Le Club Chasse et Pêche

I've dined here many times and will be back again - perfect for a family gathering (less than 8 people) or romantic date. The food is incredible, we had the duck and wagyu beef which were both perfection. The wines were stellar, perfectly matched with our food. The service is top, very on point but also personable which makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.

I had an excellent evening here at Le Club Chasse et Pêche! It was on a week night so not crowded at all which set the perfect mood for an intimate dinner. Our waiter was very helpful with suggesting a wine pairing and gave us attentive service throughout the whole meal. The risotto, duck and wagyu were all SO delicious! The pommes dauphines were literally perfect and I still think about them. This restaurant is a new favorite of mine!

Really good food, lots of selection. Good service from beginning to the end. However I felt rushed to leave the place as they had to turn over tables. Would go back.

We have been going back to Chasse et Pêche for many years now, including our wedding anniversaries and our Christmas work parties. We have NEVER been disappointed. Their risotto foie gras is a must try that keeps us coming back for more… paired with amazing service and intimate setting to are guaranteed a memorable experience.

Had the opportunity to eat here on Sept. 7 @ 6:45pm. Small dining space with comfortable seating & filled within 20 mins I’d say. • Amazing variations of staff members help with your meal - very knowledgable with the food served • Complimentary bread provided • Huge selection of wines • We had the Quail & octopus for appetizers - both were delicious • And for main we had Wagyu & Duck - cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth • For dessert we shared the chocolate sphere - very rich with a slight hint of orange •With a bottle of wine this cost roughly $379, very worth it for the level of food provided • The only negative thing I’d mention is bring a jacket or shall to wear, we found it to be very cold inside.

We’ve been wanting to come to dine at this restaurant for so long as we Iive, work next door and always park in front and today finally we got the chance to visit this amazing restaurant. What really got my heart is the food and the service. The taste of every dish is exceptional and just melting in your mouth. Special thanks to chef Alex. We are so grateful and lucky to have tried the food cooked by him. It was one of the best things we tasted in our life. In this place they really treat you like royals and I recommend this to everyone who wants to experience the finest dining in town

What a lovely cozy fine dining spot in old port of Montreal. The foie gras risotto was amazing 🤩. I enjoyed the duck which was good. My favourite was the dessert, an chocolate eclair with caramel, fresh cream, ice cream & cookie crumble. I have never tasted anything this delicious. 😋 Overall will come back! Thank you

This restaurant is amazing. I loved everything here. The chef was genius!!! You should try here, it is one of third best restaurants in Montreal without doubts!

We had a great dinner and the meal was spectacular. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Mind. Blown. My wife and I came to celebrate her birthday. The food was sublime. The service impeccable. And the locale -- what a spectacular space that felt simultaneously intimate and inclusive all at once. For martini lovers, the Monkey 47 is worth a try. Wonderful evening all around.

Great ambience and service. I'm visiting from Seattle and I recommend this place if you want a local dining experience. We had the white asparagus imported from France and fantastic oysters and wine. Highly recommended to try this place if your looking to get away from the touristy food restaurants.

Phenomenal! A true dining pleasure. We enjoyed the oysters, a special appetizer affectionately called a "tomato sandwich", halibut, Norwegian trout special that literally melted in your mouth like creamy butter, and the maple eclair dessert. Wine list was extensive and waiter was very knowledgeable. Service was magnificent! Highly recommend.

3 years and a whole pandemic later, I'm still a really big fan of this place! I came back here on another trip to Montreal and it was still really yummy. The surf and turf has changed though, it's now pork belly instead of steak but still delicious. I also got scallops and risotto as appetizers. Both were really good too. Still highly recommend this place!

Food 4.5/5.0 Service 4.0/5.0 Value 3.0/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.5/5.0 Food was amazing. Seriously good. I'm not a big wine person, but the wine list was impressive. Would definitely want to come back.

I'm trying to understand the appeal, and I believe I do. The food here is presented as a work of art and is as delicious as it is breathtaking. The portions are exceptionally small however. There's nothing new under the sun. Fine restaurants have been serving small portioned dishes forever. It's a different mindset. Many people love the formula and return as often as they can. I'm not one of those people. One of their best known appetizers is the seared scallops. These of course were some of the best scallops I've ever had. Similar to their affiliate Le Filet,  the scallops are prepared with a hard sear, and served with some lemon reduction or something along those lines. The problem is you are getting exactly 3 scallops (50 grams according to our waiter) for 27$. Yes, I know all about Covid and yes we are fortunate to be out anywhere. This is still a bit silly though. They aren't served on a bed of some puree. There are no vegetables. It's literally 3 scallops on a plate for 27 dollars. Thankfully, the waiter kept coming by with slices of fresh thick rye bread which is easily the most filling part of the meal. Our other appetizer was the braised piglet risotto with shaved foie gras. It was excellent and more on par with a reasonable portion for an appetizer. For a main, I tried the Chasse et Peche special which was exactly 3 ounces of beef and 3 shrimp. I took a bite and said to myself "yeah, it's steak. What did the chef do with the rest of it" When you literally have to take 5 bites to finish your main course, I just cannot relate to the experience. Other people swear by it and more power to them. My wife had the cod. Again, all 3 ounces of it were great. A couple of bites and the meal is history. Desserts were pretty but predictably small. Wine is heavily marked up, and the hostess at the front seemed to be going through some internal emotions and was standoffish just kind of staring at us when we arrived. It took her about 30 seconds of staring at us to suggest that we should check our coats. I said "sure" and asked her where I could do just that. She told us to give her the coats as if we should have understood that innately. It was just a super weird sequence of events. Not a huge problem though, and we did enjoy ourselves by the time we left, but alcohol will do that. I did have to go get some quick and cheap comfort food afterwards, because despite the impressive bill, I still felt like I hadn't really eaten a full dinner.

