    Overall great evening dining with the family. The ambience is energetic and the service is great. We ordered a few items from the menu. The salads were were very good, the cod cakes were good , onion soup was good but my husbands burger was on the dry side. The crème brûlée at the end was delicious !
    Le Pois PenchéResponded today
    Hello Mina, On behalf of everyone at Pois, thank you for your nice review. We take note of your feedback. The burger is not supposed to be dry. We apologize for this mistake. Please don't hesitate to let us know if something is not to your liking. It will be our pleasure to change it immediately. We look forward to seeing you again! Fede Director of hospitality

    Every time I’m in Montreal, this is one of the first places I go. I’ve been visiting the city for 14 years now, and this restaurant has become a must-visit every single time. The food is always exceptional, the service is friendly and professional, and the atmosphere has that perfect Montreal charm. It truly feels like a second home whenever I’m in town. If you’re looking for a consistently great dining experience, this is the spot! Thank you Olivier for your hospitality

    I've been many times, always a good meal. My only complaint is that a mini martini made with bad vodka should not be $25 a pop!
    Le Pois PenchéResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Carol, thank you for your kind words and for your loyalty. I will bring your feedback to our bar team to get more information. Our pricing is a delicate balancing act between cost of food, labour, and alcohol to reach a sustainable overall margin. Costs have been skyrocketing across the board. We try our best to keep everything within reason. It's always a pleasure to host you! Fede Directeur de l'hospitality

    Un peut trop cher pour la quantité dans les assiettes,les frites étaient mini dans mon bol,le tartare de bœuf quantité correcte et frais supplémentaires pour les frites!
    Le Pois PenchéResponded 7 days ago
    Bonjour Dominic, Il y a des détails bizarres dans votre message. 1) Le bol de frites doit regorger. S'il n'était pas plein, c'est une erreur de notre part; et 2) Il y a deux formats de tartares : entrée et plat principal. La petite entrée est servie avec des crostinis (sans frites), et le plat avec salade ou frites. Il semble qu'il y ait eu confusion. Nous sommes désolés pour ces irrégularités. En espérant vous revoir et mériter votre prochaine étoile, Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité
