I don't know how it took me so long to visit this place. It's always been on my list and I know now I should have tried it sooner. The place is fantastic BYOB (Bring your own Bottle or bottles) restaurant with absolutely delicious French cuisine. The service is fantastic and the ambiance is simply wonderful. It's perfect for a date or not a date, great for an intimate dinner with friends or family. Absolutely a must if you live on Plateau. read more

The food was excellent but no beverages except water are available. May I repeat: NO BEVERAGES EXCEPT WATER! So you must bring your own. We had to go to a store to buy some drinks and wine. There was no fee to uncork the wine or for glasses. The service was good and the Ambiance good. Also it was difficult to get to and as per usual; difficult parking. read more

Monsieur B - Pork chop - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This place is HOT! No I mean the AC wasn't running or does not work. Best part of the meal actually was the friendly service (wait staff), but the kitchen was a bit slow. Salmon Tartare was the highlight, we got the large which is enough for 4 (too much for 2) to share. French fries are a MUST, perfectly fried, crispy outside, pillowy soft inside with just enough salt. My chicken balentine was a pretty small portion with very light flavors, but moist. Skip the beef tonge pie, not a lot of flavor(s). Observed the beef tartare with fries could be shared, would get that next time. Great that you can bring you own bottle of wine. read more

I tried the restaurant during the MtlaTable event. They offered a $31 menu with 3 appetizers, 3 entrées and 3 desserts. The space is very small (30 places probably) and there was a group of 10 on that night. Nevertheless we were seated immediately and served very quickly. I strongly suggest making a reservation. Since it was MtlaTable, the waiter did not go out of his way to explain the menu or provide suggestions. The restaurant is BYOB which makes the bill very tolerable. I had the fish accras appetizer, and braised pork croquette and finished off with the vanilla and pineapple panacotta. My friend had the salmon tartare, lamb and goat cheese risotto and cheese plate. Everything was good and fresh, spiced properly. I was pretty impressed with my plates and I would just say the dessert was too sweet for my taste. My friend liked her plates but was not blown away. I will visit the restaurant again to try their regular menu. read more

I came here with some friends for Mtl à table, $33 for 3 dishes. This place is a little off the beaten track a little off from the main intersection of St Denis and Villeneuve. First things first: it's bring your own booze! There aren't too many stores in the direct vicinity to buy alcohol so come prepared. I had the foie gras as a starter, it came with a kumquat jelly, another sweet jam and raisin bread. I love when foie gras is paired with sweetness to offset the fat. This was tasty, but nothing mindblowing. Next I had parmesan and braised lamb risotto. It was very cheesy and didn't need any extra to be added. This was very tasty, but a little too small. Or maybe I just eat too much haha... For dessert I had a deconstructed lemon tart and my boyfriend had a panna cotta with dulce de lèche and pineapple. Both were pretty tasty, I preferred mine, so there was limited sharing haha. read more

I've been a few times and I've always been really pleased with the menu, food, service, and price. It's very reasonable, and delicious. It's bring your own wine, and is across the street from a great corner store. The place is small, so reservations are generally recommended. It's a gem of a neighborhood restaurant conveniently located near Laurier metro. read more

My friend booked the whole restaurant for his birthday at 9pm and everyone loved the food. The beef tartare and the fondant de chocolat transported me back to Paris in some of my favourite bistros. The salmon tartare my friend " forced " me to try from his plate was a must- simply perfectly executed with a balanced sauce and the right ingredient. It's my new favorite byob in the neighborhood with the perfect balance of food quality, price, service and environment. read more

Excellent food, service and price. The foie gras was delicious and the fog jam went really well with it. We also shared the gnocchi escargot. The sauce was buttery and delicious. The escargot was tender and not overly oily. We also shared the steak, which was also tender and really flavorful. We last had the chocolate dessert which was amazing!! I recommend all the dishes and would definitely go back! Also byo wine. read more

One of the greatest food experiences in my life (and I'm a foodie). My boyfriend brought me to Monsieur B to celebrate our new, yet deep, love. The waiter, Julien, was the friendliest foodie I've seen (he didn't make any statement, but there's no way he isn't, according to how he talked about the menu). There was so many good suggestions that I asked him to guide me, which he did perfectly, as if he was reading my soul. The starters were tasty, I had a salmon tartar and my boyfriend had that huge crush on the foie gras, which almost had me doubt about how much love he is capable of. The trou normand, a scoop of Les Givrés' grapefruit sorbet with a vodka splash, was delicious and refreshing. It had us renew our love for each other. My man had rabbit as a main dish and I almost clapped when Julien explained me what was on my plate. I never had anything called Surf and Turf before, but I'll definitely try it again I happen to read in on a menu. There was tuna, there was beef, there was love. With a side of asian slaw, well marinated, with toasted peanuts (I never thought peanuts could be that fancy). While eating the main dish, we didn't really talk. Some serious tasting was going on. Their panna cotta had a solid reputation. We almost went for something else just to try, but we decided to both go for their classic and we weren't disappointed, far from it. At that point, we were somewhere very high without the help of any cloud, although the wine (BYO) might have helped somehow. Please go if you can, I believe there's no way to regret your choice. And to anyone giving a bad review to Monsieur B: I think you are a liar/jealous/hidden competitor. Thank you, - A Juliette in love. read more

Great restaurant. This is a charming little bring your own wine restaurant with fantastic food at very reasonable prices. I've been to this restaurant about 30 times, and I've never been disappointed. The food is good and the service is great too. I only wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars. read more

