L'Express - French Bistro Restaurant in Montreal

By Jane McLean, About.com

L'Express Restaurant, Montreal, Overview:
L'Express is a place to see and be seen. The busy, classic and reasonably priced French bistro is thick with people and occasionally attitude - a turn-off to some patrons. Nevertheless, I know of more instances of efficient and friendly service than of rude or dismissive treatment.

Arm yourself with some basic French phrases and experience this bright and bustling bistro that is featured on many Best Montreal Restaurant lists.

Be sure to call ahead for a reservation (514.845.5333).
L'Express Menu:
Authentic, unpretentious French bistro cuisine, including:
  • Steak tartare

  • Fish soup with Gruyere croutons

  • Potted chicken pâté
L'Express is also known for its impressive wine list. Many wines are sold by the glass (Cdn$6-$12) or half-bottle ($15+).
