BEST FRENCH DISHES IN MONTREAL

Best french dishes in montreal -Le Pois Penché

Culinary trends and fads are fun. They keep things interesting. Instagram would close shop without them. But, as proud owners of a classic Parisian brasserie in the heart of downtown Montreal, we have a soft spot for those awesome dishes that not only refuse to die, but that seem to get more delicious and satisfying every time we return to them, like sharing a glass of Burgundy with old friends.

Here are our top-5 of today (because it’s impossible to draft a definitive list!):

PLATEAU DE FRUITS DE MER

There is no better start to a French feast than a gargantuan seafood tower, featuring the best of Canadian waters.

SOUPE À L’OIGNON

The ultimate decadent indulgence. Messy, gooey, cheesy, and, oh, so deliciously comforting.

MOULES FRITES

Whoever came up with the idea of sautéing mussels with wine, cream and herbs, and serving the whole thing with golden fries, was an unsung genius who deserves a statue on the Franco-Belgian border.

CANARD CONFIT

Slow-cooked duck leg, with fall-off-the-bone tender meat and crispy skin, is a French cultural contribution right up there with any Victor Hugo novel.

SALADE NIÇOISE

This emblematic dish transports us to La Côté d’Azur faster than the Concorde. The star is the tuna, which unfortunately, tends to come from a can. At Pois Penché, we said “non, monsieur, impossible!” We cook in-house a smooth tuna confit that elevates our Niçoise salad close to the gods who invented it.

What are your favorite French brasserie classics?

Maybe we can make a wish come true.

Love life, eat French!
