High end restaurant of course but surprisingly inexpensive compared to others in the same category
Reviews / Ratings for Restaurant Île de France - Le 9e
Service was good and portions were decent.
Superb place for dinner, food is excellent. Service impeccable. Loved it.
A popular restaurant in downtown Montreal, a reservation is highly recommended. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Food was tasty especially fish and chips. They came in a huge plate. The restaurant is quite big. There are several zones for many tables. However, they were almost full when we arrived.
I’ve been there several times for brunch, which is pretty good and fairly priced for the quality. Decided to reserve for dinner with a friend in December and was very disappointed with the food particularly for the price that they charge. Service and atmosphere was very good but would not return.
My wife and I booked for a saturday night dinner and were blown away by the old-world service and art deo decor. We started at the bar to enjoy a cocktail. The barman was exceptional. Based on what my wife was craving, he made a drink to match and it was amazing. When ready for our table, the barman brought our drink on a platter to our seats and handed us over to our server, who was equally amazing. We started with oysters nd bread which were deelicious then we had teh steak frites. The steak was cooked to perfection and everything was delicious, including desert. In thi sday and age finding a restaurant that provides value is difficult. Le 9e delivered!
Recently dined after watching a beautiful classical concert on the same floor. The concert moved me to tears absolutely beautiful but dining turned out to be a scary experience - I choked on a piece from the small salad the harder pieces of a small frisee or endives or other it had not been properly cut it was lodged in my throat for some time. It is important these are removed especially when they are micro sized and have small hard cores. These can be serious choking hazards . The venue is beautiful but appearances trumped both food safety in food prep and in responding to choking emergency. The restaurant was hesitant to call for response I understand that they didn’t want to disturb the other patrons but it was my life at stake and my server left me while I had food lodged in my throat to discretely get his supervisor. I had to repeatedly ask to not be left while the food was lodged I also had to ask for them to call emergency. I am grateful to the staff that finally stayed with me. I DO NOT recommend getting the small salad unless it is prepared more carefully. I DO recommend the restaurant put in place standard operating procedures for emergencies that prioritize patrons safety in life and death situations over maintaining decorum. At a time when so many beautiful and historic Canadian restaurants and shops are disappearing I hope this landmark restaurant lives for many more centuries as it contains Canadian history but it needs to prioritize patrons safety over appearances as it came very close to being my last meal and the response was more akin to serving a dessert than to saving a life. For that reason I will not be returning.
Consistently well executed dishes. Excellent bread, lobster pasta and desserts, with the lobster pasta being the clear highlight of the evening. The scallop dish was pleasant but less distinctive compared to the rest of the menu. Professional service and an elegant atmosphere. A strong overall experience, with several dishes worth returning for.