Absolutely enchanting food and ambiance! We popped in for just dessert, and oh là là, we're lamenting not discovering this gem earlier. We delighted in the Château les Justices Sauterne paired with a hazelnut praline and caramel cookie. The staff? Full of character and the service? Simply magnifique! A blend of French charm and top-notch service makes this a must-visit. Cheers!

Great menu, superb ambiance, staff was pleasant and friendly. The food was well prepared and tasty.

Visited the amazing Montreal for my birthday weekend celebration and came to one of the finest restaurants I have ever been to. We have had one of the finest overall dining experiences here, besides the amazing food we were served. The restaurant is 100% compliant with the country's rules as per COVID-19 pandemic, as we were all asked to show our vaccine passports before being seated. They do highly recommend a reservation prior to coming to the restaurant. The staff was overall extremely warm, professional, and well-informed about the menu, in terms of recommendation. We started off with the Braised pork risotto, slices of foie gras, and omg did it melt in our mouths!! The foie gras was so fragrant and delicious and I went back bite after bite, wanting more of the risotto. This dish is definitely decadent and rich, but not overly too rich so you do not feel stuffed after eating it. It for sure set the tone for the rest of the meal and intrigued us more for the rest of the dishes. The risotto was soft and pillowy, as it was perfectly cooked. Next, we had the Duck breast, spelled, parsnip, almonds, brown sauce. The duck was also cooked to perfection, as it was moist, juicy, and flavorful. We could have honestly gone without the parsnip, it was a perfume-y taste and we did not prefer it. However, the duck was really the star and was cooked to perfection and went really well with the brown sauce. We also ordered the Beef strip loin, parsley bourgot, celeriac, maïtake, marrow sauce. OMG... GET. THIS. The beef was succulent, moist, perfectly cooked, perfect temperature, and AMAZING. The Sauce paired perfectly with it. This dish was hard to miss and def. recommend to get. We finished off with the chocolate, praline, vanilla cream, caramel ice cream, which was rich, and airy at the same time. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would def. come back for more food.

Outstanding. Great ambience, terrific service and the food was exquisite. Every dish had multiple layers of flavor. The scallops were lively as was the halibut and the guinea fowl. I had the strawberry/rhubarb dessert and it was incredible. Every bite was worth savoring. They brought warm milk fir the coffee which was a really nice touch. .

This was the best meal we had during a recent trip to Montreal. The scallops were delicious, as was the duck. We are more into the "peche" side of things than "chasse" and were very pleased with the seafood options. While the food is fancy fare, the restaurant itself has a "cool" factor and does not feel too formal. The decor is quirky. The only drawback was the service. While everyone was friendly and helpful, the service was fairly slow. This seemed to be true of most of the tables. This is not a place to get in and out in a timely fashion.

They have excellent service! Our group thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. The dishes were very flavorful. I highly recommend trying out their "risotto au cochonnet braisé", the foie gras just melts in your mouth, full of flavor! I suggest you take their wine pairing for the night menu. The waiters and waitress are very knowledgeable if you want a recommendation.

We had experienced so many great restaurants on our brief trip to Montreal. A friend recommended this one and it was the jewel in the crown. You have to search for it; however, it is so worth it! It is not just a meal, it is an experience. The atmosphere, the service and the food are more than exceptional.

By far the best meal I had in 2021, my boyfriend and I ordered the tasting menu and you won't have to worry to be hungry after! It comes in six services and portions were generous. It was so good that I forgot to capture all the plates. Photos are missing the two oysters and the risotto which were both excellent as well. Definitely recommended!

I loved the ambiance of this restaurant. The service was amazing. Very attentive. The quality of the food was good except for one dish where we had to exchange it because the meat was not as tender as it should be. However , their appetizers were exquisite and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back. The scallops are a MUST. As well as the cevice.

