We had a wonderful dinner at Le Filet! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, but the seafood linguine was definitely the star of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was top-notch - attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. I'm quite picky when it comes to food, and surprisingly, I couldn't find a single thing to complain about! My only criticism would be the ambiance. I found the lighting a little too harsh and wished it were softer to create a more intimate atmosphere. The restaurant also got extremely loud at one point, which became a bit overwhelming and made conversation difficult. That being said, the quality of the food and service more than made up for it. Le Filet is definitely worth visiting, and I'd happily come back especially for that seafood linguine!

We grabbed a late lunch on a weekday and the staff were great about squeezing us in with the stroller and no wait. My kids actually ate their fish and chips without complaint, which almost never happens. The dining room felt lively but not too loud, so we could still have a conversation while keeping an eye on the little ones. Honestly a great spot for a quick family meal without feeling rushed or out of place.

Wes and I absolutely loved Le Filet! From the moment we walked in, every person working there was friendly, welcoming, and professional. You could tell they genuinely enjoyed working there, which made the lively, fun atmosphere even better. Our waitress, Zoe, was fantastic — chatty, knowledgeable, funny, and clearly passionate about the food. We also loved starting the evening with one of their delicious handcrafted cocktails while we waited for our table. The open kitchen was such a great part of the experience. Watching Chef Yasuhisa “Yasu” Okazaki and his team work throughout the evening made the whole dinner feel like a bit of a show — and you could see the care and precision going into every dish. We started with the miso and jalapeño oysters, which were incredible, followed by the grilled calamari. For our mains, we had the grilled scallops with lobster bisque sauce and the filet with bone marrow butter, accompanied by crispy potatoes and spinach. We finished with a bananas Foster-inspired dessert with chocolate mousse. Every course was so thoughtfully put together. The flavours, presentation, and combinations were outstanding without feeling pretentious. It’s easy to understand why Le Filet has earned a Michelin Guide recommendation and why Chef Yasu Okazaki has such a strong reputation. This was, without a doubt, the best meal we had on our Montreal trip. If you love creative, well-thought-out dishes, handcrafted cocktails, an open kitchen, a lively atmosphere, and knowledgeable, genuinely friendly staff, Le Filet is absolutely worth a visit!

Disappointing experience, especially for the price. We were initially seated outside and the hostess told us that we would be moved inside as soon as a table became available. Imagine our surprise when a party of four who arrived after us and was also seated outside was moved inside shortly after they sat down. When we asked about it, we were told that because they were a party of four, they had priority over us. We were also told that the hostess had not communicated our request to our waiter. Unfortunately, our waiter’s response made us feel as though we were being unreasonable for even bringing it up. He eventually offered us another table, but when I asked where it was located, he simply shrugged his shoulders in a way that came across as, “It’s a table—take it or leave it.” Not exactly the welcoming service you would expect. Our waiter was otherwise attentive, and there was certainly no shortage of fresh plates and cutlery throughout the meal. However, he repeatedly came over and moved the menus from the chairs onto the table, seemingly trying to prompt us to order. This happened despite the fact that we were continuously ordering throughout the evening. The restaurant was not particularly busy, so the repeated pressure to order made us feel unnecessarily rushed. As for the food, it was okay, but it felt like the chef was trying a little too hard to make the dishes complicated. Multiple fresh herbs competing for attention, chorizo paired with octopus, and other combinations that seemed to add complexity without necessarily adding flavour. For the price point, I expected more. The washrooms were also incredibly cramped. They seem to have been designed for stick figures—you can barely get into the stall and close the door without practically straddling the toilet or touching the toilet and the wall. Overall, the service wasn’t terrible and there were some positives, but the experience didn’t justify the prices or the hype for me. There are too many places offering better food and a more welcoming experience at this price point.

Can’t remember the last time I gave 5*, but this place deserved it. Delicious food, great service and a nice ambience. We came without reservations spontaneously upon arriving in Montreal, and it was a perfect welcome.

Been coming to Le Filet for years and it never disappoints, but the visit a couple weeks ago reminded me why it's still my favourite spot in the city. The sea bream crudo was as precise and delicate as I remember, with just the right acidity to wake up your palate before the mains. The room has this warm, low-lit energy on a weekday evening that feels intimate without being stuffy. Service was attentive without hovering, which is honestly harder to pull off than most restaurants realize.

Great meal at Le Filet, playful by name and with the dishes. The dorade crudo and linguini a l’encre de seiche were tasty, not complex but with their unique signature. The portions are on a smaller side. The pairing with the organic white wine was excellent. I should probably give it another try to fully assess the small menu.

Really enjoyed the food. The service could be better, at some point during the service it felt like they had forgotten about us and we had to remind them that we’re waiting on another dish.

Group of four on a Saturday evening, we had reservations at 5.30pm as it was the only available time so think ahead if you want to go on a weekend evening. Warm welcome on arrival and seated promptly near the bar. The layout is narrow and deep with a bar on one side and open kitchen at the back. Apps were good, we had the oysters to start, gf had ceviche which was the best starter of the group. My tuna tartar was good as well. Mains were also very good, fish and beef jowls were excellent. Extensive wine list is offered but very pricey with only a few <$100 options. Skipped dessert as we were quite content with our meals. Service was excellent, courteous and friendly. Definitely a spot that will be kept on my list.

Le Filet completely impressed us. From the moment we walked in, Jesse at the host stand was warm, polished, and welcoming, and Guillaume gave us exceptional service all evening. The food was outstanding — beautifully plated, creative, and full of flavor. Every dish felt refined and memorable, from the delicate crudo to the perfectly executed seafood and the rich truffle pasta. Even dessert was stunning. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it perfect for a special night out. Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Montreal. Highly recommend.

What a gem of a restaurant. The meal was one of the best I've had in years (fish of the day and the maple dessert were standouts) and the service was excellent throughout. Special thanks to Sarah who was knowledgeable and delightful in equal measure.
