We luck out every time we visit, they seem to have the table by the front window.
We really appreciate the way we are served, it's always the same waiter who has a great sense of humor.
All the dishes we've had have been great.
Decor hasn't changed in a lonnnng time but hey it's got it's own unique appeal.

Good restaurant. Cozy (low profile) ambience. I'm little disappointed with the dessert though: I know the meaning of "brûlée" but it shouldn't taste like burn. I also think that they charge more expensive than they offer. It was a nice experience... But I don't think I'll return.

I went there for a quiet tete-a-tete and I got what I expected.
It's a straight to the point bistro although I would love it if they changed a few of the little elements of the decor (you'll now what I mean).
Food is ok. Service is fine.
Not the best place out there but an easy pick when you don't know where to go and want to get something nice and french.

My friend recommended this restaurant since she thought it was good...I am a little surprised at that. My boyfriend and I ordered escargot, steak and chicken. Everytime I tried to pick up an escargot, I ended up getting mushroom...it was also in some sort of beef brisket sauce...so the taste of the escargot was beef-y. My steak, I ordered medium...it looked a bit more cooked than I wanted..and... more

This restaurant is always empty and now I understand why.... It's byow and the food is really good from the tartare, to the bavette and l'agneau. But for the service that's a different story, you really feel in France. My friend wasn't hungry so she wanted to take her tartare to go but it was not possible compared to many other places. When asked to see the chef we were denied several times,... more

Just ok. Bring your own bottle. Service is good though

The waiter we got was drunk for one thing. For the other he treated my group of people terribly. He saw us as mouth breathing Americans and even told me,"Sorry we don't have any burgers or hot dogs!" We left shortly afterwards. I would not recommend this place for anyone.

I found this place because it was tied to one of the airline dining programs. One has to find street parking, pay for enough time in that spot, head in to the restaurant, and "do lunch" expediently.

It is a typical French bistro with a good combination of food and service. It was fairly full and it looked like most of the people were locals, hence it's a place that has withstood the test of... more

Food Excellent

A ok. A bistro offering French cuisine. The beef tartare is solidly good but a little too expensive for what it is.

Overall Excellent

Overall Very good

This was the first place that I ever had duck confit.  And it was delicious! Different but delicious!I also had the fish soup which was very good and hit the spot on the very chilly Montreal day that I went.

We were at the Le Paris on Saturday night for the exclusive beef bourguignon. All the food that we ate were really good. For appetizer we had the egg mayonnaise  and the rabbit pattie. Both were really good. Then we had the beef bourguignon for the main course and then we ended the night with the Ile flottante. We also tried the pudding du Paris which hit the spot and really made the evening... more

I'm always looking for a French Bistro that will blow me away and lo and behold there's one just on Ste-Catherine's street. Sadly, didn't blow me away.This restaurant in its younger says may have passed as a Bistro from Paris teleported to Montreal but the decor has aged badly and looks like duct-tape holds it together, it's in tatters, it's patchy and is in great need of renovations. I could... more

As tourists from Illinois our large group of 10 people wasn't sure we could find a restaurant with Montreal flavor, a reasonable price, good food, and able to accommodate our large group. Happily we gave Le Paris a try based on good reviews and we were soooo happy we did. We were made to feel at home immediately and that warmth lasted through the evening. The food was delicious, was served to... more

Just returned from a trip to Montreal and this restaurant was the place we went for the quintessential French meal. First let me say that the food was great!!

With that said, the dining experience was one of discomfort and frustration. We arrived when the dining room was almost empty and we seemed off to a pretty good start. Though we did note that the room was a little stuffy. By the time we... more

I don't live in Montreal, but had recently visited for a week.  Before I had lived in France for a year, and have had French food all over France, and also here back home in San Francisco.  I have to say Le Paris was my quintessential French culinary experience in Montreal.Le Paris represents what Montreal is all about for me --- France without the pretentiousness.  I say that for several... more

It's simple classic french cuisine that is technically well executed: I recently had the canard confit there, and it was evenly cooked and seasoned. Very tasty. The boeuf bourguignon my wife picked was flawless as well: tender and all flavorful. A good choice on a day you are seeking for a simple but well done french classic food item.

Restaurant Le Paris is a small bistro that's conveniently located on Rue Catherine ouest.  HOWEVER, it's not well known.I discovered the bistro after asking my hotel's concierge back in 2007.  My friends and I went after skiing in Tremblant.  We enjoyed really good kidneys and the chef was kind enough to let us try some cow brains.  I've also had the cow brains at Per Se in NYC.  I'm done with... more

Probably one of the better dining experiences I've had in my life. I'm not an expert on french cuisine nor have I dined extensively in montreal or anything like that but if you're in town, check this place out, trust me!This is basically a real casual bistro in Montreal, filled with older French Canadians, a lot of retired people, or a generally 40yr + crowed. It feels like the decor hasn't... more
