Then I'd never had sticky toffee pudding before, so I had that for dessert. Yummy! My waitress was fantastic! Even though I was alone, she made me feel welcome, and even though there was a lot of French going on in the restaurant, we spoke English together easily. It's in a very nice neighborhood, Outremont, which is worth walking around in. My only complaint would be because they have a lovely open air terrace, I was being bugged by bugs. Flies and maybe gnats. I know there's nothing much they can do about it, but still. I imagine in winter, this wouldn't be a problem.

The host was welcoming and friendly, but unfortunately, we didn't have the same experience with our server. They weren't very warm or attentive and never came back to check on us, ask how the food was, or see if we needed anything. It felt like the customer service was lacking. The French toast absolutely lives up to its reputation and did not disappoint. The caviar eggs Benedict was just okay. The pancakes that accompanied the caviar were too soggy, which took away from the dish. Overall, I would come back to try the dinner menu because the atmosphere and some of the food were great. I just hope the customer service is more attentive next time.

Close to Courtyard by Marriott. We got in from Saratoga and after the drive wanted something…read moreclose, but not the hotel restaurant. We saw the Yelp reviews, the menu and took the chance. It is a small restaurant off the beaten path. According to our server, mostly patrons from the business district for lunch and tourists in the evening, like us. We speak a little above basic French and our server allowed us to speak when ordering, but was gracious when we got out of our league and took over in English. Not to worry, you do not need to speak French in Montreal. It was enjoyable for us though, to at least keep the skills fresh. We ordered the filet mignon with the mashed potatoes and asparagus and two cocktails. The cocktails were refreshing and light. The dinner came and the meal was cooked perfectly to order and delicious. There are a couple of photos of the meal in the picture queue and it looked exactly the same. The meat was so tender and of high quality. The only problem, for my wife and I at least, is that the sauce was not necessary. We like the taste of the meat and do not require a sauce, but in this case, it was very appropriate for the plate. Just saying for those of you who might have the same palate. Overall a great experience and a delicious meal. If ever in Montreal again this will be a must stop. The also have an ample wine selection. You can find something affordable and appropriate for the meal.

The restaurant itself is pretty large and spacious and while it's inside of a hotel, it's classy with a touch of elegance. Food-wise, I had the mediterranean sea bass as an entree and the beef tartare as an appetizer along with salad and a dessert. The dishes were delicious. The sea bass could have slightly benefited from being a fatter cut, as the perfect sear on the outside made the white meat just a second overdone, but overall it was delicious and unavoidable with the cut. The desserts were excellent. Service was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Not only were they able to accommodate us, we were given a beautiful table beside the window, which made for such a beautiful background for such an important dinner! The service was obviously impeccable, and the food was unexpectedly spectacular. The menu was exactly what we wanted in Montreal - French food, but not too fancy to comprehend. All of the items ordered appeared to be enjoyed by my guests. The prices were also reasonable, given the prime location and beautiful restaurant - I would say around $50pp before drinks. We shared a couple bottles of lower priced wine which was minimal when the cost was split. Overall, I am so appreciative to Gaspar Brasserie Française for the wonderful dining experience. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion or date night.

My wife ordered their burger. For dessert, we split a Paris Brest. My meal was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I don't know how to find the words that describe how amazing my dish was. The beef - savoury and tender. The risotto - seasoned just right. But again, words don't do it justice. My wife's burger - good. Nothing out of this world. Not a bad burger, but not the best she's ever had, either. Finally, the wait time. Where did they lose points? The food came in a reasonable amount of time (17 mins.), but just waiting for the waitress to take our order took quite a while. But knowing this, if I'm ever in Montreal again, I would DEFINITELY go to this restaurant.

Every dish was excuted to the highest of quality, and the command of service is certainly no less. (Bluefin Tartare: A) - Fresh and light Asian-forward profile on a tuna tartare, with a stunning tapioca chip and a refreshing blend of cucumber and other accompaniments with the tuna. (Octopus: A) - The flavor of this dish is perfectly balanced with a seafood saline coming from the octopus, complemented by the sweetness of the peppers and the acidity of the olives. The octopus is impressively tender and could not be cooked nor seasoned better. The potato component was omitted due to dairy, but the dish is already perfect to me. (Squid Ink Spaghetti: A) - Perfectly cooked pasta being just on the verge of al dente, but still soft enough. The sauce is well made, not being runny and just coated enough to give the pasta and seafood flavor without overpowering. The breacrumbs add a different saline and textural component to the dish pleasantly, which builds on the lovely sweet and spicy tomato sauce.

For my entree, I had the Paccheri pasta with braised lamb ragout, stracciatella, pine nuts, and pecorino. Also very good. Not a huge portion but you don't want that when you eat pasta.

BEST "BYOB" FRENCH BISTRO DURING RECENT TRIP…read more This is the best dining experience in our recent Montreal trip. I'm glad we made reservation since the place was quite packed when we arrived. To be honest, our first impression wasn't too great. We were seated in their main indoor dining area which was a bit too warm. We asked if we can be moved to their fully covered / heated patio area, but unfortunately the restaurant was full. Fast forward 15 minutes, we have placed our order and were enjoying our bottle of wine and a basket of bread. Our server came over and offered to move us to the patio area since a table had opened up. We were pleasantly surprised because (1) we didn't ask again and (2) most restaurants wouldn't change tables once customers started eating/drinking. The restaurant setting is unpretentious with a casual and cozy vibes. The staff are so friendly that we feel like having a family dinner! They offer a pre-fixe menu in which we thoroughly enjoyed! For appetizers, the escargot dish gave us a pleasant surprise. They wrapped the escargots and blue cheese sauce in a thin crispy crust! It's hard to describe, but it's sort of like having an escargot "crepe"! The few main courses we chose were excellent, and the rack of lamb was probably our favorite - tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. As for dessert, their creme brulee was one of the best I've had - creamy custard topped with a perfect, crisp caramel top. I'd highly recommend this place, and will certainly visit again when I'm in town next time!