My girlfriend and I went here with another couple last week. Two of us ordered the $50 six service menu, and the other two ordered a la carte. Everything we tried was delicious. The pork chop I got as a main course was extremely flavorful and much bigger than I expected. Another highlight was the salmon tartare. The trou normand was a bit odd - a scoop of rhubarb sorbet in a glass of vodka. My girlfriend was turned off by the vodka, but while I'm not normally a vodka fan, I found the flavors complemented each other extremely well and I really enjoyed it. As a reasonably priced BYOW restaurant with great food, I'll definitely be back here. It will be a future favorite for date nights, I'm sure. read more

Everything was delicious. My taste buds were popping with flavours. Excellent service. Only hic, we were crammed like sardines but the food made up for it. Highly recommend! read more

Monsieur B - Croustillant de veau - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A friend and I stumbled upon this place because she remembered having tried it years ago and wanted to go back, I'm very glad we did , it was such a great restaurant ! The location itself is adorable, casual but still nice and chic without being overly fancy. Our waitress was so sweet she made sure to accommodate my friend's food allergies and made sure she got a meal she could enjoy. I had Gnocchi with mushroom, parm , escargot with a cream of artichoke and it honestly blew me away - it was executed so perfectly , every ingredient was prepared so well and the seasoning and cook on everything was on point ! My friend had the salmon tartar with fries and arugula salad which I also got to taste and may very well have been the best salmon tartar i've had in a long time if not ever! (They do also serve tea, coffee and dessert, I cant review those yet though because we didn't try them this time around) The prices are mid range , very reasonable considering how much care is put into the quality of the food and the service, and the portions are enough to be filling and satisfying so you wont leave hungry. You are basically getting a high end food/service experience in a casual, cozy& comfortable atmosphere that is still chic without the high prices/small portions. I definitely recommend giving this place a try for a nice lunch or dinner ! read more

Monsieur B - Awesome salmon tartare - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So I went to this BYOW for my birthday..... And I was never served so horribly in my life. It all started when I asked for croutons for my tartare, the server said they didn't have enough bread and that's why they didn't give us much while we were waiting. I told them that tartare without croutons is not very good, they didn't care, after arguing they brought back plain bread. I asked if it could be toasted or put in the oven on broil to make them crispy. The server started yelling at me but them came back with some weird toasted bread..... After everyone was done eating their plate. I said I'm sorry but it's kinda too late.... I was never screamed like that in my whole life by anyone. My friends started getting into it and both servers were screaming and insulting me and my friends. Note that the manager was not there on a busy Saturday night. They didn't even wanna bring a piece of cake for my birthday but my sister argued with them and they finally did but charge her 9$ for the slice of cake. I can't believe they charged my plate which I didn't touch, plus the slice of cake and they never apologize or threw in something to make up for the way they treated me..... All my friends felt so bad for me cause it was my birthday..... I am never ever going there and so are all 15 of my friends that where attending my birthday supper. read more

We had an extra $20 added to out bill for nothing and the food is mediocre.

This place is serving food that is orgasmic. The quality and dishes are wonderful. It was here I first tried beef tartar and it was amazing... Full of flavor!! I actually craved it afterwards. I've also tried the duck risotto, veal, crab cakes... The list goes on and on. It's right down the street, BYOW and great quality?? What more can I ask for? A DEFINITE "must go" if you're in the area!! read more

EXCELLENT food. We had Black Angus steak, lamb risotto, duck (which was superb), and guinea fowl. Appetizer of the day was also delicious (a dumpling/ravioli with spinach and ricotta). Only complaint was the noise. The space is small and intimate, so if there's a large group eating while you dine, it may be loud. Not a place to go if you are sensitive to noise or want a quiet dinner. read more

Just left the restaurant...glad to leave. As soon as I walked in,a large group was so loud. As the waitress was explaining the menu, I couldn't even hear her...SERIOUSLY!!! The entire evening was horrible!!! It gave me a headache. WILL NEVER Go THESE AGAIN!!!! I asked the waiter to nicely ask me group to make less noise and to consider the other guests in the place but nothing was done. Don't waste your time and money!!! read more

$75, 7-course NYE dinner. Food was quite good - some dishes mediocre (rabbit), some delicious (mushroom risotto, chocolate pot). Service was so-so (one server was very personable, second was not). Water glasses not refilled until meal's end. My biggest complaint was that while the first 3 courses came to our table with only a few minutes in-between, the subsequent courses were separated by about 20 minutes each, too long for such small servings in my opinion. Overall, from first to last course we were there for 2.5 hours. In the end we were satisfied but not impressed. Maybe we'll try it again on a regular menu night. read more

I had a fantastic birthday celebration with friends here. The atmosphere was perfect for our group and the service was great. I highly recommend the salmon tartar (it was incredible!). I also had a butternut squash gnocchi and brownie for dessert, both of which were delicious. read more

Salmon tartare was a hit! I love the bring your own wine element with the elegant decor. We went there for a birthday and it was wonderful. The only downside is that it is a very small space so reservations is a must!! read more

Such an amazing experience. Cute restaurant. Small and cosy. The food was one of the best meals I've had in Montreal. I had herb crusted cod with tomatoes and a chorizo cream sauce and it was the most delicious dish. The creme brûlée was a real treat. Top notch grub. read more

This little charming BYOW had the best food I have ever tasted. I recommended this place to all of my friends who want to impress their first date. Service is great, and it's not that expensive for the quality of the food. read more

All the dishes we had were outstanding. The highlights included the scallop and blood sausage appetizer, potato soup, salmon tartar, crispy veal and smoked cheese, along with the chocolate mousse. In addition our servers were friendly, knowledgeable and on top of things. A sensational neighborhood restaurant! read more
