   We went to Bonaparte when we visited Montreal with kids. And it was truly an Unforgettable culinary experience, including great service and ambiance. We’ll definitely be back to this restaurant. Highly recommend!

   I went there with my family to celebrate my birthday. The service from Frédéric and Pascale was beyond excellent they wished me happy birthday and made me feel very special. They took the time to explain each item on the tasting menu and each wine pairing. The plates where visually pleasing some was missing a bit of salt n pepper, but overall the food was very good.enjoyed my experience there.

   Bonaparte was a very nice night out. It felt a little stuffy at first and our table was in a bit of a tight spot very close to another, though a couple that came in after us was offered a choice of two tables. Ultimately it wasn’t a terrible spot. One ordered à la carte and one of us ordered the tasting/wine pairing menu. A number of the dishes on the tasting menu needed salt - the lobster bisque and the lamb main course were a bit bland. The roasted duck breast main course was delicious. Desserts were all wonderful. Wine and cocktails were all very good. A fun splurge meal overall.

    Lovely place to eat a fine dinner. Pauline was our server and just delightful. We had the tasting menu earlier in the week so had ala carte this time. Mushroom ravioli is stupendous. Lobster bisque was good, not the best we’ve had. We will return!

    I felt special the moment we walked in the door. It was my birthday and it was immediately acknowledged. We were quickly seated at a beautiful window booth which felt like the best seat in the house! Our server was excellent and friendly. The presentation of the food was beautiful! I had the tasting menu and highly recommended it! Perfect sized portions. The meal was one of the best that I’ve had in a long time! Delicious!

    I took my fiancé there for his birthday dinner and we ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings as sort of a foodie adventure. The wax sealed menus are a nice touch. The goat cheese tapenade was probably my favorite course, and the pear tarragon sorbet was a nice palate cleanser before our filet mignon. Unfortunately he found cartilage and bones in his rabbit turnover, but otherwise we tried several new things, most of which were tasty. Next time we would likely just get a bottle of wine we like rather than the pairings, some paired better than others and some just were not our style (as happens with a tasting menu pairing). Our server was tied up at other tables most of the night, but Jean Michel was really wonderful!

    We waited over 2 years to return to dine at Bonaparte during our visit to Montreal, and as usual it did not disappoint. We did not encounter any of the service problems stated in other reviews, and this was on a night that a group took up several of the tables. Our service was well paced, with never a long wait between courses. The food was excellent, consistent as always over the 20 odd years we have been dining there. I started with the lobster salad, tender morsels of lobster with a salad lightly dressed with a hint of maple. My daughter had the mushroom ravioli as usual. We both had the duck breast cooked to perfection with a rich, but not heavy sauce, again with the flavor of maple, and an assortment of local vegetables. Nothing was left on either plate. We finished our meal with a light, fluffy chocolate chip souffle, with melted bits of chocolate. It was a wonderful meal at a restaurant that is well worth the visit while in Montreal.

    One of the best dégustations outside of Paris that I have had. The place was beautiful, the staff were professional and friendly, and the food was outstanding. We were there for three hours, and time flew by even for our 11 year-old. It’s also in a very cool location in Old Montreal. Highly recommend.

    This is a tough one because my experience was better than my partner’s! …well, except that my French 75 was unbalanced, with far too much lemon. My appetizer of terrine was beautifully presented and delicious. The special of trout was a poem, with a wonderful citrus sauce. My boyfriend was less enthused however; he claimed the lamb chops were too soft, as though over marinated. He asked for a glass of wine twice and later, while eating dessert, the waiter asked him if he still wanted the wine! Apropos of dessert; the key lime pie was unlike any I’ve ever had and not in a good way. What do you get for ordering key lime pie in Canada?

    Liked some of the food on the tasting/pairing menu but overall was not impressed with food, service or the wines that were offered. Big big lulls in between plates, lobster bisque was very bland and had to ask for salt and pepper, which I had not thought would be required. One of the tastings we had to send back (vanilla shrimp and scallops as vanilla overpowered the dish) and got nothing to replace it. White wines offered were not great and some had to be sent back. Servings were very small. Some new dishes came to table and dirty dishes had not been removed. Would not partake in a tasting/pairing there again.
