Since 1931 and revived in 2024, Restaurant Ile de France combines old-world French culinary traditions with contemporary Montreal influences in the heart of Downtown.
Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Chef Liam Hopkins
From the OpenTable editors: The stunning Art Deco architecture is reason enough to visit this landmark restaurant in Centre Eaton de Montréal, which first opened in 1931. Evenings flow from the elegant cocktail bar to the fine dining restaurant, where diners can indulge in classic fare such as prime beef tenderloin or gnocchi Parisienne while admiring the space’s well-preserved historic features.

Wonderful food, gorgeous decor. Unfortunately the server smiled rarely and wasn’t as attentive as expected. Longer than usual wait times between her visits

Since it's reopening the 9th floor restaurant remains one of our favorite places to eat.
The brunch is excellent. We had pastries to start, mine the fruit(raspberry) tartelette and yellow melon pieces. I ordered the ham benedictine it was delicious and a perfect size the sauce was great. I also had the potatoes a little to much oil for me but very delicious. My companion raved about the omelette and the old fashione bacon. The service was excellent, the great coffee replenished in a timely manner. The prices are a little higher than some places we normally eat at but this is a special place and a wonderful treat on a winter's Sunday.

This was a very nice evening spent with some good friends.
Everything was delightful.
Went a few times at this restaurant in the late sixties with my parents…so it was memorable.
Will certainly go back!

Le Restaurant Île de France offre une atmosphère des plus charmantes, transportant ses convives dans l’élégance des années 1930, grâce à un décor raffiné et soigneusement pensé. Lors du brunch de fin de semaine, le menu se distingue par sa diversité, proposant une belle sélection de mets savoureux alliant classiques français et inspirations contemporaines. Le service, quant à lui, est impeccable : Destiny, notre serveuse, s’est montrée d’une grande attention et d’une courtoisie exemplaire. Dans l’ensemble, ce restaurant constitue une adresse de choix, méritant amplement sa place parmi les établissements à recommander pour une expérience gastronomique agréable et authentique.
