    Wonderful authentic French dishes. Very interesting spin with the crème brûlée fois gras (loved it) and all the beef/lamb dishes were excellent (especially the fillet mignon). The rabbit wrapped in dough was very earthy and delicious. Chicken with Bri is right up my Alley because I believe Bri should be a food group, but if you are not in love with Bri, steer clear of this one. It was so yummy!! Excellent service, but a bit slow. We are American tourists and are very much used to the in and out exp, but this is meant to be a relaxed dining experience, meaning the comment about speed or lack of it is more us than the restaurant. A bit pricey, but quality, creativity and all the yummy decadent sauces and desserts made it all well with it!

    This is a fabulous restaurant. Everything from the menu, service, ambiance, and menu. We dined two night and had the tasting menu the first night and followed up with entirely different choice the 2nd night from the ala carte menu. The souffle is out of this world.

    Frederic and his staff are amazing. I was by myself, he recognized me and gave me the warmest welcome. Also gave me a wonder window seat that just opened up. The chocolate chip soufflé is my favorite and always get that at least twice whenever I visit.

    We eat at Bonaparte every time we are in Montreal. The food is generally excellent. We had the Degustation Menu, which was very good except the duck breast had gristle in it.

    Traditional French cuisine done right. Enjoyed our waiter George. Nice wine selection by the glass. Perhaps our best meal in Canada.
