    MTL à Table menu 2023
    Aimee H.

    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.

    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 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.

    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!!

    Raclette dinner with cured meats.

    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.

    Cheese fondue

    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.

    Cheese fondue

    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

It's in a very nice neighborhood, Outremont, which is worth walking around in. My only complaint would be because they have a lovely open air terrace, I was being bugged by bugs.

The host was welcoming and friendly, but unfortunately, we didn't have the same experience with our server. They weren't very warm or attentive and never came back to check on us, ask how the food was, or see if we needed anything. It felt like the customer service was lacking. The French toast absolutely lives up to its reputation and did not disappoint. The caviar eggs Benedict was just okay. The pancakes that accompanied the caviar were too soggy, which took away from the dish. Overall, I would come back to try the dinner menu because the atmosphere and some of the food were great. I just hope the customer service is more attentive next time.

    BEST "BYOB" FRENCH BISTRO DURING RECENT TRIP…read more This is the best dining experience in our recent Montreal trip. I'm glad we made reservation since the place was quite packed when we arrived. To be honest, our first impression wasn't too great. We were seated in their main indoor dining area which was a bit too warm. We asked if we can be moved to their fully covered / heated patio area, but unfortunately the restaurant was full. Fast forward 15 minutes, we have placed our order and were enjoying our bottle of wine and a basket of bread. Our server came over and offered to move us to the patio area since a table had opened up. We were pleasantly surprised because (1) we didn't ask again and (2) most restaurants wouldn't change tables once customers started eating/drinking. The restaurant setting is unpretentious with a casual and cozy vibes. The staff are so friendly that we feel like having a family dinner! They offer a pre-fixe menu in which we thoroughly enjoyed! For appetizers, the escargot dish gave us a pleasant surprise. They wrapped the escargots and blue cheese sauce in a thin crispy crust! It's hard to describe, but it's sort of like having an escargot "crepe"! The few main courses we chose were excellent, and the rack of lamb was probably our favorite - tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. As for dessert, their creme brulee was one of the best I've had - creamy custard topped with a perfect, crisp caramel top. I'd highly recommend this place, and will certainly visit again when I'm in town next time!

I do recommend making a reservation on open table prior to coming. Here is what I think of the food: Seasoning is generally saltier but not too overly. Escargot or the snails is yummy. It comes with the option of cheese on top. Dressed heavy with olive oil and garlic. They remove the shell so it makes it approachable if you were nervous about trying. Cheese & Charcuterie board is as what you imagined. It can't go wrong. Rack of Lamb was good. I do recommend highly. It comes with our 4-5 bones worth of protein with potatoes & veggies. Lost track of how many bones because it was eaten so fast. Duck confit was average. Let me explain, duck was average but the amount of spinach I gotten and how potatoes on the plate was good. Sides out shine the protein here. Side of Foie Gras was perfect because I was worried about having too much food. It did come on a small plate because it's a side dish and it was fatty and salty. Intermission was the best cocktail of the night. Fruity with a star anise on top so you smell it while drinking it because it was so close to your nose. Jazz District was okay. Overall, I do think this restaurant site fairly between 4&5 stars. Do try it. I would come back for special occasions and it's not an every night meal.
