Bistro Florin - Montreal, Quebec

Our online reservation went unconfirmed, and when we arrived, the restaurant was closed and the space is for rent. The phone goes unanswered. It will be missed by many...

Excellent dishes, very good value for money. Courteous, friendly and fast service. I recommend Bistro Florin without hesitation.

Very good and good value for money, the decor deserves a good refresh to make everything perfect!

This gem is tucked away in the heart of downtown. Here you will find a cozy Bistro with a lovely terraced courtyard, with leafy vines and strung lights adding to the warm ambience. Your server will bring you a chalk board presenting the daily menu. The bistro specializes ... in creative takes of classic French food; the dishes were artfully arranged on the plates and tasted as amazing as they appeared. Our party of six enjoyed everything we tried (salads, escargot, filets, seafood); most of us were traveling from other cities but one local foodie was with us and couldn't believe she hadn't discovered this place before, especially upon learning its bring-your-own-wine!

Every time I visit Montreal, I go to Bistro Florin. The owner(s) are indeed from France and are now in Montreal by way of here and there. This restaurant is truly amazing for the following reasons. There is a shaded outdoor patio for summer dining. During the summer, reservations for ... the patio are a must. But there is usually interior seating inside at all times of year. Even though every single dish on the menu is amazingly delicious, the prices are reasonable for what you get. You can have a delicious soup such as vichyssoise plus an appetizer including their fabulous "La creme brulee au foie gras", a main course (often including a duck preparation and one or two of the main courses always include an optional fois gras accompaniment), and a desert (a frozen nougat cake on my last summer visit, yum) for $40.00 U.S per person. Apportez votre vin (Bring your own wine.) The menu changes frequently, if not daily. They are also open for lunch with slightly smaller portions and of course priced inexpensively. I found this little place on my own and then took my Montreal friends there. They could not believe that I had found such a jewel of an authentic country French restaurant without anyone's recommendation. They now attend this gastronome of gustatory delights at least once a month. LOL. Read more
