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.

The noise level was so high that it was impossible to hold a conversation among our party of three. The occasion being a birthday, it didn’t contribute to a proper celebration.

Disappointed. I thought we'd be dining in the main room, where the restaurant used to be. This is what patrons expect.
The menu items, with the exception of a few, were odd/strange. Too French haut-cuiisine. I ordered baked oysters main. One oyster arrived, tasted horrid, unidentifiable salty sauce! It was replaced by stodgy ham on a bun and salad made of limp pale lettuce and one radish.Service was excellent. High prices for awful food. Won't return.

Wonderful to see the grand dame in all her glory! The menu is well balanced, service and staff are great.
The only thing that I found confusing was the choice of music, it went from Jazz to contemporary to Latin etc.. I wish the music reflected the period of the venue.
Otherwise, it was great.

9e is an elegant yet relaxed restaurant, with excellent servers, very polite and respectful, and beautiful background music from several cultures and time periods. Our meals were simple yet perfectly prepared (an omelette for my friend, and beer-battered cod with greens for me). We celebrated with a glass of prosecco, and shared a wonderful dacquoise, a decadent chocolate cake with a praline outer layer, and rich cream to spoon on the top. A great treat for us both!
