    Dessert
    Xia S.

    It was really awful and frustrating experience. We order three sets and everyone's choice of deserts is different. During the middle of our dinner we had to leave for some reason. We asked to takeaway our desserts. And when we discovered our takeaway boxes next morning I was shocked, there is no crème no brownie no dessert of day no anything we had ever ordered, but just three same chocolates like I showed in pictures. I don't know why it happened, whether we had done anything wrong, we paid 15 percent tips. This is our first time to Montreal and I wanna find a nice French restaurant for my family, I chose Le Pégase. Finally I have to say that was so disappointing and I won't come second time.

    A wonderful dining experience. The room is small and the meal is small but creative. Every course was delicious. The short rib was particularly memorable. The service was helpful and attentive. The restaurant is BYOB. Parking near the restaurant is a challenge. The restaurant let us use a parking permit while we dined, for a fee.

    So glad we found this place!!! Food was delicious and very reasonably priced! And yes they are BYOB which is amazing that you get to taste amazing French food without having to pay top dollars for the wine to pair with! We had a bit problem looking for parking around the area and to our surprise, the nice waitress/hostess, Lahonse (not sure how to spell her name) gave us a special permit to park right across the street from the restaurant. Menu was all in French. We were definitely not 100% sure what we were looking at. The owner was a lovely man and speaks mainly French. we had a bit difficulties communicating with him in English but were at least able to place our orders. We had the salad, lentil soup to start our meal, it was delicious. For appetizers, I had the foie gras and my hubby had the salmon tataki. And both were excellent. Salmon tataki was slightly salty however. I'm usually not a foie gras person or crave it but figured I had to get it in a French place right? The foie gras was really really good and the amount they gave out was impressive! For entrees, my hubby had the seabass and i thought I ordered the osso buco but I got the lamb cheek stew instead..LOL..I'm not complaining tho since the lamb cheek was really good! The lamb was cooked very tenderly and was in this very savory stew with different vegetables. My hubbys seabass was excellent. For dessert, W had the cream brûlée and the Paris Brest and OMG! They were ahhhh-mazing!!!! The cream brûlée was hands down THE creamiest cream brûlée I've had!!! Sooooooo good I wanted to lick the plate after! And the Paris Brest was really really good as well!!! So flavor was so delicate and not overly sweet. I could eat this everyday if I could! The ambiance was very cute and cozy. And our waitress, Lahonse (not sure how to spell her name!) was just a lovely girl. The price was very reasonable as well for the quality and delicious food we had! We even had some left overs to take home! Overall this place was great and highly recommended!

    After a 6 hour drive from Toronto to Montreal, I really enjoyed this meal at Le Pegase last time I visited. You can order a la carte but the set meals are a good deal. It's a small establishment, staffs were friendly, food was delicious and beautifully presented, you can tell the chefs are passionate about food! Items on the menu has changed since my visit, set meals are still available though, high recommend them.

    This restaurant is our favorite in Montréal. Every dish we had was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The chicken liver pate they serve when you are first seated had so many layers of flavor, I had a steak, which was cooked to perfection. My son had the fish of the day and was so pleased that not a morsel was left on his plate. The service was excellent also. From the moment we walked in, Lawrence was wonderfully pleasant and accommodating. The restaurant is small, so reservations are recommended.

    Duck Breast - tender

    Pegase - Tonight we enjoyed our 2nd French dinner at Montreal - PEGASE! Bring your own bottle BYOB without corkage fee! Small and packed! First course: Turnip Soup - creamy and delicious; would be better to add two pieces of croutons or tarragon! Salad with Roasted Sweet Peppers purée, simple and yummy Second Course: 1) Tuna, Mango Tataki - excellent! 2) Escargots w mushrooms ragù on Garlic Bread - heavenly! 3) Foie Gras w/ sweated onion and peacan - creative, tasting and generous, would be better to have a hint of brandy Main: 1) Duck Breast - tender and juicy, delicious! 2) Rack of Lamb w split pea mash - excellent, cook to perfection! 3) Medallions of Female Deer Steak - gigantic portion, tasty but gamy as it should be! Raymond couldn't finish all Desserts: 1) Rice Pudding w Passion Fruit Sauce - yummy! 2) Lemon Tart, dashed w ginger cream - so refreshing! 3) Chocolate Mousse - homemade, rich and creamy, excellent! David is our server! Excellent services! All dishes are well prepared and so creative, choices of main course include different and special kinds of meat! Overall, big portions, excellent taste, great prices! My chef husband rated PEGASE as the must-try restaurant here in Montreal

    Good Golly Miss Molly! This French restaurant is Amazing! A triumph in French cuisine that stands alone IMHO as the undisputed champion in World class French cuisine. The food is so on point delicious and cooked to perfection. BYOW since they do not sell alcohol here. I saw many corks popping that evening. The restaurant is located in a residential part of town. Parking in front of the place is difficult and spots that are available are only reserved for the local residents who live and have a permit to park there. There is plenty of parking on the main roads. A little advice use an Uber to come and go if you plan to knock down a few bottles of wine. The Uber prices in Canada are pretty reasonable. The menu is simply laid out, you may need to turn on your flashlight on your phone, the lights are pretty dim here. We made reservations but walk in's are welcomed. They served us bread with butter and chicken liver pate' which was smooth and lush with flavor. The veal was the recommended protein for the evening. So we ordered the veal, lamb chops and artic char which was the fish of the day. For our Entrees - we had the duck tartar, calamari/octopus, tomato soup and house salad. You have an option to choose the Gourmet menu in lieu of the table menu, the only difference is the gourmet is served with dessert and coffee as well. The Awesome thing about eating with your immediate family, in this case my wife and son. I was able to sample everybody's food. The veal was cooked perfect and worked great with the beet puree as the base sauce. My lamb chops were prepared just right, medium and was tender and juicy with a two mustard sauce. The artic char was delicious as well, not over cooked and flavorful. For dessert we had the death by chocolate and a hot chocolate lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was a delicious hot mess. We finished up with a nice cup of cappuccino. Overall a most righteous and delicious meal. We will definitely tell all our Family and friends to dine here. Great food, service and atmosphere.

