Le Margaux

A really good French restaurant. The service is very good and the prices are fair for the food. We had a large group and they could accommodate easily.

A very pleasant experience, yet again, at Le Margaux. COVID-19 protocols followed according to the current public policies. Our party of three was seated at three joined tables that would normally have sat many more. The food was on point, even if the service was just a bit off kilter, no doubt due to the current health and safety restrictions. The escargots, done three ways, was as delicious as ever, as were my sweetbreads. My guests were both happy with their veal and duck dishes as well as the foie gras. An ice bucket wss provided to keep our rosé wine chilled, and fresh stemware provided when we switched to a pinot noir. Food presentation was quite inventive, and the restaurant's ambience was warm with a subdued and casual elegance. I've never had a dish here that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. I already look forward to my next visit.

A really romantic and sweet place. Love the lighting here. Looks so warm from outside in the winter. Great food and you can bring your own wine. Desserts are awesome too. Perfect for dates or several friends getting together. Service is great too. I would totally go back.

Great meal, without any pretension. Service was very good, although the wait for the main course was a tad long. Not long enough to dock a star, though. The goat cheese with brie on yellow beets was very enjoyable, and the chorizo encrusted cod is now my favourite dish. Nice room, but can get a bit noisy. Would definitely repeat!

Been there with a big group, and suddenly the power went out. Despite not having electricity to run lights and their range hood, the staff continued to serve a fully reserved and candle lit restaurant. They had to adapt a the menu on the spot to cope with the situation. These guys are pros. They'll continue to prepare delicious food and keep giving the best service, even during the apocalypse.

Service was impeccable. Very French feel to the whole place, including the service staff. Decor seems a bit meant for a cafe than a restaurant, but it works well for them. No wine menu since it's A BYOB. I was hoping they would have a few selections. Although, there is a SAQ near by (just remember that SAQ closes early). Slightly small and crowded with tables. Food is divine: An amalgam of flavors that I did not expect. Quite delicious!

This is an EXCELLENT choice for French food in Montreal. If you are familiar with French fare and service and you want to go to a good, traditional BYOW this is definitely it! I typically don’t enjoy the French experience but this one changed my mind. The food here is traditional but also really inspired and exciting. The service lacks I'm sorry to say. I thought it was fine but by typical North American standards of service - it is pretty bad lol. Everything was timed and no mistakes were made but there was also no smiling, no pleasantries and no value added. It's strictly operational. I highly recommend the foie gras to start (not cooked). It wasn't on the menu at the time but ask for it. It's the BEST foie I have ever had. The escargot cooked 3 ways is a popular dish (prepare to be amazed) and the rack of lamb which was tender and perfectly cooked. I would go back any day!

Excellent food, minimalist decoration and friendly customer service. It has a certain French atmosphere (except for the wait staff who are courteous and friendly). The chef and some of the staff are French (i.e. from France). Make reservations because on weekends the place is packed

I don't get why this place doesn't have more reviews. We had such a nice evening at this restaurant. The service, the food...everything was amazing! We all ordered the table d'hôte for 49$. Money very well spent if you as me. The food was cooked to perfection! There was a minor hiccup: Cher gave me someone else's lamb chops. I asked for medium rare and it came well done. Told our waiter and without hesitation, he apologize, took my plate and came back within minutes with the right order PLUS the well done lamb chops that I could do whatever I wanted with it! I mean... this is a detail that is very appreciated. You gotta try escargot appetizer. So delicious! This place is small and loud. BUT in a good way! We had a great dinner with our friends. Definitely a BYOB gem. We will be returning even if it's such a hassle drive around and to find parking in the Plateau lol!

I went here for one of my best friend's birthday. We were a group of 15 so there was a group menu and it cost $45 per person. For the entree I had the apple stuffed with snails and Calvados, which is an apple brandy from the Normandy region in France. It tastes a lot better than it sounds lol. The waiter recommended it so I wanted to try it and I'm glad I did, My boyfriend had the crab cake with mayo. I preferred the apple stuffed snails. For main I had the flank steak. My boyfriend had the confit de canard with mashed potato. Both mains were very good. If I had to pick one over the other I would have to say that the duck was better. We had duck confit on saturday and my boyfriend said the one at Margaux is better. Both dishes came with a spoon of creme brulee. For dessert we had the verrine with chocolate hazelnut. This is a great french BYOB. I definitely recommend it and I would come back! Make sure you bring wine because the closest SAQ is a ten min walk. :)

This is a great little French bring-your-own-wine bistro. I was there with friends for lunch and we were all impressed with the choice of menu, the polite and friendly service and the delicious food. The table settings are elegant. The decor is modern and minimalist. Everything seems to be at the right place despite the relatively small space. I noticed hooks in the entrance as well as hooks at the back to hang up coats and jackets. The only thing that bothered us was the noise level. All the patrons were in lively conversation. All the tables were occupied. So it's a busy place. If you want to eat here, you will have to reserve fairly early because this place is quite popular. Enjoy this bistro situated in a really interesting neighbourhood of Montreal.

First of all the welcome was warm and the space modern and comfortable. We went for lunch and the table d'hôte was excellent including a starter, main and dessert. I would say the menu was typical bistro fare with a delightful modern twist. The cervelle were excellent as was my confit. I will be back soon.

By almost all criteria this is an excellent restaurant. The food is spectacular, with lots of original dishes, the ambiance is very nice, and the servers are all friendly. They humoured our not-perfect French all evening. But there was one thing that drove my wife and me crazy. All of the dishes and specials are on the printed menu or the ardoise. Yet the servers twice went over the offerings with us dish-by-dish. And then when they serve the dish they feel they have to explain every detail. It's more than a little insulting. We can read and if we have questions we can ask. Why should we have to listen to hear about what we already know. We were disappointed to find this American style intrusive service in Montréal.

Amazing experience. 3 way escargot. Deer steak with 2 way foie Gras. Lavender creme Brule and chocolate mousse 3 ways. Great service.

The dinner set meals are delicious and well within our budget. While it sure is easy to blow expense account on dining in Montreal, I find Le Margaux, along wiht many other more local establishments, offering a more relaxed and authentic experience. Parking can be a pain though, as it's immensely popular in the night.
