Restaurant La Raclette

What a beautiful location to enjoy a nice meal. They have a great outdoor seating area, with personal heaters above each table that you are able to turn off and on to ensure comfort. The service here is amazing, top notch really. My brother recommended we visit here, and it did not disappoint. We did the La Pierrades surf & turf. Each meal also comes with soup, they had two options.. a warm or cold. It was delicious!! I’ll definitely recommend to my friends and family who visit MTL. It’s important to note this is also a BYOW restaurant, which we thought was a huge bonus!

Had a lovely dinner Friday night, the staff were very friendly and the service was quick. Good atmosphere with lots of people and cosy environment. The food was delicious and good quality, thank you and I’ll be back!

Beautiful dinner for my girlfriend’s 30th.It is BYOB just so you know. Bring a wine bottle. Delicious fondue, do wish there was a bit more meat given for the plate. Overall amazing experience. The waiter was very polite and gave great suggestions. I forgot his name but had a mustache. Great dude.

Great raclette experience! Bring your own wine if you want to drink wine with your cheese.

We always call it our favorite Swiss restaurant in Montreal because we usually order either the Classic Cheese Fondue or the Raclette. Due to Covid and life as we know it, we finally came back after 5 years.. The decor and atmosphere have changed a bit but the food remains outstanding. Our waiter still remembers us and gave us a warm welcome. Needless to say that all the staff there were courteous and professional, which made the whole dining experience perfect. It’s not as easy as getting there from New York, but we are already discussing how we could visit this restaurant again in the future. Hopefully it wouldn’t take another five years.

First stop on my Montreal trip, and it's a true gem! The standout features are exceptional customer service and a welcoming hostess with a radiant smile. A unique perk is the option to bring your own wine, and if you forget, a nearby cash-only store is suggested by our helpful hostess. This local, casual establishment radiates a warm, neighborly ambiance, making you feel like part of a family dining environment. We started with a delicious pumpkin soup, then enjoyed a flavorful steak and superbly cooked lamb for our main courses. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful, slightly unconventional dining experience in Montreal. Cheers, BN

It's a nice place to scape for a night, ambience it's ok, just a bit loud, the menu is only in French, so I ordered something that I wasn't sure about what we were getting, but was an ok experience at the end, service is ok, just a little slow but it was fine , soup it was nice taste, and the Fondue 🫕 was ok, desert with the 🍨 cream and coffee was very nice, we can bring our wine which was excellent, because we could have the perfect wine

Located in a residential area, it's cute, with warm ambiance and great food. We (4) ordered two experiences to share: Classic Cheese Fondue for 2pp & Raclette to share for 2pp. Great selections of meats for raclette. We ended up trying everything and all delicious. Although, It's so much food!. We didn't like the cold soup "gaspacho", It might be for specific tastes. I feel the price could be on the high side for a whole family, so be sure to check the prices before you go. The BYOB option helps, so it won't break the bank. My waitress was estressed, not very patience to explain how the menu works for raclette and fondue for a first time guest, the hostest explained for me. The waiter even opened the proseco and the alcohol jumped out and he forgot to clean, so my table was sticky all night. I'll come back, but definetely will hope to have a better service

What's not to love about this place? The location, the warm and welcoming staff, the incredible food, and the cozy ambiance--everything was so good that we came back twice in one week! I highly recommend making a reservation, as it's a spot worth planning for. While the two-course menu is satisfying, if you're celebrating or just want to indulge, go for the three-course option--you won't regret it. Every bite is an experience, and La Raclette makes it one to remember.

This is such a fun place to have dinner with friends. Every item on the menu was excellent. The staff were quick to bring food, courteous and prompt on topping up your water. It was a full night but the service was on point with different team members helping out as needed. The MTL à Table menu was a nice deal and got me through the door to discover their menu cause otherwise I would've found the menu kind of pricey on a regular day. This is a restaurant that understood the assignment!! We enjoyed everything about our evening--good food and friends! The pink peppercorn raclette with 4 half potatoes had the best tasting fragrant cheese ever but it is rich so you might want to share it and eat it with the fresh baguette bread provided. The salmon confit was so fresh with the dill and cream--delightful! The rabbit rillettes were delicious paired with the cranberry balsamic jam. I asked for more croutons to go with it. The shredded veal and mushrooms was rich and creamy. The crusted cod was accompanied with a really wonderful creamy sauce. I definitely recommend these two dishes. The Cornish hen is the leg and the wing which may be hard to eat elegantly with a knife and fork. The Océane raclette bowl I found had more broccoli and cauliflower than seafood. There were small shrimp in there and topped with salmon pieces accompanied with a side of salad. It was tasty but very cheesy so I couldn't finish it all (take home). As for desserts, the chocolate dome was so tasty with the caramel and raspberries. Witness its glorious destruction by molten caramel sauce! The Mont Blanc might look like strands of raw chicken meat but I promise you it was tastier than it looked! It paired well with the vanilla ice cream base. Overall, a great new find for me. Would love to come back again! There are two options for parking... You can circle the neighborhood or you can pay $8 for parking in a sticker zone using the code from the restaurant.

