Over the years, I’ve come to really appreciate good French restaurants more and more. So when we found ourselves on the North Shore in early November, we decided to pop into Chez Michel. Located on the 2nd floor, this cozy eatery didn’t disappoint. Our meals began with the requisite complimentary bread and butter. There’s just something about fresh, crusty bread that really speaks to me. Plus, they refilled our bread without even asking. We weren’t sure how hungry we would be so they offered to prepare a side Caesar Salad ($4.50) instead of a full order. French Onion Soup ($10) is something that I always make a point of trying at a French restaurant and this one didn’t disappoint. Lots of tender onions in the bowl and a super cheesy pull with each spoonful. Last up was their Special Moules Frites ($27) – they had a number of ways that this could be prepared but we opted for the saffron, pernod, garlic, butter, and fennel. The mussels comes with a big serving of addictive fries (with a mayo dipping sauce). Speaking of large…. this bowl of mussels was overflowing. The 1lb of mussels were really good (no closed shells) and the mussels were nice and plump. Overall, really good food here and service to match. We’re definitely planning on returning in the future.

I'm giving this place a two star review rather than a one because I respected the servers and their effort to make our night special. But the reason it's getting such a low rating is because in the middle of our dinner, the owner of the restaurant decided to come around every single table without wearing a mask and leaning in way closer than needed to say hi. We're in the middle of a pandemic. You can't expect the people eating to put a mask on when they see you walking towards them. Have the courtesy to protect the people who are paying to come to your restaurant. Needless to say, we will no longer be dining at this place. Edit: The owner called my husband to shout for 11 minutes about this review. We feel it's important to share the rest of our experience and adjust our review from 2 stars to 1 accordingly. We booked a table for 2, 47 days in advance for our anniversary, and didn't get a window seat. There was a 26 person party booked during our visit. More than half the restaurant had been sectioned off for the event.

It's part of the community now. They are well establish. I can always count on the quality and being consistent. I go there for the food mainly even though they know their wines. At the beginning, there was two owners Today, there is only one who keeps it french all the way, music included. I sang a few songs while waiting for my food. It does not take long to come to the table and the kitchen knows what to do. I was happy to have my " frites" and steak both warm. I know some place where they can not serve both hot. I always regret that, not chez michel. Bravo kitchen! I ordered what I like best or taste missing since the last them I was there. ( before covid). My regret is missing the food on their special of the day. So sad, one stomach and many plates. I will return and share of bottle of wine with my wife. I can not wait as long as I did. Guilty of staying in touch!

Great food and wine! The owner was funny and charming, he has great knowledge on Wine. Highly recommended, rating the place 5 out of 5 doesn't justify how please I am with Chez Michel.

Jacky Ng

An old traditional French restaurant. Warm and welcoming decorations, service is good and friendly. Tasty French onion soup, not too salty and full sweetness of onions ????. Main dishes were good and right portion. Who doesn’t love the crème brûlée and Hazelnut chocolate mosses at main courses? Recommend!

Dylan Hahn

Wonderful intimate atmosphere only surpassed by the food and service

Yves Duranleau

Phil LeGree

Very classy with a nice view. Excellently cooked meats and seafood. The owners are constantly present and will chat. Nice wine menu, definitely check their daily specials for wine and food!

This French restaurant is a GEM! A favourite spot of WV locals and visitors alike, stepping into Chez Michel is like stepping into a charming restaurant in Paris, complete with white tablecloths, French music, wine, delicious food and courteous, efficient staff. The food is exquisite and their unique specials are inspired, using fresh ingredients with each dish being beautifully plated and served. Personally, I have been going to this terrific restaurant since the late 70's and have never been disappointed! Excellent track record by any measure! Enjoy!

Place where I loved and had alot of fond memories with family

Nelson Chey

Disappointing (both service and food) - my first and last time at this location - visited yesterday, didn't even sit down properly after arriving and the server told me that they needed the table in less than 2 hours (even though I called a few days earlier to made a reservation... never had a situation like this before...), but well, I thought I was there for the food... The daily specials looked good on paper, but the food was rather average, I ordered elk, did I eat it, yes (I was hungry), would I recommend it - no, it tasted like a typical average pub food, but far from French cuisine... Did I tip? Yes, because that's what I do, would I recommend this place? Definitely not... Real French cuisine tastes well better, my creme brule was the ultimate test... eatable that's it... We were rushed by 2 servers to finish before 7:30 (since they booked the table for someone else), I'm not rushed to write this review... P.S. added later - just reading the owner's reply to my review - same level of ignorance as during my visit there, which means they will keep on timing guests to the minute... No comment as to the average quality of food, so he's not only missing the point but maybe also missing the real French food LOL and just serving whatever or maybe he does not even know what good food is, in either case a sad story... Please, more places where the owners cook and serve with passion, this is unfortunately not one of them...

This is one of the oldest French restaurants still in operation. I remember my parents telling me it was too expensive to eat there. So after 40 years I decided to visit. My daughter wanted to eat somewhere fancy so for her hard work at school I decided to oblige her. It was really busy and we were lucky to get a reservation. We ordered Caesar salad and the onion soup. The onion soup was exceptional, not salty, not too much cheese with great bread. I had the elk steak which was really tasty and didn't have too much of a gamey flavor. We shared a beaujolais which is one of the few reds that can go with fish or meat. The almond crusted halibut was really good. The chicken in vol au vent pastry was so good my daughter intentionally didn't finish it so she could take some home to prolong the flavor experience. We had some of the best crepes suzette ever with crême brûlée on the side and a Sauternes wine. Excellent

Excellent family run dining room. Authentic french cuisine. Fantastic duck preparation, red snapper provencal style. The wine list is reasonably priced and excellent. Highly recommend it.

Mediocre meal and service

Marlene Lougheed

One of the last great Traditional French restaurants. The food is exquisite.

Kevin C.

Great little gem right off the ferry in snug cove. The service was excellent, food came quickly and it was of high quality. Cobb salad was delicious and so was the French onion soup. Will have to try this again for dinner next time I'm on the island or maybe I'll just go back tonight!
