I was very disappointed by this restaurant. My fish, although tasty, was very difficult to cut and had an odd texture. The choux of the paris-brest was extremely dry and tasted like it was made yesterday.. Will not go back.

Great place to come for good food. Stayed at the Hyatt and was lucky enough to find this place so close. The waiter was professional but not overly friendly (so French :-)!), which is fine by me. He knew his menu well and was able to accommodate my vegetarian diet. I would definitely go here again when in Montreal.

Surprised by some of the bad reviews of this place. We drove from Nyc and came for late lunch (1:45) place wasn't full. Server was very friendly and we ordered beef & salmon tartares (the appetizer portions were large enough to share between 2 of us). Sea snails were great. Not too overpowering and great with the bread. I love the mushroom and boiled egg (slightly salty but tasty). Nice and... plus

Two words - BEEF TARTAR! This is one of the best ones I ever had. Be aware that they don't serve it between 2pm and 5 pm due to high evening demand. Great service, great food, beer and wines. Highly recommended.

Interesting building, cool location. Actually right down the block from a nice little brewpub, Benelux, which is a good pre-meal spot and 5 minute walk.

My wife started with the escargot and garlic butter, which was very good and had 8-10 snails. I had the gazpacho, which was not the best I've had but still good.

We were unsure of what to order, since the selections all seemed delicious but... plus

It was a good place to eat dinner. Enjoyed the Hahaha festival while enjoying dinner. I had the flank steak and I was good.

Did not disappoint. Good service. Seated quickly. Excellent selections of French wines, even some by the glass and the carafe. First course--terrine de fois gras was delicious. Texture of baguette was not as crisp in the crust as we like, but the flavor was outstanding. Saucisse de Montreal was flavorful, and had a natural taste. Coquille St. Jacques was rich and delicous. Paris Brest for... plus

Great location, right next to the Place des arts. My friend and I stopped there for a drink and also grabbed a quick bite. The hamburger was great, made will real beef (not a processed patty) and I was even able to getting it cooked the way I want (medium baby!). Atmosphere is not the best, but the service was nice and food ok.

A tad overrated. Don't get me wrong - food was great, service was friendly and by all measures on point. Portions were a bit small, and nothing was particularly outstanding...

We ordered the seafood tower to share ($80) which was tasty but aforementioned was a bit too pricey for what we got. My main was the sausage on quinoa - again, tasty but nothing phenomenal to warrant $19 dollars.
Tasty.... plus

Found this by chance the first time I was in Montreal. Great wines and very good food. Tiny space. But they do an amazing job. Great charcuterie.

We had a romantic weekend in Montrèal and this was our choice for an afternoon lunch. My wife had the excellent steak tartare salad along with some oysters. I had a cauliflower soup. The wine, food and atmosphere where perfect.

The steak was modestly priced but wasn't exceptional. Not bad to go to prior to a show but don't expect toque. It's a brasserie that shares the owner that's about it.

Had a good lunch. Montreal pork and duck sausage and a quinoa. Was excellent. Cool menu. Friendly service. Very cool setting.

Being on a budget Normand Laprise's flagship Toque is way outside my price range so I was excited when he opened up a more affordable restaurant. Located in the Quartier des Spectacles this chic restaurant is an ideal place to visit if you're catching a show at Place des Arts. It is small so a reservation is a good idea and an absolute must if something is going on at Place des Arts.

They have... plus

Despite decent food, a horrible experience

To celebrate our first night in Montreal, we took the hotel's recommendation for this restaurant and were very disappointed. It has a lovely location and the food was fine but the service was terrible. We rec'd our drinks and a very small appetizer of fried cheese. Then we waited and finally got our dinner. We waited 40 minutes once we... plus

Best dinner/show combination

If you have a show at Place des Arts, Brasserie T is the place to go; you'll pay only one parking and it's so close that you'll be there in 5 minutes ! Better reserve, it's often booked during festival time. The place is noisy but sympathetic !
Great service and good wine !

