectly. I was able to enjoy the food with my family. Most importantly I did not get sick. Greatly appreciate all the thought that went into making our meal perfectly delicious.“

“When I say the brunch was exceptional and so good, believe me? will go back for dinner and supper. The ambiance was amazing and the place so welcoming, not saying that the service was great too. ?️ do yourself a favour and get poached eggs smoked salmon?“

“When you arrive at Billy's, you feel like home. The team is warm, smiling, and the service is fast. We treat ourselves to truly delicious homemade dishes: an excellent Jerusalem artichoke soup, an ultra-soft fried chicken on a waffle, and a floating island for dessert, worthy of the name. In short, a real joy. Can not wait for next time !“

“Located on the top floor of the Eaton Centre, Time Out Market has an great atmosphere and vibe. I have yet to try any of the restaurants, but the beer/wine bar was above my expectations. Bartenders and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Prices are fairly reasonable, I’d recommend the Flacatoune beer by Microbrasserie Charlevoix. ?Can get very busy after five on weeknights, so arrive early.“

“I started coming here for lunch in 2006 and always enjoyed the quality of the food, freshness, great atmosphere and the service!!I was in Montreal recently and unfortunately did not have a chance to visit it this time…I will make sure I do next time :)“

“The drinks were lovely, the food amazing ( gnocchi light& delicious). The chef also is operatic quality tenor; we were lucky enough to hear him sing. Service was friendly attentive & excellent. Ambiance- very homey- mismatched chairs& such but added to charm. Can't wait to return!“

“It's been a long time since we came to this excellent restaurant and we were delighted by the refined cuisine and the courtesy of the welcome and service. Scallops, lamb, duck, char leek tartlet, everything was excellent! And desserts too! See you soon!“

“The savoury dishes were all excellent. The dessert was so so. The main was that it took a really long time. Between sitting down and paying, we were there for 3.5 hours and the first of two dessert courses took 45 minutes to come out after we finished our mains, and the second took another 30 minutes“

“Toute une expérience de saveurs , textures ..

“Merci infiniment pour le magnifique service de Maxime. On a mangé comme des rois. Staff agréable et prix, ma foi, raisonnables pour la quantité de nourriture et d’alcool consommés. Nous reviendrons! ☺️ Mathilde et Guillaume (le gars qui déménage à Lanaudière)“

“Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table and were able to see all the food being prepared and ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste and they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious and made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.“

“Very good evening thanks to the delicious and generously served food, we chose a raclette that came with a creamy vegetable garden! All the staff were very pleasant: attentive, professional while being discreet. A big thank you to our very friendly waitress (Marseillaise!) who made us want to come back!“

“The best shrimp and the best sauce I’ve ever eaten in my life! My partner got fish of the day, which is perfectly cooked with a nice crispness on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The price is super reasonable and affordable. The three course meal was amazing, with excellent mushroom feuillete as the entry, the main course of choice, and homemade dessert. Everything was extremely delicious and made with care and love. I will be coming back for sure.“

“We would like to express our deep gratitude to David for his exceptional service and kindness during our meal at the restaurant. Your attention to detail and professionalism went a long way in making our dining experience memorable. Thank you for your dedication and passion for your profession. We are grateful to you and we hope to have the opportunity to return soon to enjoy your delicious creations again.With all our gratitude,“

“Quel restaurant incroyable! Merci à Caroline et Salomé pour l'accueil et le service de feu, et aussi à toutes les autres personnes impliquées dans notre service qui ont rendu notre soirée entre amis exceptionnelle. J'y retourne rapidement sans aucun doute tant pour le service, les conseils personnalisés et la nourriture qui me fait encore saliver 48 h plus tard!“

“I loved my experience at Duc de Lorraine. The dishes were delicious, fresh and carefully prepared. The menu choice is varied and there is something for everyone. The service was also excellent. I highly recommend this place for a tasty brunch in Montreal.“

“Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous commandons chez Le Pegase, et je n’ai jamais pris le temps d’écrire un mot ! Leur cuisine est exceptionnelle, toujours très travaillée et pour des prix défiant toute concurrence. Un des meilleurs restaurants français que j’ai goûté tout pays confondus. (et je suis française haha!). Le goûter c’est l’adopter !!“

“Very good place. Impeccable and personal service, well played and diligent. This restaurant is not for the small budget though, check the prices. A suggestion: while charging $15 for a beer, it would be good to offer an original local micro beer, we have excellent ones in Montreal (Brewskey, Messorem, Toltek). Excellent food and worth the price (it's relative!). It should be noted that a very beautiful private reception room is available and welcoming for 50 people in the basement. In short, I recommend it for a chic evening before a concert or to mark a birthday, etc.“

