Les Enfants Terribles — Outremont

We had a nice lunch on the terrace on a lovely day. The street is blocked off for pedestrians for the summer so no traffic and lots more tables out. We had the green gazpacho which was ok…fresh for a summer day. Then we had salmon tartar which was in a pool of oil. The salmon tasted good but for me, I would ask next time to skip the oil. The fries were very good. The waitress was very nice.

We came for the first to have dinner. Service was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and polite. Cheers to Hugo! Food was very good too. My only issue is that I find it a little bit overpriced as for the quantity of the product.

I have eaten here four times in the past year. Service is always excellent and every menu item I have tried has been good including burgers and calamari. The best of all was the salmon curry.

I recently visited Les Enfants Terribles in Outremont for a casual gathering with some coworkers. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for a laid-back happy hour or a casual dinner. The vibe was relaxed, and it was clear the place was geared toward creating a comfortable setting for groups—ideal for our party of 20. Ambiance: The vibe was exactly what we needed for a happy hour with coworkers: cozy, welcoming, and not too loud. The Maitre d' was a standout, very friendly and accommodating despite our large group. Unfortunately, the positive service experience didn’t extend to the waitstaff. Service: Our server seemed disengaged and a bit dismissive throughout the evening. It became a bit of a running joke at our table when we had to remind him about our drinks, and to make matters worse, the glass of Cava I received was warm—something I’ve never encountered at a restaurant that prides itself on its offerings. When I pointed this out, the staff seemed unfazed and unapologetic, which honestly was a bit frustrating. On top of that, we were definitely made to feel like second-class citizens for ordering from the happy hour menu. The drinks were only $7, which is an incredible deal, but it felt like we were snubbed by the staff for making such a choice. For a place that offers such a good deal, it seemed a bit off that they would treat happy hour guests any differently. Food: We started off with the $1 oysters. To be blunt, they were the smallest oysters I’ve ever had—like, practically bite-sized. It’s a great deal if you’re looking for volume, but don’t expect a stellar quality experience for that price. For the main course, I ordered the steak frites, and it missed the mark. The fries came out cold and hard—definitely not the crispy, golden fries you’d hope for with such a dish. The flank steak, though tender, had clearly been overcooked, leaving it a little dry and lacking in flavor. Price: While the oysters were priced well at $1 each and the happy hour drinks were a steal at $7, the overall experience didn’t feel worth what we paid for the main courses. I would have expected a bit more attention to detail, especially considering the location and reputation of the place. Overall Experience: Despite the cozy atmosphere and the friendly greeting from the Maitre d’, the rest of the experience left a lot to be desired. The lack of attention from the waitstaff and the subpar food (particularly the steak and fries) made it hard to fully enjoy the evening. While it’s a nice spot for happy hour or a casual hangout with coworkers, I wouldn't rush back for the food or service. Would I return? Maybe for a drink or two during happy hour, but I’d think twice before sitting down for a full meal. It’s definitely a case of style over substance.

Disappointing service that overshadowed a family gathering While the food at Les Enfants Terribles is suitable for a family get-together, the service fell well below expectations and ultimately soured our experience. The main issue was how our orders were handled. It appeared that our server either miscommunicated with the kitchen or failed to enter orders correctly. As a result, several dishes were delivered late, to the wrong people, or not at all. When it came time to serve the entrees and main courses, they were brought out in a staggered, disorganized manner—so much so that one family member had still not received their main dish even as the rest of us had nearly finished. We flagged the issue (before people started eating), and after tracking down our server, she asked what the missing order was, only to discover she had never entered it. While mistakes happen, this came after a series of other errors, as noted above. No temporary dish or gesture was offered to make up for the delay. In the end, plates were being cleared and that family member still hadn’t eaten. We provided feedback to be shared with the manager to raise our concerns, but that request went nowhere. There was no follow-up or little acknowledgement, which made the situation even more frustrating. Unfortunately, this experience left us with no desire to return, which is disappointing given how we’ve enjoyed previous gatherings at this restaurant. A final note to the team: when several issues arise, proactive communication and a sincere effort to make things right can go a long way in preserving guest goodwill.

