A cozy BYOB with fixed-price menus, offering innovative French fare made from local ingredients.
This is a BYOB resto. Food... Average, the foie gras balotine has already changed color on the outside. The Onglet de boeuf is tough, even though mine was saignant. They don't when have cooked fish on the menu, everything is either meat, uncooked fishes or vegan. The truffé de chocolate was good, but the profiteroles leave much to be desired Service ... Slow, slow and slow. The kitchen can hardly keep up with the clientele. The resto was full on a Friday night. Atmosphere ... Nothing special, so just 3 stars
I received a Coffret Prestige Épicurien. I chose Le Bleu Raisin because the menu looked amazing in the booklet. Not only did it look amazing, but it was also delicious. It was 6 course meal. From the soup until the dessert, everything was divine. It's a bring your own booze restaurant. The staff were never nice and courteous, and the restaurant was cozy. We used public transport (Metro) since there was not really any parking in the neighborhood. (That's the ick of the place).
Delectable French cuisine that warmed the belly, heart, and soul! The trout was one of the best meals I have had in Montreal with perfectly crispy skin, fresh salmon colored flesh in a creamy well seasoned shrimp bisque. To start the escargots were buttery, garlicky, and tender inside with a delightful char on the outside. My boyfriend had their veggie rissotto and parsnip veliute. All excellent quality and flavors.and I will be back. Charming, upbeat, and attentive service
A Very Nice BYOB French Restaurant! Really Liked the Venison and Octopus main as well as the Veal Kidney Dish &the Truffle chocolate Desert was Very Good. Friendly Staff had a good feel to the place!
A Very Nice BYOB RESTAURANT!! This place was Recommended by someone I encounteredat O Thyme!!! Was Very nice for me to try out a new Place the Starters where Good. THE Veal Kidney and the Vension with Octopus Where Very Nice. Service was Good! Will be Back for Sure !! HAD A NICE FEEL TO THE PLACE!
Interesting table d'hôte with many great options. Great service and atmosphere. One for the top BYOW restaurants in Montréal for almost 20 years. There was an issue with one of my dishes, but they took care of it right away. The duck is a classic. Always a great choice 👌
I was debating if I should give one or two stars, but once I remembered the details I went for one. We were there with a large group, the table was reserved for about two weeks. So one would expect that they are prepared. The food quality was less than ordinary, the dishes were with one exception cold or lukewarm. Interestingly the same dishes had different serving sizes, so if you were lucky you had twice as much boudin compared to your neighbour. The service was very slow, although being there before others we were only done when all other tables were long deserted. 4 hours for 5 courses... They probably figured a large group would not just vanish. Luckily there was some bread, although stale, which helped to make it through the evening. The choices with the 5 course dinner were very limited. But a couple of the dishes listed on the black board were not available either. Certainly not a place to return to.
3/13/2018 Bleu raisin is a small restaurant with a warm welcome and homey feeling to it. I had a nice time there. I was expecting simpler food but was pleasantly surprised in fact. The dishes were all so complex. And by complex I mean there was all kind of separate thing that could've made a dish by themselves. The first dish was a smoked salmon piece with aragula salad...a small octopos salad with celeriac in curry remoulade dressing.... And also another one with a piece of dorade and apples. 3 dish in one. All good and different though Main dish was a beef tartare with potatoes,... boudin noir with grilled vegetables... and a crispy eggplant en croute. Again three dish in one. I felt like these didn't fit together quite as the entrée. Dessert was not as good as the rest. Quite odd to my taste. The poached pear with herbs and blue cheese was a weird mix and there was a mushy apple crumble which was quite ordinary. Anything mushy can't be phenomenal. Overall, I went out pleasantly surprised. I would definitely go back
I was on vacation in Montreal, I went to eat there with my brother and a friend, very good restaurant, great cuisine and an extra touch for the black pudding which is excellent you will delight your taste buds. If you are in Montreal I highly recommend this restaurant
Superb restaurant with very traditional French market cuisine. Well done!
Nice evening with friends. There were 6 of us. Everyone was delighted
Excellent cuisine! Too good! Excellent service!
