Reviews
The service was pretty great, although there were a few awkward pauses. We had three people circulate our table, so we always had drinks and a tidy table.
There were a few items that they didn’t have. Gringo poutine was no longer on the menu, and they were out of ceviche.
Food! I’m not usually a fan of oyster, but I liked theirs a lot. The charcuterie was delicious, the smoked cheese was a big hit, along with pickled cauliflower. Again, plain blue cheese is not something I usually love, but this one was creamy and perfectly balanced for me.
Atmosphere is. 11/10 absolute BLAST. Our table was finding it hard not to just start dancing! Disco lights and other party lights were fun and obvious, but not overwhelming.
There was a taxidermy pheasant that I loved, and a huge stash of underburg.
Go for the vibes, don’t settle on what food to get before, and try things you wouldn’t normally like.
The host/bouncer asked for IDs when we entered, we had made a reservation – but it didn’t seem to matter.
We were escorted to our high top table, but didn’t seem to have a server – it took a while for the bartender to bring us our menus and water. There seemed to be a bit of confusion on who would attend to our table between the friendly bartenders.
The cocktails were decent. The food wasn’t as good. We got the smoked trout dip and bone marrow for appetizers, both were pretty small and bit disappointing in terms of taste – and bread-heavy.
The menu has less items than before, the main course options were steak, burger, or a sandwich. The steak was small but tasty with a slab of herbed butter, and the fries that came with it were decent. The sandwich and accompanying salad were quite salty. With such few options, the dishes could be more polished.
The check had an automatic 20% gratuity for 2 people, which didn’t quite match the service – and the food quality didn’t match the price point. The music is also quite loud, and made conversation challenging.
Le Mont Royal seems great as a bar and I would go for its happy hour. But as a restaurant for a nice dinner, it didn’t meet expectations and could perhaps be marketed more accurately.
This was the first time that I visited this establishment and I basically tried a little bit of everything from the menu.
Between the good vibes coming from the turntable to the great service being provided by Bracey, Justin and Ryan, I couldn’t have asked for a better first impression.
This has officially been minted as one of my all time fav happy hour spots!
As for the food, I would never even talk about this food in the same realm as your local bars “really good burger.” This is a place you go to celebrate or enjoy the night. The food is strong enough to exist on its own and pays homage to Canadian classics all while staying true to the chefs vision. Fluke tartare, elk shoulder, and bone marrow with escargot do not scream “meh” to me in any way, shape, or form.
It’s a phenomenal place and I will be adding it to my DC restaurant rotation. Highly suggest, you won’t be disappointed!
1) Food: With quite the resume, the chef-owner creates dishes that change often based on what’s in season. Literally every single dish was unique and flavorful, even dishes I was hesitant on like the bone marrow and escargot or the rabbit sando. Here are our favorites.
-Scallop ceviche- it was very refreshing and the pickled strawberries added a unique twist.
-Miso mushroom gravy and cheese curd poutine- it’s the ultimate comfort food and the cheese wasn’t spongy. My wife doesn’t like poutine and really enjoyed this one.
-Mushroom tart- even though it comes out in big portions, the dish is confident and yet very light.
-Bone marrow, escargot- it comes with toast that could stand on its own and full of flavor. Spread the escargot with the marrow on the toast and you’re in buttery heaven.
-Chocolate mousse- it comes with layers of texture that make it unique while preserving the chocolate taste.
2) Drinks: The owner knows wine and drinks with a background in a distillery and wine bar. He paired every dish perfectly and even served us a Czech wine and an Austrian wine that made the entire evening.
3) Service: It’s impeccable from the hostess to the server to the chef. Everyone was down to earth and passionate about what they’ve created together. That passion rubs off on its patrons.
4) Space: It’s in a two-level building with purple neon lights and disco balls surrounded in a more classy bar with funky wallpaper. (Don’t believe me? Head to the bathroom.) It’s what D.C. needs. It’s sophisticated yet accessible and funky in a fun way. It gives D.C. permission to unwind.
5) Neighborhood: It’s near the heart of Adams Morgan surrounded by nightlife and other restaurants. (Though, all you need is inside Le Mont Royal staying open late and with good food.) Parking can be tough but doable.
(Disclaimer: Our food and drink were comped, but we left a generous tip. Views are my own.)
