Review from Rick C.

So for our first dinner while visiting Montreal, we ended up at L'aromate. We originally had reservations at L'express because of some yelp reviews, but L'aromate was closer and recommended by our concierge.
It was awesome. We were starving, so the table side olives and bread were a good start. We had the herb crusted calamari for an appetizer after the waitress was a less than enthusiastic about our other choices. It was good. Not a bad start.
For our entrees, I had the steak frites. Steak was a little over cooked, I ordered it medium rare. The fries were ok, but the au jus that came with made the dish. Tasty.
Now, my wife's duck confit linguine was awesome. Best dish of our trip. Duck confit, mushroom fricasse and linguine..So good. We almost ordered two.
We finished it off with a sugar pie, which was a bit much. Should have probably gotten something else. We also had a few glasses of wine and had a great dinner. Everything was reasonably priced and we would definitely go back if we return. -

I arrived with my group of 4 at your location downtown on Saturday Feb. 11th. I was very dissapointed with the outcome of your hostess service. 2 of my group first came in and waited to be seated.
As there was no hostess, they sat themselves. I then came with my partner and waited 10 minutes at the entrance area and there was no one to confirm our reservation and seat us. This is considered a high end resto, you would think that a hostess would be present to welcome us and confirm our reservation?
Ate the end of our meal service, I had to go see the hostess who was chatting in the back to ask her if she can confirm me in the system as I had reserved through OPEN TABLE and her response was "Oh well that's going to take me forever to find you in the system?"
Excuse me????? I am a customer that spent 260$ at your restuarant to have your hostess comment me this? I don't think so, her response should of been "Of course, what is your name i will take care of this right away and ensure you receive your Open table points".
I constantly eat out and I have never received such poor service like this, I am so insulted. -

Had a very high-end meal at Bistro L'aromate in their new location on Maisonneuve Ouest.
The restaurant is beautifully designed, its new, cool, lots of young wealthy people hanging around, and a bunch of babes that work there.
Upstairs it's a little quieter and private- we were coming in with a group of 12 and placed upstairs by the bathrooms (not great) but were moved to another table over looking the downstairs of the restaurant.
For the most part people were ordering surf+turf which was presented as you'd expect (it had better be @ 80$ a plate) and came with a little bit of lobster, a filet with mashed potato, and some scallops.
I think our waiter had the feeling this was going to be one of those "expense your business" dinners and was a little pushy with the wine suggestions. One person wanted a glass of Port but instead he brought out a bottle of desert wine insisting we have that instead- of course the majority of the table jumped on that bandwagon and he pops it quickly (oh look...it was 375$). The type of stuff that would really drive me nuts if I was paying with my own dough. That doesn't make it OK, though.
We had also called ahead and left a CC number for the meal to be charged to - but the restaurant didn't know how to place the charge without having the physical card there. They said they couldn't do it- but obviously they could....so it just took them apprx. 30 minutes to figure out how.
The meal itself was delicious in every regard - diners just need to be diligent and make sure things don't get too out of hand with those drinks! -

This is an incredible bistro in Centre-ville in Montreal. It is located in a good location just off of Rue Sainte-Catherine. It was so good I went their twice during my recent visit.
The service was wonderful and the staff quite pleasant.
The food was delicious. The first night I had the lamb shank and the second night I had the beef tenderloin. Both had plenty of taste and melted in my mouth.
The house green salad had good taste with a variety of flavors that made for a sweet salad.
Now I don't usually like olives, but the olives that are brought out with the bread were just delicious. They were in some balsamic vinaigrette that was quite tasty and sweet also.
A great place to have a wonderful dinner with Montreal flavor. -

I lived in Montreal for 3 years and once I found it this became my favourite restaurant.
Great food, and a pretty nice menu (lots of good options done in interesting ways). Sounds weird, but this has the best Caesar Salad I've ever had. Just beautiful.
Also very comfortable there. White table cloth, 3 dining areas (street level, downstairs, and upstairs, but still very open feeling. Great servers too. They know their stuff, are all french first, but are either fluent in english, or make a great effort to speak english (which is even better in my opinion) .
I typically eat for free for work, and I'll take L'Aromate over Montreal's high end steak houses any day. -

This is a very nice little bistro on Peel street. I couldn't really decide between the lamb and one of the fish dishes so I decided to go light and ordered the Red tuna sashimi on an angel hair noodle roll, roasted in olive oil, teriyaki sauce and capers. The angel hair noodle roll sounded intriguing. This is just as it sounds. Angel hair pasta rolled up. There are some thin crispy noodles and I think some onion strings to add a cruchy texture to the dish.

Was here with 5 girlfriends on a last minute dinner reservation. We had heard good things, but our experience was better than expected.
Hostess (both on the phone and in person) very pleasant and kind with our call at 6pm on a Sat night wondering if any cancellations came up. Restaurant itself is quite modern, well decorated, classy. Crowd mostly 40s and 50s, groups of 2-6.
Prices of entrees were in $20-30+ but they had a prix-fixe 2 course (appetizer and main) with options between $21-37. Great value.
Favorites of the table included: duck confit, lobster bisque (appys), lobster risotto, steak frites (mains). Portions are fairly substantial.
Service excellent with the right amount of attention to details and following-up our meals. Would definitely come again. -

We came in only for a drink well knowing that you can't really find a decent lounge or place to have a nice glass of wine downtown. Good wine selection. Excellent mousse de foie de volaille. But fix the door and remove the condoms from the liquor bottles. Overall, go there.