“Indulging in the Lamb Chops at Restaurant Bonaparte - A Taste of Timeless ExcellenceAs I recently dined at Restaurant Bonaparte, I couldn't resist trying their renowned lamb chops, and I must say, it was an experience beyond compare.Since 1983, Restaurant Bonaparte has been celebrated for its exceptional French cuisine, and their lamb chops certainly lived up to the reputation. Cooked to perfection, each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures that danced on my palate. The tender meat, infused with delicate herbs and spices, melted in my mouth, leaving me craving more with every bite.“

“My first time at Chez Lionel, what a beautiful discovery. The food was delicious and very tasty, reasonable prices. The service was Exceptional, the staff, best I have had in very long time. So attentive with us, made us feel very special. Well done management in choosing your staff, makes me what to go back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Quelle belle expérience! C'était impressionnant du début à la fin. Service et accueil chaleureux, on a été aux petits soins avec nous. La nourriture était sensationnelle et que dire de la présentation, c'était de l'art! Merci énormément et bonne continuité.“

“Excellent card! All the dishes were delicious. On the other hand, the homemade sourdough bread was ordinary and I found a piece of silicone kitchen utensils in the whipped butter that accompanies the bread. Reported to 2 servers and no one apologized for the inconvenience or made a commercial gesture. We expect better in this type of establishment“

“I chose the Cherrier café for a surprise event on the occasion of my beloved wife's 60th birthday...everything went wonderfully, the small intimate room, the big screen for the presentation of a video montage and above everything, the charming and efficient waitress Gabrielle. Thanks again to the whole team!“

“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.“

“Truly a proper French dining experience. Extremely professional kind and helpful staff, AMAZING food, wonderful drink selection and extensive wine options, reasonable prices for such high quality, great atmosphere and aesthetics inside. Delicious non alcoholic options. Highly recommend. Merci!“

“It was a delicious bistro that you can enjoy casually. I couldn't make a same-day reservation for lunch, so I was surprised to find so many people waiting when I arrived, but I was seated within 5 minutes.At first, we had a French brunch menu, but when we asked, they gave us an English lunch menu. All the staff members are friendly and greet you.Two of us ordered soup, mussels, pork, and creme brûlée.It was Canadian size and the portion was too much for us Japanese people, but we took it home in a doggy bag and enjoyed it for dinner.It was a very satisfying lunch.“

“Superb evening despite a full restaurant! There were six of us and we all agreed on the excellence of the dishes, tasty and tasty for both starters and main courses. Let yourself be tempted by a cocktail! Delicious ! A big thank you to our very friendly waitress who offered us efficient and friendly service. I will obviously go back!Dietary restrictions: We had 2 people with food allergies (nuts and fish). We were well informed which dishes to avoid.“

“Fantastique expérience culinaire du début à la fin, accompagnée par un excellent service. On a particulièrement aimé les agnolotti de foie de volaille servis avec noisettes et vincotto de camerises, mais tout était absolument délicieux - je dirais même renversant. Merci pour la belle soirée!“

“I received a Coffret Prestige Épicurien. I chose Le Bleu Raisin because the menu looked amazing in the booklet. Not only did it look amazing, but it was also delicious. It was 6 course meal. From the soup until the dessert, everything was divine. It's a bring your own booze restaurant. The staff were never nice and courteous, and the restaurant was cozy. We used public transport (Metro) since there was not really any parking in the neighborhood. (That's the ick of the place).“

“Very nice experience and very interesting and inspiring tasting concept. The food is very well presented and the dishes well explained by the waitresses. The downside is the size of the main course, rather small and we were still hungry after 9 courses, especially since the chosen dish had an extra cost of $8 each. The value for money was below our expectations for this kind of experience.“

“My husband and I went here the first night of our honeymoon: super friendly staff (Ludo especially!), delicious food, and huge wine selection. The steak frites was exceptional. Marie (another server) was very attentive to our needs as well.“

“Delicious! Small portions but exquisite. The grilled octopus is so good that I think I dreamed of it... Too bad this restaurant is not in my neighborhood. The service was impeccable: relaxed and discreet with a suggestion of a film (The Free State of Jones on the War of Cession)“