First in-restaurant dinner for us since the COVID shutdown, and it was wonderful. We went there last night for our anniversary, and had pretty much the place to ourselves, as we booked for 6 PM (a bit early than most people). The dining room felt very cozy, with muted lights and windows, dark walls and furniture. There was a mix of elegance (e.g. bespoke lights, tableware, leather chairs), charm (e.g. camouflage netting to mask a doorway), and eclecticism (e.g. art with integrated pulsing lights). Service was pleasant, impeccable and very attentive from beginning to end. We decided to have all of the evening menu, starting from a pair of oysters. They were served on a small bed of salt, with some crème fraîche, a sea buckthorn berry and a chamomille jelly. The resulting taste was very fresh yet creamy and rich from the liver mousse-like taste of the oyster. The first course was even better, with the hamachi crudo, which was beautifully displayed with shiitake, miso, etc. The flavors were very japanese, bold and harmonious. The scallops were seared on one side, golden like tangerines, and smelled like only freshly seared seafood can. The second course was heavier, especially with the risotto. The rice was perfectly cooked, with each translucent grain still showing at bit of its heart. The flavor was very rich, especially with the shaved frozen foie gras, which added an interesting contrast in temperature. The risotto got quite salty toward the second half (something I also experienced at Club Chasse et Pêche's sibling Le Filet...). The fish was halibut, which was mild in flavor, and paired with arroche, an interesting veg I rarely see. The third course continued to be good. The wagyu and lobster shone by themselved on a bed of creamy polenta, and although the acidic flavors of the gribiche were a bit aggressive, they nicely paired with the sweetbread. Desserts were very pretty and uncomplicated. The maple parfait was rich, balanced by the tartness of the red fruits. The mille-feuille-shaped cheesecake was light and refreshing, particularly with the layer of rhubarb. My favorite part was the decorative (Lemon Gem?) marigold, which had a beautiful citrus flavor. It was lovely dinner, very well paced. It took us around 1h30 overall. I felt full, but not bloated. The only bémol was that I was sitting close to the air conditioning and almost got a tummy ache from the cold air (stepping out into the hot summer evening after solved the problem).

I've been to this restaurant a couple of times before. I recently took my boyfriend there for his birthday. This restaurant has never failed me! I always start with a bloody Caesar cocktail when I go to a restaurant but I wouldn't recommend them here because they are just normal, nothing special Caesars. However, this time the waiter made my boyfriend's Caesar stronger than usual without charging for a double which was very much appreciated. This was followed by two different glasses of imported wine each and they were both so good and paired beautifully with the meal. We got two appetizers and two mains which we planned on sharing so the waitress asked the kitchen to split each dish into two separate plates so it was like we had our own tasting menu with dishes we chose ourselves. We started with the Hamachi tartare which was recommended to us by the waitress. It was light and fresh. It had cherry tomatoes and was served with a sesame cracker. I love tartare in general and this one was very good. We shared the braised piglet risotto with foie gras shavings on top. This was my favorite dish of the night! Even though it was split in two it was still a pretty good sized dish. Usually risotto is a hit or miss for me. I find it is usually either over cooked or under cooked. This risotto was cooked to perfection! For mains we shared the forest pig with gnocchi and the chasse et peche (AKA surf and turf). Both dishes were good. The chasse et peche consisted of pieces of steak, a lobster tail and pasta with basil. For dessert we had the cheesecake but it wasn't your typical cheesecake because there was no graham cracker crust. There was a blackcurrant sorbet on top. The dessert was light and not too sweet. They wrote "bonne fete" (i.e. Happy Birthday) on the cake. They don't have candles. I definitely recommend this restaurant. The food and the service is great! Doesn't disappoint!

This is a real favourite of ours, very welcoming with great service. The staff are mature and well informed about dishes and wine. It's a very relaxing and comfortable place to be with big leather chairs. There's no rush and the table is for the evening! The menu has a number of standards like the piglet risotto which is amazing. We have never been disappointed and it's always a sure bet if we are entertaining guests. Highly recommended but usually needs advance booking.

Came here after a work event with coworkers. The location is in the center of downtown Montreal. The food was very good. The portions are small but the seafood was really fresh. The food was very sharable. We ordered the fish, scallops and tartar. All of it was prepared really well. Service was excellent.

I think this is the 4th or 5th time I've been here, although it's been a few years since my last visit. I brought a big group from out of town here for a work dinner. It's a great location on a little side street in old Montréal. Same quirky and charming decor. When it first opened, someone described it as "David Lynch's rec room" and I always thought that was particularly apt. Service was competent and welcoming as always. The menu hasn't changed a lot in the years, and I was a little underwhelmed with this visit. Nothing really wrong with anything, but I think there are just so many new sexy places in Montreal now that are doing more creative things for similar price points. I had the octopus to start which was fresh and nicely cooked but slightly bland. Similar experience with the duck, nothing really wrong with it but no wow factor to the dish. Dessert was probably the star of the show, a beautiful caramel and chocolate confection that tasted as good as it looked. The waiter gave very good wine recommendations. It's still a very solid choice for dinner but I feel as though the menu could do with a revamp at this point.

