My second time here however my first time trying the 3 course menu, smaller portions but each dish were beautiful and mix of textures! Our waiter was so polite and friendly, a must try restaurant if you want to show off to your family/friends visiting Montreal

Monarque was incredible from start to finish. The bone marrow was to die for, the pork chop was so tender I’m still thinking about it, and the French fries were honestly the best I’ve ever had. The service staff was attentive, warm, and you could really tell they cared about the restaurant and the experience. The space is beautiful, and even though it was busy, we never felt it. I can’t wait to go back — I’ve been thinking about it since Friday.

On May 17, the manager on duty disrespected me and yelled at me in front of other guests because I asked to change my table. I mistakenly booked the bar instead of a table, so I asked the hostess if we could move to a table. The hostess was helpful and offered me a table with a time limitation. I took a few minutes to confirm because I wanted to discuss it with my fiancée and didn’t want to rush our dinner. When we made the decision to move with the time limitation, I went to confirm the change with the hostess, but because she was on the phone, the manager jumped in. Since he had no context of the situation, he lost his composure and became aggressive and confrontational He did move us to a table, but not without mocking and belittling me in the process. For obvious reasons, we had to leave the restaurant.

We visited again after 3 years and the quality of the food is exceptional as always. Try their bone marrow, crab tartare, dry aged ribeye.

Seating: Bar (Brasserie) Atmosphere: 10/10 | Overall feel of the restaurant feels as you'd expect it to be. Service: 10/10 | Paced properly when ordering entrées, mains and dessert. Extremely pleasant staff, if you have a problem just ask. Food: 10/10 | No issues here, had the bone marrow with burgundy snails as an entrée, Lamb sirloin (Recommended by Barman) as main and the Pavlova as dessert. Dish sizes are surprisingly decent (entrée + main) and I was too full for dessert. Overall 10/10 | Money Worth

If you get the chance to book a table here, do it! We ate in the brasserie and had a wonderful evening of delicious food and scrumptious cocktails. The bone marrow and snails starter was particularly delicious, along with the lamb rump main. The bouillabaise was superb- I could have happily eaten a loaf of bread with the rouille, it was so tasty! We rounded the night off by sharing a maple and pecan éclair. The service was great, and food was exceptionally prompt given it was a Friday night! Our only feedback to improve on an already great experience would be to serve your table bread warm with slightly softer butter.

Had a wonderful experience our first night dining at in Montreal at the Monarque. Our waiter was fabulous he was very welcoming and kind, explaining the menu and drinks in English to us. We had the halibut special and chicken. Both were cooked to perfection and normally we do not ever clean our plates, but tonight we did. We also had dessert, which again was delicious. Their drinks were also excellent, the Monarque and the Caravane, the Monarque was more savory. We were tempted to order the bone marrow but the couple next to us were devouring theirs and it was a large portion and we didnt think we would be able to eat everything. So we will try that in our next visit. We dined early around 5 with no wait, but by 6pm if was almost full. I would highly recommend dining here.

An absolute amazing experience. My husband and I sat at the bar, enjoyed a couple starters and some cocktails. The white asparagus starter really stole the show. So delicious. The bone marrow and escargots, was exquisite and very rich (in a good way) The octopus was cooked to perfection and paired so well with the ginger carrot puree. The Pistache cocktail was the number one best cocktail I’ve ever had in my life (12 years of working in restaurants ) Beautifully balanced., such a complex cocktail created with pure harmony. I will dream of this cocktail. We then continued our culinary journey with the pan seared tuna and braised lamb. We left our plates clean. Everything was delicious. We ended our night with the pavlova and crème brûlée dessert. My husband, not really a fan of desserts in general, practically licked his plate clean. The highlight of our night, was Serge the Barman. What an amazing, kind and gentle man. Truly gives the definition of “gentleman” Extremely attentive and knowledgeable about his menu and wines. We will certainly come back for the food, and definitely stay for Serge. 10000/10. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Came here on a Monday night and it was still pretty crowded! But there was plenty of space in the back which was nice so it didn’t feel as claustrophobic. The food was absolutely amazing!! My table shared the steak tartare but I personally got the Foie gras, ocean trout tartare, and oysters. My group also got the maple eclair and passion fruit pavlova for dessert. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. Our server Terry was attentive and gave us great recommendations. I also loved the atmosphere of the place, it’s sleek and modern. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely stellar and unforgettable dinners / lunches in "la salle a manger" of Monarque. Carefully thought and masterly executed, each dish brought its magic. The tuna tartare with the foie gras custard and bison tartare were phenomenal. The ris de veaux was equally fantastic. The pintage + agnolotti and bison steak with bourbon sauce were great as well. But clearly the star of the night was the shiso apple with gin and celery dessert...Super balanced, original in texture and flavors, it was probably the best dessert I have ever tasted in my life! Added to the palate experience is the impeccable service by Gustav and Stephanie from the beginning to the end. What a blast! I have now been to Monarque 10+ times and it never disappoints. Consistency and excellence in the kitchen and on the floor are trademarks of this always packed restaurant.

Their service is definitely the worst during my trip. The waiter ignored me 3 times and decided to service other tables. Not sure if it’s because we are Asian not white. Drinks are wrong, never added water. I will never come again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The service issues you described — drinks mixed up, water not refilled, feeling overlooked — are real service issues, and I’m genuinely sorry your visit fell short of what we expect of ourselves. That’s on us, and I take it seriously. I do want to address your comment about race directly, because it matters. Our team serves hundreds of guests every week from every background imaginable, and the idea that a table would be deprioritized based on ethnicity is something I find deeply inconsistent with who we are and how we operate. I won’t dismiss how your experience felt — a guest who feels ignored has every right to name that — but I also owe it to our team to say that I do not believe that was the intent or the cause. What I can say with certainty is that the service you received was not good enough, for any guest, regardless of the reason. If you’re open to it, I’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly — a conversation will tell us more than a comment thread can. Please reach out at [email protected] M.Visentin General Manager

Amazing night. The food was great, the service was impeccable, the atmosphere was also very good. The Desserts were good but not amazing but the rest was very good. It was better than some of the bistrots that I went to in Paris more recently... one of the best meals I have had in a while. The Cuisse de Canard was as good as I would get in Paris... also had a pretty well served wine list and the waiter really knew his menu - was a professional through and through.
