  • Genuine Family-Friendly Dining

    A welcoming table for family groups where thoughtful kids' meals match the high quality of the main menu at a fair price point.

    including the kids' dishes which may be simple (and probably boring to the chef) but made with care and the same level of quality as the 'real' stuff!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to book a table in advance?

Booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings when tables fill quickly. While walk-ins are occasionally accommodated due to cancellations, reservations can be made easily in advance.

How are the pasta and main course portion sizes?

Portion sizes are generally generous across the menu, including hearty mains like eye fillet steak and baked pastas. However, delicate filled pasta dishes such as the truffle mushroom ravioli come in lighter portions and pair best with an entree or dessert.

Do they serve wine and cocktails?

Yes, Montibello features a curated wine list and signature drinks like the Monty Spritz, alongside reasonably priced alcoholic options to pair with dinner.

How convenient is parking and public transport?

The restaurant is located directly next to the Montmorency railway station, making train transit simple and eliminating parking concerns.
