I love to go to bistros 4 seasons, not just summer; Vibrant energy, getting drinks, good food and talk, just love it. This place has a trendy decor and a big open terrasse which are very attractive, but does not necessarily deliver what it seems.

The food and service wasn't as good as I expected. Sangria and beer were ok that we could get at any other bistro.Caesar salad and fried calamari... plus

Great place for a weekend brunch. I got the Benedictines terre (bacon, roasted tomato, goat cheese and spinach) and they were marvelous. Their hollandaise sauce was pretty good too. My friends got the tar time de boudin and chocolate banana gaufres and both were raving about the food as well.

Service was good as well. The only complaint really is my friend came in a little late for brunch and... plus

Being my third time here, brunch was my best meal.
The freshest smoked salmon I've ever had at any brunch in Montreal, & they are generous with real maple syrup.

Mostly inexperienced young staff.
Brought clients here for dinner.
Had our $90 wine poured by a teen who propped bottle on lip of my glass. Dripped wine down side of my glass, down bottle & all along table.
Told us to enjoy & walked... plus

BRUNCH: Went there for brunch once and it was eeally OK. We couldn't even get a clean glass of water. Imagine! And the food was good but nothing "woah" about it. In my opinion, this place is a bit overrated and overpriced for the menu they have to offer.

I will give it a try for dinner. Let's hope this time it will be less disappointing.

Really awesome place went for breakfast had the tiramisu waffles and they were to die for!!! Always love these types of restaurants that rethink breakfast and offer more than bacon and eggs

Great restaurant with nice servers. The burgers and steak are great. They have minipogos and onion soup that are really awesome too. For desert they have a really sweet pudding that's to die for.

Service is usually good until the end. The waiters consistently forget about you after the main course is served. It's sometimes hard to get the bill. But otherwise they're all really nice.

Saturday... plus

So, we went to ride up to a near by resto to pick up a friend after work, (3 doors down), and decided to stay in the area for some food and a few drinks for it was a beautiful Sunday in the summer of montreal. And that does not last long so one has to take advantage of such situations. Just one humble man's opinion, and for the record, i randomly met this man, and found out that he was not that... plus

Yes, I'm a fan.

We had a reservation for three people this past Saturday night at 7:30pm. The place was bustling and busy....very lovely atmosphere. You hear French being spoken aloud. The waiters are friendly and prompt. The food was all on point. This place was a highlight to a lovely weekend in Montreal.

Pros:

-Food is fresh. The dishes came out promptly. The presentation of each dish was... plus

Good food. Good wine. But nothing outstanding.
I do go there regularly because it's a great no-fuss kind of place ; meaning that you can have a great time regardless of your taste in food. I would almost qualify it as a good ''hang out'' place. I've been dressed up, and i've been dressed casually.
Not ideal for a first or second date - but great for a night out with friends.

I recommend the... plus

It's a good place but I find it a bit overrated. Food is not bad however paying $5.00 for a mini glass of "Tropicana" orange juice, $4.00 for a hot chocolate and $16 for a PLAIN waffle is just ridiculous. I know is not McDonalds but a rather stilted menu doesn't justify those prices.

Perhaps my mistake was going with children (the reason for the plain waffles,orange juice and the hot chocolate... plus

Great place!

I've been there twice for brunch. It is pretty standard French brunch food with omelets, crepes, croissants etc...

The potatoes they served as a side were magnificent and seasoned to perfection. Great terrace outside in the summer.

Admittedly it is pricey but it's worth the extra money. It can be a bit slow compared to cheaper brunch places like Cora but it is something to be... plus

I went to this restaurant after I won a mini putt tournament at work. My colleagues went out after mini putt and invited me to come. I lied to everyone and told them I was going to see my brother. I actually came to this restaurant to steal salt and pepper shakers. I ordered a water (shaken, not stirred) and a virgin rum and coke. I had the fish soup. It was so great. BTW: I'm from gaspe, so... plus

Expensive for nothing, and they apparently "don't alter their menu". So asking something as simple as hold the tomatoes, or bacon on the side, was not possible. I would not go back there.

Horrible food , horrible service .
Don't even think of going there.
OVERRATED.