I live in New York and was visiting Montreal last week and read a lot of reviews to try out this place on trip advisor and to say I was pleased is definitely an understatement. This place is amazing from its location near the Place des Arts and being on St. Catherine. We ordered the egg and mushroom dish for an appetizer which was delicious it was kind of like a poached egg on top of potatoes... plus

Nice place to sit and watch the Jazz Festival

We stopped off here on Sunday afternoon to take in the Montreal Jazz Festival. It is a nice place to people watch and enjoy the music. We had the white sangria it was Amazing. We had a snack as well and it was very good but I can't remember what it was called. The food looked very appetizing.
Service was... plus

The food was pretty good, but the experience was mostly ruined by the abysmal service (I should have trusted the many reviews that repeatedly complained about the service!)

We were met by the smileless maitre'd. We asked the waiter for some advice, but he mostly read the menu aloud (we could do this ourselves, thank you very much). I ordered a cocktail, and some foreign body was floating in... plus

Not worth the hype. Food was below expectations

I had heard good things about Toqué and wanted to try Brasserie T! during the comedy festival because of its ideal location. We were happy with the venue and service, but the food lacked originality and balance.
Given how difficult it is to get a reservation here, we had to take a 5:30pm slot, and it was definitely not worth... plus

Fun with great food

Had dinner with my 8 year old. Very fun, bright room. Service was very friendly, casual but attentive. Food was terrific, high-end bistro food. Presentation was not fancy but well done and the quality of the ingredients was excellent. Overall, a fun, delicious meal.

This place is strange, but just in terms of architecture.

They are in the middle of the square, and have a very nice patio, and in doors glass see through walls.

I sat at the bar and the bar tender was very good. The sea snails were very good and their drinks are quite awesome to say the least.

Thumbs Up

Nice spot for an after work diner or late snack, staff is frendly and will serve you in a brasserie style. Food is good & fresh, good wine selection.

Brasserie T holds 3 stars from me for one reason: Location.

Like many others have complained, service is sub-par and oftentimes very cold. No one there seems to be interested in doing their job and they hardly pay attention to you. However, whenever I go, I don't ask for much -- I get a spot on the patio, take a drink or two and order my salmon tartare, and leave with a smile on my face.

I... plus

Great location right at the Place de Arts so it was fantastic to get to the comedy festival. Interesting design, kind of like a little glass box. Great views of the street life and the festival. Very friendly and efficient staff. We started with some New Brunswick oysters, the garlic sea snails and the chicken liver pate. All were very, very good. For the main course I had the beef tartare with... plus

Wow. Service has NEVER been so atrocious... As someone who works in the industry, I can't believe there is so little quality control over the staff this place hires. No smiles, no warm welcomes, no thank yous... Just everything delivered with attitude or indifference. Our server must have forgotten that paying customers are not there to service the staff & that it's actually the other way... plus

Perfect location during jazz fest

Dinner with my husband, whose first concern was whether the portions would be tiny...He ate the Bavette which is basically flank steak but marinated in a whisky sauce and very good. I ate the Walleye - excellent taste, well prepared. Crème brulee was average. They make a very nice Sangria (with Sake in it) but wow its $12 for a... plus

Very disappointing. The service was awful: Our waiter didn't even make the effort to check whether or not I could still get the tartare (even though it was 1:55; he said "If it's 2 pm then it's too late." What kind of attitude is that?) and was unfriendly overall. The burger was ok, but I was extremely put off by the poor service above and beyond everything else. Another one of those... plus

Great place during Jazz Festival

We had a very good meal, seafood platter for four, then my main course was a salmon tartare. Everything was delicious and the waiter was very pleasant. Tables are close together so ask for a terrace table as it can get a wee bit hot inside.

3.5 stars food, 4 stars ambiance. This glass walled restaurant makes people watching (or in our case Francofolie Music Festival watching) a blast. The space is pretty loud. The portions are reasonably sized, the food is very comfort style with a facelift. I had the Saucisse Montreal with quinoa and the garlic sea snails. Both were very tasty and simply prepared. The wine menu had enough by the... plus

Just Average

I had high hopes for this place because of it being tied to the famous 'Toqué' but it turned out to be just an average experience. We went for lunch. I had the Foie Gras to start which was nice, followed by the Guedille aux crevettes with fries which was a little bland and just ok. My husband had the... plus

Small space, teeny ( but delicious) portions, very loud ambience, and A/C that barely worked made for mediocre experience. The service was a spotty at best and frankly just felt that perhaps our table just didn't fit the young, hip demographic they typically serve. So wanted to love the experience but walked, no actually ran, from the place. Disappointed for sure.

