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.
