    This was a fantastic experience. We ordered the 2 course special for lunch. Tried the escargot, French onion soup, steak and mussels. The serving size was generous and the food was AMAZING. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the downtown Montreal area.

    9e is an elegant yet relaxed restaurant, with excellent servers, very polite and respectful, and beautiful background music from several cultures and time periods. Our meals were simple yet perfectly prepared (an omelette for my friend, and beer-battered cod with greens for me). We celebrated with a glass of prosecco, and shared a wonderful dacquoise, a decadent chocolate cake with a praline outer layer, and rich cream to spoon on the top. A great treat for us both!
