Since 1931 and revived in 2024, Restaurant Ile de France combines old-world French culinary traditions with contemporary Montreal influences in the heart of Downtown.
Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Chef Liam Hopkins
From the OpenTable editors: The stunning Art Deco architecture is reason enough to visit this landmark restaurant in Centre Eaton de Montréal, which first opened in 1931. Evenings flow from the elegant cocktail bar to the fine dining restaurant, where diners can indulge in classic fare such as prime beef tenderloin or gnocchi Parisienne while admiring the space’s well-preserved historic features.

Découvrez l'élégance intemporelle à l'Île de France, un restaurant qui a élevé la scène gastronomique montréalaise. Montez au 9e étage d'Eaton's et canalisez votre Audrey Hepburn chez Tiffany's – c'est une occasion qui mérite votre plus belle tenue pour s'harmoniser avec le raffinement du restaurant.
La vue imprenable sur la Place Ville Marie prend une nouvelle dimension magique depuis ce point d'observation, offrant une perspective rafraîchissante sur notre ville bien-aimée.
Si l'ambiance et la cuisine sont exceptionnelles, c'est le service impeccable qui distingue véritablement l'Île de France. L'attention aux détails du personnel est orchestrée par le remarquable maître d'hôtel, Dominick Juneau , dont la présence digne d'un défilé milanais et le professionnalisme consommé subliment chaque visite. Son élégance naturelle incarne parfaitement l'atmosphère raffinée du restaurant.
Chaque visite ici crée des souvenirs magiques, et celle-ci n'a pas fait exception. L'Île de France demeure une destination précieuse où l'élégance, la gastronomie et un service exemplaire se rencontrent. J'attends déjà avec impatience ma prochaine visite.

Beautiful space. Food was pricey and only above average. Service was ok but strange. For example, they did not tell us about oysters on the menu but we saw them and asked and server said he didn’t tell us because they were on limited supply… not cool. I don’t think I’ll go back. Not worth it more than once.

Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The service and the ambiance were the best part of this dining experience
The food is ok. Allegedly I was going to have homemade cavatelli, what I got was conchiglie and out of the box. Too much water was added to the mushrooms resulting in a watered down dish. I had decided to add fresh truffle, and it was a waste of money due to the reasoning above
