L'Express: what do users think?

Mehmet Akkaya: Quality and delicious food, excellent service, good atmosphere, but prices may be expensive for low-income people.Vegetarian options: I am not sureDietary restrictions: I am not sureParking: Paid on-street parking is difficult to findKid-friendliness: SuitableWheelchair accessibility: Suitable

John Bailey: Great food . Great value. Great staffFun decor

Roger Rosenquist: Awesome dining experience here. My friend and I both got the steak frites, which were delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and topped with a great herb butter while the fries were hot and crisp. My friend got a salad that tasted fresh and was a good opener. We also split some of their profiteroles for dessert, and those were extremely tasty. Would recommend.

Doriane Das: We came for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. The service was excellent, the servers very kind and attentive. My husband had the duck confit and I chose the mussels/fries. The experience was very good but we were disappointed by the duck confit dish which was certainly excellent but in very small quantities - especially on the accompaniment where three potatoes fought a duel on 3 salad leaves... However we had watched the menu in advance with photos from previous comments…

Nicholas: I got the quail with wild rice, SO good. Amazing traditional French restaurant with amazing service as well.

Youngmin Lee: 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.

Toqué!: what do users think?

Jessie D'Aigle: Toqué is a culinary gem that truly delivers an exceptional dining experience through its "menu dégustation". From start to finish, this restaurant exuded excellence in service, presentation, and taste.Upon stepping into Toqué, we were greeted with impeccable service that set the tone for the evening. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcomed and at ease throughout the dining experience.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the seven-course tasting menu that proved to be a culinary journey like no other. Each dish was not only beautifully plated but also showcased a careful balance of flavors that left us wanting more. From the first bite to the last, every course was a delightful surprise, showcasing the chef's mastery in combining ingredients to create a symphony of taste.My girlfriend, Julie, and I were thoroughly impressed by the thoughtful execution of each dish and appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal. ... And the champagne pairing was excellent.

Isabel Carrier: , nice meeting with Normand Laprise

yx Sun: I had an incredible 3-hour experience with their 7-course tasting menu! My favorites were the beef steak, quail, and two desserts. The beef and quail were exceptionally tender, and the accompanying sauces were bursting with flavor. Both dishes had a divine aroma when they arrived. Even though I’m not usually a fan of sweet dishes, I thoroughly enjoyed their desserts. They struck a perfect balance, not overly sweet, and the sorbet with sponge cake combination was delightful.The meal began with a brown butter mousse amuse-bouche, followed by the sea urchin as the first course. While the brown butter mousse was delicious, the sea urchin lacked a bit of its distinctive flavor for my taste. Unfortunately, the complimentary bread was served cold and didn’t make much of an impression compared to the other outstanding dishes.The service was fantastic. They efficiently cleaned our table, and water and wine refills were prompt. However, I found the ambiance to be a bit noisy compared to Europea, where I had dined previously. Overall, it was a memorable night at this restaurant.

Modavie: what do users think?

Milan Nayee: Amazing food, service and ambiance.We had the snails followed by the lamb chops and mushroom risotto. Everything was delicious. Creme brûlée for dessert was also amazing.Cocktails were great, mirage was delicious - only critique would be that they could offer more wines by the glass. But the ones offered were enough to pair with the meal.

Rishi Patel: Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! Enjoyed the dining experience here. The garlic snails and pesto gnocchi were delicious! Would recommend.

Maggie Oakes: what do users think?

Chantal Lanthier: We had the starter of Caesar salads, crispy shrimp, and of course the T-bone with vegetables... Yummm... I recommend this restaurant and I'm going back soon to enjoy the magnificent terrace! I recommend!

Peter Holdway: We stopped here for a coffee on the terrace in the sun, but then had a very nice breakfast.The staff were very friendly and the food was very good. So why only 4 stars?When we arrived at about 10.45, we asked if we could have coffee, and the waiter hesitated before saying yes and then giving us a lunch menu each. It was only when we looked at other tables we saw that they had a smaller menu. So we asked what they were, and we were told they were breakfast menus. We then asked if breakfast was still available and were told "yes".So, we ordered from the smaller menu and had a lovely breakfast

Eddy Lin: Shoutout to Pascal, probably the best server we had in this trip. Gave us lots of time, no pressure 😉 asked us for our food preference, patiently listing the tea selection. Always had the customer experience in mind. Food was good, just look at how the eggs were done. Kitchen was faster than the drinks bar for some reason, but overall, glad we visited this restaurant

Garde Manger: what do users think?