I dined at Raclette several years back (2019) and had a truly wonderful experience. I was excited to return to the restaurant and enjoy a similar time this visit to MTL, but was rather disappointed with the quality of the service we experienced. While the food is excellent and the atmosphere is very romantic and pleasant, I was at first put off by the confusing menu. I am proficient in French and requested the French menu. My bf does not speak French and requested the English menu. The raclette choices didn't make much sense to me in French, so thinking it was a language issue, I checked the English menu as well. No, not a language issue, it is just very confusing. There are the following options for raclette. 1.) European style raclette, cheese of the day, cured meats or vegetarian 40$/pers. 2.) La Pierrade all meat (beef, pork, poultry, sausages, cheese)  48$/pers. 3.) La Pierrade Surf & Turf (beef, pork, chicken, shrimps, scallop, salmon, cheese)  57$/pers. There is the notation "all shared dishes comes with potatoes, vegetables, salad, pickles". What I wanted to know was what type of vegetables come with each option such as mushroom, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, etc. This is not explained anywhere on the menu. It was completely unclear what specific vegetables we would be served. I prefer to eat mostly vegetarian and selected the vegetarian menu of the European style raclette and bf had the meat version. We only received a bowl of potatoes and a small bowl with a few mushrooms, cauliflower and broccoli and a couple slices of red peppers. On previous visits we were served cornichons. No cornichons this time. It would be nice if they had some more variety of vegetables or included other items like apples and pears. I requested more mushrooms and we were not charged for them, but I would have happily paid for more mushrooms to come out if it had been more clear what we'd get for the "vegetables". The servers seems to ignore our party of two. It was hard to get refills of water as they were generally tending to larger tables. The final straw for me in terms of the service was when I was paying for the meal with my credit card and selected the receipt option of "email receipt". I then had to enter my email. The waiter stood there staring at me while I entered my email and made a comment to the effective of, "oh, we don't normally do that since it take so much time and we are so busy here". I almost wanted to say, well excuse me for spending over $100 here and inconveniencing you for 2 seconds. SMH. I still think the food and atmosphere are great but found them extremely lacking in the service department on this visit. I hope this was just an anomaly and the waiter we received was just having a bad day or something but I honestly hope he won't be there when we return. Also, street parking is very rough in this area. We had to park several blocks away and walk over 10 minutes each way. I'd recommend coming via Uber or Metro + walk. At the bottom of the reservation there's a notation about the possibility of obtaining a parking pass from the restaurant when you arrive in exchange for cash. I suppose this is your best option if you must bring your car.

Good restaurant with nice environment. Service was great, very nice and explained well and great recommendations. Cheese fondue taste really good, one of the best I ever had Pierrades, first time trying this which was recommended by the server, highly recommended. Stone grilled meat with melted cheese, just wanna go back when I'm writing this review

I have dined at this authentic raclette and fondue restaurant now in three occasions, including yesterday evening. We made reservations online for the 7 pm seating, but we were a few minutes late due to the difficulty finding a parking spot. Apparently the restaurant does offer a special temporary street parking permit for $6 when you check in, but didn't know this and we ended up walking several blocks to and from the establishment, parking for free in a 2 hour spot in an adjacent neighborhood. After we explained this to the staff, they were nice and accommodating and we were promptly seated. We ordered their European style raclette dinner, which comes with 8 slices of cheese for each person, and accompanied by steamed baby potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus spears, and a green salad, and I ordered mine with the cured meats (included with the raclette price of $40 per person) and my girlfriend requested mushrooms instead of the meats. The menu was a bit confusing, but in addition to raclette there's fondue and other sides available, but the basic raclette dinner is very large and satisfying. The restaurant also has a BYOB policy so we brought our own wine and they didn't charge an uncorking fee. The service was generally good, although the water refills were slow and the waiter didn't quite clarify our questions about the menu, even though my girlfriend is fluent in French. But the food was delicious and the cost was reasonable given the generous portions.

Our first visit, and it was wonderful! Delicious food, gracious staff, and a comfortable patio in a leafy green neighborhood. We'd love to return on our next visit to Montreal.