Extraordinary experience for a very honest price.
Wow very good food!!! Traditional dishes revisited. We wouldnt necessarily have stopped if someone hadnt recommended it to us. White tablecloths, chic bistro atmosphere. We were not disappointed at all with the food. The dishes are relatively small but balanced, it was really a pleasure and we will probably return. Thank you so much
The blind menu for Wednesday.... A big wow!!! Great sensory and taste experience!!
Warm environment. Good service. Delicious food.
Very good restaurant, bring your own wine. I recommend. The prices are good for the quality. The table dhôte is $65 (2024) we had oysters, octopus, beef steak, tuna tartare and lemon tart. The service is pleasant and discreet.
My favorite. Really great.
The food was excellent! Snails with garlic, duck and crème brûlée --> tasty
CREATIVITY DIVINE alllll the way! Service VIP alllll the way!
We had received a prestige gift box certificate and we chose this restaurant, really not disappointed, everything was perfect and excellent congratulations to the whole team
Magnificent experience. Saturday evening, 4-course table dhôte. Incomparable price quality. The octopus starter was simply perfect. Foie gras, beef steak, homemade black pudding, crème brûlée and lemon tartlet are simply exquisite. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Karine and Sébastien Saturday evening June 1
What a great discovery!! Thank you for the outstanding service and delicious dishes. I look forward to next time.
The food is delicious and the owners lovely. A nice BYOB.
We decided to try the menu blind! It was quite an experience, the dishes offered are diverse and tasty, each one more than the other. The much appreciated touch is the inspiration of the chef according to the origin of their customers. We were then treated to a glimpse of Lyon cuisine. Thank you and see you soon!
Very good address! Refined cuisine, we loved our experience. Possibility to bring your own wine.
5* but very pricy for what it is therefore removing 1*
What a great discovery, Impeccable service, the food was perfect. Beautiful atmosphere! Bring your own wine THANKS
French cuisine, good ingredients, friendly staff. Business dinner with a semi-fixed but varied menu.
Our first time at Bleu Raisin was perfect. Excellent food and impeccable service. Thank you Frédéric and Audrey for this delicious evening. Go there without hesitation! I recommend it to everyone.
Refined, tasty and original cuisine. Very nice presentation of the dishes. Generous portions until dessert. My razor clam had a little sand which made it crispy, which is a shame because the taste was exquisite. The black pudding had a texture that was too soft in my opinion but it was really tasty. The lobster bisque in contact with the arugula salad dressing gave me a strange feeling of too much acidity in my throat... like vomit. For the rest, I loved it.
Best octopus ever eaten and Williams service incredible Duck confit with octopus A recommendation Wow! Crème brûlée to finish
Loved the food, the atmosphere, the service. We will definitely go back.
Super resto!! Cant ask for better service and the food was really great! Thank you William to have take sure great care of us!
Amazing experience. The food was fresh, delicious, well balanced. We will definitely go back. This is a small restaurant so I highly recommend to book in advance to make sure you have a spot. Staff and service was also very nice, great description of the meals, makes it hard to choose.
A wonderful restaurant. The server William is very professional and friendly. On the culinary side, the dishes were excellent, well balanced and very refined. It s flawless. The best French-inspired restaurant in Montreal.
If I could have given more stars, I would have! One of my greatest culinary experiences. My boyfriend and I got to know this restaurant thanks to the prestige box we received and believe me, we will return without hesitation! Barely 1 hour after our departure, we had already suggested it to several members of our families. The service from William, the owner Audrey combined with the excellence of her partner in the kitchen will not make you indifferent! But what a menu!!!! The prices are ridiculously low if you look at the quality of the products they serve and their dishes. We had a 6 course meal and each course was divine! Just WOW! Thanks to the whole team, we had an incredible evening on both sides! See you soon definitely. Jean-Philippe & Sabrina
Delicious, beautiful menu and very affordable for an AVV
Very good experience!!! One of the best restaurants we have tried in Montreal. Intimate atmosphere where you can hear yourself talking. Discovered thanks to a prestige epicurean 6 course box set that we were given. We really appreciated the service from William who took the time to advise us and explain the dishes. The cuisine was excellent and surprising (special mention for the dessert). The products are fresh and local. Bravo to the chef and his small team. The price is worth the quality of the menu. We will return there for sure and we will introduce this address to our friends and family.
