Come taste a savory meal at Restaurant L'Express. They are open at night all week. You can get there by bicycle and public transit and visit them in an area known as stimulating, historical and green.
A classic like L’Express in the Plateau is perfect for Mother’s Day. This Montreal institution has stood the test of time – their jar of gherkins waiting on your table is classic L’Express, as is their dishes, which haven’t changed much since this Parisian bistro opened in 1980. Their veal and mushroom ravioli remains a signature dish, as well as their onglet steak with shallot butter, and please don’t forget their steak tartare, prepared exactly like it would be in France.
The waiters in aprons, the black and white checkerboard parquet floor, the tables close together, the white tablecloths, the mayonnaise boiled egg and maple profiteroles are enough to make Parisians (just a bit) jealous!
Restaurants come and go in Montreal but L’Express remains. This French bistro opened in 1980 and they have been wowing patrons for years.