I was looking forward to a great fondue/raclette experience, but unfortunately La Raclette did not quite deliver. The primary problem with this restaurant is the limiting and strict format of their menu. If you want cheese fondue for 2 people, you cannot have any raclette or the hot stone grill and vice versa. The fondue or raclette is 55$/ person for the table d'hote, while the raw meats grilled at the table rings in at 63$ ( or 72$ if you add exactly 2 shrimp and 1 scallop per person). Incidentally, all prices are about 20$ higher than listed on their website. If the experience had been amazing, I wouldn't ordinarily care about the price discrepancy. I understand that restaurants need to recoup some money these days. We ordered the grilled meats and seafood with raclette cheese which costs 144$ for 2 people. On top of that most of the appetizers and desserts have supplementary charges, therefore the dinner with tax and tip came in just a hair below 200$. For the price, I was underwhelmed. When I think of classic fondue restaurants I remember having a first course dipping some bread and vegetables in a cheese fondue. The second course would be either a Chinese style fondue cooking meats in oil or grilling them on a stone. Because of the strict menu however, simply adding a pot of cheese to a order is not an option unless you want to spend an extra 80$. (40 x 2people minimum à la charge price for fondue) . The restaurant wants to desperately ensure that everyone spends at least 40 dollars (it's even written on their website), so they include a small plate of 2 mini pickles, literally 4 miniature fried potatoes the size of home fries, and a small handful of lettuce in oil. I have no idea what people are talking about in these reviews when they said there is an abundance of food. Look at the picture of raw meat they gave us to grill. Being a Watchers Watchers alumni, I'm pretty accurate gauging portion sizes. Combined, I would guess that there was no more than 10 ounces of protein to be grilled and split amongst 2 people. For 200$, even including the 4 slices of cheese, diminutive portion of potatoes and a few baskets of bread, the value here is poor. my appetizer of duck confit was absolutely awful. Served cold and wrapped in a wet leaf of greenery, it was basically a clump of tasteless and unseasoned cold mystery meat. The 4 slices of raclette cheese were delicious, but the 2 sauces were forgettable and generic. I would have preferred a few extra shrimp, some more meat, and much more potatoes, pickles and vegetables on the side. There was next to nothing there! Finally, if you are going to throw in a seafood option don't give a customer one small scallop. It's disappointing and ridiculous. Who eats a single lonely scallop?? Our waiter kept telling us that dessert was going to be a "show". Basically they cover a very small piece of cake with a thin dome of chocolate. Then they melt it with some "chocolate whiskey " sauce. It sounds better than it was. The portion was small and the flavours weren't rich, just overly sweet. I have a crazy suggestion for a fondue restaurant at dessert time; Try a chocolate fondue with some sliced fruit. How is this not an option? Surely, this can't be the best the city of Montreal has to offer in terms of fondue? Unfortunately, there only seems to be a handful left. Most places are outside of the city. The good news is that I'm fairly confident that after buying a fondue or raclette set , I could pull off a great meal that would be a marked improvement over this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant that has a very simple menu for raclette and fondue. The staff was extremely friendly and their terrace was so nice in the summer. They even have little heat lamps at each table for when it got chilly. The menu is simple but a little complex at the same time. It assume you're 2 or more people. They offer a 3 course meal, and if you pick it, you're getting 3 courses per person. So 2 appetizers, the raclette for 2, and 2 deserts. It's expensive and a ton of food, but it's really darn good so I'd say it's worth it for a date or special occasion. We got the shrimp/lobster crepe and beef tartare appetizers. They give you a lot with your raclette too, I didn't expect it. Potatoes, vegetables, ham, salami, a salad, and 8 slices of raclette. And bread. Per person. It's heavy but it's so good. The European style raclette choice comes with an oven with a burner in it that lets you heat up the slices of cheese in little pans. There is also an option for a fondue pot with gruyere cheese or a meat grilling top. Fun options. For desert because we did the 3 courses per person, we opted for 1 chocolate dome that melts with ice cream and fruit. Otherwise it's an extra charge if you get it without. Again it's a bit expensive particularly because besides the appetizer and the desert it's not really prepared food and it's not particularly expensive food being served. But it's a fun experience and I think that's what counts. I loved having a little bit of everything smothered in cheese

La Raclette, a hidden gem in the plateau Mont-Royal, a place where you'll never imagine to find the definition of fine dinning. Needless to say, this is the perfect a place to enjoy with friends and your loved ones. No matter what you order, it will be a party in your month. I ordered a pot-au-feu de Canard which came with a tender duck leg which was cooked to perfection. It was soo tender that I didn't even need my knife. The dish also came big piece of saucisson which complemented the duck very well. It also came with a pork breast which was, again, delicious. The whole dishes left a wonderfull taste in my mouth. Definitly will coming back and try other dishes!

Nice environment, good service and bettee food! The price is actually a menu set, so we had the Petit menu, which includes a soup as starter and then the main course you choose. We finally went for the raclette and the cheese was tasty and it melted in our mouth... It is served with potatoes, veggies and charcuterie. Do not miss the super chocolate cake!!

We have been to La Raclette three times in the past year and each visit was top notch. From the warm, friendly hostess (who was kind enough to point us in the direction of the closest wine store--since La Raclette is BYOB) to the knowledge attentive servers, to the romantic and charming atmosphere, this spot has never let us down. It's $36pp for fondue, which is served with cured meats, vegetables, salad, bread, and potatoes. We had the soup of the day to start and, although I could not pronounce it, I can say it was yummy! Bravo, Raclette--we'll see you next time we're in Montreal!

Great food and service, easy parking around, desert is awesome, kids menu available, English visitor friendly, highly recommended.

My very first experience at a Swiss raclette restaurant was here today and as usual, after checking the reviews on Yelp which were quite positive, I didn't hesitate to give it a try. I can't say I was impressed nor disappointed but it was one of them experiences where you'd feel happy you've had the chance to at least experience a novelty for the sake of discovering something new. We tried the three course raclette and fondue. We were two couples. You'd get stuffed if you can finish them all. Pro: - Very tasty and high quality deer tartare - Amazingly tasty and rich raclette cheese - Awesome desserts. We tried the chocolate dome with hot caramel sauce and poire Hélène. Both are excellent choices - Very nice and attentive staff, they'd even come outside of the restaurant upon your arrival and help you find a parking spot if you ask them to - They sell $6 parking pass so you can park your car in the reserved residential spots on streets nearby - BYOW Con: - Not much except for the price. For two, It cost us $130 with tax and tip and it's a BYOW. Well, it's Swiss Harry, not a falafel joint. Duh! Right. - You'd need to go to the gym the following day to burn them rich damn calories - Cholesterol? Haha, you're in the wrong restaurant. I'd go back but only on a special occasion and I'd order the raclette if it's me and my significant other. The cheese in this one is superior to the fondue. Anyhow, my next fondue would be a regular one, not cheese. I can survive for a few weeks after here today without cheese. But damn, it was good tho.

Tucked away on a residential street is a most charming and wonderful restaurant! We made a last minute reservation to La Raclette to finally try raclette and after our experience here, were so happy we did. We were warmly greeted by our host, and seated by a window, which we had requested. Our waiter was extremely welcoming and explained how the menu worked. After receiving some delicious French bread and a jar of small cornichon pickles, we ordered the raclette for two, and a kid's fondue meal for our child, who was very excited to have gazpacho with it as well. The German Beer soup I got as an appetizer was delicious and a heartier version of French Onion soup. My husband had the scallop app, which was a thinly sliced raw carpaccio, very fresh and mild tasting. For the main course, we were presented with a burner box and small square tray for melting the cheese. On top of the box were two small square dishes containing quartered boiled potatoes in one dish and sautéed mushrooms, red peppers and asparagus pieces, as well as a large plate of the cheese slices, thinly sliced ham, salami, dried prosciutto and a serving of a lovely green salad with thinly sliced beets on it. My son received a smaller version of their fondue and it was perfect for him (as well as us to sample). He too received a dish with salad, some ham and veggies to dip and a basket of bread pieces as well. We had so much fun melting our cheese and figuring out different combinations to eat our melted cheese with, and both meals were outstanding. Since we brought our own wine as well, it was even more enjoyable. The service was also excellent and attentive, with our water cups being refilled quickly (such rich food makes one thirsty, after all!). Finally for dessert I ordered the Chocolate Dome which was presented with flair and melted for us by our waiter with warm butterscotch. Inside the dome was ice cream, small cubes of pound cake and fresh berries on the perimeter. It was like a chocolate fondue without the pot! This had to be the best dining experience we have had in Montreal so far and beyond the excellent food, we had such a wonderful experience visiting this outstanding place! If you are deciding whether or not to visit, seriously, go now, you won't be disappointed!

We gave it a 4/5 because the ambiance was romantic, calm and European style. The service was service was passive, which is nice for a wine and dine, less for energetic ambiance. The best dish in f the night was a salmon carpaccio 10 on 10. One of the best entrees in the city. We also had the mushroom pole to espuma, which was good. We shared a cheese fondue. The cheese fondue was a little on the salty side and the choice of dipping foods were limited to charcuterie, bread and potatoes. Would have liked more variety to make it more fun. The dessert was also the highlight of the evening, chocolate dome! Do not pass this up!! Ps it's a BYOB. For more details: insta @you_my_food

Another fun social place to eat in the vibrant town of Montreal. 2 couples picked 2 different fondues. We did not pick raclette because we did not want to cook one item at a time. Each person gets their own plate of variety items to dip in the cheese. The price and 2-course meal is worth it. They accommodate vegetarians and gluten-free substitutions. The ambiance is lovely. Ask about the art work, one of the employees paints the beautiful work.

