If you are looking for fun dining in a laid back atmosphere, Cinquieme Peche is a must-try. They serve lots of local, organic ingredients in their dishes and the result is a delicious, interesting, and exciting dinner experience.
Most of the dishes contain meat so vegetarians should be aware. My boyfriend and I don't eat red meat or poultry so we ordered the only vegetarian option on the menu - the sweet potato gnocchi - and the only fish option on the menu - the striped bass. Both were delicious and creative. The gnocchi came on a bed of kale and mushrooms with a light sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top. The striped sea bass came with the most delicious puffs of cauliflower puree that almost had the consistency of marshmallows....(very, very good). It was also served on a bed of vegetables and grapefruit which worked very well...
As an appetizer, we had the smoked salmon which was smoked right on the table with a tiny smoker. We thought that was pretty cool. The salmon was fresh and it was some of the BEST smoked salmon I've ever had.
For dessert, we shared a chocolate and date mousse with chocolate cookie crumbles on top.
We asked the server for a wine recommendation and she recommended a delicious bottle of organic wine that went perfectly with our meal.
The service was impeccable. Our server was so nice and really attentive even when the restaurant became really busy.
The stars of the restaurant are definitely their meat dishes however. We saw some of the other (meat) dishes coming out and we were so tempted to try some meat dishes that night. If you are a meat eater- you must try this place! -

My Au Cinquieme Peche's dining experience is just complete opposite of Au-Pied-de-Cochon's.
I called twice regarding my reservations and my calls were always answered promptly by a nice gentleman who is exceptionally accommodating.
I love ACP already right when I walked into this cozy, rustic farm house setting... with no menu aside from what on the board. The same gentlemen being our waiter offers to take my jacket... yes please!
The vibe here is laid back and no people rushing around... the setting is intimate and quiet with mostly locals...Service is attentive and sincere... definitely not a "tourist" scene. I like that!
ACP's menu has limited choices but what we ordered seems to all nicely plated, prepare with care with the local ingredients.
Saumon fumé - $11
- "Smoking" Salmon Sashimi nicely presented on a smoking vent
Ris de Veau (Veal Sweetbread) - $31
- Deep Fried Dumplings Stuffed Sweetbread
Cheese cake et confiture de prunes - $8
- I never really like plums.. but this is delicious... tart of the cheesecake goes well with the light sourness of plums
The staffs are just so knowledgeable with every aspect of the menu and wine list... This is one of the time I enjoyed listening to my waiter goes on and on about the ingredients and the preparation of each dish... (the accent yes!!)
Au Cinquieme Peche is just a perfect ending to my weekend in Montreal.. and one of the place I don't mind a repeat visit... Really, they have "seal' on the menu...Listed in: April 2012 Challenge: The…, A Weekend in Montreal!

Au 5ième Péché continues the pleasantness of wonderful services in Montreal.
Truly unexpected to the point of skepticism prior to the Joy of being served upon.
Beyond knowledgeable, absolutely charming, English bilingual service everywhere.
Professionalism that leaves my Hometown service staff something to be desired.
Saumon fumé Minute (Minute Smoked Salmon)
Clean and simplistic with added sensory playfulness in presentation.
Fusion in concept, bringing Japanese elements to a Canadian classic.
Light scent of Smoke permeates from metallic contraption to our noses.
Sashimi, both visually and texturally with essense of Smoked Salmon.
Ris de Veau (Veal Sweetbread)
Noteable as the Chef's Piece de Resistance we forego the Canard dish.
The Sweetbread itself is fried to the classic technical specifications.
It relies on the crisp Pancetta as textural contrast support to the softness.
The sweated Vegetation beneath was delicious enough to stand on it's own.
Observation alone reminds me of styles from the American South.
Cheesecake aux Pruneaux (Cheesecake with Prunes)
You've read correctly, Prunes! Prunes! Prunes! Did you take a step back?
Considering the factor of my Friend's health from luxurious rich Montreal intake.
Best to keep her health regulated before she overdoses again in Toronto.
The compote with whole pieces give a chew Apricot-like with the flavour of....
Remember when you first had the taste of Prunes? Yeah~Listed in: 3.5 ***Stars***, En Français

Thank you Food Network for encouraging me to be more daring when it comes to food; Thank you 5ieme Peche for providing the opportunity!
As an appetizer I had Duck Heart Tartare. That's right, RAW duck heart. It tasted a lot like Beef Tartare with a little special something.... Delicious!
As a main course I had Sweet Breads! I have had these many times; this place made them every well.
5ieme Peche regularly serves "organ meats". Many people are grossed out by the idea of eating animal innards but truthfully they are quite underused and unappreciated (especially by us "spoiled" Canadians and Americans). Once you get passed the idea you will truly appreciate and enjoy them! 5ieme Peche definitely is the best place to explore! -

Hands down incredible. Every time I go.
Don't even bother looking at the wine list. Every time we go, we just ask for a recommendation to go with our meals- and I'm always blown away by the variety, quality and price (as in the cheapness) of what they bring out. Always super polite and helpful as well for both the wine lists and the actual daily menu.
The food is consistently inventive and amazingly delicious - everything from seal, to fried veal brains - elk to duck. All done perfectly and in ways I hadn't expected.
Definitely a solid must go-to place. The neighborhood is great for a drink afterward as well. -

Fine, inventive, surprising and delicious French cuisine. They use the finest local products and even the waiters are very knowledgeable about the origins of the products and the complex ways in which they are transformed in the kitchen. It was an enlightening and delightful experience.
That's what cuisine should always be: constantly re-invented by a smart and passionate chef. -

This restaurant is a MUST TRY in Montreal. It has very few, but good reviews. Read about it in one of the blogs. We decided to give it a try and we can't believe the type of food they serve in such a simple but quaint little place in Plateau Mont Royal. The severs were very nice to explain to us in English all the items in their chalkboard menu. We have tried more formal dining places than this restaurant, but the food they serve here easily beats the more expensive stuff we tried in those, sometimes pretentious, places. It's THAT good. I had the tiramisu for dessert. It looked like a deconstructed version but it tasted wonderful. The price was very good for what they serve. Presentation and service were excellent. This is one place I will definitely go back to when I return to Montreal.

I stumbled upon Cinquieme Peche last night with a friend. As we were strolling in the Mont Royal neighborhood, it started pouring heavily. We ran into the first place that looked reasonable, mostly to avoid the rain. Our lack of planning, as it turns out, paid off. Cinquieme Peche is a small, highly imaginative French brasserie serving a limited amount of starters and entrees off a chalkboard menu. For our starters, we had the seal (yes, the kind that clap and do tricks) tartare and a lobster broth with scallops, mussels and pancetta. The tartare was interesting, the meat itself is fairly bland but the texture was pleasant and went well with the capers. My lobster broth was subtle but pleasant. As for the mains, I had the filet served with broccoli rabe, escargot and gnochi. An unexpected combination but was perfect. My friend had the sea breem, seared on a pan and finished off in the oven. It was served with artichoke puree and roasted fennel and a light tomato sauce. Outstanding. The owners, two brothers, are from France and have been operating this restaurant for 7 years now. Although it is expensive, I would highly recommend it.