Emily Zimmerman: My husband, good friend and I had such a good time at garde manger while we were visiting from California. Montreal is famous for it's food and garde mangers reputation precedes it, but it was even better than we expected. The vibe of this place felt like it was bringing fine dining to a millenial crowd with the music and ambiance. And unlike many other fine dining establishments where the clientele skews much older, this place was packed with people between 25 and 40. The dress code ranged from smart casual to jeans.Our favorite part of the meal was how bilingual it is. My husband and friend are native French but fluent in English, so we tried using English for me. However, the meal used uncommon ingredients that they didn't know in English so our server was giving us a full rundown in English and French without missing a beat. She checked on us constantly and seemed to always have time for us despite having several other tables.It was pricy, but for a special experience or occasion you won't be disappointedVegetarian options: They'll customize the meal for vegetariansDietary restrictions: They'll customize the meal for dietary restrictions

Hollis Jones: Had such a great dinner last night at Garde Manger! We had the chef's plate.. Every course was spectacular. Expensive, but worth it for the experience.

Tuck Shop: what do users think?

Derrek Nador: Update April 2024, as good as ever! Wine list, service and food were 5 stars. If you want to splurge on a special occasion this is a top spot in Montreal to do so! Superb service and food. The food speaks for itself. Fresh ingredients, delishious dishes with great flavors. The service is some of the friendliest, most bilingual ive had recently. Could be a little over bearing if you dont want someone checking in on you very often, but for me it added to the night. Duck appetizer, the duck main and the roasted quail.

Marky Marc: Beef tartare was way too salty, couldn't taste anything else. Bacon wrapped rabbit was delicious. Shucked snow crab special was great, so much easier to eat. Brussel sprouts had a nice sauce. Hibiscus ice cream sandwich was perfect, though not sure why it was wrapped up like a soap bar. Great music selection. Excellent service. House martini was like a Lemon Drop, definitely enjoyable. The recommended Cabernet red was a great accompaniment.

Holder: what do users think?

Joy Miller: Wonderful service. The Waitress was very friendly and helpful with choosing the right Main course. They went over and above to make sure we had a delightful experience.I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Martin Lariviere: Holder is a charming Parisian bistro offering an elevated yet approachable taste of authentic French fare. The cozy, intimate ambiance with vintage details transports diners to a quaint cafe. The menu features rustic classics like French onion soup and boeuf bourguignon made with premium ingredients and bold flavors. Standouts include the chicken liver mousse and airy gougères. But it's the warm, impeccable service that shines, with attentive servers catering to every need. Whether for a casual night or special occasion, Holder delivers home-style bistro cooking and 5-star service in an inviting neighborhood gem.

Dave Bouffard: Antoine was our server and elevated our experience! We came for 6:30pm on a Saturday and the place quickly filled up. For how busy the restaurant was, I was impressed that we never needed to catch Antoine’s attention. Very attentive.The cocktails were very good as was the food.Highly recommended but book a table ahead of time!

Amina Ahsan Haque: .We had..- Country Vegetable Soup - light and fresh but too much salt.- Steak Frites - The fries were limp and soggy. The steak was fine.- Burrata Salad - Excellent. Enjoyed the figs.- Lemon Cream And Mascarponne Mousse - ExcellentThe food was absolutely amazing. The best Thai food I have eaten in the city.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available

MrKallon30: . Portions were on the small side

V. D.: . We had a great time

Javier Á. Nieto Moncó: Really nice experience overall. The place was cozy and welcoming, with a really intimate ambiance. The menu was five or six appetizer plates, and five or six main plates. Seeing other photos of the menu I guess they rotate the plate quite often. All the options were really appealing, and we are really happy with what we ordered.The price is expensive, but for a different restaurant experience it was nice. We really enjoyed it.Vegetarian options: There were no vegetarian options

Beauty's Restaurant: what do users think?

Eric Smith: Great breakfast spot, love the staff and the food is really tasty.

Alice Xu: This rating is strictly about the french toast.The bagel is good, but you will leave with onion breath. I dont have french toast often, but the challah french toast is easily the best I've had. I should say I was expecting a little extra on the presentation because all the french toasts I've had come with toppings and whatnot. This one is presented on a warmed plate, naked, and bare with a small side of syrup. Fruit and bacon is optional and really not necessary at all. A superior display of simplicity at its finest. The challah.is.so.good. the maple syrup is the cherry on top.Clean restaurant and friendly service. No wait on a Thursday afternoon in May.