Food was pretty good nothing to complain here. Service was meh. Staff was nice but typical incompetent youngster who get confused by any requests. Restaurant was so dirty. I remember when this place opened it was so hip and nice and I loved coming here. Now it's just so dirty, the table was sticky, went to the bathroom the floors are so greasy from the kitchen upstairs to bathroom downstairs it's so slippery it's straight up dangerous. Bathroom is really rundown and dirty as well. Not a good look. Seems like the place has not been cleaned or maintained since its opening, this is tragic

During my recent culinary exploration, I stumbled upon a charming restaurant that effortlessly combined the best of both worlds: mouthwatering seafood and delectable breakfast options. This restaurant impressed me with its exceptional fish and chips, delightful calamari, and divine eggs Benedict. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or a breakfast lover, this establishment provides an ideal haven for satisfying your cravings. With a combination of delectable flavors, warm service, and inviting ambiance, it's a destination that warrants a visit for an unforgettable dining experience.

We were 2 couples and had a show to go to afterwards. The service was prompt and overall great and so was the atmosphere. The food was great with the exception of the fish & chips. There were 2 cod filets and one of them was not fresh. The 3 other folks ordered the tuna tartar, the beef tartar and the “guédille”. It was all fresh and delicious! I recommend this restaurant, despite the 1 issue.

On Sunday evening before Christmas my husband and I decided to go out for a dinner. We weren't sure where to go, we just decided to drive around the city and find a place we'll like. Les Enfants Terribles on Avenue Bernard looked so inviting with warm lights inside and beautiful Christmas trees in front. It was our second visit there, before we ate al fresco during the Summer. I really like the decor of this place. It was warm, with lots of wood, beautiful candelabras and light that creates a cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious. From onion soup, thru fresh burrata, amazing daily special tuna starter with mint oil and fresh cucumber, oyster mushrooms, mac & cheese and cheesecake! OMG, that cheesecake! I don't care if I will look like I'm 15 months pregnant, I want more!!! The service was outstanding. The waiters were so attentive, professional, helpful and funny at the same time. We've had a chance to talk to the chef and it was just a pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful evening and see you soon.

Great service! Great menu options for everyone. Ambience was nice as well. Would recommend to anyone.

This is a decent place. They have indoor and lots of outdoor seating but we opted for the best of both-a table that was in the open window area. It was a sunny day. The menu online is not the same as what we had. I enjoyed the shrimp fattosh salad with the fresh watermelon and my husband had the seafood roll with the side salad. They were both good. Service was fine and efficient. It was very good-not great. Still a lot left on the menu to explore and much of it friendly to vegetarians which I appreciate.

Half chicken was served with a really spicy disgusting sauce. no mention of a spicy sauce on the menu. won't eat there again.,, bad experience. It WAS reported to the server who did not offer to replace the meal or to remove it from the check in spite of the fact that the plate was returned 3/4 full. All she did was to comp one of the desserts. This, in my opinion was not adequate!!

What a beautiful restaurant and wonderful food to complement your experience. I ordered the shakshushka for brunch and it was delicious. We had a really nice waiter and I will definitely return. They have a beautiful terrasse and it is very kid friendly.

I've passed this fabulous-looking restaurant SO many times over the years, right on the corner of Bernard and Champagneur. There's a huge terrasse to dine al fresco, and it's always bustling. Obviously a popular spot! I've wanted to dine here for years and, finally, I was able to. And in many ways, it was a fantastic restaurant, with wonderful food. But there was plenty of room for improvement, too. Our party of four came for dinner here on a hot summer night, and we snagged a table inside, abutting the open terrasse/patio area. It was lovely. Our host ordered a bottle of wine from the extensive wine menu here and, I must say, it was one of the best wines I've had in recent memory. Delicious. We were impressed with the menu, as it offered a lot of choices for all of us, with all our varied preferences and dietary "issues" (my kid is a vegetarian, for example). We shared the beets with warm goat cheese salad and it was fantastic! Our host had the salmon and it was great, he said, along with a side salad. I forget what my cousin had but she thoroughly enjoyed her meal. We ordered the dessert of the day (I forget what it was) and shared it. It was good - but I guess it speaks volumes that I forget what it was. Here are the downsides: our server was a lovely, lovely young lady who only spoke French. Now, we were lucky our host was totally bilingual (I can get by but wouldn't know how to say "scallops" or "mussels" or other more obscure foods). So when the server was describing the specials of the day, our host had to translate for me and my kid. Also, I guess that their computers were down that night so it took FOREVER to get our bill, and then to pay. I'm talking an hour. Luckily it was a nice night, we had no plans to go elsewhere after dinner and we were all enjoying each others' company. However, had this been an awkward first date, or had I brought my elderly parents here, it would have been intolerable. Not sure how often their system goes down here, but there should be a plan in place for when it occurs, so people aren't waiting for an hour or more for their bills and to pay.

