I dined at Bonaparte during the Christmas Holiday.
Like Scarlette said it was more formal, quiet, and good service.
It's just okay. I guess it depends on what you are looking for?
And what is Aix Cuisine, French too?

I've never been to Aix but I pass it on my way to work,
it says: cuisine du terroir, which to me would mean rural so it would not be typically refined classic french, more earthy and countryish. Has anyone tried it ?

Well I looked up Aix at the restomontreal.ca website

Recently returned from Montreal and we loved Bonaparte for it's traditional French food and good service-the window tables were somewhat romantic too! I saw Aix but we didn't make it there. We were extremely disappointed with Cube-my fish was very fishy tasting! Staff at all of the restaurants were great though.