Returned to this resto after a few years for our anniversary. It was always a great place for a Raclette and fun ambience. It did not disappoint! Apparently the owners have changed and menu updated or tweaked for presentation but overall excellent food and service. Resto was full and crowd was diverse in age and groups. (anglophone/francophone/tourists. Good for dinner for 2 or a group. It's bring your own wine so good on the $$ front. Had a Raclette for 2 but want to try some of the "non-traditional" dishes too. A new memory was made and will definitely go back!

Incredible restaurant! Everything was just really, really good. My son said the gazpacho was the best soup he's ever had. The other soup was chicken consommé with zucchini and it was just tremendous as well. We had the raclette which was both very tasty and entertaining. The meats were great as was the cheese. For desert we shared the chocolate dome which gets melted at the table with butterscotch (perhaps the best I've ever had). I can't imagine a better restaurant in Montreal!

We came here for fondue, but ended up having raclette and it did not disappoint! It is a pre fix menu that comes with a soup. It is also a BYOB, wine or beer. The waiter set up a small raclette melter-machine on our table. The cheese comes with cured meats and some vegs and potatoes. We had fun melting the cheese and pouring it on top of the potatoes and such. My favorite was the jar of cornichons the waiter put on our table. My only con about this place would be the price. I felt it was a little expensive, but given that you can BYOB it offsets the price. We would definitely return!

Lucky to be in beautiful Montreal dropping our daughter off at McGill. Had heard about La Raclette and jumped at the chance to go. The three of us usually pore over menus deciding what to get. But here we just shared with the server what we enjoy and what we don't eat. Our amazing server perfectly recommended the right combination of fondue and seafood for a happy delicious feast. We enjoyed every bite including their iconic dome chocolate dessert. I don't write many reviews. But the ambiance, service and food were all perfect. I had to post! Highly recommend.

Oh, my. La Raclette was excellent. So, my husband and I were staying in an Airbnb in Montreal - our first trip to the city. We were walking from our Airbnb to the closest métro station and we passed La Raclette. Since I lived in France at one point, I know and LOVE raclette. My host mom made it a few times and it was always super fun and amazing. Since they didn't open until 5:30 p.m., we decided to eat dinner there on our way back from our afternoon of sightseeing. I was super impressed with everything La Raclette was doing. First of all, they are BYOW so you can walk one block, grab a cheap bottle of red or white, and bring it back to the table. Yum. Second, their entire menu is a prix fixe. You can order two or three courses, which include a soup + entree or soup + appetizer + entree. Since you're eating at La Raclette, you MUST order raclette as your entree. Here's the deal: raclette is a type of cheese from Switzerland that is melted and poured on various meats, veggies, and tubers. The raclette "maker" works like this: you have a metal tray that is either inserted or placed onto a hot, metal surface with cheese on top so it melts and gets super gooey. You then take this gooey, melted cheese and pour it all over the meats, veggies, and tubers. The raclette entree comes with potatoes, assorted veggies, deli meats, cornichons, and bread. Pour at will and enjoy. You will NOT be disappointed. I absolutely LOVED this place and would go back in a heartbeat if I find myself in Montréal some time in the future. I totally missed raclette since I had only ever experienced it in France, so I was so excited and France-homesick to have raclette in Montréal. The food here was delicious, the service was fantastic, and you can BYOW so your bill is only like $50CAD for two people. WORTH IT.

Great experience for our wedding anniversary. Had the 2 course meal with soup and fondue. Everything was delicious! Then got the chocolate dome a la carte for dessert to share. What a nice touch and the combination of the chocolate, caramel, ice cream and fruit was perfect. Nice restaurant and our server was very friendly and helpful. Good street parking around the restaurant as well.

I have been in La Raclette always on Friday or Saturday night when the restaurant is packed with large groups that I have been part of too. May be this is the reason I can not imagine this place as a perfect location for romantic dinner. Regardless of how busy is the restaurant the service is prompt and attentive, and the food is served timely. The restaurant focuses on traditional Swiss raclette and fondue, but there is also an amazing choice of appetizers and main courses that are cooked to perfection and are regularly updated on the menu. The food is ordered as small or big full course meal options. Highlights of my last visit are the red peppers soup and deer tartar. The raclette portion is very generous and preparing it is fun. For those who plan to eat raclette, research and choose carefully the wine pairing options. The restaurant is BYOB and the experience may be more authentic if you have the correct wine, white wine from Switzerland or alternately Austria was a perfect choice and it can be found in SAQ.