Such a romantic and cozy atmosphere. This place is great for foodies who want to try real authentic food that represents montreal restaurants.

This place is known as one of the classics in Montreal and I finally got to try it last week. Took my friend here for his birthday and we were not disappointed! The ambience is nice, very classy, the old school restaurant with music not too loud but it is there enough to provide a background. It smelled delicious when we walked in, too so that was very promising from the start. The staff is very professional, curteous and knew exactly what they were doing at all times. They knew exactly how to be subtle in certain moments during dinner as well which was amazing. We ordered a bottle from their extensive list of deliciousness. We got a few plates, all to share: -scallops -the chasse et peche which was veal sweetbread & lobster -the veggie dish -the wagyu -the halcyon for dessert and in a very classy fashion, the kitchen split everything up into 2 plates for us (Bonus!!!!) EVERYTHING was delicious and very well prepared. They definitely keep up with their reputation :)

Le Club Chasse et Peche was the quintessential Old Montreal restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The ambiance was dark yet warm and romantic. The inside was old and made you feel like you were back in the 17th century. We started with the famous piglet risotto which was a smart choice. It was very rich, had wonderful chunks of pulled pork and frozen cherries that add unique texture and helps cut the rich heaviness. I would split this dish and they did split the bowl so it was easy to share. I had the lamb which was delicious and nicely cooked (medium rare). I really enjoyed the accompaniments (pine nuts, cauliflower, etc.) My boyfriend had the surf and turf special which was lobster and veal filet mignon. It was of course amazing and the sauce was divine. The only reason I did not give 5 starts was the portion size of the surf and turf. It was gone in under 5 minutes. For small portions they do give you endless bread which was nice. Thanks for the amazing meal and service was 5 stars!

I Will go back there next time we are in Montreal. Great restaurant, very professional staff, food was out of this world. The wine selection was rich. Hostess was quick to great us, took our coats and made sure we were seated right way. When the food arrived, the hostess came by discreetly to help the waiter serve the right plate to the right person. Amazing service.

The food was incredibly delicious as well as the drinks. To start we had a mix of oysters which is a staple to start a great meal. We then had our entrees deer and octopus. I've never had deer and it was soooooo good. It was crispy and a little bit salty on the outside and the meet was amazing. The octopus was really good too but the deer was much better! For the main course I had the Kobe beef and lobster which was incredible. However, once again my boyfriend picked the better tasting meal which was boar and wow I was blown away at how juicy and good it was. The desert was unique but didn't enjoy it as much. Really loved the customs ginger vodka drink I had as well! It was sweet and spicy!

Sooooo....... living in Las Vegas we have access to great food.... Let's just get right to the point here as I have no time to play games as you already know ;) This was one of the best dinners I have had in a long time. My friend PK insisted I came here and he was right. From the minute I walked into the place until the end everything was top notch! I could go into details about the ambiance, service, plating and food but rather keep this one short and real with saying it was 10/10. Amazing... Stop thinking about it and just go..... I will be coming back on every visit to Montreal which is at least 3 times a year. Until the next time..... stay classy folks and see you soon :)

Despite my best efforts, there are still numerous Montreal staples that I have yet to try. Be it for lack of occasion or honestly just forgetting about them, some restaurants have been continuously on my to-try list for years and years. Le Club Chasse et Pêche has been one such place. The old Montreal staple run by Claude Pelletier, long lauded for the quality of their work since 2004, has weirdly never been one that I would think about when looking for a high end restaurant for an occasion. Well, thankfully that was fixed for me as a friend of mine decided to have his birthday dinner take place there so I finally got to see if all the praise was justified. Located very unassumingly on a side street in the Old Montreal, Le Club Chasse et Pêche has a somewhat weird visual motif to me. Given the age of the building, they highlight some of its classic features - beautiful old stone walls and archways - in the periphery but the rest of the space is a mix of more modern touches - dark printed pattern wallpaper on the ceiling, black accent walls with a flat concrete-like finish, modernistic artwork, curved plastered walls which orient and separate the room in ways to make things feel more intimate but also weirdly disorienting. It works with the low lighting to create a very intimate ambience perfect for the type of special occasions that bring you to a place like this but personally not the type of style I enjoy. The menu is not big but frankly everything on the page sounded amazing. As a starter, I went with the crispy veal sweetbread served with a soubise sauce, comté, mustard and hazelnuts. I love sweetbreads so even though the rest of the items listed seemed like a weird mixture, I felt this dish call to me. It was superb - the sweetbread was cooked to perfection - juicy and tender but with a great exterior crunch. The onion sauce had a nice balance of sweetness and creaminess and the other elements worked well even if adding cheese, mustard and nuts to this would seem odd. Just trust me. The other starter I got to try through an exchange with the birthday boy was THE Club Chasse et Pêche classic starter - the braised piglet risotto topped with foie gras shavings. Holy cow did this dish not disappoint. My friend called it the best risotto he has ever had and I would agree. The risotto itself is cooked nicely - a touch firm but still very tender and the flavours are out of this world - the mixture of the pork and the rich foie gras made this so decadent but so powerful. Definitely a dish not to miss when you go! As a main dish, after much MUCH deliberation, I went with their version of the surf and turf, Le Chasse et Pêche, the component of which change regularly. On this occasion, it was buttery lobster and 30 day aged steak. Excellent preparation of both elements. The lobster was all rich and buttery goodness. The steak was seared perfectly and very tender. An excellent surf and turf. As a dessert, I decided to go with their Bomb - a caramel and milk chocolate tartelette served with an 80% chocolate sorbet. I loved the tarte - flaky and crisp with a great rich caramel flavour. Honestly I didn't like the sorbet - it felt too watery to me which gave us less impact than it should have. A minor quibble in a great meal. Le Club Chasse et Pêche was a great experience and worth the wait. The food was exquisite - our entire table left the dinner very full and satisfied. It may be easily missed when you walk around Old Montreal but believe it, it is definitely worth your attention. Don't wait as long as I did. Cheers!