Quality urban bistro, at its best

This restaurant, and its big sister Toqué! let the quality and freshness of the food speak. You will not find your meal soaked in spicy sauces that hide everything under. We were made aware of a captain's platter, available as an appetizer for two persons. Hey, why not? It's something that we won't make at home. Good choice. Many different... plus

What a brasserie

First went to this brasserie in December 2013, then on May 30, 2014 and going back on July 3, 2014! Think I liked it! First time I went there, had reservations at a table and was with 2 friends. We all had different meals and had a taste of each. Everything was wonderful, excellent service, but noisy. It was winter... plus

The food was delicious but

This seemed like the perfect place for dinner before a Ginette Reno concert at Place des Arts. Sadly, this was my first and will be my last dining experience at this renowned brasserie. So let me begin by saying that the food was delicious -- including the "signature" dishes that we ordered. So what marred the experience? First the noise... plus

On our first day in Montreal we wandered by Brasserie T! and decided to give it a go. While we didn't have a reservation (it never would have occurred to me to make a reservation for Thursday lunch), we were seated promptly. The service was warm and attentive, and we were well taken care of.

The salmon tartare is fantastic, with lots of ingredients to give you that briney, salty, sweet, spicy... plus

Perfect for business lunch or pre-theater diner

The best tartare in Montreal. Presentation is cool. Staff is professional and friendly at the same time. Good choices of wine. During summer, get a table outdoor, you will love your experience..

So fresh

sometimes it is not what is on the menu, but how it is on the menu. The menu is short, simple, back to basics cuisine but all of what we had was so good. The ribs were tender, the french fries crispy and yet moist inside, the duck rillette had so much flavour, the asparagus with parmesan crunchy and the... plus

Fantastic

So happy got to try this wonderful restaurant. Great location. Everything we ordered looked and tasted fantastic. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in choosing the dishes. We had seared foie gras which was served on a brioche and just melted in the mouth. The white bean salad was very fresh with unique flavors. We tried three different desserts... plus

Great place before a show

I just love this place, I got her about once a month to enjoy the view, the food and the atmosphere
Best place in this area, great service!
I will be back

Wonderful Meal, But

We had dinner at Brasserie T May 18th, 2014. The food was superb! We tried the Bavette Steak and Haricot Coco (vegan) - both were perfect! We also shared very filling and tasty lamb pierogies as apetisers - delicious! Service at the tables was great and efficacious. Contrary to the servers, the hostess seemed overwhelmed and unhappy to be there!... plus

I will leave it to others to give la Brasserie T more than 3 stars. I is a nice place, modern and elegant, and somewhat affordable. But I think it is overhyped and overpriced; for my own taste at least. I can imagine why many people would love it though. This is the place to go for a 100% safe dinner, if you are willing to pay 10-15$ too much for it. You are 100% sure to have a good service,... plus

Major deception

Just got back from a first meal at Brasserie T. My first impression was very positive : what a great setting, right on Place des Festivals, by the fountains. We were greeted by a charming host who made us fell welcomed. The short bistro menu looked good, and the daily special of seafood platter was just irresistible. All that was... plus

So so

Flank steak was tough and staffs response was to cut across the grain. Bowl of lettuce leaves makes for an unimpressive salad. Salmon tartare good but lacking flavor. Nice ambience.

Had dinner here while staying at the Hyatt Regency nearby. Nice friendly place, with a lovely little bar. And they had a really tasty steak frites, cooked perfectly. A little on the expensive side, but very nice.

