Le Poisson Rouge

My wife and I live in Vermont. We try to visit Montreal on a regular basis. We first discovered Poisson Rouge a number of years ago when we were staying at an inn nearby. We have being going to Poisson Rouge each time we visit Montreal. It is a wonderful restaurant - small, cozy, great food, great atmosphere and service with a wonderful chef/owner who really has the personal touch. Last time there she remembered it was my wife's birthday and brought out dessert to celebrate. Such a nice touch which defines the restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit.

Table d'hôte concept only and BYOW. From the welcome to receiving the bill, we felt like our comfort and enjoyment were the only things that mattered to the staff. Not phony or overbearing, and a refreshing change from the more blasé service of too many Montreal restaurants unfortunately. The Icelandic cod was melt-in-your-mouth and the calamari is outstanding. The décor was a little sub-standard, but somehow it didn't detract from the cozy atmosphere. Also liked that it wasn’t too loud for conversation. I highly recommend.

Best calamari in Montreal. Fresh Icelandic cod to die for!

Had an soft serve vanilla ice cream that taste more like a hard ice cream that been melting for 2 hour than real soft ice cream. The staff clearly have to re check their twirling technic cause it was a total fail. The whole thing served through a window that look more like an after thought to get a few bucks from a busy bike lane passing by.
