Best Traditional French Restaurants in Quartier des Spectacles

The service was outstanding, attentive but not intrusive. For instance, our coats were taken to a cloak room and brought back to us after our meal, the wobbly table was fixed instantly and the bread basket was replenished without having to ask! The menu has all the traditional offerings of a French bistro and each of us enjoyed the meals we were served. The charcuteries were particularly excellent. The meals were cooked as requested (steak, rognons, fish and boudin) and served on heated plates. We tried the private label wine (red) and found it quite good as well. Overall we had a lovely evening and one of the best restaurant experiences in a while. We will be back! Thank you!

Best food I had in Montreal. Great service and in a nice part of town.

Very pleasant space with an elegant menu and well stocked bar. Right next to the Place des Arts Metro entrance so you can get there after your show underground without having to trudge through the snow.

The restaurant is in the lobby of a hotel. I was unaware of that. There are not a lot of tables. We came after looking at the menu and when ordering we were told the foie gras was not available. A BIG disappointment. So I ordered the octopus with chorizo. The presentation was well done, the taste and texture was excellent. I also ordered the duck. Again the presentation was nicely plated and the flavors were beautifully executed, but it was overcooked and tough. My wife had a pear salad that was very tasty and the lamb, which I thought was very gamey, my wife enjoyed it a lot. Also beautifully presented over a bed of couscous. The wine selection was not huge but had enough choices to make us happy. The service was excellent. Very attentive and pleasant.