Always a stop in Montreal

What a lovely little Brasserie. You will definitely need a reservation, they are on Open Table. The small French menu focuses on local, sustainable and organic products which makes for a delightful selection. Vegetarians, there isn't a lot of choice (it IS a French restaurant) but the available choices are flavourful and well thought through. Superb wine selection and great... plus

Is OK, not special, noisy during lunch. Maybe I am too European and expecting better quality / price ratio

Lovely food

We really enjoyed our meal at Brasserie T. The portions were bigger than we thought they might be judging from some other reviews and the food was delicious (we ate the pork ribs and the sausages). Staff were friendly and service was quick. There were a selection of beers available as well as wines etc.
The restaurant is set in... plus

Unique atmosphere; good food

Had dinner on a Saturday night with a friend and was quite surprised by the building structure. It worked well for the restaurant. Had delicious mojitos made up to start and ordered the fried cheese as an appetizer which was like upscale mozzarella sticks. Dinners were foie gras ravioli and flank steak - both were very good. Excellent service -... plus

Nice Dinner in Montreal

We had a great Time.
Liette our server has wonderful and very attentionnate.
We had the Chèvre and potato gratin and Duck rillettes.
Both were very big portion for appetizers and very fresh and tasty
We had the Beef bavette and the Doré du lac and again it melted in our mouths.
It is a bit pricey but well worth... plus

Delicious! Excellent location. I had the flank steak and my friend had the salmon with fennel salad. Both dishes were very good. For an appetizer, we enjoyed the chicken liver mousse. I highly recommend it. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is awesome.

Amazing food

Amazing food and love the view especially in summer. The Tartare is amazing, both the beef and the salmon, oysters are great and the flank steak as well! the cocktails are also very tasty; red wine sangria and bloody mary's are great. It's not a cheap restaurant a bit pricey but its worth it if you go every once in... plus

Good But Seemed To Slip A Bit

We ate at Brasserie T for the second time late last week, and frankly, we were disappointed. The prices were materially higher than they were six months ago, the service had slipped, and the menu had gone from interesting to quirky. I had the flank steak with frites. The steak was small, tough and way overcooked. When you specify medium... plus

I like this place a lot. Their snails are extremely good tasting. And their desserts are good too!

Our waiter was very helpful with suggestions and service was fast. Try the seared foie gras. It was the best thing we had that night. The salmon tartar was also very good.

Tres bon repas, style bistrot parisien. Excellente qualite prix. Decor tres morderne, vraiment sympa. Very good dinner, french bistro style. Great price/quality ratio. Modern decor, cool.

Nicely Presented French Bistro Fare

Good quality french bistro fare.
Well executed food.
Correctly priced, and very well located.
Usually go there while at Jazz Festival.

great basics, not the best atmosphere

Went on a chilling December night. The food was great (duck, hangar steak, escargots- basic french classics), the service was attentive, all was good. Just didn't care for the atmosphere- very bright, a TV on, no real decor. For this kind of food (and price), I prefer a little more atmosphere (like Liverpool house or even Holder).

Don't miss this bistro

Fun, lively, modern restaurant with painstakingly thought out presentation of fabulous food.
Waitstaff is very knowledgeable , helpful and has been thoroughly trained. You almost feel that they are part of the ownership as they really get what is going on with this very small but wonderful restaurant,

Worth it after a play at place des arts

First a recommendation, if you are planning to visit this restaurant (mainly after a play at the theater) you must have a reservation. The place is small and gets full really fast.
The service was really good, the waiter's attention explaining the menu and indicating some of the plates helps. The food (I've order the steak and fries and my... plus

I heard about this place but I wasn't looking for it when I was walking around the area.

Stopped in for a quick snack of sorts, I was going out to dinner later on with some friends but needed something to hold me over. What is better for a quick snack than some oysters and a beer? The oysters were pretty fresh but they were pretty pricey, I wish they had some more beer choices to accompany the... plus

Excellent Food and Wine

Reservations are a must, unless you are willing to wait for a seat at the bar. The menu is somewhat limited, but what is generated from the kitchen is delicious. They have an extensive wine list, including wines by the glass. The staff is very accomodating.

I'm still drooling when I think of my two experiences there! They serve a pretty nice and big portion of tartare (which is in my top 3 favorite tartare in town). And I took an entrée of goat cheese + potato gratin that had a sugary-beet-flavor sauce on it. I just loved it!