The view is great, and the food was ok. I think the food is a bit over priced but i think we mainly paid for the view. The service is great though.

Great service and great food! The view is amazing with a decent wine selection. Prepare to arrive before 6pm to allow time to visit the observatory overlooking the city.

Food was average but the view makes up for it. We had a table outside by the glass. The sky was a little grey but we eventually got to see a rainbow. Staff was amazing, decor inside the resto was so nice. Portions are not that big but the price is also not so high for the view that you get.

Went to brunch with my boyfriend here. The service was excellent, better than the nuns island location, and the food was good. I got the "Monsieur Madame tout le monde" which is eggs, bacon, fruit, toast. My boyfriend got the breakfast poutine. He used to work there and the portion was huge, they have since downsized it which is disappointing. It is still worth going for brunch. The dinner menu is fine in my opinion, but it's nothing too special.

I recently brought a few friends to Les Enfants Terribles for lunch while they were in town visiting me, and they.. were.. blown.. AWAY! Yes! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. To top it off, it was a beautiful and sunny day, things couldn't have gotten any better. They shared an appetizer of calamari to start and each had lamb burgers as their main course. I stole a few fries off them, they could quite possibly be the best fries I've had in Montreal - crispy, soft, hand cut and cooked to perfection. I ordered mini chorizo pogo's as my appetizer and the salmon tartar for my main course, which came half-smoked and fresh, mixed in with coriander, lime, salmon roe, and a few tostadas that were parked elegantly on top. On the plate there was a dash of avocado purée and a jalapeno paste. With every bite I kept going "mmm" and wished for it never to end. I hear the mac & cheese is great and hearty, but quite intense! I've been aching to try the mac & lobster but definitely need someone to give it a try with me, perhaps next time. They never disappoint, I love this place. As always, don't forget to make reservations and if you're keen on getting a spot on their terrasse, be sure to go before (or after) typical peak hours!

Les Enfants Terrible's is a perfect example of beautiful plating, but poor execution. The food looks fantastic and is reasonably priced, however the lamb dish I ordered was very disappointing. There were a few small slices of lamb sausage floating in a pool of mediocre tomato sauce topped with an egg. However, the eggs Benedict was good albeit slightly to rich and drenched in hollandaise. I would not recommend Les Enfants to the average brunch consumer.

I was at this place last Friday (July 3rd). The service was pretty good. I initially ordered the mojito and found it a bit on the weak side, so the waitress took it back and added an extra shot of rum, i appreciated that. Then I got the lychee martini, I am accustomed to this drink being somewhat clear, but they make it red (probably some coloring), but it was pretty good. As a main course, I had the baby back rib, which was nicely done, with the mean falling off the bone and BBQ sauce all over... mmmm... I recommend it. Overall, I expected to pay more than what the bill said, so I was pleasantly surprised. An added bonus, the second waitress we had (named Fannie, I think) was "nice on the eyes", if you know what I mean. Enjoy the place.

