Great first experience dining at Monarque after hearing so many good things about it. Did not disappoint. The interior was classy and the service was excellent. We especially enjoyed the fois gras and the lamb. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great French cuisine in Montreal!

A lively spot for dinner with all the French classics. A little something for everyone. My boyfriend wanted to have a steak and I wanted something other than a steak. Did not disappoint. We had the most tender grilled octopus here (melt on your mouth), crispy cod fritters, striploin and fries with a side of sauteed mushrooms, duck confit and finished off the evening with an eclair. I would come back here just to devour a plate of their fries. Crispy on the outside, creamy and soft on the inside and bursting of potato flavor. They have a fantastic wine list also. Highly recommend the Hidalgo Albert Fina (red wine). Would definitely come back!

Best French food I've had. The staff was very kind to adjust us to the Brasserie from Selle a Manger upon request because of the confusion in reserving. The Foie Gras is perfection. The main entrees (duck confit and fish of the day) are fantastic. We especially enjoyed all the little vegetables in the main dishes, although they are not the star of the show but every single one of the vegetables (turnips, brussels sprout, potatoes, eggplant, etc) are just little jewels of nuanced natural flavor by themselves. We finished everything on the plate and would hope to come back in the future.

Had the tuna tartare, raviolo, venison and Chocolate Hazelnut dessert. All was delicious, but venison and choclat really were outstanding.

Enjoyed some excellent vegetarian options while celebrating an anniversary. My husband had the bone marrow with escargot as well as the duck confit and enjoyed those as well!

We had a really nice experience overall at Monarque. The starters were absolutely amazing , both the cold and hot appetizers were delicious, so much so that we ended up ordering two of each. Every bite was full of flavor. Dessert was also excellent and definitely a highlight of the meal. That said, the main courses were a bit disappointing compared to how strong the beginning and end of the meal were. The veal, unfortunately, wasn’t very good in my opinion. The sauce felt lacking, and the veal had a slightly too earthy taste for my liking. The fish was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the appetizers and desserts really stood out and made the experience enjoyable, but the mains didn’t quite live up to the same standard. A little disappointing, but it is what it is.

Such a great restaurant... Depending upon your palate and food tastes, you can book accordingly... The last time I was there my wife and I sat at the bar... It was sooo fun! Same food and wine - but the bartender repartee was amazing!!

Without doubt the rudest, most high on their own supply Maitre'd ever encountered, who is a detriment to an otherwise adequate showing worthy of a cold night with little on the calendar. Food good if not inspired, winelist a gem or two. Bar staff knowledgeable and friendly.

Monarque offers fantastic service and sophisticated decor. The trout tartare is divine—fresh and expertly textured—while the octopus and lamb use high-quality ingredients. However, the brasserie lighting is too bright, and the atmosphere could be warmer and cozier for diners.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous and well worth the price. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. Five stars!

They lost my jacket in the middle of winter unacceptable. You pay 300$ for diner then you learn they lost your 300$ jacket in February. Thats not what I expect from a wannabe high end restaurant.

Service was fantastic. Some of the best I’ve ever experienced. All servers are very attentive at Monarque.Food was tasty. I got the trout tartare, octopus, and lamb dish. My favourite was the trout tartare. It’s divine — very fresh and full of unique textures and flavours. The other two dishes were good but too salty for my personal preference. Everything served was made of high quality ingredients, beautifully presented, and made with intentionality.In terms of ambiance, Monarque is well decorated and sophisticated but lacks cozyness. I felt that the temperature of the restaurant could have been slightly warmer and lights dimmer. The lighting especially in the Brasserie is far too bright. I was noticed it as soon as I walked in.

We had an amazing night dinning here. There was a great selection of creative dishes but they also have classic ones which tasted fantastic as well. I especially liked the aged steak, it had great texture and great flavours. The balance between fat and meat was great, the mix of chewiness and softness was great as well and the pepper sauce that came with the steak complemented it quite nicely. The duck was pretty delicious too! The crispy skin paired so well with the tender meat and the flavours were nice as well. The service on the other hand varies quite a lot. We had a warm welcome initially from the waitresses and then some waiters were quite clumsy and rough which made it a bit less enjoyable. The contrast was too big not too notice. The atmosphere itself was great. There were so many customers that were enjoying the food, the vibe was just great. I do feel like the tables are a bit small making it feel a bit cramped but it was still quite nice.