The prices are reasonable, and the portions are good: not too big, not too small, just a perfect size to savor it!

My... plus

Went here on the suggestion of my cousin that lives in Montreal. Was unable to get a reservation online, but was able to secure a spot at the bar by stopping in at lunchtime to ask if there were any openings that evening. Tip: there were many open tables in the restaurant that evening. Don't rely on the Open Table saying that they're booked as I believe many people had multiple reservations and... plus

great tartar

There was very good service! I had a good beaf tartar and nice fruit tarta on desert. I recomend it for light meal with friends.

It was good, not great

Went to this restaurant during the Mtl a Table and during our three week visit to Montreal. As another reviewer mentions, the 3-course meal was a bit disappointing, except the soup, which was exceptional, in my opinion. I'm not sure the container style location does anyone any favors, it was very noisy and cramped, the waiters struggling to get past... plus

Rather you spend a bit more to try Toque

I went to Brasserie T! during the Mtl à Table. Overall, I think the 3-course meal offered was a bit disappointing. The dessert was literally...brownies and a scoop of ice cream, it's almost like I can make this at home myself.
I went to Toque! last year and I still remember how good it was! I'd recommend you to spend... plus

Overrated. Overpriced. Terrible service

This restaurant was referred to us by friends. We were so disappointed from the moment we entered the place. The service: The waiters (plural because we had 6 different waiters throughout the night) were in a hurry to get our order. We really felt like they were trying to get rid of us in an hour. We got there at... plus

Better than expected

Living on the shadow of big brother/sister isn't easy but this restaurant pulls it off. The food is very good and at a great price point.

Overpriced

We had lunch Brasserie T! on a summer-like day in Montreal in October. The outdoor tables on Rue Jeanne-Mance had a Paris-like feeling. The food was overpriced and average at best and the portions were on the small side. The squash soup was bland. The side salad was just lettuce, although with a decent dressing. The apple-cranberry tart was the... plus

As other people mentioned in their review, the location of Brasserie T is perfectly located right in the middle of the Quartier des spectacles. During summer, the terrace is the best spot to eat if you want to catch a concert or before attending a show at la Place des Arts. The decor is also really nice and the place is usually packed so there is a great ambiance. The staff is always really... plus

Snacks and wine

This was a great place to stop for middle afternoon wine and bruschetta. Outdoor seating right on St. Paul Street. Inside looked very quaint but it was too lovely outside to eat inside.

Not bad, but there are better out there

Went with a group, I enjoyed my food but the service was on and off. Others at my table had mixed results with their food. It's a fun area and an interesting building being plopped right in the middle of the sidewalk essentially. Popping in before a show for a drink and appetizer or maybe drink and dessert after an... plus

Tasty food, modern unique setting, friendly staff

I found the restaurant on Open table and chose it because it was right across from my hotel. I had the flank steak which was quite good. The restaurant has a vibrant vibe and the staff were welcoming, warm and helpful.

The building is very cool architecturally speaking, resembling an ultra modern train car made mostly of glass. Once inside you'll appreciate the modern décor and well designed space, with a hidden underground kitchen (not to worry, the bar is on the surface level).

I started with a side salad that was surprising comprised of simply leafy greens and dressing. Fortunately the dressing was quite... plus

Delicious and Innovative in a Unique Setting

Brasserie T! is situated on a busy street corner, and literally, this restaurant is on the corner. It appears to be housed in the fanciest of modular buildings, but it is in fact a fixed location and thank goodness because this place should not go anywhere else.
The menu is brief, but all the offerings appear to be carefully paired... plus

Not for me

If you enjoy being very close together in a very loud place, then T is for you. I prefer a quieter place. It was so loud that my spouse and I could not hear each other. Even with a reservation, we had to wait. We do not drink. We were not treated well. Our food was okay. Prices are high... plus

Eclectic Experience

Situated in a rectangular long structure across from the museum fountains made this very unique. Lots of glass, you can look out at the colored fountains and see the window art change on the museum at night.
The food was very tasty. We had the melted cheese, and the flank steak. Don't expect a lot of food. The steak was... plus

You will need a reservation, and this is not your normal French restaurant

This building looks like a glass train, long and narrow. If you have not been here, you probably will have trouble finding it. I have no idea where any parking is nearby. But if you can find it, and get here, it is very good. The lamb shoulder with vegetables was one of the best lamb dishes I have had.... plus

Great meal near the arts

Food was excellent and service was polite and timely. Great spot before a nearby concert. House white wine was excellent Portuguese variety.

