Bistro (Le) Restaurant

Really good sauce on my pizza. Friendly service and good pizza crust. Great for families.

Great wood fired pizza, wonderful waittress. Nice different beers on tap. Fries are great– cooked in pure lard!
Anything beats the fairmont food — crazy prices there

Pizza is done in the wood oven, with a great basic sauce and a delicious dough. Completely unexpected goodiness. A must for when looking for something to eat near monte bello.

We were tired of getting mugged at the hotel restaurant. Found this on Unilocal.Seems like a regular place for all the locals. Cold beer great pizza great service. Only thing I would recommend is an english menu.

If you are looking for somewhere in Montebello to have a good pint and enjoy a fresh pizza oven pizza, this is the place to go. We went in on a Sunday night and enjoyed the spaghetti bolognese and a pizza. Both were very good. We are fans of St Ambroise beer and enjoyed a few pints.
The restaurant was only slightly busy as we were there in January after Christmas. I understand it is very busy in the Summer months.
We were staying at Château Montebello and wanted to bail on the hotel food. What a good decision. Do walk down … even in the cold so that all can have a pint. It is a 15 min walk approximately from the Château.

I’m staying at the Château Montebello for two days with my family but we definitely didn’t want to pay for the overpriced food here so we looked for great reviews on places nearby. Le Bistro had raving reviews and great prices so we tried this place for dinner tonight.
We came here around 5pm to beat the crowd. It’s about a 2 minute drive from the château and there’s a huge parking lot right across the street from it. The restaurant has a big hallway entrance and then you’re greeted by the staff. The seating area is split into front and back (and a patio for the summer). We chose the front (which was practically empty) and got menus and drinks fairly quickly. The menu itself is typical American cuisine (soup, salad, pizza, burgers, etc.) with lower than expected prices for the Montebello touristy area. Most of the pizzas are in the 10 – 15 $ range with sizes of 8″, 10″, 12″. Salads are about 5 – 10 $ are are good for family style. They had garlic bread for 3 $ and soups for about the same price. Drinks (tea/​coffee) are about 2 $ while beers (on tap) are about 5 – 6 $. The most exotic thing would be the escargot, but we weren’t in the mood for the fancy stuff.
The three of us ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken ($ 10), large fries ($ 5), 8“Hawaiian pizza (10 $) and 12″ house special pizza (16 $). All of the food was really good (not amazing compared to upscale restaurants but really great comfort food). The pizzas were definitely the highlight. All the toppings were super fresh and they didn’t skimp out on sauce or cheese either. I would consider the crust to be on the thin side (which I usually dislike) but it was baked perfectly that I didn’t mind at all. The balance of dough to toppings was great. Delish pizza! (We all agreed that the special was better than the Hawaiian.) We were stuffed by the end of the night and pretty much took an entire 12″ pizza home (oops! But yummy leftovers!!!) and we didn’t finish all the fries either. Yayyy big portions!
The staff at Le Bistro was fantastic from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. All the waitresses tended to us and always with a smile. With their minimal English and my high school French it was really easy to figure everything out. The décor of the restaurant was simple and clean and the whole atmosphere was great .
Overall this is a pretty typical restaurant, but because of its location and how it compares to others in the area I would say it’s definitely above the rest. I recommended giving this place a go. Coming back again the next time I’m here for sure.

We stopped in Montebello for a quick snack and we found this place to be perfect and delicious.
We ordered two sandwiches: chicken and ham & swiss.
Both were fresh and hit the spot [even the chicken which was basically just shredded chicken on white toast].
There’s an outdoor patio and lots of beers on tap.
The waitresses were friendly and very patient with my very butchered and confusing French!

Simple, casual place for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Would recommend any of the pizzas and the caesar salad.

Nice, informal pasta and pizza place with a good selection of draft beers. We went for lunch. The service was friendly and fast. It’s a great alternative to paying outrageous prices at Château Montebello. Try the beer tasting: six 4 oz portions for $ 9.95