English will follow Apportez votre vin, abordable, très bon. Idéal pour une atmosphère chaleureuse. Nous étions un groupe de 16 personnes et je crois qu'il y avait plusieurs groupes ce soir-là. Le service s'est montré à la hauteur et courtois malgré le défi que la soirée présentait. Abordable : il offrent deux choix de table d'hôte, la petite table et la grande table. La petite table est moins chère et n'inclut pas l'entrée et le dessert. Mais une soupe potage est incluse (j'ai aimé). Notez que c'est un apportez votre vin, mais qu'ils n'acceptent ni bières ni spiritueux. Ils offrent d'autres plats que la raclette dont des bavettes, des carrées d'agneau et de la fondue (pour deux personnes min.). La portion de fondue était très généreuse! Nous ne l'avons pas terminé! Elle vient avec des tranches de pain, quelques légumes et des charcuteries. Il est possible de choisir le type de fondue, échalottes, champignons etc. Le dessert, j'ai choisi la mousse au chocolat était très bon. Un peu cher pour un dessert (à la carte environ 10 $), mais on pardonne, étant donné que c'est un apportez votre vin, que j'aurais très bien pu prendre la grande table et que les portions sont grandes. Je n'avais plus faim et c'était clairement de la gourmandise! **** Bring your own wine, affordable, very good. Ideal for a cozy atmosphere. We were a group of 16 people and I think there were several groups that evening. The service has risen to the occasion, was courteous despite the challenge. Affordable: two choices of table d'hôte are offered, a small table and large table. The table is cheaper and does not include the first course and the dessert. But a soup is included (I liked). Note that this is a BYOB, but they do not accept beer or spirits. They offer other dishes including raclette, bavette, square lamb and fondue (for two min.). The fondue portion was very generous! We could not finish it ! It comes with slices of bread, vegetables and meats. It is possible to choose the type of fondue, shallots, mushrooms. The dessert I chose, the chocolate mousse was very good. A bit pricey for a dessert (à la carte about $ 10), but it is all forgiven because it is a BYOB and I could have taken the big table, plus the portions are large. I was not hungry and it was cleary indulgence!

The brunch menu is bit more pricey than your average breakfast place around Plateau, but the BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle...of wine, not liquor) makes it a good place to have a nice group brunch with mimosas. The food is okay, I wasn't overly impressed with my choice, but other people seemed to enjoy their meals more than I did mine. The service is nice and friendly and the place atmosphere is great. It's definitely a good place to have a weekend family/friends/date brunch.

I haven't had fondue this delicious since I was in Paris. My best friend and I dipped everything in that amazing pot of cheese until we couldn't go any further.... And there was still good left. Very generous, fresh food. Tucked away in a small neighborhood, it was very quiet and romantic.

Heaven. Just what I wanted on a chilly night in Montreal. We had the small meal, which came with a stellar spinach and mushroom soup topped with fried onions, followed by the raclette of course. The raclette was delicious, as always, with excellent accompaniments, including 3 kinds of cured meats, potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, peppers, and cauliflower. And the standout unique touch--thin slices of apples that seemed to have been soaked in cider. They were so delicious. The wait staff was attentive and friendly, and the space was warm and quiet, making for a bit of a romantic setting on a cold night with lightly falling snow. It is BYOB so we were able to bring a split of a really delicious wine that reminded us that we really need to pay more attention to wine quality on a daily basis. No complaints, I'd go back tonight if I were still there.

This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Montreal. I have been twice now and both times were exceptional. For a fixed price, you get an appetizer, soup, unlimited bread, entree, dessert, and coffee. The prices are beyond reasonable for the amount of (amazing) food that you you get. Food is as good as or better than anything I've had in Boston/NYC without the rip-off factor. Both times I had the flank steak, which comes with sauteed green beans and these hashbrown-like crispy potatoes that are to die for. I've also had their mushroom soup and regular dinner salad (which is loaded with figs and some fun cheeses) and both were awesome. The one thing not to miss, however, is the Raclette. Ask for extra peppercorns, you will not be disappointed. I know few things better than a slab of baked, melted cheese on a plate. It's served with a side of gherkin pickles, which sounds strange but the combination is really incredible. I have also had tried their creme brulee and chocolate torte, both fantastic. It's BYOB, which of course always helps keep our wallets happy! And they never judge for bringing a bottle per person :) The services is always over the top as well. Their menu is in French only, however, staff are always helpful with the translation. The ambiance is beautiful too; it's a small neighborhood joint that is near downtown but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of everything. It's quiet and outdoor seating is available in summer (and its really cute!) Definitely check this place out; I will definitely be back next time I am in Montreal!

