Intimate, traditional French restaurant serving classic fare with a large raw bar & outdoor dining.

Exceptional! Burrata was uniquely prepped and perhaps the best we’ve had. My steak was cooked to perfection and tender. My wife’s moule was fantastic with a white wine garlic sauce. Our server, Jonathan, knows his business and was very friendly. Lovely atmosphere. We’re going back today for their buck a shuck oyster special.

We had the pleasure of hosting our engagement dinner here, and everything was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting both the food and the service. The drinks were excellent too! We wouldn’t hesitate to host another celebration here again.

Went there for dinner for the first time last night and it did not disappoint.
The energy from downtown on the warm summer day made it pleasant to sit on the patio in the late afternoon.
Service was very good. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the different dishes and made very good recommendations.
We all enjoyed our meals. From steak sandwich (with au jus), to ravioli, drinks and dessert everything was delicious.

The guy who appeared to be the manager seemed keen to make a point that we were unwelcome by dropping the empty plates with such a loud crash. My partner found it to be the rudest restaurant experience of her life.
All else: Duck confit was okay. Ravioli d’homard was mostly bland. Waiters were okay. Food was overpriced for the quality. One of the employees couldn’t point me to the toilet.

Great vibe, friendly attentive accommodating staff—and honest about what’s worth ordering (and what might not be to your tastes!) Can host large groups and receptions. Great location! and large outdoor patio. The croque monsieur was really good, but my friend had the mussels and I was jealous. Sweet potato fries were exceptional (and I try them everywhere).

I ordered the Bouillabaisse dish, and as you can see in the photo, it looked very different from what I expected based on the image on their website. For a $35 meal, I didn’t think it looked or tasted as it should. I didn’t enjoy it, and I wanted to share my experience in case it helps them improve.
Another thing I noticed was the service. We were a group of 10, and our waitress seemed very busy. It was difficult to get her attention, and she mostly came to our table only to offer more beer. What made us uncomfortable was that when it came time to pay, she stood right behind us watching closely to see how much tip we would leave. I really didn’t appreciate that.

We recently hosted an event (70+ ppl) organized by Sarah and the Metropolitain staff, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they was incredibly responsive, flexible, and thoughtful in accommodating our requests. It made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free.
The event itself went seamlessly, everything was well organized, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. Our guests all had great things to say, especially about the quality of the food and the overall experience.
A big thank you as well to the wait and kitchen staff, who played a huge role in making the event such a success. We truly appreciate all the effort that went into making this a memorable occasion.
Highly recommend!

Great spot!! Where to begin- I made reservations for this restaurant as I went during rush hour, however the venue wasn’t busy, which hopefully won’t be the case for much longer because this place is super underrated. The atmosphere is quiet and warm with soft mumblings of other tables, the perfect restaurant feel. I got the Parisian Honey cocktail (two, if we’re counting) and it was delicious and paired very nicely with the lobster ravioli- it took every ounce of willpower to not lick my plate, but I wouldn’t judge anyone that did. We also shared the burrata which was also incredibly delicious. I got the creme brûlée and a dessert wine (which wasn’t my thing but to each their own) and my partner had the bread pudding, both good, but the meals definitely had more love.
Will definitely be back!

We were hungry when explored downtown and decided to try this restaurant. Turned out very nice. We sat in patio, Good meals, decent size, good service. Coffee is good too. Just a minor inconvenient, the young server who served our meals didnt know our meals’ name and randomly put on our table. A lil bit confusion and mixed up but everything sorted out after we asked our real server. Definitely will come again next time.

First time eating here, I came with my sister under her recommendation, and I am not disappointed!
I ordered their steak sandwich and she ordered the vegetable sandwich, both are worth the money and both are delicious! You get a choice of either fries or salad with your choice of sandwich. Their vegetable sandwich is very light and herbaceous while their steak sandwich is very savoury and filling!
Service was fast, the both of us were treated very well! We didn’t wait long to get food and drink, didn’t wait to get seated and orders taken.
Definitely recommend for lunch, their lunch menu has a range of options!
