It was over proved for what it was. my boyfriend steak was a reasonable price, but his steak was tough. And both meals were missing salt and slightly cold. Our server was nice however it did take forever to get our meals. And very crowded very tight spaces so most of the night we kept getting bumped by other people or servers. The ambiance was nice but a little bit noisy. And the decor seemed, cheap... For a fancy restaurant I don't think they had anything that actually costed the amount that a fancy restaurant would be, besides the food... Anyway, I'm not big on steak so I can't really say more than what I have to say.

We had the snails first, and this was already a filling piece of deliciousness. The humongous chocolate cake as dessert was not really on the same level as the rest of the meal. It was quite very normal. Special mentions to the crispy fries too.

I enjoyed the presentation and the 3 sauces that came on the side as well as the mixed vegetables. It was a little over $100 but it was a huge portion so you could share among 2+ people. I also got the salmon tar tar entree which was okay. I think the texture was great and the salmon was fresh. But personally even though I love raw fish eating a whole portion of it like this was too much. The oysters were $1 CD a piece but they were very small and some barely had any meat. But overall fresh tasting. Overall the service was amazing and the presentation was beautiful.

We tried the non-alcoholic guava mule. The guava was nice and sweet and complimented the spicy of the ginger beer. We ordered a French onion soup, steak Diane, and a beef Wellington. The entrees came with choice of salad. We tried one of each , house Gibby salad and the blue cheese wedge. This was a lot of food for us. The French onion soup was my favorite, good flavor, lots of onions and that nice browned cheese top. Both salads were good, the house salad was a little lighter since the blue cheese wedge salad had a rich blue cheese dressing and bacon bits on top. The steak and beef Wellington was also good. In general, we ordered medium rare, it was a little bit rarer than I expected but not I'd edible. So something to think about if you need your meat to be cooked more. The prices seemed fair for a steakhouse and for the amount of food we ate.

I had really high expectations for Restaurant Monarque and was hoping it would completely blow me…read moreaway. While the food was delicious, the overall experience fell just slightly short of what I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Service was the main area that didn't quite meet expectations. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before receiving menus and had to ask for them. Throughout the meal, interactions felt a bit rushed - several staff members who stopped by the table were somewhat brief, and on a few occasions, items like bread or water were dropped off while we tried to ask questions, but the busser had already walked away. That said, the restaurant was quite busy during lunch, so it's possible the pace and attentiveness were impacted by that. As for the food, we ordered the albacore tuna appetizer along with the strip loin, butcher's cut, and duck for our mains. Everything was well-prepared, though the duck portion was noticeably small. Desserts were a highlight - especially the pavlova with maracuya, which was excellent. Our server Laura was professional, though not very engaging until the very end of the meal when we were settling the bill. I would still return, as the food is strong, but I have to say that Bar George left a more lasting impression on us in terms of both food and service.

This review is for the Brasserie. I especially wanted to try this place to get my foie gras fix and…read moreit was really good! I only wish the foie gras and the bread were served warm. The bone marrow with snails was also good, but the combination was a little weird. I liked the bone marrow. I liked the snails. But served together took away from enjoying each part on its own. The duck was roasted to perfection. The skin was so crispy and the meat just fell off the bone. Same goes for the braised veal cheeks. There was no bone to fall off of, but the meat was so tender and just came apart as soon as I pressed down with my knife.

We started with spinach dip - was supposed to be served with corn and taro chips, but we only got…read morestale corn chips. The dip was served in a chipped soup bowl which had obviously been microwaved as the edges of the dip were literally hard and stuck to the sides of the bowl. My guest had a burger which was cooked so thoroughly that the meat was dry and hard and despite asking for no onions, her burger came with onions. I ordered shrimp and lobster rolls - what a mistake! No lobster, only small (I think canned) shrimp. The seafood had obviously been frozen because it was wet and completely flavourless - served on top of two hard, dry little buns. This restaurant should be ashamed of the food quality here. The service was poor - they could not possibly have cared less about my reservation for 2. Our order was taken, food was dropped off by a runner and we never saw our server until it was time for the bill - we had to ask the hostess for ketchup - no refill was offered on drinks. The decor is tired. The tables are chipped and the faux leather seats are peeling from wear. Just avoid. We were $100 for 2 people (no alcohol, only one Diet Coke), and the food was the worst I've had in a while. Yuck.