Everything you should expect from a nice night out on Historic Montreal. Helen was very knowledgeable about the menu and charming - even chased after us to give me the phone I forgot on the table. I'm a big fan of hole in the wall and cheap eats but this place was worth the price tag. It was really nice to taste a lot of new complex flavors. It was just as good if not better than any meals we had in Paris. The duck beast is from free specially range ducks that also provide foie gras. AMAZING. 5 stars Fish slow cooked in olive oil - served with fish roe, dill, (US quarter sized) pancakes and a few other roots/veggies I cant describe. 4 stars Scallop appetizer - it was good but nothing to write home about. However, I am biased and when it comes to sea scallops (my favorite food) I believe less is more - just pan sear or slice them raw and let the natural flavor do it's thing. 3.5 stars Octupus appetizer - the meat falls apart in your mouth but for squid/octopus I prefer that slight snap when you bite into it. The sauces and garnishes really upped the game on this dish for me. 4 stars. The ambiance and Helen's engaging and witty company and service made this a top notch experience.

One of the finest restaurants in Montreal. In fact, one of the finest overall dining experience we've had the pleasure of experiencing. Period. From the first greeting, and throughout each course, the staff was extremely warm, professional, and well-informed about the menu. The intriguing choices, layers of flavors, and delicate touch come through with each bite. Bravo Chef Pelletier. The wine list? Spectacular, and serious, with many personally cultivated sources and selections. Though, we kept it simple, and opted for a recommended champagne that balanced beautifully across the meal. A single malt and a nice port with our desserts and, well, our anniversary celebration was perfect. Thank you.

The name means hunting and fishing club, and it was located in Old Montreal, with a very understated entrance. Once we entered, it was like we were members of a secret club! We really enjoyed pairing drinks with courses during these dinners out in Montreal, and this place didn't disappoint. We started with the braised piglet risotto, topped with foie gras shavings. It's one of their signature dishes, but quite heavy, so we split it. Decadent is the word I would use to describe it. My husband chose the Chasse et Peche dish, which is one of their specials. That night it was steak and lobster claw, his version of heaven. It was one of his favorite meals of our entire week in Quebec. For me, I chose the other special that changes all the time, the "Hot and Solid" meal, which pretty much describes my favorite type of meal, right? That night, it was veal with mushrooms and potatoes. It was marvelous, and it looked like art. Yum. I can't lie, it was delish. And yes, we got dessert, because vacation. But we split this tiny little log of goodness. I think it was their praline tile, but I can't be too sure. By the end of multi-course meals with loads of wine, I'm too tipsy to be a good blogger and remember everything.

First off, let me start by saying that coming here put me out of my comfort zone. I am very much a down-home kind of guy when it comes to restaurants; not junk food, but not Michelin star, you know what I mean? Having said that, a wedding gift brought us here on a Saturday night. The service is impeccable; neither snooty nor impersonal. I could tell the staff knew we were punching above our weight but they made us feel welcome and explained everything on the menu while offering great suggestions, even recommending nice wine-by-the-glass pairings for each of my wife's courses, which she loved. I started with the venison, which was the first time for me. It was the highlight of the whole meal. I've got the taste for wild game now. Then I had the rack of lamb, which was great but the venison still won out. My wife had the seared scallops followed by the actual chasse et peche plate, which was Kobe skirt steak and a half lobster. It was pretty incredible. Dessert was ok; nothing to write home about, but a nice way to end the evening. All in all, I wouldn't come here on my own dime; I don't know if it was truly worth the $300+ bill with tip for two people, but it was a good experience, especially the great service. And that venison!

