Delicious quenelles

Saint Valentin

Unforgettable meal at this cozy authentic place! Wonderful service by the he hostess/owner and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! We will surely be back!

This restaurant was wonderful. The food tasted extremely fresh and was well prepared. We got a seat by the fireplace and the atmosphere was super romantic.

Conveniently located just across the street from la Maison Radio-Canada, the food and service were both great !

Pretty cozy and relax restaurant. The food was excellent.

The restaurant is very intimate and cosy. Authentic cuisine fron Lyon (one of my favorites). Great food and service. Reasonably priced for the quality. I had the quenelles and my partner the blood sausage, we both enjoyed our meals and will be back to explore the rest of the menu.

Chef prepared a prix fixe menu selection of three tantalizing offerings at excellent value. A nice wine list provided a variety of French wines by the glass to pair with each course as well as price by bottle options. I chose a Bordeaux and was surprised by a petit appetizer trio to delight the pallet. The first course was a salad verde or soup de jour. I chose the the lentil soup which was dressed with a dollop of Creme Fraiche and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, delicious! The Main course options includes fish, beef and a pork sausage and legume salad. I chose the fish which was a pan seared monkfish drizzled in a lemon butter caper sauce, accompanied by a medley of perfectly prepared broccoli, bok choy, carrots and parsnips. Incredible! The wine I paired was a Louis Latour Chardonnay which was perfect. Classic French dessert options including Creme Brûlée followed. The meal was lovely!

Really lovely French restaurant where we were welcomed warmly. My gluten free needs were accommodated with a smile.

Absolutely delightful dinner.
Very traditional French cooking done very well and served with pride and care.
Small place. Not flashy or "scenery" I loved it!

I’m tempted to tell folks not to go here-
It would ruin it if “discovered.”
Amazing find -the best meal we had in Montreal.
Warm hospitality, delicious food, great value .
If we return to Montreal we will definitely eat here again

We were surprised it wasn’t busier on a Saturday night. Two tables of eight and two tables of two. Our server Veronique was absolutely terrific.

Very amicable service, food was quite good. Space is cosy, with a nice backyard patio. Overall pleasant lunch experience.

Je me suis sentie à Lyon le temps d'une soirée sur une terrasse en arrière cour très conviviale ! L'œuf en meurette était très bon, j'ai juste été quelque peu déçue par les quenelles dont la sauce Nantua n'avait pas tout le goût qu'elle aurait dû avoir mais le Morgon Château Pizay m'a fait oublié ça ! À refaire sans hésiter !

Great food, amazing service, and a wonderful experience. Absolutely loved it!

Le comptoir lyonnais est un délicieux restaurant, que je recommande chaudement !

We arrived very early for our reservation but they seated us quickly. The service was very pleasant. The food was delicious without being pretentious. The wine selection was very good. The location was very easy to get to from the Metro, so this is a very nice option for people from out of town. I would go again next time I visit the area.

We are so lucky to have so many great restaurants in Montreal... and especially in our neighbourhood. Comptoir Lyonnais is one of our favourites. Prices are reasonable and meals are always delicious. We are never rushed and the place is never too busy to provide warm and efficient service. We'll be back.

Les plats étaient délicieux et le service irréprochable. C’était calme, il y avait de la place, la nourriture était typique lyonnaise, je reviendrai!!

Excellent food, relax and frienly ambiance. Server explained the menu and was very helpful. Small hors d oeuvre were delicious.

Good food, local style from Lyon (France) and romantic ambiance.

Très bon accueil. Service impeccable et chaleureux. Nourriture excellente.

We want for lunch and it was good, each meal had something special. Not cheap but not too expensive too. If you go there, take your time, enjoy the fireplace and the view of the Jacques-Cartier bridge by night.

The restaurant wasn't very busy. We diners were spread around the room and it made for a more intimate experience. There was a gorgeous fire and each table had a blanket in case it got chilly. I had the table d'hôte of a green salad, salmon with risotto and a brownie. The entire meal/ambiance was relaxed and friendly. I want to go back

Excellente nourriture lyonnaise, très bon service chaleureux et un délicieux vin rouge. Une belle soirée!

Excellente nourriture, belle présentation et prix raisonnable

Very good food! The French onion soup and the porc were both amazing.

Had supper with my friends and had a tasteful meal and very good service! It's worth testing it.

Super service attentionné.

Excellent petit resto très bon service atmosphère agréable et paisible

Inexpensive. Casual. Friendly. Personal.
Delicious 3-course dinner selections.
Comfortable outdoor courtyard.

Great service, waitress was awesome, food was as good as some of the best meals I have had in Paris, very reasonable prices.... we will be back when we are in Montreal!

Wonderful food, service and value. Skip Saint Catherine and walk an extra block - well worth it for truly excellent French cooking.

Good, authentic French food from the Lyon area (quenelles, homemade cured meats). Attentive service. Very good experience.

Très bonne cuisine, dans un atmosphère agréable. Menu Lyonnais intéressant.

Staff lovely . food overcooked
Owner offered a new meal and free water. Perhaps we hit anoff night .

A priceless gem - unassumingly and quietly competent - a classic bistro with excellent service, food, and drink. Veronique (one half of the husband-wife ownership team) masterfully served all of the lunch diners without a hint of a faux pas, while her husband plated elegantly simple yet masterful meals for all. The private selection of wines were perfectly suited for the lunch menu. Perfect for a tête-à-tête, lunch or dinner with friends, or date night with your spouse/partner.

Wonderful food and wine. A very authentic Lyonnaise restaurant. We shall revist whenever we are in Montreal.

I will definitely come back. We loved the restaurant.

Really enjoy the dinner. Food and service was amazing!!!
