text: I just do not get this place The concierge in our hotel advised against LExpress however we went anyway after looking over all the glowing reviews nnIt was not terribly busy as we had a late reservation pm As New Yorkers we get great French cuisine anytime and were dying to try it out in Montreal This place had the ambiance of a maroon color painted truck stop diner We had the warm goat cheese salad ok steak frites good the lobster risotto good and orange panna cotta type of desert bad The portions are much smaller than what we Americans are accustomed to Our bill was approx CAD with a bottle of wine not including tip Service was friendly although painfully slow how typical of the french We even had a French Canadian local tell us to stay away from French food in Montreal he was right nnSo to sum it up it was just average not worth the price and really nothing to write home about New York does French way better Please see Balthazar Les Halles Pastis Le Gamin the list goes on