Have been here three times and enjoyed it each time. Sharing the raclette wheel is best with a group of four. The salads, sides and desserts are creative and consistent. Bring your own wine.

So good! Had the 3 course meal and it was super filling and delicious! Recommend he Raclette or fondue - and the chocolate dome!!

Fantastic! The appetizers I had was a salmon Tartar and its taste and flavour deserves a 5 star review on Yelp!

Incredible. Anyone staying in the touristy heart of Montreal should find time to grab an Uber or take the metro down to this place for dinner. Our Uber cost us less than $10 American and the BYOB was an interesting experience you don't really get anywhere in the U.S. The food was INCREDIBLE. We all got the 3 course dinner and the beef was the favorite of the table for sure. No wifi here, but it was okay because it encouraged us to all enjoy each other's company. One of the best dinners I've had in a LONG time.

Delightful meal in a lovely little restaurant. It's "bring your own wine" which is very nice since you can pick something you enjoy and pay much less for it. We had the raclette which is such a fun and delicious way to enjoy large amounts of melted cheese with a nice assortment of vegetables and meats. Our waiter was very pleasant without being overbearing. It was the most memorable part of our weekend trip to Montreal.

Its always pleasant experience dining at La Raclette. The foods are consistently good, the service is always prompt and friendly. The fact that they are BYOB is another great plus, it is now my fave resto in Montreal.

The best meal we had during our trip to Montreal. Didn't try the fondue or the raclette but still really enjoyed what we got. I got the daily special of braised wild boar shoulder & my girlfriend got the lamb chops with caper & thyme sauce. Both were truly exceptional. You can tell they take great care if using quality ingredients and cooking techniques. Service was also outstanding and very attentive. Although, we didn't partake, the Bring-Your-Own-Wine is a really nice option.

Sweet ambience and delicious cheese fondue - I also love that it's BYOB. You choose between a small (around $26) or large (around $36) 'table d'hôte.' or any main dish. I'm sure the appetizers and desserts must be good but I've never been even a little hungry after the small version, which comes with soup before an coffee/tea after the main dish. Minimum 2 persons/orders for the three fondu options on the menu.

First time trying a raclette and i wasn't so bad. Its a BYOW restaurant which is a good point. We were four people. I was the only one who took the grande table d'hôte so i had the beef tartar with two bread croutons that were burned.So i asked for a waiter, not ours, if i could have other croutons and my boyfriend asked for more bread and butter and the waiter was so rude and so sarcastic it wasn't pleasant at all. When he came back with my appetizer he said that these croutons were the last ones in the kitchen.. Something i hardly believe. The other people took the petite table d'hôte and they liked their potage à la courge. I tried it too it was good indeed. Two of us had the Raclette duo and the two other took the émincé de veau and another main dish i can't remember the name but i know that the meat was lamb and that it was grilled. My boyfriend who had the grilled lamb dish asked for it to be medium cooked and it wasn't, it was more like well done. The restaurant itself is noisy but you can still have a conversation, it's dark and cozy just not a place for a romantic dinner, more like a dinner with friends.

The place to go for a warm cheesy treat to get through the loooong Montreal winter. Service is excellent and the food - it's melted cheese so you can't go wrong :)

I am an incredibly picky eater, so a 5 star review from me is rare. We went here for dinner and because it was the Saturday before Valentine's Day, we ate off the special Valentine's Day menu. We were seated at a table which had rose petals on it...nice touch. Now, I am not a red meat eater, so although the menu was exceptionally limited for me, I know from experience that I will like any of the seafood options they have, which I did. I would love a chicken option, but chicken has never been on the menu in the 7 years we've come here. The jar of pickles and onions they serve to each table is one of the reasons we dine here...they are the bomb. The bread is incredible, and each portion of my meal was fabulous. Our waiter, we found out later, is the artist who created the oil paintings hanging on the walls and they are so cool looking. He was fun, attentive, and knowledgable. I love that it is a BYOW restaurant. The entertainment was perfect. Perfect for the venue. A couple playing a bass and an accordion. Her voice was angelic and they were not playing loudly, so it quietly complimented our experience. The owner gave each party a box of two truffles...and I just finished mine today...delicious! What a tasty, genuine, beautiful experience all around. I swear, we drive up from New Hampshire just for an excuse to come to this place. A true favorite.

Our meals were very good, however, I'd be lying if a said I was wowed by this place. The fondue dishes, while tasty, were not overly distinguishable from other fondues I have had at other places. Our table was also not large enough to comfortably seat four people who were sharing fondue dishes. I'd be inclined to try La Raclette again, but I think I might order something other than fondue next time.

