Amazing food, surprisingly affordable price and awesome staff!! We truly enjoyed every bite and…read moreleft so happy. Three of us got Brie casserole and onion soup as appetizers and Duck leg confit and Bison steak. The taste was a pure blessing. Our absolute fav was Brie casserole. The staff were incredibly nice too- if you're a visible miniority you'd know that you sometimes experience a passive racism, but I truly felt welcomed and taken care of by the staff. Restaurant was quiet and beautiful too. Additionally I've personally always found French food's portion small in Toronto and Paris, but this place surprised me!!! Each meal came with good portion of salad and fries and the price was really reasonable, trust me. I feel like I'm writing so much to make it feel like its a paid review but we paid with our own credit cards.

We loved both of our visits to Restaurant Le Bistro Montebello! This place is very popular with…read moreboth locals & tourists. A reservation is definitely recommended. We showed up for our reservation an hour early hoping to get a table since we were hungry. The hostess warmly greeted us & got us a table quite promptly even though the place was pretty full. Our server was so kind to offer and try to translate the 3 course menu which was posted on a board attached to the wall. She did a wonderful job & we appreciated her attempt. My husband ordered the steak frites and I had the bison flank steak. We both asked for it to be done medium rare & the temperature came out perfectly. The creamy shallot sauce that came with both dishes was a big hit! Good enough to be bottled. The rebellion blue cheese on the bison steak added a nice richness to this dish but was not heavy or overpowering. The quartered potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Stella beer my husband ordered was beautifully poured with a good amount of head & from a clean tap. The ambiance of the place was just right. Lively but not too loud. We came back the next day for their wood fire pizza. We weren't a fan of this as our preference is Neapolitan style but we were impressed as this the only place that served our first slice to us on our plate. It was a nice touch! I also had their French onion soup as a starter and it was sooooooo good. We would definitely come back here again & would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and amazing service.

This is a superior Quebec Casse Croüte, with an excellent and varied menu. Its location is not…read moreobvious from the street, for it is integrated with a gourmet cheese shop, Fromagerie Montebello. There is both interior and patio seating, overlooking the Ottawa River. My wife had French Onion soup and Caesar Salad, while I had ordinary casse croüte fare: burger and fries. Other patrons had wine and beer with their orders. The place is family-friendly, and there were at least ten children, nine years old and younger, eating with their families. Only sad note? The place is seasonal, and closes for the winter after Labour Day.

Oh man! I know it's…read more"just a casse croute" joint...but then again, it is totally NOT JUST a casse croute joint. Happened upon it thanks to recommendations from our awesome CM Risa (who told Mariko, who told me, who told... U get the picture) because it happens to be right in primo hiking and camping territory right off the highway (117-N). (Like literally RIGHT off the highway: SLAM ON YOUR BREAKS! OH NO, YOU MISSED IT! OH MAN, HAFTA GO BACK AROUND! ...and it is SO worth it, so do go back around if you miss it lol.) This seems to be a little family run spot. Son is definitely the best at providing friendly, sweet service, Dad's not terrible but not super bubbly or anything and Mom ...well she's a weird one, but it seems like once she recognizes you service becomes sweet and very attentive all of the sudden, so bonus points when you come often! And luckily the food is just so damn good that finding excuses to come back is really not an issue. Been here a few times now, hands down it's their Special Burger with the absolute win, don't even argue w me! Burger: let them all dress it for you "the special", a delcious seasoned homemade pattie (albeit small, but so tasty) topped with cheese and hot peppers and tomatoes n lettuce n onion, their special house creamy sauce, and ALFALFA SPROUTS?! WHAAAAAT?! Fking LOVE that about this place. Ive tried their other menu items and (still have a few to try), but so far I can't not order at least 1 burger here when I come. Fries: o-m-f-g-excellent by themselves, unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the result in the poutine, but maybe we ate our poutine too fast and needed to give it time to let the flavours marry a bit better. I just keep ordering the fries by themselves though, small in portion, but HUGE in taste! Homemade Pogos?! : that's right folks, they take hotdogs and dip them in their own homemade batter and deep fry scratch pogos for ya on the spot! They are really good, but really tiny and expensive and essentially just taste like an ordinary hotdog in a really damn tasty dough. Chicken burger: hmmm the chicken was really good, but had an odd texture, same toppings as the Burger so that's amazing too, but the bun is slightly too big and the chicken slightly too weird for this to be something I'd order regularly. They also boast many vegetarian options here too like the pogos and veggie dogs and I am told it's amazing, but I'm not buyin into that, gimme the meats! Price is quite expensive for a little road side truck stop, but the quality and love put into this food makes it worth every penny spent so I can't even remove a star for that. There's one tiny bathroom which is not ideal, but does the trick. There's outdoor seating and 'indoor seating' (screened in dining area). And also a kyoot space for kids to play (swing set). This place is quiet at the beginning of the season, but gets busier as summer goes along. We were always in and out within 10-15 minutes, though. Even if it took longer I would still give this place 5 stars the food is that amazing. Perfect little pit stop. A must-stop for sure and I even recommend going out of your way for this. Dammit. Now I want another burger and fries.