Super nice resto in Outremont!! The owner is there "all" the time, she is very involved, finding us seats, telling us what her "coup de coeur" and she is right, we recommended the soup last time, and it was absolutely amazing!! We had the beet salad, fabulous with the warm goat cheese!! Plus the Jaret d'agneau also the fish was fantastic!! I like the long U shape bar, this is always my favorite place to sit! One BIg plus is that her staff has been to the "ecole hoteliere" so they know how to serve people and now about food, big plus in my book!! Cant wait to go back!! Tres charmant!! :)

Great place for a weekend brunch. I got the Benedictines terre (bacon, roasted tomato, goat cheese and spinach) and they were marvelous. Their hollandaise sauce was pretty good too. My friends got the tar time de boudin and chocolate banana gaufres and both were raving about the food as well. Service was good as well. The only complaint really is my friend came in a little late for brunch and asked the hostess after being seated for a coffee, and she told him that she's just the hostess and to ask the waiters when they come. Kinda disappointing attitude. But the service was great beside this incident.

Love the location (Bernard) especially the Terrasse, however, I always felt there is something missing. I mean, I go there to be with friends and enjoy the outdoor but not for the food. I had the Foie Gras (entree) and Ribs (main)...and a few pops to enjoy a boys night out. Foie Gras, very tiny portion, well cooked, a bit of "acidity" in the after taste...hard to explain...was just not on point. The ribs...one can find better ribs at Madison, Baton Rouge alikes... We had a blast with the staff tho...very fun night...real first Terrasse night out of the season with the boys. We will probably return for brunch or Sunday afternoon drinks, but...been there, done that ...and the long and the short is ...Les Enfants is not my first choice, but a semi good second or third choice for your outings.

Good food but small portions. I was still hungry after my meal. I got the Grilled Half Avocado but replaced the salmon with another poached egg. My hubby got the Jardinere Omelette. And we shared the Beet with warm Goat Cheese salad. All were very flavorful but unfortunately pretty small. I also had to drink the Fresh juice with all the fruits and carrot mixed together. It was also small. And Hubby got the latte with soy milk and he really liked it. They left a bottle of water on the table. Service was good.

Good twists on french Canadian meals like the pate chinois. Great tartar as well. Nice location in the heart of Outremont. Weekend brunches are very busy...be ready to wait in line. A Montreal classic! Enjoy!

Food was bad and pricy, we were so hungry we could have eaten anything. Their AAA beef is overcooked, small portion and pricy. Salade is tasteless, and fries were cold and spongy. There are many other, much better restaurants on Bernard streets. Stay away! --------- Mauvais rapport qualité prix Nous Somme entrés là avec une faim de loup, sans aucune attente. Résultats : - "Burger boeuf AAA" 15$ d'à peine 1/2" sec, trop cuit et sans goût. (avec cornichons alors que commandé sans) -"Frites maison" petites, spongieuses et douteuses. - "Tatare de saumon" 26$ Frais, mais fade accompagné d'une salade très basique sans aucune vinaigrette. Overall = déception, quitté le ventre creux et le porte feuille plus léger.

Habituellement, on peut s'attendre à un repas exquis et un bon service, mais je dois avouer que j'ai été amèrement déçu de mon expérience ce soir. J'ai commandé un burger BLT, qui était succulent, accompagné d'une poutine. Celle-ci était tiède et la sauce était de toute évidence vieille de par la peau qui s'est formée dessus. Je l'ai renvoyée pour une nouvelle, mais ce qui m'est ramené est la même poutine transférée dans un autre bol (on le voyait par les fils de fromage fondu sur le côté du bol), réchauffée au microonde avec un soupçon de sauce par-dessus (on y voyait la trace de fourchette que j'y avais laissé en testant la première fois) et des frites maintenant trop chaudes et molles. J'ai expliqué la situation au serveur, qui était en plein accord avec moi, et je n'ai pas été facturé pour l'extra en bout de ligne. Un gros merci à lui pour son bon service À l'administration, SVP voir avec la cuisine pour éviter que cela ne se produise plus. Je ne crois pas que cette façon de faire soit digne de votre restaurant, et j'ai malheureusement était échaudé.

