    Our experience at Restaurant Bonaparte was phenomenal. From the minute we entered the restaurant we were treated with exceptional service. The ambiance was romantic, intimate and comfortable. We shared ahead of time that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They sat us in what we believe was the best seat in the house, at a window overlooking the gorgeous streets of Old Montreal and tucked in a quiet corner. We enjoyed the tasting menu with wine pairing and everything was delicious. It was an array of flavors, all complementing each other from one to the next. The wine pairings were perfect and truly heightened the experience. We especially enjoyed the mushroom ravioli, filet mignon and lobster stew. For dessert we were even treated to a variety of delicious treats with a sparkler to celebrate the occasion! We dined for over four hours and never felt rushed. We were catered to with kindness and care. We will remember this experience for years to come and hope to return again - from start to finish we rate our time at Bonaparte with FIVE STARS. No complaints, only happy memories!

    Food was excellent and we were remarking on how great the service was - until someone (who seemed like the owner) sat down at the table next to us and three servers only paid attention to him. We had our dessert menu for 15 min before someone came back to ask if we wanted anything, and most of the desserts take another 20 minutes to make. Bad ending to an otherwise great meal.

    The food and ambiance were excellent, but I feel that the restaurant should market itself as a fancy upscale formal destination. I felt uncomfortable not wearing a jacket as the dining room and decor was screaming for one. This is one of the finer restaurants in Montreal.

    Once a year, on my birthdate, I take myself to have a very special meal, sky's the limit. Unfortunately, I was not able to keep with my tradition during the periods that the restaurants were forced to close due to Covid. I made my list if where I was going to take myself and after reviewing their menu, this was where I decided upon. I've been here before (many years ago) and remembered it was top notch. I was not disappointed. Everything from the ambience, staff, service, food, presentation and room were esquisite. I was surprised that they all knew it was my birthday. I had 2 orders of their creme brulée and pan seared foie gras, then the magret de canard. I savored every bite! Thanks to everyone at Bonaparte, I had an awesome birthday!

    We were greeted very warmly by one and seated by another very friendly gentleman. The ambiance is quite nice and we had a table by the window. It was a bit cold given the extreme cold outside though. I was pleasantly surprise when the waiter offered us a damp warm hand towel as soon as we sat down. A nice touch. The menu is a little on the expensive side but of quality and a nice variety. I was a little disappointed when my kir mousseux glass came half filled with bubbles; I tried mentioning it to the waiter but he didn’t catch on to my comment. I think one should pour it such as to not give half wine half bubble. Later, the same waiter cut me off mid sentence as I was talking about the menu to say he’d be back with the drinks first, he surely didn’t mean to but it felt abrupt and uncomfortable. I thought maybe he was nervous and felt busy…He was otherwise polite and pleasant. The accompanying vegetables to my duck confite were minimalist, gourmet style therefor artistically plated. I appreciate that but someone who has a big appetite would not. I rated the noise level average simply because there was an infant close by (I love babies so I didn’t mind) as well as a table of 5 or 6 in the middle of the room and one women was a loud talker. Nothing the restaurant can do of course other than seat large groups less central. I definitely recommend the Bonaparte and would love to return some day.

    This is my second attempt at a review, in case I failed to save/send the other. We were delighted with Bonaparte and its attentive team of staff. The timing of service was impeccable; the wine list is extensive; our appetizers and mains were excellent. The execution of the soufflé was a work of art; it is the best we have ever seen. We followed our server's suggestion and shared it; it was perfect for two. We look forward to exploring more of the menu on a return visit.

    I had a salad with different types of lettuce, endive and radicchio and a lovely salad dressing - just the right amount of dressing. This was followed by a classic beef tartare done to my taste. I ended with an apple pie. My husband had the potage St-Germain then the duck cooked to his liking. Superb food in a relaxing atmosphere.

    We had such a lovely incredible dinner together at Bonaparte. I was nervous about my restaurant choice for some reason, but I absolutely had no need to be! It was a very posh occasion for us and I'm sure we stuck out like sore thumbs but our waiter and the rest of the staff was so kind and treated us so well, the food was delicious (I especially loved the rabbit pastry appy) and had duck as a main which was beyond delicious. Also the key lime pie we had for desert was actually insane with the most delicious meringe!! I loved the orchids on the table too.... Definitely go if you're looking for a romantic and special moment with a loved one <3

    Our most recent visit to Bonaparte was an unforgettable experience in the best way. From the greeting by the Maitre d', to the opening toast, the waiter Frederic, flexibility with the menu, every single round of food was exquisite and jaw dropping... and the ambience was perfect... not quiet, not loud... everyone there celebrating things... we spent a small fortune, and yet it felt completely justified and well spent. I can't say everyone should go to Bonaparte every time you are in Montreal, but treat yourself and loved one at least once in your life.

    We spent a good evening. Moreover, I want to share several concerns: - considering this dinner took place the Valentine's day, it would be great to ask the ladies about their choice in first, not the men. The same for the service. - The waiters were very present, cutting the conversation each time they interacted with our table. For example, the water service should be done by the left of the guest, behind it, not in front of it. - The foods were too industrial, specially the bisque, the meat, the sauces, or the deserts. Considering the price, it would be great to serve some home-made meals. - The waiter was totally ignorant of the quality of wines served at glass. Even if he didn't know something about the expensive wines, a basic culture could be great to help the guest for the basic choices.

    Hubby and I love going to Bonaparte on date night! They are wonderful to accommodate me as a person with Celiac disease! They even make their own gluten free bread (which is delicious) and will be very careful with my food. The ambiance is perfect, the food delicious and the service is excellent. You feel very special from the very first welcome. Love this restaurant and highly recommend!

    My sister and I visited Montreal this weekend and had the food and wine tasting at Bonaparte. It was amazing all around! Our server was a very charismatic, knowledgeable French lady. She knew the options in and out, was able to offer advice on the options, gave useful recommendations, and just really made our experience so much better. I would rate her 10 stars out of 5 she was so great. For the food, I literate had nothing I hated. There were a few things I personally was not a big fan of, but it wasn’t a problem with the food. The pastry items were perfectly flaky, the flavors all complimented each other, the wine was all paired perfectly with the dishes. ZERO COMPLAINTS.

    Overall the food was amazing. The only disappointment is that the tasting menu is actually more expensive then ordering the items separately. I suggest just choosing what you really want off the menu. The desserts were not fresh or home made; the taste said it all.