Very good service and very pleasant meal with high quality dishes! We will come back for sure
One of the best (if not the best) Bring Your Own Wine in Montreal. The menu is original and the dishes we ordered were really delicious. The service is of high quality and the staff are particularly friendly. Thanks again to the whole team, we can t wait to go back!
Excellent music, exceptional service and meals worthy of any discerning palate.
The absolutely delicious menu, soft and calm atmosphere accompanied by eclectic music perfect for a quiet dinner in good company. Warm and attentive service! Great experience Dietary restrictions: Some gluten-free options
Great evening. Will gave us the best service ever. The food is delicious. A beautiful, intimate and succulent restaurant.
Tasty and balanced cuisine. I recommend! Check out the menu and bring your own wine. Very accommodating to guests with food allergies. AAA+++
A superb experience! The service is wonderful, they let us serve ourselves our wine, they leave us the cork. The menu is very varied while being simple: like a bistronomic restaurant. Fabric napkin and tablecloth, it looks nice but personally I find it really nice! The food is excellent, everything is very balanced. Honestly, nothing to complain about! Small and cozy, the music is not loud or intrusive and it is not noisy. Recommended!! And especially for the price ($62 excluding tax for the 4-plate tasting menu)
A superb experience. The service is friendly and pleasant, no pressure, we let you pour your wine in peace (thank you!). Fabric tablecloths and napkins, and bread is served throughout the meal (wonderful!). The menu is simple and concise but full of flavors and perfectly mastered. Thank you for this beautiful evening we had a great time
A memorable dinner and remarkable cuisine: last evening I visited this charming restaurant and was won over by the warm welcome from the staff and their impeccable service. The friendly ambiance and elegant decor created an ideal setting to relax. The excellent quality of the food, with tasty and generous dishes, particularly struck me. The chef demonstrates his know-how and passion in each plate. The music in the background was well chosen, adding a touch of good humor to the dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, attentive service and pleasant ambiance.
Very nice discovery!
Seriously one of the best restaurants in Montreal, I recommend it with my eyes closed!
Always a great experience! a restaurant bring your wine that surprises us every time.
Original dishes and always delicious!! I highly recommend the table dhôte
Great discovery! We loved everything about the welcome, service, food, a big wow!! Bonus one bring your own wine!
Everything is very good, dont hesitate to try the different dishes... trust the waiter... he knows his menu well
What a delight! Dining room a little too small and cluttered.
High quality cuisine with entirely homemade dishes. The room staff is very friendly. I fully recommend this restaurant where the atmosphere, the dishes and the staff are great.
Definitely one of the best bring your own wine in Montreal. A hidden treasure in the Laurier sector. Its difficult to choose between all the tempting dishes on the blackboard menu. Cozy atmosphere, impeccable service. I loved my experience at the Bleu Raisin restaurant.
My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised by this low-key restaurant: the food was tasty, both innovative and traditional, elegant without being pretentious, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend it and intend to return for another special occasion.
Delicious food and service. The duck and scallops were our favorites. Can t beat a BYOB French Canadian restaurant !
I had a great evening with my partner. We celebrated our 7th anniversary as a couple and we chose the right restaurant to do it. The 4-course menu is phenomenal and the service is fast and courteous. Very nice discovery!
Simply delicious!!
Impeccable service. Fine, delicious food and careful presentation. The gold was divine. Perfect place for a girls night out. Weve been closing the place a few times now and weve never been rushed out. For us it has been a must-have for several years.
Really nice space and super friendly staff
We went there last night...only good words for this restaurant., The duck breast to roll on the ground, so good with its root vegetables...what can we say about the service: impeccable! Coming back soon!
This restaurant is a little gem. The service is attentive and above all the dishes are particularly tasty. As it is a BYOB, the bill remains reasonable for a gastronomic experience.