If your going here, I hope its just to have a beer at the bar and to enjoy the decoration and atmosphere and cute, attentive waitresses. Those are the positives.
The simple negatives are the food and the wine list- both have WAY too much pretention for what they are- mediocre. All the food is served in some 'creative' way on a white plate that is much too large and just looks ridiculous. For... plus

AWFUL service. Took an hour just until they could put our order in. We waited so long for our food we were barely hungry when it came. Not worth it.

The service brings down the food. I had been sitting down for over 15 minutes and had not received a menu, although many waiters were around. None paid attention to me though, and were borderline rude. I had to waive down 3 waiters before I received a menu. The waiter who did serve us was nice and pleasant, but kept forgetting our drink orders and did not fill up our water glasses. Not many... plus

really good. Great place.

Wow!! my new favourite place! What is not to like...the great bar list, the great food, the lovely decor...and the clothing items they have for sale! The only downside is that they did not fully respect our reservation time, but it was worth the wait as I had an amazing evening with my girlfriends and the food was to die for. I had the 'pogos' as an entree and their delicious burger. I also... plus

Wow! Je suis allé bruncher là-bas sans rien m'attendre vraiment. Je me disais que c'était un autre restaurant typique de brunch du Mile-End. Damn, j'avais tort!

best meal we had in Montreal! this was our first visit to the island city (a surprise for my husbands 30th bday). We made this our last meal of the trip and though we bixi'ed in the rain it was so worth it! We ordered the cod fritters, the grilled chicken salad (holy sh*t), the macaroni and cheese, and the market fish and chips of the day. It was pretty silly that it was soooo good. We lounged... plus

I am surprised by their 3.5 star review. I rarely rate something 5 stars unless it truly is (in my mind). Since I am basically a tourist I can't tell you much about the area except that it was fairly close to the Outremont metro station and the neighborhood was very cute and quaint.

So we started off by sitting outside which was the best thing that could have happened. Such a beautiful night!... plus

Amazing french toast! They serve it drizzled with syrup, just the right amount, perfectly cooked homemade brioche. I'd like to branch out and try other things, as my friends' eggs benedict looked great too, but I'm sure I'd just order the french toast again as soon as I walked through the door! They have separate English menus for the non-francophones, which is unusual in Montreal (but much... plus

I work in Outremont and this is pretty much my favourite lunch place in the hood. The food is consistently great and the service is impeccable...plus they have an absolutely kick a@s patio in the summer, most perfect for people watching. The specials of the day are always so varied and they have something for absolutely everyone.

Their fish and chips, mac & cheese, fish special and desserts... plus

Les Enfants Terribles has one of the best summer terrace spots in Montreal. It's great in winter, too; I've had many a cozy meal here. The cuisine is French bistro comfort style, and I always enjoy the salmon tartare. It can get crowded and noisy, so best to reserve in advance if possible (though I've also managed to drop in and score a table). The wine list is decent, too. Afterward, walk down... plus

I recently brought a few friends to Les Enfants Terribles for lunch while they were in town visiting me, and they.. were.. blown.. AWAY! Yes! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. To top it off, it was a beautiful and sunny day, things couldn't have gotten any better.

They shared an appetizer of calamari to start and each had lamb burgers as their main course. I stole a few fries off... plus

We ate here again on my trip to Montreal last week. I ordered the Salmon with kale on quinoa, my daughter had the Mac & Cheese. Honestly it was the best salmon I have had in my life.

Again, we had a reservation. Still as busy as it was a year ago. Try to book ahead. But it is That Good, and well worth the trip from wherever you are in Montreal.

They have lovely heated sidewalk seating as... plus

Situated in a trendy neighbourhood and a stone's throw away from the much celebrated ice cream shop Bilboquet, this is a perfect spot for summertime lunch on the terrace. Even when braving the cold winter months, this restaurant offers a good selection of comfort food and the interior decor is quite chic and inviting.

I'd recommend the gazpacho and one of the tartare plates. The portion sizes... plus

Wow! What a great place this is. I was in town on business and was brought here for diner. Just happened to be during a record breaking week of amazing Spring weather. The place was packed! The patio bustling with happy patrons. We waited 10 minutes to be seated and started our meal with an Outremont Mojito, a twist on the classic using dark run rather than white and maple syrup instead of cane... plus

Food was great, the service was nice and fast even though they were packed.