“I wanted to love this place. I thought it would have been at the level of a Michelin restaurant, but it fell just short. It was good, but not great.The atmosphere was distorted a bit by the bar. I’m just not used to a Michelin level restaurant having a large bar. It detracted from the atmosphere. There is a bar in the hotel lobby, so this was not necessary.Service was good, but a bit generic. They did pay attention to small details, such as replacing a napkin that fell to the floor with a new one, but I was not blown away by much more. The pacing of our experience felt off, with awkward gaps of time in between some courses.We got the degustation menu. It was decent. Generally at these restaurants, you’ll be tempted with a series of amuse bouches that sets the tone for the evening. That part was skipped. So we went right to the menu. The only course that was not good was the sea bream carpaccio. It tasted overly fishy, and the shaved celery was an odd pairing. It got better from there, with the standout being the duck foie gras. The only other miss was the dessert, which was a tasteless chocolate brioche crisp with a lemon sorbet. This was an unfortunate ending to an otherwise good meal.Again, decent meal, but would not be worthy of a star if Michelin were to come to Montreal. I think most courses were good on their own, but they didn’t match with each other. It was a bit confusing. I’d prefer the experience to tell a story, or feel more purposeful.“

“We've been going there for dinner a good ten times, each time the service is exemplary, the food is delicious, both the starters and the main meal and the same goes for the deserts. The bill is still a little expensive but the experience is still worth it.“

“Truly a classic, superb, well-seasoned and original tuna tartare with avocado and tomatoes. Approximate service with a certain delay between each person's dishes and an error for one person. We forgive them because the good will is there.“

“Seriously, I'm speechless! I bought a 3-meat pâté yesterday and today I bought a salmon pâté, both recipes look like they found my grandmother's recipe book! Their flavors remind me of my childhood eating this every week! At our place in chicoutimi! Real Saguenéens in the kitchen! Although I believe they are French! But anyway, my ancestors came from Angoulême! I recommend this find! I have lots of other things to try“

“Excellent service et le personnel est accueillant et très sympathique. De plus, je recommande cet endroit à ceux qui ont l’oreille sensible aux bruits, car la musique n’est pas trop forte ce qui permet aux clients de pouvoir discuter ensemble sans avoir l’impression de crier pour se faire entendre. La nourriture est excellente et se partage très bien.“

“I enjoyed breakfast each morning of my trip to Montreal at Osco! inside the Intercontinental hotel. Restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive. I was helped by nearly everyone there. Francine, Marc, Robin, and Ivan. Thank you for making my stay more enjoyable!“

“I can't say enough good things about Brasserie Bernard! The food never disappoints, the ambiance is "chaleureux" and the service always attentive, friendly and professional. It is one of our favorite restaurants in Montréal and there is zero pretension!“

“It's a pretty happening place for dinner. The food was excellent, beef cheeks and mussels in particular. Everything we tried was top notch.It may be a little loud for some people and for some reason, it was really warm inside. But great otherwise.“

“Good food, nice flavor.Went after 21h for the 25$ per person. It was very good and on small portions so i didn't feel bloated after. The server was very friendly and well mannered.We took 2 cocktails each and it was very tasty, they sure know how to make mexican cocktails.“

“We had already gone for workshops and we decided to go and eat a nice full meal. We live on the South Shore of Mtl, so it’s not really our area but the experience and the detour are worth it. Everything was excellent! A nice 10/10! We will definitely return.“

“Good and friendly service. We really liked the shrimp risotto. Excellent seasoning. Dish served well. For an additional CA$8, we had a green salad for starters, which was very good, and a dessert, which is very good value for money. We tested the pistachio mousse. Great. Very good taste in the assembly of the dishes, although the menu is not long.“

“I've wanted to go to Lou Nissart for a long time. We were slow to get there given the distance to travel. Well, we should have gone there long before. A lovely day in the company of the friendliest owners. Tasty cuisine, full of flavor and well presented. Everything was delicious! There were four of us with four different dishes and everything was successful. It was obviously worth the trip and we hope to be able to return soon. Thank you to our hosts.“

“Avec son ambiance chaleureuse et lustrée, le Café Maestro est l'une des perles rares dans le milieu du Mile End (et à Montréal) qui offre une experience véritablement authentique du café du coins. Si vous cherchez à vous installez sur le bord d'une fenêtre ou sur une terrace bien charmante, ceci est la place. Les croissants sont les meilleurs que j'ai goûté à date et le café est toujours servi avec une touche spéciale d'amour par le barista super charismatique qui a clairement une passion pour sa vocation et qui va toujours essayé de te faire rire.Je donne cinq étoiles pour chaque fois que je suis reparti du Café Maestro avec un sourire, ce qui est à chaque jour de ma semaine de travaille. Je tiens ce café proche de mon coeur, pas seulement pour l'experience mais pour le travail fort et le clair dévouement du staff et du propriétaire à la qualité de leur nourriture et leur service, quelque chose qui devient de moins en moins commun dans un monde de consommation.Bravo Café Maestro et merci!Vegetarian options: Salades et patisseries pour les végétariensKid-friendliness: Banquettes pour les familles“