    This is a local gem. They are a bring your own wine small restaurant. Very cute with just around 10-12 tables. Food is spectacular. In fact we were already thinking about going back when we were eating. The chicken liver mousse for bread is unique. Scallop ceviche is absolutely delicious, I hope they come in bigger portion for sharing. Foie gras here beats all the other restaurants in the region for the 3 days I visited Quebec. Overall a very pleasant experience, strongly recommended!

    My absolute favourite BYOB in Montreal!!! Consistently delicious food in a nonchalant setting. I come back every few months and am always impressed with the food, service and staff. The highlight of this time were the mains : Joue de bœuf with veggies in red wine sauce Deer steak served with grilled veggies Always spot on!

    I don't know why I waited so long to come here... it was amazing! What a romantic ambiance and gorgeous little spot. They have a tresses in the back as well just wasn't open last night because it was super hot and it's enclosed so it would be way to hot. Service is impeccable, you are greeted once you walk in and once you leave they walk you to the door pretty thanking you for coming and to come back soon. It's BYOW.. yes you read right BYOW! What a delicious treat I didn't think a place with food this good would be a BYOW but of course it is and it makes all the difference. Ice bucket brought right away for the champagne cheers to that!! I decided to do the table dhote, which comes with either salad or soup a entree and your main and dessert. The food is out of this world. They really are good at matching what flavours blend together and not to over season or under season any of the veggies. Started off with a mesclun salad with roasted red peppers dressing, very light but packed with flavour. It was more of a pure with oil. Very good! Entrees were the escargot served with blue cheese on bone marrow.. so creamy and delicious must of been the best escargots I ever had. Next up was the foie gras served on a gingerbread brioche with pears. Melt in your mouth tasty. Last but not least was the Chèvre balls were awesome. Very light and packed with cheese. To die for. The main course was the veal and it was the chefs suggestion, it was served on veggies and a beet pure. Cooked to perfection, they added nut butter on top ! Lamb with 2 mustard sauce was something special and very juicy and tender. Fantastic meal. Dessert was cheesecake which was a tia Maria cake very Creamy but not to rich just right. Best meal I've had in a while

    Once again Pégase gave us something to remember. What a great way to end 2018 with people I love most. As usual, the place was jammed pack for the first service and second service as well. And even though it was very busy, the staff worked wonderfully and gave us a great service! My mother is in town from Florida and my husband and I wanted to take her somewhere nice but not overly expensive because we knew that she wouldn't be comfortable with us treating her. She never goes to nice restaurants and only goes toward Vietnamese/Chinese/Korean cuisine. We got the full service of four courses (not including coffee). Salad or soup of the day which were both very simple yet delicious! Three of us chose three different appetizers: escargots lasagna, beef tartar and crab cake. Mains: lamb chops, veal chop and hake fillet. Desserts: crème brûlée, lemon meringue pie and molten chocolate cake. EVERYTHING was executed perfectly and needed no adjustment in saltiness. They work miracles in that small kitchen. PRAISE!!! The food was so good that we ordered the lamb chops for take out for my father as well. Worth driving an hour to get to this restaurant in bad weather conditions for sure :)

    Le Pegase is perfect for a romantic date, or even a family gathering. This French restaurant sits on a quiet Mont Royal street, with little to call attention to itself save for the pegasus on its sign. Everything we tasted satisfied, from the duck confit salad - drizzled with a lovely balsamic vinaigrette - to the duck with orange zest (C$40 total), the tender meat[1] done in a homey preparation. Pacing was ideal[2]: in-between courses we enjoyed the bottles of vino we toted in. "Merci bien" to the friendly, accommodating service. [1] What can I say? I love duck. [2] Seriously, when can I come here again?

We tried: - complimentary bread, butter, pickles, mustard. I loved this. Never saw another restaurant plop down mustard and pickles. The mustard was also possibly the most delicious mustard I've ever had. Very spicy and slightly salty - Duck confit on beans $37. Tasty, crispy, rich. - Grilled octopus on pepper sauce with potatos $24. Really tender and flavourful. The sauce was bright and acidic - Sorrel soup $13.75. First time having sorrel. It has a slightly sour taste. The soup was creamy and tangy. I'm glad we tried it - Quail with quail eggs on purple rice $37.50. Quail itself wasn't as flavourful but the sauce was amazing and soaked into the rice - Creme brulee $15. Flavour was impeccable. Had a slight grainy texture which was odd but this is just nit picking. Comes with a warm cookie Everything was good. I'm being more nitpicky here than usual, mostly to go back to these notes again in the future. I loved the meal and would definitely go back. Service is very friendly. Food came out super fast.
