Overview

Montreal's best-known French bistro enters the 21st Century with its reputation firmly intact: flawless cuisine, imperturbable if somewhat Parisian service and a smoky, some would say loud, atmosphere. The menu rotates somewhat, and there are always daily specials, but l'Express is best known for the standards like pâté, foie gras and bouillabaisse appetizers. The wine list contains exclusively French wines with reasonable prices for your enjoyment by the glass or by the bottle.