Superb brasserie experience

After a symphony concert we usually go to F bar, Brasserie T!'s neighbour of similar long-and-narrow design on Jeanne-Mance. However, last Saturday night F bar's kitchen was closed when we arrived around 10:30, so we went next door to try T!. We managed to get a nice window table for two as walk-ins, but the place was nearly packed, so... plus

Is this one of the best meals you've ever had in a restaurant? - YES

My wife and I visited this place in August 2013. My wife's choice, based on reviews from Internet turned out to be right indeed.
Food was excellent! We've got Bourgots à l’ail, Saumon à l’aneth + salade de fenouil, Guédille aux crevettes + frites. Salmon was terrific!! My English is very poor to describe it... It was super gentle, sweet... plus

Good. Has galvanized my decision to go to the big brother

Very competent. I'm not 100% how they run things, but if this is a proving ground for chefs for the real restaurant Toqué, then I'm going.
To be fair, I was going anyway. But this place, if you're in the area, is better than the restaurants around it.

Two thumbs up

We chose Brasserie T! based on a listing in Frommer's travel guide of Montreal; listed as "moderately priced" the brasserie stood out to us mainly because of its association with Laprise's better known (more expensive) Toque!
From start to finish with was a positive dining experience! As American tourists who don't speak a lick of French it's easy to feel... plus

Some good and some bad which ends up average

The waiter was helpful in recommending a good wine and service was done with a smile. Otherwise she said the lunch table dhote somquickly that ive missed part of it, but decided to stick with the ribs. About the ribs, dont expect a full rack, its only half a portion with tiny dry fries in a paper cone. The ribs... plus

Way too hot and food ok

We met there on a recommendation of our hotel and were quite disappointed. Isn't is hot in Montreal for many months? It was like a sauna inside and VERY uncomfortable. The food was average. Wouldn't go back.

Absolutely horrible. I took one bite of steak and then proceeded to spend the next 15 minutes chewing it. Flank steak can be succulent and tender if cooked properly. After sending it back sans one bite and telling my waiter that I didn't care for it, I was still charged for it. Class act, Brasserie t!

Skip the main courses and stick with the seared foie gras. We had it as an entree, raved, and then our main courses were a let down in comparison. Back to the seared foie gras for dessert!

The service was a bit reserved. Not rude, but not warm. Still, have I mentioned the seared foie gras is worth the trip?

Looks like a makeshift trailer in the middle of the arts center.

The sauteed liver as well as the escargot was the best evaaaar.

The bartender was cool as s@!t.

Its kinda pretentious....every chick in dreesses and blinged-the-F-out.

The hostesses were bisshes that day.

This place is always packed in the summer. Super location right on the Place des festivals. Bright ambiance with super good service. Being the little Toqué! food is excellent. Try the poèlée de champignons for a very soothing appetizer. It's mind blowing. It's certainely not cheap, but if you can get in, it's worth a try. Good selection of wines by the glass. Interesting that the prices for a... plus

Exceptional service. Amazingly creative cuisine artfully presented. Fabulous adventure for our group of 9 Fundraising Conference attendees.

Like the food, the service and the ambiance! Very crowded so make a reservation to get a place. I take the fish and chip, it was good but a little bit greasy than usual. I recommend the Paris Brest dessert.

The place is very nice, but looking the rating on Zagat, we where expecting better food.
Montreal sausage, was with very hard small pieces of bones or tendon inside.
Salmon tartar, was little sandy/mud test.
Entree and Dessert were good but no exceptional.
We where in Montreal just for a few days and maybe this Zagat rating is taking the average of the area???

