This Montreal French Restaurant is an ABSOLUTE MUST-TRY!!

Monarque is hands down my #1 French dining experience in Montreal! 🔥 After eating too many "instagrammable but mediocre" meals, this place truly blew me away - no wonder it's ranked #17 on Canada's Top 100 Restaurants! The menu is at the end~ 🍽️ What We Ordered: 🧄 Bone Marrow Escargot 🌟🌟🌟🌟 First bite = mind-blowing! The rich, piping-hot bone marrow mixed with tender snails creates an explosion of flavor. A bit oily, so perfect for sharing. Don't miss dipping the bread in the leftover sauce! 🦆 Foie Gras Parfait 🌟🌟🌟 Silky-smooth foie gras under a delicate jelly layer, spread on toasted bread. So decadent - you'll have extra pâté for the free bread basket! 🥩 Dry-Aged Ribeye 🌟🌟🌟 We ordered medium-rare but got well-done (still delicious for the price!). Comes with salad or fries - pick the salad since you'll already be carb-loaded from bread! 🍗 Duck Confit 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Game-changer! Crispy skin, fall-off-the-bone tender meat, zero greasiness. The roasted potatoes on the side are chef's kiss. 🍓 Quebec Raspberry Pavlova 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Huge portion! Light, crispy meringue topped with tart raspberry compote - the perfect sweet ending (we were stuffed but still finished it all 🤣). 💰 Price & Details: ~$50 per person (we left STUFFED) 📍 406 Rue Saint-Jacques, Montréal 📅 MUST RESERVE! Even Friday lunch was packed. Two sections: Brasserie (front): À la carte all day (what we tried) Salle À Manger (back): Prix-fixe menus (2-course lunch / 4-course dinner) #MontrealEats #FrenchCuisine #FoodieHeaven #MustTry #DuckConfit #Monarque
