Monsieur B does what too many BYOBs aim for but few actually pull off: great food, fair prices, and a vibe that feels like a genuine neighbourhood staple, not a concept. Tucked into the Plateau and open even on Sunday and Monday nights, it’s an easy go-to when other kitchens are closed and your best bottle’s burning a hole in your bag. Chef Félix Madore Sztuka turns out a small but sharp menu of French-inspired plates—elegant without being showy. One night might feature duck confit tart, another, a truffle chicken ballotine with lemon waffle and goat cheese espuma. There’s also a tasting menu for those looking to go all in, plus the option to add fries with extra mayo (which you should absolutely do). The décor keeps things unpretentious—intimate but not cramped, and easy to settle into. Owner Marc-André Paradis knows the formula: trust good people, keep the standards high, and let the food speak for itself.