The food were expansive and we knew we were paying for the view and location. Our waitress knew we couldn't speak French and she got us a "simplified" English menus. I wish they have a better English menus. We ordered sea snails which were pretty good. Foie gras was very generous and they gave us a lot of bread. The salad was ok. I asked the waitress to explain the foods and she wasn't able to... plus

We spent a lot of time researching places to eat on Montreal while on vacation and ate at some great places. On our last night, we found Brasserie t and just loved it. The staff was very helpful with food allergies. More importantly the food was the best we had the hole trip. If you are going to Montreal, see Michel de Broin's exposition and follow it up with dinner at Brasserie t.

We made a point of making a reservation in hopes of getting a table on the terrasse which we were promised on arrival but the manager decided to keep us at the bar and let walk in couples take the spots outside. Disappointing treatment, ruined our experience. Our server was excellent but the management had poor communication skills. The staff was appropriately apologetic.

The location is great (being in the centre of Places des Arts), and the decor is great. They have really good cocktails but the food is just below average. Go there for the drinks and the ambience, not for the food.

I have been past this place before on previous visits to Montreal I had no idea that this was a full restaurant until it was recommended by a friend. Wanting a decent meal for my last supper in la belle province, we made reservations for two. Although the restaurant looks tiny from the outside, while seated it didn't feel claustrophobic. I scanned the wine menu and decided on a decent Italian... plus

A very cool location in the heart of the entertainment district of Montreal. The food is great as is the service. Nothing off the wall, just great food in a very cool building.

Brasserie T! has an ideal location for the theater and museum. My wife and I came here before seeing the play Wicked. The food was excellent. Her Salmon was the best she had ever had. The beef tartar was also excellent. Apparently a “medium” done flank steak has neither red nor pink in the center which was very disappointing to see overcooked but luckily it wasn’t too tough. The building... plus

Disgusting ....
Dirty ...
Never again.

Foodie boyfriend brought me here on the suggestion of Anthony Bourdain (ha!). Great drink menu and charcuterie selections. Bizarre service, sometimes too attentive and sometimes missing- our server switched halfway through the meal with no introduction.

Like this place for a casual lunch. Normally take the steak tartare or the salmon tartare. The accompanying fries are usually good, but on a couple of occasions the fries weren't as good. Think they needed to change the oil.... plus

Ignore the Unfriendly service and enjoy well prepared food.

Great location! Food is good, but falls shy of making it a destination just for the food. The service is comparable. Crowded - make a reservation! Great setting with good food and service that are "good enough" to be saved by the setting. VERY convenient to many evening entertainments and GREAT for watching the BEAUTIFUL people. I recommend the Coquilles St. Jacques.

We were fortunate enough to get two seats outside on the terrace. The food was spot-on! Their charcuterie is amazing, as I sampled the rillettes au canard (duck). I opted for the coquille st-jacques which was delicious! Definitely worth a try if you're in town for the Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs fest, etc. Great location for people-watching as well!

Good food, original drinks. Perfect location. I was expecting a little more for the price considering it's the Toqué!'s little sister restaurant.

"""Found it by accident...I wish accidents like this happened more often! AWESOME restaurant! Great food, great drinks, great service - Great value!"""

"""What a brasserie is all about. Lovely bistro food served in a stellar location, perfect for people watching. A little taste of Normand Laprise's talent without breaking the bank."""

"""Normand Laprise proves he can do casual dining in a limited space. Short menu featuring reliable offerings. One of the best burgers in the city, despite breaking every rule for making a burger."""

Really goo alternative to Toque if you don't want to blow the budget. Terrific seared foie gras and amazing steak frites.

"""Beautiful glass house structure, tiny restaurant. Well dressed waiters (a revolving set of checkered shirts). Elegant yet completely iunpretentious French influenced food. Amazing tartare, great drinks. Very modern."""

A very good french brasserie in he hearth of le quartier des spectacles.

"""Hit or miss...Surprisingly, one of the most tasty items on the menu is the burger! Coquille St-Jacques was somewhat underwhelming."""

Great food that stands up to the reputation of the mother house (Toqu

nothing special