Around the corner from Chateau Ramezay, Le Club Chasse et Peche is the epitome of rustic charm. With dark walls and old brick columns, the restaurant had a man-cave vibe that contributed to the congenial and boisterous atmosphere. There was the pleasant undercurrent that shows up right before the holidays. While the menu was fairly limited, every item sounded terrific so it took a while for us to make our final selections. We shared the piglet risotto which we were told it was a customer favorite. The dish was well-prepared and flavorful - just not to my taste. As entrée, I had the duck breast, which was perfectly prepared and served at the right temperature with thinly-sliced root parsley, small onions, in a wonderful sauce. I also loved the two small crispy morsels of duck, in a confit preparation. I usually don't comment on this aspect of a meal but the presentation was lovely. Dessert was also incredible. The chocolate tart had a shortbread crust and a flowing caramel interior. The 80% chocolate sorbet mellowed the sweetness of the tart. Service was outstanding.

Came on a Saturday night a hour before closing. Restaurant is located on a lovely Old Montreal street. Atmosphere was fantastic. Service was top notch. Braised Piglet Risotto with Frozen Foie Gras Shavings - 4, very rich Rack of Lamb - 5, very tender Orleans desert - 5, much tasty 5/5 overall. Great experience. Would eat at again.

When we first arrived in Montreal, we knew we wanted a nice dinner (something worth dressing up for), but we just didn't know where. A quick google search led us to this restaurant which showed up on most top lists and so my boyfriend quickly gave them a call. Although he called at around 6pm, we were still able to get a reservation for 9pm of the same night. Getting to the restaurant is quite simple, it's located near the Old Port and it has a nice exterior. We ordered some drinks -- a French martini for me as recommended by our excellent server! For appetizers we both decided to go for the piglet risotto which was extremely flavourful, rich and cooked just right (no soggy risotto for me!). For our main courses my boyfriend chose the wagyu, while I opted for the lamb chops. Both were cooked to the right temperature and like the risotto, both dishes were very good! While I can't speak so much for the American wagyu as I only had a couple bites, I can tell you that the lamb chops were juicy and tender and that the other ingredients (especially the figs which had a nice cinnamon taste) really complimented the dish well. We decided to share a dessert and we chose the chocolate and caramel tart. The presentation for this was beautiful, although we both found the contrast between the extremely sweet caramel and the dark chocolate ice cream a bit too much, we still enjoyed it. I can't end this review without speaking about the service! It's impeccable, they were all very friendly and helpful when we needed suggestions. You wouldn't need to ask them to refill your water, they're just that attentive! This restaurant was the perfect way to start our trip, a restaurant with great ambience and great food.

Le Club Chasse et Peche is owned by Chef Claude Pelletier and Hubert Marsolais and has been around since '07. This lodge-like restaurant offers not too extensive of an menu, including items such as 'Oysters with Charisma,' 'Beef Carpaccio, Truffle, Aioli, Celery, and Maitake,' 'Seared Foie Gras, Oranges, Seabuckthron, Sable, and Pistachios,' etc. The hubs and I came here for a late dinner reservation, and they do strictly adhere to the time - getting seated earlier isn't really an option, as this restaurant does get jam-packed. We tried the Braised Piglet Risotto, which came topped with foie gras shavings (I wasn't a fan of this dish, as while it was creamy, it had a very oatmeal-like taste to it with an off-flavor to it; the hubs was actually a fan of this dish, and thought it was one of the better risotto dishes he's had); Kid Ravioli (filled with feta, artichokes, and dressed with golden raisins; this came as pan-fried dumpling like, with a crispy exterior; however, I wasn't really a fan of the filling, as it was sweeter and tasted as if it was filled with mashed prunes); and, for the main entree, the Suckling Pig (with French fingerlings, kale, and walnuts - the pork itself was pretty tasty, as it was wrapped in bacon and flash-fried; the exterior had this nice salty crispiness to it; the pork inside was tender and super juicy; no sauce was even needed for the meat; the sides of the kale and the fingerling potatoes seemed like an afterthought, as they did not complement the pork). For dessert, the hubs had the Donuts that came with a scoop of hazelnut ice cream and drizzled with a creme anglaise - I thought the doughnuts were more on the dryer end, not being soft and fluffy; I had the Horizon, which was a clementine cake topped with small slices of blood orange and topped with cream cheese (this was okay, and I appreciated more of the slices of fresh blood orange). Service was friendly and full of humor - the servers, Mr. Phil, Mr. Damian, and Mr. Ray were all super sweet and welcoming. The restaurant itself felt like an underground dark 'club,' where there were even some club beats playing overhead. Just note that this restaurant is extremely loud, so it's definitely not a place for an intimate dinner - the combination of the music and the loud conversations was a little overwhelming. +Suckling Pig (just the pork portion) +ask for Mr. Phil, Mr. Damian, and Mr. Ray +reservations strictly adhered to

I have to say this was one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in a long time. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The halibut it was a dream. The service was amazing the inside was comfortable and cozy and inviting. I totally would suggest if you are ever in old Montreal you definitely put this on one of your restaurants to check out.

Omg. This is the best meal that I had in Montreal. The wine selection was excellent. All the dishes were super delicious and creative. I would definitely make another trip to Montreal to eat here again. The service was also top notch.

In summary - Le Club Chasse et Pêche delivers in contemporary upscale French cuisine! Set in the Old Port in a robust old stone building with no signs and no windows, this place isn't easy to find. Standing in front of it, you almost wonder if there is actually any sign of life inside. However, once you step inside, you immediately feel like you've just joined an exclusive yet very lively sort of men's club. Low ceilings and leather trimmings, you'd almost expect the hostess to hand you a glass of whiskey and a box of cigars. However, she instead gracefully hands you a menu where, as the name of the restaurant suggests, meat and fish are the star. Reading along the menu, you get a sense that dishes are imaginative as they pair french classics with modern ingredients. We started our experience with an appetizer of boar and lobster ravioli. The boar was delicious as it had crispy skin and perfectly rendered fat. The lobster was very rich in flavour but more ravioli than lobster. We followed with the piglet risotto topped with shavings of foie gras. The description in itself says it all. It was richness on top of richness but worth every minute spent on the treadmill as the flavours just exploded in your mouth. Apparently this dish has been on their menu since the opening, they are unable to take it off as it's just that good! For mains we opted for the duck and the venison. Again very creative dishes as both proteins were prepared two ways. The duck was served as a magret and as a duck heart salad while the venison was served as a tenderloin as well as a 'pulled pork style' shredded venison. Both dishes were beautifully executed, perfectly cooked and very tasty. However, they were not the best duck or venison we've ever had. The duck had a somewhat teriyaki flair and the shredded venison had a bit too much bbq sauce to fully appreciate the meat. As for the service, it was very professional but lacked that spark that in our minds would have made it exceptional. Overall, this is a solid place to impress a date or anyone worth impressing. Although you probably won't have a mind blowing foodie experience, you can definitely expect to have consistently delicious food served in a intimate and exclusive 'club like' setting.

Food: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 10/10 When you think of a $$$ restaurant, this is the experience you should deserve. My family and I came here during our trip to Montreal and we were very happy with our choice. The place is tastefully hidden on a dimly lit street with barely any sign or notice that the restaurant is even there. It's different, almost as if you know the location of a secret club (which I thought was incredibly cool). The wait staff here is polite and attentive as they should be. Even before getting our appetizers I was impressed with the attention to detail of the restaurant. Everyone's bread was. positioned in the exact same way and had the same sized pieces. These are the little details that I think make an expensive restaurant worth its value I ended up ordering the fish with the rabbit as an appetizer. The rabbit was delicious! Im not exactly sure what was on it (apples and some sort of grain...maybe quinoa?), but the seasoning was great. The fish was well cooked although it could have used a bit more seasoning (the rice and vegetables had most of the flavor).

TL;DR: Great food, fantastic ambiance, but experience was soured by the service. Secured prime time Friday night reservations weeks in advance for a birthday dinner. The decor is dark, classy, and romantic. Like a sexy hunting lodge? We started off with two Old Fashioneds, which were very spirit forward. Way more than I'm used to. The waiter actually noticed by the end of our (very, very long) meal that I barely drank mine, and comped the drink, which was a nice touch. For food, we split several dishes including the oysters ("Oysters with Charisma") which were prepared in three ways, seared scallops, braised piglet risotto, seared foie gras, halibut with black rice risotto, American wagyu, and maple syrup parfait. They actually split all of the appetizers and entrees into plates, so it felt like a mini tasting menu. Standouts for me included the risotto, foie, and halibut. Suckling pig risotto was super rich, but saved from textural and flavor monotony by chunks of pork, foie gras shavings, and some fruit. The black rice risotto that came with the halibut was the stuff that dreams are made of. And I don't usually like foie, but theirs was perfectly seared and paired extremely well with buckwheat bread and dried stone fruits. Would not order the cooked oysters or wagyu again (former came in a very unpleasant sauce, and the latter was actually overcooked with a very large gray ring). Service was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. It was a bit ominous when we walked in and the host couldn't find our reservation (but the maitre d' was able to see it at a glance). At one point in our meal, it seemed like they had actually forgotten about us, and we waited 40+ minutes for the wagyu course, which came out slightly warm and overcooked. And as I mentioned previously, while it was a nice touch that they comped my drink, this came at about three hours into the meal (and well after the aforementioned wagyu incident). Water glasses also sat unfilled for rather long periods of time. Cautious 4 stars for the service at this price point, but it's probably some of the best food in town.

Interesting place. Very unassuming frontage. It's dark inside and very "adult", but our toddler daughter was treated fantastically by the staff, as our stroller was well attended to. Fortunately she behaved appropriately! The braised piglet risotto with foie gras shavings was decadent and delicious. Definitely one of the food highlights of our Canada trip. The duck magret (breast) with cauliflower, fave beans and wild flowers honey was only serviceable, as I found the combination just not that interesting, despite the preparation being fine. My wife had the fresh catch (which we don't remember what type it was, perhaps halibut), with corn, fiddleheads, and chanterelle. She enjoyed it, although I didn't get a chance to try it. Service was stellar. We had great personal attention for our largish party, and felt very comfortable during the entire well paced meal. A wonderful feel inside this clubby atmosphere.