Great restaurant, delicious food and superior service. BYOB. Nice little store for beer and wine around the corner. Enjoy!

My favourite high end BYOB in Montreal. I mostly eat my Vancouver version of vegetarian, meaning I eat fish. The fish here was probably the best I've had in Montreal. The table d'hote was well worth the money. Choose the chocolate mousse for dessert. The service was friendly and attentive. Good for groups or intimate settings. All four of us really enjoyed our meals. The lamb shank was another favourite.

It was a warm, sweet, charming little place on a corner. We were greeted and served by the owners themselves who take great pride in their little gem of a restaurant. And we all agreed it was probably the best meal we had in Montreal.

Great quiet place with fantastic service and food. All the recommendations were spot on. Definitely need to come back again. Had the raclette as appetizer and perfectly cooked liver. Yum!

This is my husband's and my favourite restaurant in Montreal. It has a warm and cozy ambience and the staff and owner is top notch. Food is rich, wonderful and everything you'd expect a memorable night out in Montreal to be.

Service and Food is AMAZING! They now offer raclette right at the table, it's unreal! It's a MUST have dining experience in Montreal.

Went for the European style raclette dinner, it was amazing, with great service, nicely done decore and atmosphere. Portion size was just right.

We have been to La Raclette many times and it is one of my family's favourite restaurants in the city. The restaurant's is named after the shareable Swiss dish of melted raclette cheese served with various meats (e.g. viande séchée), potatoes and other vegetables, and pickles (cornichons). However, the restaurant is so much more than the raclette -- we always order their other various menu items that change seasonally. This weekend we also had the beef tartare and shrimp cocktail to start, as well as the pork Schnitzel and New Brunswick black cod as mains, all excellent as per usual. We had the chocolate cake and hot chocolate dome for dessert, which were amazing and is no surprise since the very talented chef is also a trained patisserie. The outdoor terrace is also a very romantic in the summer. In September, we booked the restaurant for a private party to celebrate our marriage as the restaurant can be booked for private parties of about 60-80 people. The event went amazingly well, we were extremely pleased with how the event was planned and executed by both the management team and the chef, who also created our amazing tiered wedding cake. So many of our guests complimented the food and we were happy to share our favourite restaurant. La Raclette might not come up as a trendy Montreal restaurant, but as avid restaurant patrons to many various restaurants in the city we consider this spot a not-so-known secret spot. There is a reason the restaurant has endured years of operations, and we are happy to share this place with others. La Raclette is highly recommended. *** Nous sommes allés à La Raclette plusieurs fois et c'est l'un des restaurants préférés de ma famille dans la ville. Le restaurant est nommé d'après le plat suisse partageable de Raclette fondue servi avec diverses viandes (par exemple la viande séchée), pommes de terre et autres légumes, et cornichons. Cependant, le restaurant est tellement plus que la raclette -- nous commandons toujours leurs autres menus divers qui changent selon les saisons. Ce week-end, nous avons également commencé de tartare de bœuf et le cocktail de crevettes, ainsi que le Schnitzel de porc et la morue noire du Nouveau-Brunswick, tous excellents. Nous avons eu le gâteau au chocolat et dôme de chocolat chaud pour le dessert, qui étaient incroyables et ce n'est pas une surprise car le chef très talentueux est aussi une pâtisserie formée. La terrasse extérieure est également très romantique en été. En septembre, nous avons réservé le restaurant pour une fête privée pour célébrer notre mariage car le restaurant peut être réservé pour des soirées privées d'environ 60 à 80 personnes. L'événement s'est très bien déroulé, nous avons été extrêmement satisfaits de la planification et de l'exécution de l'événement par l'équipe de direction et le chef, qui ont également créé notre incroyable gâteau de mariage à plusieurs niveaux. Beaucoup de nos clients ont félicité la nourriture et nous étions heureux de partager notre restaurant préféré. La Raclette pourrait ne pas être un restaurant branché de Montréal, mais en tant que client de restaurants avides de nombreux restaurants de la ville, nous considérons que cet endroit est un endroit secret peu connu. Il y a une raison pour laquelle le restaurant a subi des années d'opérations, et nous sommes heureux de partager cet endroit avec d'autres. La Raclette est fortement recommandé.

Found this place through an internet search during our weekend in Montreal. The food and service were excellent and the prices very reasonable. Having lived in France, I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic the food was, especially the fondue and confit de canard. Also loved the crème brûlée! Our only complaint was that we didn't realize beforehand that this is an "apportez votre vin" establishment, so make sure to bring your own wine if you want a glass with your meal. Otherwise, a great place to dine in a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist areas of Montreal.
