Fodor's Review:
Mirrored walls and noise levels that are close to painful on weekends make L'Express the closest thing Montréal (and maybe even Canada) has to a Parisian bistro. Service is fast, prices are reasonable, and the food is good, even if the tiny crowded tables barely have room to accommodate it. Steak tartare with french fries, salmon with sorrel, and calves' liver with tarragon are marvelous. Jars of gherkins, fresh baguettes, and aged cheeses make the pleasure last longer.

My favourite bistrot in Montreal
Posted by lenormandgourmand from Paris on 12/11/07
Home away from home as far as I'm concerned. I have been there for over 20 years and in my opinion, it's the most consistent restaurant in Montreal. You can't go wrong with the celeri remoulade, the bavette echalotte, the steak tartare or the veal kidneys. Ask for the private imported wine list. You might find a bargain.RATING: 4.2
Of all sad words of tongue or pen,The saddiest are these: "It might have been."

Oh I wish we did not take this reccomendation. Our last afternoon in Montreal and our lunch was anything but memorable. Food was okay. Our waitress was courteous but too rushed. As far as atmosphere I could have been in any bistro in the world. Nothing memorable at all.RATING: 3.2
Brilliant Food

Is it better than Nuances or Toque or Pied du Couchon? All different in their own right but a meal at L'Express is an experience. Ate at the bar - bartender was very knowledgeable not only about wine but also the food. The lamb was mouth watering as were the desserts.RATING: 5.0