I wanted to try Le Club Chasse et Pêche for years! Finally got to try it for my wedding anniversary. I had a very high expectations of the food because I heard a lot of good things about the restaurant and it did not disappoint. For appetizers, my husband ordered the scallop and me the foie gras! The scallops were a bit small for the price but we're very tasty. The foie gras was excellent too! For the main dishes, we've ordered the Chasse et Peche (lobster and steak) and my hubby loved it! I've ordered the catch of the day which was the halibut and it was perfectly cooked. As desserts, we had the "bombe" and the "haute couture". Both desserts were good, but I preferred the haute couture (cuz I love hazelnut). Service was not especially friendly or personalized, very standard. As for the price, it's quite expensive and portions were small. This is why I'm giving it 4 stars.

We had dinner at Le Club Chasse et Pêche. Service was excellent - the servers were very knowledgeable about their menu and answered our questions about the menu very well. The atmosphere is romantic and dim-lit. Very classy :) DRINKS: weingut Robert Weil, Rheingau, riesling trocken 2013 (pour moi) celler Hidalgo Albert, Priorat ''1270 a Vuit'' 2008 (pour mon copain) TRUFFLE PASTA (5/5) This was the special of the day and I highly recommend this! I hope they continue making this dish as a regular. The truffle flavour tasted amazing - a very nice combination with the creamy pasta. Loved this! BRAISED PIGLET RISOTTO (3/5) (with foie gras shavings) I got to admit, first bite was AMAZING! But the more I ate this, the saltier it got. The foie gras shavings were perfect though (but keep in mind, I'm biased about FGs, I love them! haha) OCEAN DELIVERY (4/5) (Cod fish, black rice, turnips, russula) This was so delicious. The cod fish was soft and the side dishes paired well with it. I needed something on the lighter end as my dinner from the night before was too fatty haha. VENISON (4/5) (hubbard squash, gnocchi, girolle, Louis d'or) The meat was delicious and tender. I liked the purée portion of the dish - adds so much flavour to the dish!

I don't often give a 5 but this place deserves a 10. It's a must place to eat at. Piglet risotto with truffle shaving is outstanding. Thank you for a great dinner. PS look out for Nicolas Cage he is watching you.

I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday last week and I have no regrets. The food was very good. We got trout and cod which was perfectly cooked. Beautiful presentation to boot. We started with oysters which were great and then shared a wonderful refined tuna tartare plate. But my favourite part of this restaurant is the ambiance. It's got that old school feeling. Low-lit, low-ceilings, stone walls and big leather chairs which the waiters graciously pull out for you to sit. They also take your jackets when you come in. The waiters are attentive and always make sure you have a drink. Chasse et Peche is the definition of classy. It's a breath of fresh air when so many other special occasion type restaurants in town will happily toss you a bill for hundreds of dollars at the end of the night without creating an environment to relax and unwind so you can actually enjoy the food and company.

This is hands down the BEST restaurant in Montréal. The service will leave you completely out of words, and the food will do the same. This restaurant has a very welcoming and cozy ambiance, and they treat you very well. Staff is very well informed on their menus, and you can tell they genuinely love working there. The food and service keeps bringing us back. They're doing EVERYTHING right See you soon C&P!

Simply put, this was an incredible dining experience. Location: The unassuming entrance makes this a bit hard to find. Once inside, the cave-like structure of the restaurants gives you a very intimate feeling. It was hard to tell how many people were actually at the restaurant, but we know it was booked to capacity as reservations are hard to come by even weeks in advance. Service: Superb! In fact, it was on par with the food. All of our waiters gave us great recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. They were so gracious, in fact, we were tempted to invite them out with us following their shift. Food: I'm not sure my review could do this meal justice. Every dish was incredible! No matter what you pick, you can't go wrong. My advice would be to try to secure a reservation well in advance as the earlier seatings do fill up quickly and certain dishes have a limited availability.

Chasse et Peche is a very nice restaurant nestled in Old Port. Inside reminded me a bit of Gibby's--low ceilings, exposed stone walls. We went for a fairly early dinner (6PM) so it was rather quiet but it continued to pick up as the meal went on. Fine dining vibes without being too pretentious. Service was definitely a highlight. Our server explained the entire menu in great detail and was very attentive. We started with oysters and tried two of each kind--all were delicious. For the main, I couldn't resist the "Chasse et Peche" after hearing the waiter describe it. The surf and turf platter was outstanding, with each meat/seafood prepared perfectly and a fantastic sauce to go with it. Overall a great experience at Chasse et Peche! P.S. make sure you write down the address or you'll walk right by the door without a sign!
