    Wow. Amazing food. The beet salad and confit were top-notch. And our waiter was excellent! He gave us the perfect recommendations for food and wine. Can’t wait to come back.

    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 2 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 6 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

    I loved it. Just demander au service de poser le vin de qualité sur la table et de servir le vin devant le client au lieu de le mettre dans une carafe . Pour la sécurité du client et l’élégance du service il doit avoir sa bouteille de vin en visuel sur le côté ( dans un seau à glace ) ou sur la table . Le reste était parfait . J’ai adoré

    Excellente suggestion, Evelyne. Nous l'avons transmise au sommelier. De la part de toute l'équipe, merci beaucoup pour votre belle critique. À la prochaine ! Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité
