Really enjoyed my experience at Le Quartier General. We were a group of 4 and we brought our own wine. The ambiance is classy but casual, kind of felt like I was at a dinner party at someone's house. The food was excellent but I wished there was more! I would definitely go back.

At the recommendation of a local friend with impeccable taste, Mrs. F reserved a table for two at Le Quartier Général to celebrate our wanniversary. We opted for the four-course table d'hôte menu and thoroughly enjoyed every course.

Excellent bread, even better butter.
Salad was simple, maple vinaigrette, a few slices of cherry tomatoes and radish.
Appetizers: Steak tartar, Matane shrimp.... plus

We had read great reviews of Le Quartier General, so we booked reservations before visiting Montreal (I recommend reservations as the restaurant was fully packed on a Monday evening). I do not say this lightly: this was the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. We opted for the $14 salad+entree+dessert to accompany our meal, which I would highly recommend. The service was incredible, the... plus

Went here for both lunch and dinner and I am a big fan of this place. My personal favorites include the chocolate mousse for dessert which must ABSOLUTELY be tried and the calamari appetizer on the lunch menu.

Although I loved the ambiance, service, and prices, there were a couple of downfalls in my meals. The worst one was the rabbit dish I had for dinner was very dry. The creme brulee on the... plus

I loved everything about this place with one exception. Every dish I had, save dessert, needed salt. Well made preparations, the side and condiments were wonderful but every piece of protein in every dish was devoid of seasoning. I had the lamb and the pork jowl. The chocolate mousse was perfectly delicious however.

This is the best cost/benefit restaurant you may ever find. An amazing French / québécois fusion cuisine for a ridiculous price for lunch and a great value for diner. Just remember the menu is different for lunch and diner.

To be even more perfect, you can bring your wine.

This is definitely a must go.

The best BYOB restaurant I've been to in Montreal. The effort they put into showcasing local producers' products is a nice touch. Apparently the menu changes daily, but if they have the Alberta lamb I strongly recommend it.

Had the cold soup, steak tartare, rabbit and creme brûlée-- one of the best meals I've eaten in a very long time

The place has an amazing atmosphere too!

One of the best meals I have had in a long time! The menu is small and changes every day. Our waitress was amazing and explained every dish to us and gave us her honest opinion about each dish. I was pregnant and she identified all the dishes that would be good for me to eat.
I also love the fact that you can bring your own bottle of wine-- and that there is a wine store just around the corner.... plus

Perfection in every way! Who knew rolled monk fish stuffed with seaweed salad could be such a revelation. The fish was somehow not overcooked but with a perfectly crispy crust.

It's ways off the main streets and more touristy places, but well worth the extra walk. Plus, you get to stroll past some charming Montreal residences in the way anyways.

Go here and get anything and you should be... plus

Best BYOW restaurant in the city. The food is consistently awesome. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Highly recommended!

The most impressive thing outside of the culinary experience, is the staff knowledge and professionalism. 5 stars.

Service impeccable, nourriture impeccable, emplacement impeccable. Un apportez votre vin qui vaut le détour. Et l'accoutumance

No problem getting last minute reservation. Wonderful pulled pork croquette and nice soup to start. Steak and veal were the mains. They were good. Wasn't overly a fan of the pure but the meats were good. The dessert was just awesome. The apple dessert was quite great as well the creme Brule. Solid meal all in all. Table note was well worth it.

In case you've missed this: Le Quartier Général is BYOB. I repeat, there's no corkage fee, so please bring your own bottle of wine, or two! (You can purchase alcohol in Montreal at government regulated liquor stores called "SAQ")

There are two seatings per night, one at 6:30pm and one at 9:00pm. Reservations are a must! You can call or reserve online here: restomontreal.ca/en/3277…

Had a fabulous meal at Le Quartier General. I would sum it up as spectacular food in a casual atmosphere.

Food: the food is the best part about this restaurant. The flavors in the sides and dishes combined perfectly were new and surprisingly delicious. I had the lamb, medium rare, and the garnish was like a slaw which had bright bits of mint and other flavors that tied the dish together... plus

Definitely one of the best BYOW in the city.. in fact, I really think it is the best!
Reservation is a must: 2 services : 6:30pm or 9:30pm. Group are also possible, but be careful, it is a small place and the windows very close, the noise can be very loud at one point.

I liked going to Quartier General for lunch, it is a sure bet. You can choose from different starters and main dishes on the... plus

I can only dream of a day when I can have something similar with such amazing value while boasting high quality service and taste in my own neighborhood in Manhattan....

Yes... I still dream about this spot. My family, extended members (bil's gf, a boyfriend and so forth) and I enjoyed this true delight together. The food was unbeatable in quality and price. Dear lord, I can't get over how... plus

I LOVED this place, and am SO glad it was recommended to me by my host. This is French cuisine of fine quality, at a price that makes food like this otherwise inaccessible to many people. For only $12 on top of the entree price, you are treated to an appetizer and dessert. The decor is clean and modern, with an open kitchen that is fun to peak into. The service is highly trained. If the French... plus

This is the kind of place you can BYOB! This is a true french restaurant. Everything is in french and it was cute how the waitress explained everything in English for me. I came here for lunch (but I hear it's a great deal for dinner and there's foie gras). The lunch entree and appetizer was 20 Canadian dollars. I ordered the tuna tartare and it was absolutely delicious! A dish that was... plus

Quaint restaurant that appears to be frequented by locals. The cuisine is simple, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. I had the carrot soup, beef with risotto and creme brulee, and my date had the zucchini flower app and rabbit with carrot puree. The beef cut was surprisingly served on top a large bone and the risotto had a rustic preparation. The rabbit was flavorful and tender. We enjoyed that... plus

At Le Quartier General, for $50 you will be served a 4 course menu with 1 Michelin star rated quality of food.

That should be enough to convince anyone to run there as fast as possible. This place is the best value I've ever seen. Not only is the food incredibly priced but it's Byob which makes it an absolute must go for anyone in the vicinity of Montreal.

I am still wondering how those guys... plus

Made reservations on Monday night. Arrived Friday without our name on the reservations. Was annoying since we had a baby sitter for the night. All other restaurants in the area were booked up. However, the guy at front tried his best to help us find a place, eventually reserving a spot at their other restaurant.
We ended up at Etat-manger, the sister restaurant, arranged by the other... plus

World class gourmet French cuisine. You can't go wrong when everything is just so right!
I love that it's around the corner from me, but I would drive across town to dine here; it is Sublime. & bring your own wine.
Must reserve well in advance.

Amazing. Great bang for your buck. We tried everything on the menu, mostly locally sourced. Will go back.

Service really good. they will describe the menu for you, so don't have to be worry if you can't speak French.
The food is fabulous. Everything here is worth to try.

First of all, you can bring your own wine and they make no fuss about uncorking it for you. Secondly, the food is delicious. I love the way they structure the menu (they make buying four courses very attractive). Everything was fresh and delicious. To top it all off the service was wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing. Definitely a recommended.

This is a nice concept. Bring your own bottle. We stopped by SAO and got us a bottle of a Saint emilion red wine. It was very good. The service was good as we were seated immediately. We started out with the lamb carpaccio. I think you have to acquire the taste. Then we had main course -veal chop. It was tasty. The dessert was chcocalate something. See photo

Made it to Montreal this week and had dinner at this great small restaurant tonight. Its not in the crowd area, kind of around the residential area. Luckily the waitress speaks fluent English so even its a full French menu (on the chalkboard), she explains to us what they are. We had the creamy tomato soup (served cold), quail as appetizer, rabbit and veal chop as main course, creme brûlée and... plus

Yes. I said it. 5 stars! We are Montreal regulars as our best friend lives in the city so we are no strangers to the food scene. Each visit, I gruelingly scan every board, article and website to decide on where we will be feasting while we are in town. LQG has been on my radar for awhile, but this time, we finally took the plunge.

We were a party of 5 on a Fri night and yes, I booked my... plus

The Spot:
Walking in off the street quartier generale feels like what my dinning room would be like around thanks giving, only bigger and full of strangers.
The fireplace and dim but not to dim lighting give it a warm feeling. It is a BYO so be prepared to have them offset liquor sales with paying full price for your meal.
Like many other restaurants of late it has the chalkboard menu but... plus

Yum yum yuuuummmm!

After listening to people rave about this place for the last five years, we finally tried it out!

Holy yumminess is all I can really say...

We went on a random Tuesday evening, and let me tell you, this place was PACKED. The ambiance is really cozy - menus on the walls, dark lighting, and it's a BYOW!

We had the full course meal, and both tried different things off the... plus

Great new place off the beaten path.
I had lunch here for the pre-fix price of $20.
It came with appetizer, main course and cappuccino
The food is awesome and so is the atmosphere.
Dinner is usually busier so try lunch here if you can.
All the dishes are seasoned perfectly and no minor details are missed here in the food.

Hands down the best BYOW resto in Mtl. bar none.

the food is amazing (i would stay away from the duck liver, cooking was not perfect) and the prices are very good for this type of resto.

they always have a nice selction of appetizers and entrees; i always end up taking the 5 course menu and its always UNDER 50$

never wrote a review before for this resto but i've been there for lunches,... plus

The best. Absolutely. One million times. One of the top 5 meals I have had in my lifetime. Go there - do it.

Qua tier general is the best dining experience we've had in a long time. I was in town for a couple of nights and A friend of mine got us a reso at 9 pm on a Tuesday night and the place was packed! We brought our own wine and no corking fees were charged! Awesome! The food was incredible and the service was even better! Every person who touched our table was absolutely fantastic. There are no... plus

Lunch Special!!

Le Quartier General was fully packed on a weekday around 2 pm! If you are coming with a group, reservation is strongly recommended! But since I was alone, I just waited a few minute before I got seated.

$20 prix menu with a choice of appetizer and main and if one still have room for dessert is $5.

With the help of my waiter, I ordered the Tartare of the Day: Scallop and Meat... plus

What a great place to go!! The food was more than amazing for all of our party of 4. Everyone picked something different and we were all equally very satisfied!
The service was great and the Bring Your Own Wine concept makes it worth the little more expensive dish. I had the Foie gras which was amazing but needed a little more fruit/sweet. The fish and the filet mignon were literally the best... plus

This review comes a little late, as we visited last August-- so almost 6 months ago, but this was possibly one of the best meals I've had for the price in my life.

The server did an incredible job of explaining the specials and was happy to elaborate when we had questions.

I really will have to apologize because since it was so long ago, I can't remember exactly what we had, but I'll do my... plus

If I wanted to be hip I'd probably be all over this place, but it's far too noisy, "look at me" and slow for my taste - the food is great, the service is poor to plain bad, the prices are high.

Simply amazing. Every dish was delicious from the seared Marlin and duck tartare to the aged filet and veal chop. The service is superb. Given all that plus BYOB (wine) it can be the best value for a very good meal

Fantastic is an understatement. 5 stars is too little. The service was great, the food was phenmomal. From the bread and butter to the soup to the dessert. Every bite it better than the last one. Their cold melon soup was so flavorful. The main course changes every time you go but it seems like the quality never changes. I look forward to going back! The creme brûlée is a must have!!!

eat pray love

:Plateau:

Really, really good food is a spiritual thing. Truly. So be prepared to be blessed.

One week today I had a holy-er-than-thou meal at the hidden le Quartier général. I say hidden because it's off the beaten path, as it were.

There are two things you need to know before we continue. The first is APPORTEZ VOTRE VIN. And in Montreal that means no fee-no fuss. Second,... plus

Food was good (I had the steak topped with cheese), but errors were made, the entrees were forgotten, people who came after us got their food before us, and the wait was very, very long for the main dish. At least they tried to make up by offering the entrees and the desserts on the house, but the experience was not enjoyable.

This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in all of Montréal. I made my reservation almost a month in advance and was greeted warmly at the door by Benjamin, the awesome host that night. For starters, we had the yellowfin tuna tataki which was mouthwatering and amazing. My dinner partner had the foie gras which he said was the best he has ever had and I had what was easily the world's... plus

Yummm! Very quebecois-French food.

bring your own bottle of wine (no corkage fee)

"""Young, hip, very noisy resto serving upscale bistro-like food very well prepared. Fun place if you can take the noise. BYOB."""

great value byob always fun & noisy

Best bring-yr.-own-wine restaurant in the city. Sophisticated food served with casual elegance.

Highly recommend - might even be my new favourite restaurant in town. Surpassed expectations for the price range, with a reasonably priced table d'hote for an extra $12. Tataki/blue marline appetizer was declicious, as was the main course (veal with fois gras - one of the best meals I have had in Montreal). Crab cake appetizer was still very good, but not on par with the rest of the meal. Maybe... plus

Wow. Very impressed. There's a reason I had to call 5 times before I got a seat. Byow... But the food is good. This isn't for the l'academie crowd.