I had a cocktail and a cheese plate here recently and they were both excellent, and I noticed a couple other things I thought maybe worth mentioning. For one, 6pm and the place started to fill up with families! In a high end bistro with a big central bar this wasn't really something I was expecting, I hadn't realized this Brasserie had a kids menu! Let alone a well developed menu clearly devoted to kids' taste with mini burgers, mac n' cheese, fish n' chips, chicken fingers. The parents seemed to settle into this dim and amazing smelling resto, order a glass of wine and a very nice meal and glow with gratitude while their kids happily mellowed out as well while they picked their favourites. Let's be clear - kids menu items are all around $10 so this is definitely not budget dining, it's Outremont families doing their thing, but for what it is, it's smart and welcoming. One thing that bugged me: I told the person at the door that I just wanted to have a drink at the bar and she said go ahead, and only after I'd ordered a drink did the bartender realize I hadn't been told that I had to eat if I was drinking - they have one of those licenses. This would really have pissed me off if the cheese plate I ordered wasn't exceptional. Great cheese and homemade pickles and beat mustard heal most errors caused by bad service in my experience.

I just love Montreal this time of year. All the sidewalk cafes to really enjoy people watching, enjoy a class of wine or beer and just take in all the gloriousness Montreal has to offer. This is my first time here. My family and I are here for our Nephews wedding. We just drove 5 hours from Boston and were starving and needed to sit and relax while enjoying a glass of wine. I just love the name of this place. So quirky. Trust me we were far from being "Terrible Children" which is what "Les Enfant Terribles" means. Lol. We were well behaved. We waited about 15 min to be seated, our waitress was sweet and attentive. And don't worry if you can't speak French, they speak both. We ordered 2 different carafes of wine, red and white. Our food was amazing especially the Pâte Chinois with truffle oil. Wow! Amazing. What I really love about most restaurants in Montreal is that even if the food isn't that great, the presentation is stellar and top notch!! The prices of course is très cher, but it's well worth the visit. If you're ever here, pay a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Situated in a trendy neighbourhood and a stone's throw away from the much celebrated ice cream shop Bilboquet, this is a perfect spot for summertime lunch on the terrace. Even when braving the cold winter months, this restaurant offers a good selection of comfort food and the interior decor is quite chic and inviting. I'd recommend the gazpacho and one of the tartare plates. The portion sizes are good for such rich cuisine. If you're feeling spunkier, why not try the delicious mini chorizo pogos? They're bite-sized wonders that shouldn't be passed up! The beet salad is quite filling and offers an unexpected bite...think beets, pecans, greens, grapes and delicious goat cheese, with great presentation. Though it may not be as innovative as the other dishes, another stand-by is the macaroni and cheese, which is decently good, but not the best I've ever had (try the pulled porc mac n cheese with truffle chips from Mbrgr for a foodgasmic experience). The reason this restaurant gets a 3/5 rather than a 4 is because the food is pretty good, but isn't, in the words of Russell Peters, "mind blasting." It's a cute spot to go hang out in the summer time if you're in the area, but nothing to write home about, except for maybe the pogos, which I wish would come in regular size :)

Always enyoyed my time there! Great meals and drinks! La salade Cesar est un incontournable (avec la bonne vinaigrette à base de yogurt) The mac and cheese, fish and chips, octopus and salmon tartars are tasty too:) Toujours bondé de monde alors soyez patients ou reservez par telephone !

I am surprised by their 3.5 star review. I rarely rate something 5 stars unless it truly is (in my mind). Since I am basically a tourist I can't tell you much about the area except that it was fairly close to the Outremont metro station and the neighborhood was very cute and quaint. So we started off by sitting outside which was the best thing that could have happened. Such a beautiful night! I got their lemonade, kind of pricey but after tasting it can totally see why. It was the best lemonade I've ever had, I asked for some vodka in it, which they did and you can't taste it, but I sure felt it. We then split a fried calamari and gazpacho. Both were delicious and the calamari was perfectly crisp! For the main course I got the lamburger with fries. Seriously, get this if you like lamb. My friend got the fish and chips which was really good as well. Seriously, everything I put into my mouth here was really good and worth it.

I go to Montreal once or twice a month for business. This is my hangout place. I have an apartment nearby and don't bother doing groceries or looking for other places after a long day. 80% of the people are from the local French speaking upper crust of Montreal. The food is consistently good and the specials can be quite exceptional. The food ranges from quality comfort, traditional french, to simply gastronomic when the chef is in the mood. I have had every single items and just go for the daily specials. This is a great place to have as a regular. Go to the bar if you are a regular, as the visitors occupy the tables and terrace. Being from Boston the is my Cheers in Montreal.

