Rough Guide Star
"Of Montréal’s plentiful top-notch French restaurants, Leméac is one of the finest – as much for the classic food as for the classic ambience."
National Geographic "Really well-made classic French food; open late; satisfies midnight cravings for rillettes (preserved meat) and chèvre chaud (goat-cheese salad)." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "An elegant bistro that serves French fare from lunch until late night." Full review
Frommer's "For dinner or weekend brunch, this classic bistro is competent, elegant, yet refreshingly at ease" Full review

3927 rue St-Denis (At rue Roy), Montreal, Quebec H2W 2M4, Canada
From $1/night
Concierge "The food is nothing new, but it's all done well: grilled salmon on a bed of spinach, a mean steak frites, beef marrow served in large bones. Squint and you're in Paris."
Fodor's "L'Express is the closest thing Montréal (and maybe even Canada) has to a Parisian bistro." Full review
Insight Guides "The essence of Montreal dining, with marble tabletops, a long narrow bar, and great, unpretentious French bistro food. "
Travel + Leisure "Open since 1980, the restaurant is still the spot for expertly prepared French classics such as the generous pot-au-feu or the citrusy octopus-and-lentil salad." Full review
BlackBook "Black and white tiled floors, walls the colour of wine stains, paper–covered tables and those little bitter pickles sent from heaven."

"If you're looking for the true Parisian bistro experience in Montréal, look no further than L'Express." Full review
i
There was even a secret, more interesting --- and more affordable --- wine list that customers in-the-know would request.
Michelin Guide "Chic and classic, this is a prized institution on the Montreal dining scene."
DK Eyewitness "This almost perfect re-creation of a Paris bistro is extremely popular for its lively ambience with good and reasonably priced food, plus a great wine cellar."
Frommer's "No obvious sign announces L'Express, with its name only spelled out discreetly in white tiles in the sidewalk." Full review
National Geographic "Handwritten menu just like in Paris with white tablecloths, mirrors, noise level, and service to match; kitchen open late to accommodate après-théâtre rush for classic steak-frites; cold meat plates" Full review
