Bistro 1843

Simply the best … if you really want to eat absolutely the best meal in the world then make a reservation and go!

Pas de quoi se petter les bretelles, c’est bon mais j’ai connu mieux. Un filet mignon bleu, pas vraiment bleu… disons saignant. Pour un mercredi pas trop plein, pas trop présent les serveurs, si vous voulez du pain en extra, faut le demander. A voir les derniers commentaires, faut croire que les gens né sortent pas beaucoup…

This is by far the best restaurant we’ve been to and believe me We’ve been to many. The young couple come from N.B. and are absolutely fantastic, both as chef and guest receiving. The food is out of this world and their specialties (on the chalkboard) include soup or salad, choice of 3 main courses, dessert and coffee or tea all for about $ 40. It’s a BYOB as well. Reservations are a must and once you go, you’ll know why. This is a 5 star rating as we’ve been many times and have never been disappointed.

Finally a great restaurant with excellent service and you could bring your own wine.

I would give 5 stars to this hidden gem.
Have gone several times and never disappointed.
The chef is from Alberta and really knows how to cook the meat dishes.
Personal and intimate atmosphere.
Have to reserve ahead… we reserved 2 months ahead for the Christmas get together.

Nice simple place, good food — but not clear on why there is such a long waiting list to get a table. It’s not that earth shattering…

This restaurant is a true hidden gem on our little Island. It is small and you are treated like family when you dine here.
I was not sure if I should write this review, it is already booked ahead of time and reservations are strongly recommended — the more people know about it… The harder it will be for us «locals» to get in.
This is not a commercial franchise style restaurant, they basically have 2 «seatings» and this historical dining room (the old Viger house living room) sits about 30 people.
It is a true pleasure and the quality value is outstanding. if this restaurant were in Old Montréal, you would be paying double the price and it would already have some major write-​ups!
BYOB as well — added bonus!!!
Well done!

Great place, great french food hosted by a young lovely people. BYOW makes the cost of the meal more reasonable so you can splurge and try some of the excellent and varied fairs on the table d’hote or a la carte.
Make sure to make reservation, this place is always booked solid.

Très bon resto français! Situé dans une belle maison (probablement centenaire), l’ambiance est chaleureuse et intime. Les coupes de viandes et cuissons sont excellentes, servies avec des sauces très aromatiques, et se marient vraiment bien ensemble. Tout est vraiment très bon, de la soupe au dessert!
N’oubliez pas votre vin! Le resto n’est pas très grand et bien connu dans le coin alors réservez tot!

This tiny oh so charming French Bistro is really worth the trip. It’s been a couple of months since I went there but I can still taste how tender and perfectly cooked my venison filet was (sublime). The crab cake was melt in your mouth. It is a bit pricy — $ 60+ (tax and tip) for my meal which was one of the choices on the Table d’hôte and included soup and desert. I was too stuffed to eat desert so they deducted a couple of bucks off the bill which I thought was nice. Best part — it’s bring your own wine! Service was friendly the chef even chatted with us for a couple of minutes on the way out. Can’t wait to go back !