Good food. Good wine. But nothing outstanding. I do go there regularly because it's a great no-fuss kind of place ; meaning that you can have a great time regardless of your taste in food. I would almost qualify it as a good ''hang out'' place. I've been dressed up, and i've been dressed casually. Not ideal for a first or second date - but great for a night out with friends. I recommend the beet salad. They also have great fries. Service is acceptable.

Was... ok. Side caesar and fries were good. Buger looked good but taste was just ok. Same for the mac & cheese. Instead of mozzarella, they should use cheddar. Urban chic, and good service (5pm).

I work in Outremont and this is pretty much my favourite lunch place in the hood. The food is consistently great and the service is impeccable...plus they have an absolutely kick ass patio in the summer, most perfect for people watching. The specials of the day are always so varied and they have something for absolutely everyone. Their fish and chips, mac & cheese, fish special and desserts are all to die for and the atmosphere is always fun, not too loud and they are somehow always able to accommodate even a larger table of people: magic! I agree with Ms V in that they are somehow able to blend all sorts of people, from all age groups and walks of life into one fun meld. You won't regret eating at Les Enfants!

This corner was a goldmine waiting to happen. While the previous dump (Vasco da Gama?) circled the drain with its overpriced crappy sandwiches and holier-than-thou attitude, whoever owns this place now was plotting to open one bistro in Outremont to end them all. And what an opening- gorgeous decor accented by driftwood-like beams studding the walls, iron, shades of grey mixed with black and white, all very HGTVish, but done with extreme taste. On summer nights the terrace wraps around the corner and the ambience is absolutely top-notch. The patrons are a total motley crew - everything from pipe-smoking faux-Parisian Outremont snobs, to 50-something MILFs having one too many with their real estate coworkers, to Moroccan guys in their mid-30's with white belts and matching 'crocodile' Aldo shoes. A total melange, and yet it works somehow. And what about the food, you ask? No one cares. Who needs a killer menu with so many other assets? And yet, the food is not bad. I mean, it's not going to win any awards - but go tell that to the million people lining up every weeknight to snatch a seat outside. That being said, the tartare and good old bistro-burger are excellent, and the breakfast is pretty good, too. This place is a real treat. If you're from out of town and want to really experience a Montreal summer evening in full bloom, head to this little gem.

OVERPRICED. For brunch I ordered the Classic Egg Benedict and a Signature Cesar salad. Both were presented on large plates. The egg Benedict tasted good, but was very small and had little ham on it. Instead there was a huge portion of potatoes on my plate (that doesn't cost much). The Cesar salad had very few ingredients beside the salad and dressing. Overall a disappointing experience as I was still hungry when I left. Won't go back.

I've been here twice, once for dinner and today for brunch! I've definitely enjoyed my experience both times. For dinner I had their salmon tartar and was impressed by the freshness. Super yummy! Brunch with my mom: We both chose egg benedicts. I ordered the smoked salmon one, and she ordered the classic. She originally wanted the bacon one, but they did not let her omit the goat cheese. I also ordered a grapefruit mimosa and my mom ordered a cappuccino. Our order came with a bowl of fruit and house potatoes. I really enjoyed my meal, and so did my mom! The order also gave us some homemade jams to try. The place was super cozy and modern, with the wooden interior and "bar area". Overall, I really enjoyed it and would come back again!

Being my third time here, brunch was my best meal. The freshest smoked salmon I've ever had at any brunch in Montreal, & they are generous with real maple syrup. Mostly inexperienced young staff. Brought clients here for dinner. Had our $90 wine poured by a teen who propped bottle on lip of my glass. Dripped wine down side of my glass, down bottle & all along table. Told us to enjoy & walked away! What happened to training? Standards? Les Enfants Terribles... Ça porte bien son nom! Carpaccio was bland & dry. Calamari was good. Tartare de saumon just meh. Saumon poêlé, over cooked. Poulet de Cornouailles rôti was good. It's an Outremont staple, well supported by its local patrons, who frequent as a basic locale. As that it's fine, but I wouldn't drive across town for a special dining experience, 'cuz it just ain't all that.

