   Best meal I've ever had, sharing many dishes with my family here. The pâté en croûte, scallop ceviche, hanger steak, and Brussels sprouts were all to die for. Service and ambiance also impeccable. This is the kind of restaurant they make movies and tv shows about, expertly run by a wonderful team and head chef.

   This restaurant charges $50 per guest for no show reservations. I believe this is currently against the law. Quebec will be allowing $10 cancellation charge per reservation only in July 2025. I always cancel well in advance so doesn't affect me but beware.

   From the moment we entered, we were greeted by an unsmiling hostess with a very underwhelming welcoming to service that made us feel like we needed to hurry up and leave for the next guests. The 3 service offering came one on top of the other despite my asking them to slow down. The only person who made us feel welcome and valued was the bartender who provided an excellent service. The food was also underwhelming, not as tasty or refined as I had come to expect from Bistro Là Franquette. Perhaps it was because of the set menu for Valentines Day, but the food tasted pre prepared and lacked uplifting. The portions were microscopic. My partners cod main course was 3-4 bites. Overall disappointing and given the choices in that price range in Montreal creates pause when considering to return.
