Review from Elise K.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Bistro Florin on Grand Prix weekend. We had tried to get into O'Thym without a reservation, but failed and were wandering. We noticed this cute place (very new at the time) and found that it had a great outdoor seating area in the back of the restaurant.
The staff was amazing. They spoke both French and English and we believe the owner is from France
We started with drinks and an appetizer. I had a nice white wine. We had an escargot in a puff pastry - to die for! My main was a grilled salmon with veggies. The fish was perfectly cooked and dressed with a tasty (but fattening) French buttery sauce. We split desert.
We left a few hours later after having a leisurely dinner and completely satisfied. If I lived in Montreal, I'd be here much more often. I look forward to going back and hope it stays around for many years! -

We highly recommend eating at Bistro Florin. The food, ambience, and service is superb. The food is simple, but delicious "French Country" style cuisine. It was originally recommended that we eat at Au Pied De Cochon, but could not get a reservation. Second on the list was Le Deux Gamins, who ended up closing that day due to a gas leak. So we just headed out of the hotel to see what we could find by chance. As we walked on Amherst we looked to the right and there was a menu board propped up at the entrance to what looked like an outdoor bistro. We found that it was the outdoor space opened for dining in warm weather.
After being graciously seated our waiter brought over the menu, and because it was dark read and described every item to us in french. I understood everything, even though I speak very little french, (Julia C. would be proud). When I said something in English our waiter apologized to me and spoke to us in English the remainder of the meal (which I did not expect him to do). For appetizers we ordered the rabbit and a bowl of the seafood soup that were both excellent and large for an appetizer. For a main course we had the bœuf bourguignon and were going to order a second entree but were told that the entrees came with a choice of soup or salad. So we chose to have the mushroom soup and still paid for a side salad. The mushroom soup was also excellent and the bœuf bourguignon was too.
For dessert we had the profiteroles and a raspberry tart, which were good. We also had a half carafe of wine. When our bill came we were pleasantly surprised to see the total less than $70 for two. -

Amazingly we just walked in and got a table. Personal service. Robust pricing but also robust portions. Should have saved some room for dessert!

I highly recommend this Bistro on amherst montreal, Its brand new the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. I love the ambiance and the owner is awesome. They told me they will have a terrace for this summer :) the great thing is they change the table d'hôte several times during the week so you don't get bored of the same menu. Finally great food with a great price .