Beautiful quiet atmosphere. The food is tasty. Good value for money to bring your own wine!
Cozy atmosphere perfect for a romantic dinner or to chat with a friend. Excellent food, discreet and warm service.
Quite honestly I dont understand some of the less positive reviews. We went to Bleu raisin and were delighted. We were warmly received there, the food was excellent and of very good quality. Truly a restaurant to discover!!
A great discovery! Will gives us great service! The atmosphere is perfect and the food is delicious! You must put this destination on your calendars!
William is the best waiter! Very kind, thoughtful and extremely good at his job! The danish people are definitely coming back!
Good restaurant
Perfect experience. A great culinary discovery. From the welcome to the dessert we were well served. Quality of ingredients, impeccable presentation, reasonable portion, marriage of flavors . Everything was perfect. The prices are also more than affordable for an exceptional meal ($59 for 3 courses) We will definitely go back.
We had an amazing time at the restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was great. Everything sounded amazing on the menu. And its a bring your own wine restaurant. Perfect evening! Well come back.
Good service, good food. Great dessert. We got the mousse. Bring your own wine
Vegetarian options: Tons of delicious options for all. Best service. Best food and beautifully presented. One of my favourite restaurants with good vibes, no pretentious anything in this place. Love it.
We had a great time at Bleu Raison. The setting is intimate and pleasant and the staff very friendly and helpful. The dishes were really delicious! Big cost for the tuna fillet :) We feasted. We will come back without hesitation.
The atmosphere, the food and the service was heavenly. Very intimate and romantic place, thank you for everything! Dietary restrictions: William asked about any dietary restrictions before recommending dishes
Lovely restaurant and good service, but we were disappointed with the flavors. Nothing stood out.
A classic card executed with care and attention to detail. Impeccable service! I like the BYOB option. Obviously its easier when the menu is displayed on the site.
It was excellent from starter to dessert. Fresh and tasty food. Beautiful presentation. The menu is perfectly varied. There is something for everyone. Excellent service. Thank you for this beautiful evening! I will go back.
Excellent
High quality gourmet restaurant! The place would be for a one-on-one dinner with a warm team and dishes with exquisite flavors. I still dream of your lavender crème brulee which was to die for.
Impeccable and very professional service from William, our server. The experience and the waiting time between dishes were just perfect. On the culinary side, very special mention to the kitchen for the flavors and presentation. Very nice discovery, my boyfriend and I recommend it to everyone.
Chef Meys originality is incredible. The taste and presentation of the plates is worthy of French cuisine. The atmosphere and service are of high quality. A very nice discovery even if they have been present in Montreal for 19 years. A perfect restaurant. Nothing else to say, I will return.
what is so special about this place?? Everything! Owners are one of the amazing and talented chef in the town! plus let not forget about stuff who is working there! William is amazing person.. what else do you want?! amazing food and fantastic atmosphere!
Excellent service. Very good meal.
We really had a lovely evening for my friends birthday...we werent a fan of the music playlist but it wasnt disturbing either, just not to our taste.... But the food was WOW well done chef and thank you to our server!!
Honest cuisine at a reasonable price. Excellent service and warm atmosphere.
Good food! Courteous staff and I cant wait until we can eat indoors!
A local restaurant you should try if you visit Montreal. The food is really good. But you have to bring your own wine.
Excellent
EXCELLENT food William super nice
The blind menu is always a winner! I really like this very good restaurant.
Such a beautiful atmosphere and delicious dishes. A culinary experience not to be missed.
I cant recommend a better place to eat in Montreal. If you want the ultimate eating experience you have to visit Le Bleu Raisin. It doesnt have the hype of other high profile restaurants but much better food.
Very good restaurant, all the dishes were delicious, the decor is up to par too. I only wish the menu choice was more varied
Really great friendly restaurants. Enjoy the place and recommend it for your next meals in family or with friends.
Bad choice: the service is bad and the recipes are small, not very nice decoration! Service is too long even if there are not many people!
An extraordinary culinary experience. Dont be fooled by their website, this place is beautiful!
Incredible! One of the most fascinating and delicious meals Ive ever had!
A great culinary experience every time!
Very pleasant atmosphere & delicious dishes
The quality is not good, the menu is very limited and the price is really high, we paid a lot but the service was very ordinary
Good service. Very good food.
Great Discovery! Passionate owners and cooks. it can be felt and tasted. Plus it s a BYOB. Its open, go ahead!
What a nice restaurant! An exquisite menu. I loved the blood sausage and the aigeflin. Homemade sorbets and ice creams are delicious. Thank you Audrey and Fred. See you again soon!
This is the type of place that makes Montreal the city that it is! There arent a lot of places that offer this level of quality and service for this type of price. I cant say enough good things about Le Bleu Raisin, other than its worth a try for sure if youve never been here!
Delicious and refined food! Very friendly staff.
Delicious!! Every time I go there I leave extremely satisfied. Tasty and original dishes in addition to being a warm place. The chef is passionate about his profession and you can feel it from the moment you arrive at the restaurant. I recommend to everyone!
Service was great, but I was expecting more from the food for the price. Mine was quite bland and not very tasty. The entree was great, though
I ordered swordfish. In a nutshell my meal had a quality of a Deli food rather than a chef made meal!! It was tasteless and poorly presented. Fish was not fresh! It was put on a bed of big raw tomato pieces, topped with absolutely tasteless quinoa . The appetizer was not fresh either and worst than all.of that was that they didnt not care a bit when we shared our feedback. I will definitely not go back
Great takeout meal! Everything was perfect! The pot of gratinated mushrooms and duck confit are a must!
Excellent service. We were around thirty people. Very satisfied.
What a wonderful dining experience at the Bleu Raisin! The food was fantastic, the prices are reasonable and Charles gave us the best service ever! Will definitely go back.
Super good food! Warm service!
Absolutely loved it and looking forward to the next visit. Excellent byow.
Good à la carte meal, service a little slow.
Très satisfaite du service et des repas. Jai beaucoup dallergies dont les ufs et jai souvent de la difficulté à aller dans des restaurants. Cependant, jai eu un service impeccable; les repas ont été modifiés et on ma fait un délicieux dessert qui nétait pas dans le menu afin que je puisse tout manger sans complications. Merci à toute léquipe!
Excellent foie gras!
We loved our experience. We took the 5 courses blind. It was excellent but we had brains in our main meal, for my part I appreciated it less, I would have liked someone to mention it to us. But otherwise generally the atmosphere was calm. It s a bring your own wine.
This was a really unique experience. The food was amazing. The service was incredible. Highly recommended.
Amazing food experience and very available staff.
Good cuisine, pleasant surroundings, careful and attentive service but extremely long... too bad, this prevented us from fully appreciating the experience.
I don t go out for meals often because I love the food we eat at home. I love fine and flavourful meals...(I m not the one cooking). You will have NO regret eating here. Fred is an excellent and creative chef. Flavour, texture, temperature and presentation is always so awesome. And bring your own wine!
Amazing!!!
The Bleu Raisin gave 8 of us a fantastic meal! Our waiter, William, was great. The price point was perfect, as was the atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and anyone.
Delicious meal, excellent service
Very nice place. Very good thank you very much
Excellent. The chef uses local products wherever possible in all seasons. The pleasure of discovering the menu is only a taste of the pleasure of savoring it. Although it is preferable to make a reservation, you can still stop there and, if there is space, have an impromptu dinner. Thank you Frédérick for choosing Montreal to cook with art.
A taste wonder.....thank you, good luck!!!!
Excellent meal. Its been a long time since we came there, were delighted. The mushroom velouté, the scallop ceviche, the wild mushroom pot, everything was delicious from start to finish. A great incentive, we bring our wine there. The service is impeccable.
Food is great. Service is on point as well. Biggest complaint is the kitchen is really slow. 2 tables in the whole restaurant and we were just waiting the entire time.