Tables are jammed so close together you end up shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, dodging servers and elbows the whole time. It's noisy, cramped, and stressful -- the opposite of a relaxing meal. Layout makes no sense: tiny two-tops shoved beside high-traffic zones, larger parties squeezed into corners with zero space to move, and some tables practically touching the entrance or washroom hallway. You feel rushed before you even sit down. Chairs are hard and wobbly, there's no room for bags or coats, and you're constantly getting bumped because there's barely an aisle. If you value personal space, forget it. Service suffers because of the overcrowding. Staff are hustling but clearly stretched thin, so basics lag -- water refills, cutlery, checking in after food arrives. Food comes out at odd intervals and cools fast in the drafty spots. The noise level is cafeteria-grade; you end up shouting across the table. Accessibility is an afterthought: tight turns, blocked paths, and nowhere to park a stroller or mobility aid without being in someone's way. This isn't just my night, either. A lot of other reviews for the Saint-Bruno location say the same things: overbooked, packed in, chaotic atmosphere, long waits even with a reservation, and staff forced to manage a floor plan that puts turnover ahead of comfort. The pattern is pretty clear -- maximize seats, minimize experience. If management wants repeat customers, they need to pull tables, widen aisles, fix traffic pinch points near the door and washrooms, add soft surfaces to tame the reverb, and stop overbooking peak hours. Until then, there are plenty of places nearby that won't make you pay to feel like you're eating in a hallway.

The newer name means "flavors of the continents" when translated into English and that probably has a better ring to it than the previous name. The dishes here go all the way from 2 to 5 stars, so that averages out to 3.5 stars, which isn't so bad considering how much choice they offer. Mostly I take from the Canadian-North American, Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern food. They also have a staffed grill where they can cut you a nice little slab of meat. They have a section with Asian food and I also noticed a sushi area, the latter of which is beyond my line of demarcation. This is why, as I've said on the previous review, you will be breaking bread with people from 5 continents. (Should there be a token Australian in attendance, that would take it up to 6 continents.) The service at Saveurs des Continents is fine. Be sure to engage the server in such a way that they don't forget you and won't clean off your table while you are going up to the buffet line to get another plate of food. (I've had that happen up at St. Jerome once, and the place was far from full.) In this case, the server and I spoke Spanish and he didn't mind at all because, after all, this is Montreal and it subscribes to the concept of a "cultural mosaic." Bring it on. There is also a person who will come around to take a drink order, but I go with the included coffee or tea. With all that said, the pricing scheme is fair. It is slightly different depending on the time of the day and day of the week. The pricing includes a gratuity to the tune of about 12.5%, if I recall correctly, that they distribute to the employees. You are free to give your server a little bit more if you choose to. So, in revisiting Saveurs des Continents, I'm going to go with 4 stars. They offer a lot of food choices across a broad spectrum, fair pricing, decent service, and a unique brand of quirkiness and diversity that you don't easily forget. Also, with REM joining the Metro system and Exo commuter trains, this newer light rail system can take you from the city to the south shore. Your stop will be the Panama station and, from there, there is a pedestrian underpass and path that goes to the shopping center with this buffet. One thing is that it will be easier to get back home with the light rail and not think of having to adjust your tilt steering wheel upward. Finally, if this American manages to come in here once on each visit to Montreal area, then this Saveurs des Continents is more realistically a 4 star sort of place.

But not wanting to sit up or downstairs all stems from bad luck hubs and I have had and treated like the forgotten kids at other restaurants. Negative. As in the name, Mignon S. is a steakhouse lovers dream in a petite version. Yet, it still offers a filet mignon- because why not?, a burger, your beef tartare, a couple more steak dishes, a mac, a fish dish, etc- along with the veggie sides. Decent. The space is intimate and modern and the ambiance is happy. What's not to like? My Lychee Martini had great Lychee juice but the alcohol substance was nil. Hubs said the same about his Negroni. Our 5-shrimp cocktail was the silver lining. They were juicy, fresh-tasting and topped with a light hand of cilantro micro greens. Service was wishy-washy and knew we wanted out after finishing our appetizer.

More than enough food for the 6 and everything was cooked perfectly- octopus wasn't chewy and the meats were super flavorful and tender. They were very accommodating to dietary restrictions as well. They had a DJ and lively atmosphere after dinner so we stayed and got bottle service. Fun spot with great food is always a winner in my eyes.
