Just wow. All our meals in Montreal were delicious but this was outstanding! Trout gravlax, bison and lamb were the standouts. Dessert was the perfect ending. Bring your own wine and menu prices made this a great value as well. And the hospitality was warm. They easily accommodated my gluten free needs. We just returned from France and this beat out any bistro there by a mile!

Overall, it offers very good food and excellent value. Compared with many French restaurants in Old Port, the prices are almost half as much, while most of the food is considerably better. The strongest and most consistent parts of the meal are the complimentary soup and the main courses. The soup ingredients changes from visit to visit, but the quality has always been reliable and each version I have tried has been delicious. The duck main course was also well prepared, balanced, and consistently enjoyable. However, the restaurant’s fish dishes seem very inconsistent. On my first visit, my friend ordered the swoardfish. It had a delicate, poached texture and was served with a green herb sauce. The flavours were balanced, and there was no unpleasant fishy taste or smell. When I ordered what appeared to be the same dish about a week later, however, a very strong fishy odour was noticeable when it came to me, so I declined the dish. The staff assured me that all their ingredients were fresh, but the difference between the two experiences was difficult to overlook. The trout gravlax appetizer was also disappointing. The seasoning was overwhelmingly sweet and salty, the fish had an unpleasantly chewy and sinewy texture, and the fishy flavour was quite strong. It was easily the weakest dish I tried. The desserts are acceptable but fairly ordinary compared with the savoury courses. The dessert of the day was an English-style fruit cake served with white sauce. It was not especially suited to my personal taste, and I preferred the crème brûlée I had tried previously. Despite the inconsistency of the seafood dishes, I would still recommend The Perch for its soups, meat-based main courses, and excellent value. I would happily return, but I would probably avoid ordering fish.

Loved everything about this little restaurant, wonderful food, attentive staff, BYOB makes it great to grab a bottle and make it more affordable. Thought pricing was very reasonable for what we got as well. Only downside is the smaller rooms can be fairly loud as it's a small space - still made for a fun, buzzy little restaurant!

The menu and service are worth it 100%. The place might be typical plateau-style, tight and cozy with small outdated tables etc. But you're there for the food. And it's magnifique, each course was up to our expectations and even beyond. The service was attentive as well, Marc-Antoine does a good job and was there when we needed him. The maitre d'hôtel is hands on with each and every table. We felt welcomed, well taken care of and so did our bellies. And it's a BYOW which is another plus

If you’re looking for a Montreal gem. This is the place. Unassuming. Unpretentious. Excellent French food done right without breaking the bank. We had the 4 course meal and was very full! Worth it!

16 min walk from subway, it is in the residential area. Price are good and food are serving in good presentation. Don't expect a very good service like other French restaurants.

A lovely little French restaurant with a warm, home-made feeling. The food was fresh, flavorful and thoughtfully balanced. I had the salad, foie gras and fish of the day, and really enjoyed all three. We also shared and tried several other dishes, and everything felt carefully prepared without being overly complicated or pretentious. What I liked most was the atmosphere. It feels a little like having dinner in someone’s family backyard — cozy, relaxed and unhurried. It’s the kind of place I would choose to come with close friends or family, where you can enjoy good food and conversation without feeling rushed. Even the small restroom had its own speaker playing lovely music — such a tiny detail, but somehow it added to the charm of the place. Good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and a very personal touch. I would happily come back.

Small place, cozy, incredibly nice, very welcoming staff and the food was truely amazing- all at a very reasonable price. Bring your own wine. Took a chance on the soup, followed by the escargots with the blue cheese sauce all wrapped in a nice crêpe as the entrée and then the bison as the main and the crème brûlée for desert - absolutely no regrates. This meal was ~ 60 CAD Highly recommended

Cute Little restaurant with bring your own wine. I had the trout gravlax and beef cheeks braised to perfection with some greens. My husband had the beef pastry and swordfish and greens. Desserts were delicious, crème brûlée and tarte tatin with vanilla ice cream. There’s a small patio in the back for anyone who likes eating outside. Love the service and the chef 🥰😋

Wonderful service. Friendly and accomadating. Food was so delicious. Lots of choices on the set menu. Only lost 1 star on atmosphere for noise in the restaurant. One party was very loud, and it carried through the restaurant, otherwise 5 stars 🌟.

A cozy hidden gem in Montreal. Superb course menu and very cost effective. Came here with a large group of friends on a Saturday night and we basically filled up the restaurant. It's a very small place and looks like someone's house transformed into a dining experience. The menu is simple: you pick from a list of entrees and it will include a soup or salad, an appetizer, and a dessert for one single price. I got a soup, beef and cheese profiteroles, duck breast, and a tarte tatin for $60! A four course meal for that price point is unheard of, and the quality definitely didn't disappoint either. Each dish was carefully and professionally made, all presented to you like it was a Michelin star restaurant. Highly recommend getting the flank steak or the duck breast, and the rest is whatever you are craving. It felt like you couldn't go wrong with any item here. The service was top notch and the ambiance was cozy. For a special occasion or date night, I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!
