Review from Calamity L.

Les Filles du Roy was the highlight of our stay in Montreal. It was recommended to us by a friend who had been there twenty years ago(!) and it made such an impression on him that he insisted we try it.
It would feel amiss to assign a decor to les Filles, as it has no air of any conscious staging, but rather the organic aesthetic of a fine manorial home that is hundreds of years old. The atmosphere is simply exquisite--both quality, with silk curtains, stately gilt appurtenances, and massive, carved antique furniture; and comfortable and lived-in, with unplastered old stone walls, an inviting fire blazing beneath the imposing mantel, thriving Boston ferns, ancestral portraits, and even charming avian residents, including Pedro the Blue Macaw, Chico the African Grey, and Coco the Budgie.
The service was similarly impeccable--our server was charming, attentive, and friendly.
The food was excellent, hearty Quebecois fare--the hot, rich goat cheese puff pastry was particularly welcome in the freezing weather! My dining companion ordered the maple cake for dessert on the recommendation of the server, but I passed, not being a fan of maple--and I deeply regretted after I tasted it. The maple flavour was very delicate, the texture was airy and creamy, and it had some description of delectable crunchy flakes in a middle layer.
Now I want to return in order to stay in their rooms! -

While visting Montreal, we picked out a nice restaurant to have our last dinner at before the trip back to Vancouver. After walking by the restaurant during our adventures in Old Montreal and seeing the exquisite decor in one of the oldest buildings in the city, I pressured my friends to come with me for dinner here. I was amazed by the beauty of the decor in each room of the restaurant, it was gorgeous! The tables were all pretty with white tablecloths and baskets of bread so I felt like a real lady! We shared a half litre of red wine, and I ordered the filet de boeuf grille, which was delish!
Our server was wonderul, he had a good sense of humour and was very attentive to our needs, not that the restaurant was super busy, but he was very gracious. We escaped the table to take a peak at the other rooms in the restaurant and giggle at how small and cozy the restroom was. I am heading back to Montreal again this year, so I am hoping to stop in and try something else on the menu. -

Les filles du roi is a highly rated restaurant in books and this website. I found the service to be exemplary and the décor to be charming, old school style. But the food wasn't that great and neither were the main dish selections. My appetizer was made from filo dough and stuffed with honey, goat cheese and walnuts. It came with a spinach salad. This was the best part of the meal and very yummy tasting! Then I had the stuffed rabbit. It wasn't that tasty and I personally think "Comme chez soi"'s rabbit is 100 times better. My colleague had the traditional Quebec food platter and mentioned that most of it was tasteless too. So overall, I would avoid this place given the price to taste ratio.
