Total Enjoyment
In the gourmet world of Le Continental, traditional cuisine is classical. Enjoy the perfect service, the great flambéed dishes that pay tribute to the delicious French cuisine. The Continental's wine cellar is most impressive with its board of famous selection of French, Italian and American wines. It offers a choice of more than five thousand bottles, four hundred different varieties from Grands Crus classés to affordable prices.

Griffintown/St-Henri

About the restaurant

Old Montreal restaurant classics in the heart of Little Burgundy. An homage to Charles "Joe-Beef" McKiernan, 19th century innkeeper and Montreal working class hero. A drunken crawl away from the Historic Atwater market. Steaks and seafood.

Saint-Lambert

About the restaurant

Limousine is a gastronomic bistro inspired by French cuisine, located in the heart of the Saint-Lambert Village. Here, we celebrate the art of excess, indulgence, and refined pleasure, creating an atmosphere where every evening becomes a unique occasion.
Our cuisine, both refined and comforting, draws from the nostalgia of timeless flavors while creatively reinventing classic French dishes. Each plate embodies the perfect balance between tradition and boldness.
At the bar, iconic cocktails are subtly reinterpreted, with the Martini as the centerpiece, offering an experience that is both familiar and new.
Limousine is a place where elegance flirts with exuberance, a space where we take pleasure in savoring, toasting, and where the evening naturally extends.
Welcome to Limousine!

It was our second time at Limousine. This time we were able to get a reservation last minute, but at the counter. That was fine. Beef tartare is one of the best I have eaten in Montreal. Each dish had something special, a taste of something that was delicious but it took a while to pinpoint what it was. It’s very noisy and even when the table behind us were being served, I could not hear my dining companion. We had to wait until they calm down to resume our conversation. But it’s part of the atmosphere. Both times I sat on the same of the restaurant and I will request the other side next time. I will go back, and often. Such a treasure to have a restaurant of this quality on the South Shore.

About the restaurant

Three delightfully decorated halls in the Empire style that dominated
the Napoleonic era give the restaurant the intimate character
that guests treasure. An exquisite cuisine, prepared with French savoir-faire
and showcasing the finest fresh regional products.
