le filet

this place is amazing, every dish is the perfect mix of flavours. it was hard to find it because is hidden, but definitely the bestrestaurantin montreal.

are you kidding me???. having lived in montreal for the last 40 years and considering that i am the biggest foodie andrestaurantrecommender of all my friends, i am embarassed that it took me so long to try out this jewel of a place. from start to finish, we were treated with such attention and gracious servers, water filled every time the glass was almost empty, after each course the staff asked us how we liked each dish. very impressive. the food?? omg, every mouthful is an explosion of flavours, primarily seafood driven, so intricate i really cant tell you the specifics of each plate except that each one (of 6 different plates we tried) was just as good if not better than the previous one. deserts to die for. am i a fan? absolutely. will i return? you can bet your sweet foodie i will!! the owner, graciously greeted us when we arrived, presented himself and was at the door when we left to say goodnight and ask us if everything was to our satisfaction. on 10? i give it a 20! bravo le filet! i will be coming back again and again. if you have never been, prepare yourself to be in heaven for a few hours!

food, service, and atmosphere. all 3 were present upon my visit to le filet . food - exquisite, service - impeccable, and décor - understated, yet sophisticated. though not new to the montrealrestaurantscene, le filet has definitely not lost its splendour.

bestrestaurantin the city. great food, great service. wonderful experience!

my favoriterestaurantin the city by far! portions are fairly small and ideal for sharing. everything is delicious and service is great. it is pricey but weeeelll worth it!

what a meal!. traveling to montreal for business, le filet had been recommended to me by a local who was well aware that le bernardin in manhattan is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. i eat there whenever i can afford it and never thought arestaurantcould come close to their cuisine. le filet has and in some instances, surpassed what le bernardin has achieved in my humble opinion. in fact, i was last night, humbled by the cuisine at le filet. standouts - lobster, scallop salad, and fluke. stunning. for the price, i can afford to fly there just to dine again. very reasonable. if i had one complaint it is the high level of noise. it was loud but it was crowded with high demand for tables. well worth a visit.

fully equipped with a small terrace for warmer days, therestaurantembodies haute cuisine in almost every way thanks to the careful attention to detail in the meticulous presentation of food, the well-trained servers and the overall decor of the place. walking in, you immediately notice the long bar, the open kitchen closer to the back and the mesmerizing three-dimensional photographs of seafood, illuminated by a backlight behind the bar. very cool. la piscine - champagne and campari we sat down to a pint of st. ambroise and one of le filet's only cocktails, la piscine . made with campari, champagne and a hint of orange, it is satisfying as it remains rooted in classic cocktail territory and pleases the palate in a not overly sweet but bubbly way. flounder with japanese prune, wasabi and cucumbers le filet advocates a tapas style way of dining which suited us just fine. we like to shar

400$ for 2 people. i was so excited to discover a nicerestaurantin that area. at first, the waiter kinda forced us to order all plates at once and strongly recommend one of the most expensive bottle of wine... it's kinda weird... the food is good, service is not great, very expensive. therestaurantwon't last very long. its the kind ofrestaurantthat you feel that you don't belong there....

i heard of le filet through a post on montreal for insiders and knew i would want to try this one out right away. club chasse et pêche is one of montreal's great restaurants, and a newrestaurantfrom the same owners was full of promise. i reserved pretty far in advance (2 weeks) and am glad i did as therestaurantwas packed.
