Au Petit Extra has been enlivening and nourishing its neighbourhood since 1985. This bistro with European accents barely seated 40 when it opened, but over the years it has turned into a spacious restaurant adjacent to the Lion d'Or theatre.

Since its inception, Au Petit Extra has been a unifying place where all sorts of energizing initiatives are born — it soon became the rallying point for artists, journalists and the business community of Ville-Marie. "Our niche is really that of a bistro with a good value. We find that the customers are very happy with this. We don't wish to pay for gourmet," says co-owner André Baillargeon.

In the '80s, the first owners, Jean Filippi and Pierre Charron, wanted to instill beauty in their surroundings and make passersby smile as much as the customers. "I think they wanted to make this area, once very hard and poor, a little better, a little more habitable for everyone," says André.

A very disappointing anniversary dinner. Service and food quality has gone downhill. Big time. The cod was so dry and tough, so was my duck breast. Our jaws were tired after half way of the meal. Our server was kind of cold and inattentive. Had to wait 15 mins to order, and he never refill the wine or water for us. We took the issue of the fish to the server and he just said nothing, and turned to ask the hostess to talk to us instead. Overall experience was pretty bad.

J’y suis allée pour le lunch aujourd’hui et bien qu’on m’est assuré qu’il y aurait un plat végétarien lorsque la carte est arrivée il n’y avait rien de telle, alors bien que je ne mange jamais de viande j’ai pris le risque de prendre le veau, cela ne me réconciliera pas avec la viande, c’est certain. Un morceau plein de gras dont j’ai mangé un petit morceau en me forçant. En ce concerne le service, tant qu’à moi rien à voir non plus avec le service qu’on devrait donné qui irait avec le statut

Belle découverte

C'était ma première expérience au Petit Extra et j'ai été agréablement surprise. La table d'hôte était super intéressante et variée. J'y retournerais pour essayer autre chose sur le menu et prenez note que la crème brûlée vaut le déplacement!!

Take a trip to Paris without leaving Montreal

Real French decor! No fuss, just perfect! Even the front, with its champagne and wine inscription on the window is a reminder of the genuine Paris. Add to that the foie gras, duck breast and apple pie... enough said!

In this establishment on Ontario Street East, the first course is a choice of fish soup, foie gras and dates, or salmon gravlax served with Labrador tea sour cream. For the main course, the choice is yours between cod fillet, the saddle of rabbit stuffed with Saint-Benoît-du-Lac blue cheese, or fettuccine in squid ink with tomatoes and lemon confit. A brownie with Grand Marnier orange salad for dessert will be sure to round your evening off with a smile.

A neighbourhood fixture for the past 30 years, Au Petit Extra is a bistro which serves refined, French-inspired cuisine composed of classics and bold innovations. Hanger steak, duck breast and confit, sarladaise potatoes, blood sausage and tartare all offer a taste of France, especially when enjoyed with one of the wines that have been carefully selected by the sommelier, and followed by a dessert like crème brûlée or Paris Brest.