The irony is in the name.Food was terrible quality and very overpriced. Service was clumsy and inconsiderate. The only nice thing about this place was the modern wood decor, high crested ceilings and big windows. I ordered the lamb burger and a Saporro beer on draft and my bill came to $30 for lunch time, pretty steep especially considering the low quality of the food. When paying by debit card you cant put your own tip amount, you are forced to chose between 15%-17%-20% which is ridiculous. My friend was asked what kind of cheese they would like with their burger and the waiter didnt mention that it was an additional $2.50 to add it. The burgers themselves were very dry, unsalted and completed devoid of flavor. The cheese in mine almost had an unpleasant sour taste. Dont get me wrong, its a nice ambiance. I have no problem with paying $30 for a hamburger at lunch if it was the best burger you'd ever it, but this was very far from it. It seems like the people that flock here might be wealthy with bad taste in food. Overall try at your own risk, but dont say i didnt warn you about the food. Try Cafe Souvenir next door, their burgers are 100 times better at 1/2 the price.

It's a good place but I find it a bit overrated. Food is not bad however paying $5.00 for a mini glass of "Tropicana" orange juice, $4.00 for a hot chocolate and $16 for a PLAIN waffle is just ridiculous. I know is not McDonalds but a rather stilted menu doesn't justify those prices. Perhaps my mistake was going with children (the reason for the plain waffles,orange juice and the hot chocolate that my 9 year old stepdaughter just took one sip). Although the place welcomes children (on Sunday brunch) I don't think is really a place or a menu suitable for them, unless of course they are not picky... (can't blame my stepchildren when their mother only feeds them with anything than comes out of a box, including McDonlads lol!).

Food and presentation wise - definitely a solid 5! The menu is well thought through, both taste and looks. The waiting staff surely knows their menu very well. The portions might be on a smaller side for some dishes, unusual for Montreal if you ask me, so better check with the waiting staff to not remain hungry! We were a little surprised about lack of beer in _brasserie_, but this is just a rather minor setback. Overall - definitely coming back once i have a chance :)

Wow! What a great place this is. I was in town on business and was brought here for diner. Just happened to be during a record breaking week of amazing Spring weather. The place was packed! The patio bustling with happy patrons. We waited 10 minutes to be seated and started our meal with an Outremont Mojito, a twist on the classic using dark run rather than white and maple syrup instead of cane syrup. De-licious! The menu is simple comfort food made well.... Sheapards pie, Mac and cheese, burgers, even mini pogo's for appies. They also have a clue tartares that looked amazing and some rockin salads. I landed on the lamb burger which was absolutely delectable. The fries were hand cut and cooked to perfection and came with home made mayo and ketchup for dipping. Although fully satisfied, I couldn't resist trying the "pudding chomeur" a childhood favorite. HEAVEN! Go check it out. Well worth the wait if you don't have a reservation.

Great restaurant with nice servers. The burgers and steak are great. They have minipogos and onion soup that are really awesome too. For desert they have a really sweet pudding that's to die for. Service is usually good until the end. The waiters consistently forget about you after the main course is served. It's sometimes hard to get the bill. But otherwise they're all really nice. Saturday and sunday brunch are amazing. Their waffles are brilliant, albeit small. Recommend the breakfast poutine which is breakfast potatoes, pork shoulder, poached egg, and froyo sauce. They have a bar with some good drinks. During brunch I like their Mimosas. They're a bit expensive though at 10 a glass. In fact most of the food is a bit pricey but in my opinion it's pretty worth it.

Really awesome place went for breakfast had the tiramisu waffles and they were to die for!!! Always love these types of restaurants that rethink breakfast and offer more than bacon and eggs

We ate here again on my trip to Montreal last week. I ordered the Salmon with kale on quinoa, my daughter had the Mac & Cheese. Honestly it was the best salmon I have had in my life. Again, we had a reservation. Still as busy as it was a year ago. Try to book ahead. But it is That Good, and well worth the trip from wherever you are in Montreal. They have lovely heated sidewalk seating as well, which is a little less crazy than inside. I love, love, love this restaurant.