Rien à redire en tant que professionnel de la restauration depuis plus de 35 ans. Je peux me permettre dire (une cuisine de très haut niveau, des mets exceptionnelles cuisiné dune main de maître) . Un service de salle impeccable. Je le recommande à toutes et à tous. Les prix sont très correct si on prend en compte la quantité des produits et le super travail du chef.
Truly a great experience!
Beautiful place, perfect cuisine, excellent service
Very good but the kitchen service a little slow after ordering personal very good
A really nice and warm little restaurant. The terrace is very pleasant, the dishes are tasty and original and the service is truly impeccable. We tasted the fish dish (Rock fish) on a bed of fava beans and fiddleheads: delicious! Just like the dessert trilogy. Really, everything was perfect!
The meat is delicious, the dishes are delicious, the desserts are great, the service attitude is very good, praise , the bread is crispy and fragrant
Magnificent evening at the Bleu Raisin restaurant. An exceptional four-course meal, all followed by a dessert worthy of note! The menu offered by Frédérick MEY is a true marvel! Without forgetting the impeccable service. I cant wait to go back.
Magnificent restaurant where the atmosphere is relaxed and warm! The food is always on point and tempting. Lots of menu choices and super friendly staff. If you are adventurous try the blind menu which was a great experience for us. Well done
Excellent, the choice of dishes on the slate is diverse and very interesting
Discovery menu: a pure delight! Plus, since its bring your own wine, its damn interesting! Im giving 4 stars because we asked for the 4 course and were given (and charged) the 5 course. And I recommend the 5 courses because the portions are quite small.
It was incredible. Every bite was magical. Already looking forward to going back!
Impeccable service and delicious food, highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing! Superb bring your own wine and let yourself be seduced by the blind menu.
The best food I have had!
Food is excellent and ingredients are extremely fresh. We took the 4 services and the price was very affordable, which is rare for the area of Plateau / Mile-End. It is a BYOW, which makes it even more interesting to drink and catch up with friends in between services.
Great experience but a little expensive...
Great service, great menu
Nice little discovery. Good service although the waiter could not describe the dishes served without looking at the table on the wall. Also, no water service. It took a long time for the waiter to come to our table. No choice of 3 services. Or 4 or 5 services. Delicious and tasty dishes. For the value for money, I find the dishes a little expensive for a BYOB. On the other hand, try it!
Excellent meal, the blind tasting table a delight.
Excellent food and quality service! What more could you ask for!!
Fantastic service! Delicious meal and brought your wine too.
Wow wow wow!!! A MUST!! The blind menu was incredible! Excellent service!!! Beautiful terrace. Loved by me and my partner! We recommend without fail. Exceptional evening
Ive been coming here for a few years. A sure value in terms of quality and service.
Good restaurant but be careful if you book for a group, the service is very slow, the menu had few options and several dishes were cold... Too bad because I had already eaten very well there in the past
Good simple meal. Not refined enough for the price. Some dishes lack taste. Very pleasant staff.
Excellent experience we tried the 5 course meal and were not disappointed
Very good restaurant, possibility of having several menus depending on your hunger and desire. The service is very correct and friendly. The fact that its a BYOB restaurant makes it even nicer!!!
A bit expensive for what its worth: great ingredients, but the tastes could be more present. Its BYOB though
Enjoyed the 5 course blind tasting menu during summer 2018. Staff is great and restaurant is BYOB. Will definitely return to enjoy this French cuisine.
Hi, First of all, a big thank you for the gastronomic experience that I had to live last evening from start to finish, it was an enormous pleasure. Well done to the whole team. We will be with you as much as possible. Secondly, I would like to share that our hostess Miss Audrey provided unparalleled service. Everyone: Have a nice day and I hope your experience is as fabulous as mine.
Nice surprise. Efficient service.
Exceptional restaurant. The chef came to see us after the meal to talk to us about his dishes and his inspirations. Impeccable service. An avv with refined cuisine and particular attention to detail. The establishment is family-run and you can feel it in the love that goes into this kitchen. My husband and I will definitely go back. The foie gras was succulent, the beef steak melted in your mouth, in short we could hardly have had a better evening for our 8th birthday. Thank you
The food is really good but the service was extremely slow.
A pure marvel!
