Honestly, this is one of the best restaurant in Montreal, the food is very good, the ambiance is very nice (but very very noisy) and the location is perfect. There is no parking meters on Papineau in this area... wow! Every plate we ordered was very good, perfectly cooked; everyone was pleased. It's a little bit expensive, but worth the... More

My partner took me out for dinner on my birthday. I was impressed, though not a quiet and cozy place the meals are unique and they have a great wine selection. The server also had great recommendations for paring the wine and staying within our budget. Its a bit loud and not cheap but i had fun and enjoyed every... More

I always say that in Montreal we have either great restaurants or horrible ones,I was proven wrong while coming to 'Les con servent`'. It was just OK, food was undercooked or underseasoned or both, not worth the money nor my time, I will not recommend it.

Went on a friday night, had the special - fish & chips. Fries were bland, fish was OK but batter was not at all crispy. Started with the venison tartar, which was also very middle of the road. Menu needs more originality and quality. Service was good but not outstanding. In short, very average.

Over our stay in Montreal from Nov 2009 until autumn 2010 we went to Les Cons Servent once a month. Service was very friendly. The time between courses was perfect if you want to spend a relaxed evening and don't go to a restaurant just to get the calories in. The menu changed depending on the season. Every single time...

We made reservation to that nice restaurant. The inside was clean and organized. The servers were very nice. I did notice that they were only 2 and when the restaurant got full we could feel that they were under-pressure. They did a good job but a extra pair of hands would help. Their selection of wines is very impressive and... More

Very good contemporary French and local food. Excellent and extremely friendly and helpful service. Interesting atmosphere. This is a great place to enjoy a nice meal with friends or your significant other. Unfortunately, the restaurant is located on trashy and busy (in a bad way) Papineau Street (but this shouldn't stop you !)

We went the six of us foe a birthday dinner at the second seating in the evening. The place has a neat look and the service was friendly. The food was very good (although those who got fries though they tasted like frozen...): the gnocchi appetizer and the tartare were very good. We did wait quite a lot to get... More

After 3 visits to "Les Cons Servent" I can definitely say that this is one of my favorite places for a great dinner in Montreal. Tasteful and creative, the menu changes periodically which makes for great dicoveries every time. Staff is charming, service is great and can recommend the best wines on their list for our choice of food. Oh!... More

Good food, nice concept, friendly staff/owners but too crowded and noisy to my taste.
