    We went twice during our trip and would recommend to anyone! We first went for lunch and had the best French onion soup I’ve ever had in my life. Our waiter Andrew was wonderful and so kind as to recommend several other dishes, so we ended up changing our dinner plans the final night of our trip to return. The salmon tartare, mushroom cavatelli, lamb steak, and profiteroles were all 10/10. Big thank you to both Andrew and Tony for top notch service and recommendations!

    Dear Caroline, we have shared your review with Andrew and Tony and everyone at Pois. Messages like yours mean a lot. Kind words inspire us to do better. On behalf of all of us, thank you for taking precious time to write and post such a nice message. You have a second home in Montreal! Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité

    Excellent food and service. Sat us near the kitchen at the back. Asked for a better table but no luck. Entertainer was fantastic.
    Le Pois PenchéResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Brenda and Jim, Thank you for your kind review. Sorry that we couldn't find a table away from the open kitchen. Some guests love the action there, others prefer a quieter spot. Please, make a note next time you book with us and it'll be our pleasure to accommodate. We have also shared your message with Matt Mardini, our crooner, and thank you on his behalf. He performs every Thursday, from 7 pm till closing. All the best, Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité

    Exp globale bonne puisque nous connaissions déjà ce restaurant avec cadre agréable. Néanmoins, le personnel devrait mieux connaître la carte. Le serveur nous a dit que le babaganush était chaud avec le saumon, alors qu’il était froid. Nous avons précisé lors de la resa qu’il s’agissait d’un anniversaire de mariage pour nos 40 ans Résultat: rien , même pas 1 bougie sur un petit gâteau , dommage. Autres chose: quand vous mangez vos plats, voir vos desserts, c’est désagréable d’avoir l’odeur du canard du voisin!!!
    Le Pois PenchéResponded on June 26, 2025
    Bonjour François, SVP, acceptez nos excuses les plus sincères pour ces faux pas. Nous allons parler immédiatement avec notre équipe pour comprendre ce qui s'est passé. Ce n'est définitivement pas normal ! Nous vous remercions pour votre loyauté et regrettons d'avoir raté cette belle opportunité de bien célébrer avec vous. Nous espérons pouvoir regagner votre confiance. Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité

    Music could have been a little lower in volume, and it would be nice to have tablecloths on all the tables, but the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Fabulous wine list with a very helpful sommelier. Couldn't ask for a more wonderful evening.
    Le Pois PenchéResponded on June 26, 2025
    Hello Juliet! Thank you kindly for your nice review and positive feedback. Some parts of the restaurant can get noisier than others on Saturdays, and some tables only have exposed wood tops. When you make your next reservation, please, let us know that you prefer a quiet table with tablecloth. It would be our pleasure to make your visits more enjoyable. All the best, Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité
