L'Express

"The food is nothing new, but it's all done well: grilled salmon on a bed of spinach, a mean steak frites, beef marrow served in large bones. Squint and you're in Paris."

"L'Express is the closest thing Montréal (and maybe even Canada) has to a Parisian bistro." Full review

"The essence of Montreal dining, with marble tabletops, a long narrow bar, and great, unpretentious French bistro food. "

"Open since 1980, the restaurant is still the spot for expertly prepared French classics such as the generous pot-au-feu or the citrusy octopus-and-lentil salad." Full review

"Black and white tiled floors, walls the colour of wine stains, paper–covered tables and those little bitter pickles sent from heaven."
