Chez Chose

Sunday brunch review: after hearing my boyfriend rant and rave about this place for a year I thought it about time to give it a try. We were lucky that it was a beautiful day and the restaurant was less than half full. The host (husband and wife couple) came running from the back of the restaurant to welcome my boyfriend back with hugs and kisses telling him that they missed him. Wow, I’ve never seen that happen anywhere in any restaurant I’ve ever been to. I knew the service was going to be exceptional and it was. Before leaving we were able to chat with the chef and praise the food.
Oh yeah… Besides love and great service they can cook some pretty amazing food. I had the French Toast Monte Cristo. Holy shit, this was the most flavourful and savoury breakfast I’ve ever had. It’s basically a grilled cheese with some pretty thick bread but stuffed with rabbit meat, garam masala, mustard… I thought I tasted some stewed raisins in there too but not sure. All topped with a sprinkle of maple syrup. Again… Best breakfast I’ve ever had!
Do yourself a favour and order the foie gras as an entrée. For $ 10 it’s a steal.
They sold me on the cocktail of the day which was a gin and tonic with rhubarb juice and a few drops of beet juice for colour. One of the best gin tonics I’ve ever had.
My bf had the egg stew in tomato sauce with leek and chorizo. I had a bite, it was good, but I was happy to have taken the «French toast.»
The filter coffee is bland. Nothing special. They should switch to different beans.
I’ll definitely be back for supper. This is a gem in Montréal and for the quality/​price it’s also a steal.

Has an amateurish vibe but friendly and comfortable.
Food is ok. Some were great (mushroom surprise amazing), some were bad (the beef dishes).
I worry for their future

Amazing staff … So sweet and translated everything word by word for us from the menu (were from Toronto) … Food was amazing… reasonably pric ed

Quelle bonne nouvelle quand j’ai su que chez chose demenageait sur Belanger. Avoir un restaurant gastronomique à moins de 10 minutes à pied de chez soi est un pur plaisir. Les plats sont savoureux. La cave bien choisie. Que demander de plus!

I went there for Valentine’s Day and definitely had a lovely experience! Although the restaurant is located in a sketchy place for fine french cuisine, the staff is super welcoming and available for advices.
For french cuisine beginners, it’s a bit hard to figure out what’s on the menu because they use lots and lots of fancy ingredients that I can barely remember. But that makes the experience more fun if you want to try new things.
Chez Chose is great for romantic dates and if you get the chance to have a dessert, I’d definitely recommend to try the Chocolate cream Jar with caramelized avelines and chantilly… it’s like having a mouthful of ferrero chocolate, perfect match of not-​too-​sweet nutty taste.

Food was good but not great. Over salted and portions out of balance for a tasting menu. I wanted to really like this place but I won’t be back, with all the phenomenal options in Montréal. The service was really spotty, and our server basically told us what we wanted instead of having a conversation, which ended up with my friend ending up with a bottle of wine she didn’t choose, and a charge for her to have the last glass paired with our meal (we both paid for the pairing), all because we told him she didn’t like red wines.

Incredible restaurant. A little out of the way and the neighborhood looks sketchy but the most welcoming couple own the restaurant and they’ll spend half an hour explaining the menue to you in detail. We LOOOVED this place

This is a wonderfully well operated restaurant — run by an amazingly hospitable family. The food, drink, and atmosphere were everything I hoped for — a fantastic place to celebrate a special occasion.
