We stayed in the Hotel this restaurant occupies. Both are wonderful.

Even though the restaurant pricing is considered $$$, my boyfriend and i ate here for like $30 total. They featured a fantastic soup of the day which wa cream of carrot topped with some kind of fried potato bits and creme fraiche. Delicious, and a huge serving. I was basically full from this alone. Then we added some grilled... plus

last weekend my mom and i went to montreal. though it was a short trip, it was a lot of fun. our saturday had been a day of HOURS at the open air market, a picnic in the botanical gardens, and a major bike ride back to our hotel. it was longer than i had expected, and left me sweaty, frustrated with bicycles, and incredibly hungry. i knew almost immediately what i was craving: steak frites.

On a recent lazy Sunday afternoon, I stopped in at Narcisse for a drink on their rooftop terrace (5th floor of the auberge).

The Good: Great view of the Old Port!

The So-So: Considering they're a wine bar, I was hoping for a bit more from their wine list, in terms of the available selection (fairly small) and the originality of said selection.

The Bad: A loud air conditioning unit detracted... plus

Our fourth date night in 12 months! I just realized that three of our four date nights have been work related ... oh well ... doesn't make the date nights any less fun :)

So, we were limited to what we could order but this is what I had:

Some sort of rabbit pate with beets, greens, and bread crisps. The pate itself was okay ... a little too fatty though. The beets were quite good since the... plus

Great friendly staff. My wife and I stayed at the hotel upstairs, so we had breakfast here everyday, dinner in the restaurant one night, and room service the next (no extra charge). I loved all the food, and the service was outstanding.

I don't think I've noticed that anyone has mentioned the Auberge Terrace located on the roof of this restaurant/hotel.  Fantastic view of Old Montreal and the river.  Great spot for drinks and a lighter bite to eat.  Much more casual than the street level Narcisse Bistro. (seasonal opening, of course)

WORST SERVICE EVER!!!  Had to wait to be acknowledged by the hostess who was busy chatting away at the bar in the back, completely ignorant of the entrance and the people who started to accumulate behind us.  Finally, when we asked for a table for 2, with completely empty tables in full view, the hostess rudely and nastily replied, "Nope, we're full."  The party of 4 standing next to us... plus

Gorgeous looking room plus outdoor seating with a pleasant view. But it was downhill from there. Service was close to non-existent (we came near closing time so there's some flexibility there). And the food was pretty bland. Nothing creative or particularly seasoned for that matter. Next time, "just wine."

What could be betterthan a bottle of wine withfriends on the terrasse?

It honestly took me a while to track down this place as I didn't remember the name but I definitely recognized that escargot. Montreal, in general, was an experience to remember. This place just topped it off. My boyfriend and I chose it as our "big spender" meal of the weekend. To be honest, I do not remember the price but I know we spent more than 100$ on dinner for just the two of us. Please... plus

Great place. Best onion soup and entrecôte I've ever had!! Hope to stay at the auberge next time.

I stayed at the hotel, L'Auberge du Vieux Port, and though I typically don't eat where I am staying, it was dead of Winter, rainy, and most everything in the Old Quarter was closed.  As it happens, I was there on business on a Thursday, and when  I saw they had live jazz that didn't require me to walk through sleet to see I was hooked.They offered a nice selection of complimentary cheeses and... plus

Went last week during the Happening Gourmand.  From the fixed menu I chose the Garlic Escargot, Angus beef bavette, and Crème brûlée.  Given Narcisse was the least expensive of the Happening Gourmand restaurants I was pleasantly satisfied with the meal.   In fact out of the 3 HG restaurants we tried Narcisse was my favorite.  The standouts for me were -The escargots  - nice twist on traditional... plus

disappointed

We reserved a table for Friday night at 20h30. We were running a little late, so we called, and they told us the kitchen would close at 21h30, which seems pretty early for Montreal on a Friday. When we arrived, we could see why. The place was very quiet and nearly empty. The waiter was pleasant, but the food didn't cut it. The citrus sauce on my shrimp was too strong and sweet. The rice seemed... plus

we went on a thurs night, without reservation (was asked if we had one though), but were seated immediately (but you may want to make rsvn on busy nights/weekends). service was attentive and professional. waiter is friendly, polite, and knowledgeable: he recommended wines to go with our food, and they were great--although my bf liked my heavier-bodied "morgan v" from france (forgot what the... plus

had a great time

went on a thurs night, without reservation, seated immediately. attentive and professional service; waiter recommended wines to go with our food, which were great. food was excellent, from appetizers to desserts. romantic ambiance (yet they took us in casual wear and flip flops, so tourists don't be deterred :D); live jazz thurs to sat @ dinner time. check out their website for more info. had... plus

A huge dissapointment

What for do they have the wine list? None that we asked in stock. A waiter served us had no idea what he's talking about. At last but not least,,,,, "Thank you for tonight, now i know what is the d!mn sh!@ty service"

This place was recommended by our concierge.I was looking for some Quebecois cheese and she said this was an excellent choice.We dined al fresco and I was really looking forward to this meal, however, I left wanting more.I ordered the cheese plate and although it was fantastic, the waitress wasn't able to tell me the names of any of the cheese.She just mumbled something and walked away.My... plus

If you are looking for a somewhat upscale dining experience with a great atmosphere, this is the place.We were bored of eating in the Gay Village and decided to explore the old Montreal neighborhood. After an afternoon of walking around and enjoying the sights, we decided to eat. I wanted to go to this place called Les Remparts and realized that it is an upscale place with a strict dress code.... plus

A very nice room, with fine service, but the food is hit-or-miss. The menu offered "braised short ribs" but what came out was a less than half rack of baby back ribs. The peppery sauce was good, though.

Pleasant staff and nice room. The food is good, but not special. It's a nice place to have a low key meal, more for the locale and setting than for the food. The food quality was variable with some good dishes and others less special. Quail served with a reduced sauce was good; the salad Nicoise with canned tuna was pedestrian.

I came to this restaurant twice and I had mixed experiences. But overall the restaurant is superb. We ordered from a la carte both times. The service was wonderful and sincere. The brioche during our first visit was SO good that it became one of our reasons why we paid a second visit but they didnt have it that time . Anyway I cant tell exactly what was wrong with the second attempt Yes not as... plus

Shockingly disappointing service for a restaurant of this supposed caliber. Having advertised themselves as being an award winning "creme de la creme" in french cusine, I was not prepared for the extremely poor service and blatant unprofessionalism of the waiters.

Based on tapas menu served at lunchtime. Some things were very plain while other were exceptional. Great sidewalk cafe near the water.

(rooftop terrace) - A wonderful view of the international fireworks display and the St. Laurence harbor could be the only pull to this rooftop terrace. During a fireworks display, expect a pricey five course meal with no menu options and courses with food for diners with a more experienced and experimental tongue. Service, although more than acceptable, is highly compromised by poor logistics... plus