We were a party of 6 in our early 20s and had a reservation for 8:30 on a Thursday night. We were speaking English to one another but all of us are fluent in French. Upon entering the very crowded and cramped restaurant at 8:25, we were told that our table wasn't ready yet. There were no seats for the 6 of us and we had no choice but to stand in the narrow passageway between tables, making it... plus

Restaurant itself is very stylish - mixing black/white/grey with long wooden tables.
The crowd runs the gamut from cute hipsters to middle-aged women which seem to blend together as effortlessly as the decor.

We had a slight ennui when the host gave our table (dilligently reserved a couple of days earlier) to 2 other women who muscled past us but the owner quickly noticed, aplogized profusely... plus

I've been to this place a few times, it is high time for me to write a review.

The decor has already been described by previous reviews, so I won't expand too much on that. Let's just say, a very cool mix of nice wood tables on a more modern backdrop. Very nicely done. I agree that this may not be the best place for an intimate dinner, but that is not the type of place it is. You have more... plus

This corner was a goldmine waiting to happen. While the previous dump (Vasco da Gama?) circled the drain with its overpriced c@!%!y sandwiches and holier-than-thou attitude, whoever owns this place now was plotting to open one bistro in Outremont to end them all.

And what an opening- gorgeous decor accented by driftwood-like beams studding the walls, iron, shades of grey mixed with black and... plus

Although the location is highly convenient if one is attending the opera at Théâtre Outrement, the bustling, crowded tables render intimate conversation impossible. However, the yellow tomato purée was an innovative form of gazpacho. The atmosphere is trendy in a true bistro locale.

Super nice resto in Outremont!! The owner is there "all" the time, she is very involved, finding us seats, telling us what her "coup de coeur" and she is right, we recommended the soup last time, and it was absolutely amazing!!
We had the beet salad, fabulous with the warm goat cheese!! Plus the Jaret d'agneau also the fish was fantastic!!
I like the long U shape bar, this is always my favorite... plus

Lovely decor: high vaulted ceilings, reclaimed wood, old wooden schoolroom chairs, lots of light.

Mediocre brunch. No more than a standard menu - my omelette was perfectly respectable, but the choices are slim, especially compared to Café Souvenir next door. Allongé was bitter and burnt-tasting; jam was an inedible Kraft packet you'd expect from a corner greasy spoon.

Not terrible, but not... plus

Halfway decent romantic restaurant on a Monday night, that I'm sure turns god awful loud and crowded on a weekender.
Food was all Quebecois (rare meats, heavy sauces, a pound of cheese in every bite) with one or two pleasant distractions like something asian inspired and fish and chips.
The calamari starter is enough as a meal. the fish and chip entree was good but the tartare either had too... plus

Great place, great food and great ambiance. One of the best patios in town for summer. This place is right across from Outremont theater where all the top French troupes from Paris come to perform. Naturally they come to chill at this restaurant after the show. So if you want to socialize with some really bohemian French artists this is your spot.

I was at this place last Friday (July 3rd). The service was pretty good. I initially ordered the mojito and found it a bit on the weak side, so the waitress took it back and added an extra shot of rum, i appreciated that. Then I got the lychee martini, I am accustomed to this drink being somewhat clear, but they make it red (probably some coloring), but it was pretty good. As a main course, I... plus

We went here for my birthday. I love the atmosphere of this place, especially in the summer and the outdoor seating -- but not too prententious.

The menu is french/quebequoi, and the specials all seemed interesting. We really enjoyed our appetizers -- beet salad and warm goat cheese salad. However, it took an hour between our appetizers and main course. We all ordered the specials, but there... plus

Worst Montreal Experience

It was the worst dining experience I've ever experienced. The service was terrible and charge was ridiculous. A glass of champagne for $21!!! The owner should be reported as the worst crook and all travelers should warned of this location. They overcharged my credit card, etc. I really left feeling horrible about the experience and then to find out that they completely screwed on my credit... plus

Dinner is fair, desserts are pretty amazing, service for some reason is off, the hostess/owner is really nice although staff need helps, messed up orders and slow/unatentive.

Ambiance/decor is really amazing, street side terrace is nice.