L T Thompson: Beauty's Luncheonette in Montreal is your go-to for a cozy, throwback vibe and some unexpectedly solid life advice from the servers—who are more like your cool aunt who just knows stuff. They told me, “Give love, get it back tenfold.” Yeah, and it starts with Montreal's famous bagels with scrambled eggs, avo, and tomatoes. Don’t knock the “Mish Mash” until you try it; it’s a bizarre mash-up of salami and hot dogs that just works. This place isn’t just old-school, it’s GOLD-school. Drop by for a bite, a laugh, celebrity sightings, and maybe a life lesson or two.

Maria Boucher: Lovely atmosphere and service.The food was very good, I personally had the clubhouse classic on challah bread, and it was excellent!The milkshake was very good too.-----Very nice atmosphere and service,The food was really good, I myself ate the classic clubhouse on challah bread, and it was excellent!The milkshake was really good too!

Restaurant Jérôme Ferrer - Europea: what do users think?

Cyril BECKER: and everything is tasty the flavour of each dish is well balanced. They have a great wine selection to match your menu. The steak sauce flambée is prepared right in front of you and you will feel the heat.

Organic World Club: Top-notch French restaurant in the heart of Montreal! If you’re looking for a special experience, Europea consistently delights with some of the best food and wine in the world. The best ingredients available turned into art for the eyes and taste buds combined with great service is what drives me to come back.Some of the menu highlights included fresh mint tea, onion soup served in an onion, lobster cappuccino, and more paired with phenomenal wines; also, eye watering variety of deserts — my personal choice for best desert was the maple cotton candy.The highlight of the wine pairing was a mistery wine served in black glass. It was of course outstanding in flavor but also unique in appearance.

Vlora Ahmeti: First of all, let me start with saying this is a dining experience. The presentation is very artistic and the flavors are delicate and to be savored. It's not the type of place to go if your interested is a warm, superfilling comfort meal. Atmosphere is beautifully decorated and has nice lighting. Service was excellent, special shout out to Valentino for humoring us. Would definitely recommend for the experience if you're in Montreal for a few days.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Hard pressed to get children to eat these things.

Frederique Chezet: Gastronomic trip to Montreal at the table of Jerome Ferer "Europea"Magical, exceptional, gastronomic staging

P London: Exceptional.

Joe Beef: what do users think?

Robert Oliver: Fantastic dinner, probably the best we had on our trip. Had the seafood special appetizer with the aoli sauce which was incredible. Beef tartar was great too! Split the New York strip with the bone marrow. Cooked to perfection and so rich with the marrow also liked the side horse radish cabbage. Someone else got the lobster pasta which was outstanding! Enjoyed the lemon sorbet thoroughly!

Anick Globensky-Bromow: , cooked perfectly. Even the beer was perfect. I tried the babeigne au rhum for dessert. Will definitely go back to try what our table neighbors had, lobster spaghetti, which was a whole lobster on pasta! We spent 250$ for a shared meal with no appetizers, so expect to spend a little. Worth every penny!

Sabrina Gauthier: It was delicious!We had the best service and she was really helpful.Thank you again Kalina

Candide: what do users think?

Squirrel Friend: What an amazing restaurant. Tasting menu has a lot of quality and seasonal ingredients. The highlights of the meal for me were the crab and carrot dish as well as the mushroom oat porridge. I visited Montreal during the snow crab season, so the crab was out of this world. The porridge was savory and hearty. Service was attentive and friendly. The waitresses were so nice and sweet. One of the waitresses was also in charge of making cocktails, and the drink that I got was delicious. The restaurant is in the back of an old church and has a very unique vibe.

Caroline Duksta: . The staff was friendly and professional, balancing attentiveness while giving us space to enjoy our night seamlessly. The food was refreshing, thoughtful and surprising. I appreciate a slow deliberate meal, never feeling rushed nor forgotten. The smoked oysters were delightful and the sea bass was complimented perfectly with the mushrooms and fennel.

Swati S: Food is great. Honey at the end was such a special touch. The service is amazing: friendly, kind, fast between courses, but you don't feel rushed at all. Would definitely recommend Candide for a great night out with really delicious food.Vegetarian options: They were super understanding and accommodating to provide a vegetarian menu, especially with my added inconvenience that I can't eat mushrooms.Dietary restrictions: Very understanding and kind.