I tried the (new?) LAVAL location in Centropolis this week and was not disappointed. My parents often surprise me and suggested the LAVAL location of Les Enfants Terribles for an early week-night family dinner to celebrate my brother's graduation. My brother and I were both unaware that such a location existed and whole-heartedly agreed. This location is much larger than the one on Bernard and open and airy with eclectic, modern wood decor. It was fairly full at 7pm on a Tuesday night with an after-work crowd and some families, but the 4 of us were seated immediately with a smile. Service was quick and friendly. Our water carafe was constantly replaced and our glasses topped off with a smile. Food was delicious and no one had any complaints about their order - in spite of the fact that they were out of the ribs my dad had been eyeing! He settled on the salmon and proclaimed it fresh and well cooked - my brother seconded the opinion - and judging from their clean plates it was a hit! My mom had the burger and was pleased that it was well-cooked yet still flavourful. I had one of my favourites, the paté chinois and was not disappointed. The potatoes were creamy and savoury with just the right touch of truffle oil and the braised beef was melt-in-your-mouth. My brother and I shared the snickers cake for dessert - it was basically a brownie with peanuts and vanilla ice cream - but it was rich and very good! Add to it that the prices are very reasonable and we were a happy bunch!

Lovely decor: high vaulted ceilings, reclaimed wood, old wooden schoolroom chairs, lots of light. Mediocre brunch. No more than a standard menu - my omelette was perfectly respectable, but the choices are slim, especially compared to Café Souvenir next door. Allongé was bitter and burnt-tasting; jam was an inedible Kraft packet you'd expect from a corner greasy spoon. Not terrible, but not worth going back.

best meal we had in Montreal! this was our first visit to the island city (a surprise for my husbands 30th bday). We made this our last meal of the trip and though we bixi'ed in the rain it was so worth it! We ordered the cod fritters, the grilled chicken salad (holy sh*t), the macaroni and cheese, and the market fish and chips of the day. It was pretty silly that it was soooo good. We lounged in the almost empty restaurant (it was about 3pm) and before we knew it we made a mad dash out of there to catch our flight! Literally it was so good and such a pleasant experience that we lost track of time. THE END. p.s. shout out to the lemonade!!

BRUNCH: Went there for brunch once and it was eeally OK. We couldn't even get a clean glass of water. Imagine! And the food was good but nothing "woah" about it. In my opinion, this place is a bit overrated and overpriced for the menu they have to offer. I will give it a try for dinner. Let's hope this time it will be less disappointing.

Was in town for poutine week. We came around 9pm on a Saturday and it was really busy but were seated promptly Great food/drinks, great service and really nice relaxed ambience - in a beautiful city.

I went there with some expectations on a Thursday as I ate previously at the PVM branch before. I was invited both times. First, the street noise was terrible as there is construction the street: not their fault. But to be st a table for half hour and to have to ask for bread and then be offeeed a basket to choose a bun from smacked of service on an airplane! The tuna tartare was generous but tasteless, the fries very so so. It also seems to me the lunch menu is the same as dinner: both not very innovative. To me, the Terribles label in their name may be a slight omen of what to expect.

Great place! I've been there twice for brunch. It is pretty standard French brunch food with omelets, crepes, croissants etc... The potatoes they served as a side were magnificent and seasoned to perfection. Great terrace outside in the summer. Admittedly it is pricey but it's worth the extra money. It can be a bit slow compared to cheaper brunch places like Cora but it is something to be expected in more high end places where they hopefully don't reheat dishes. I might go again in the future for lunch or supper, it's a nice and cozy place.

This used to be a standby. However on a recent visit, at a time when they weren't that busy, the service at the bar was sub par. I waited almost a half hour for my main course -- a pretty uncomplicated grilled sandwich. The broccoli soup I had to start had streaks of what I assume was corn starch and didn't really taste of broccoli. Resting on their laurels?

I am not a huge fan of comfort food, however they have tartares and salads too:) I mainly go for the bistro ambiance, sit at the bar, and relax. The Outremont location is close to my house and work, so very convenient for me to meet friends or for business meetings.
