The Plateau’s Le Pégase has quietly held its place as a beloved French BYOB spot for over 25 years, defying the flashy trends with its unpretentious charm and seriously good food. Chef Michael Audet-Laparé, who came up through local legends like Chez Victoire and Grenadine, has brought a refined yet comforting take on French classics since taking the reins to craft dishes like rack of lamb and escargots that are unapologetically rich and perfectly executed.
The ambiance is intimate, warmed by soft lighting and a tasteful recent refresh by La Firme, which added a modern touch to the long-standing decor. Co-owner Damien Haennel and his team bring decades of hospitality experience, making every service feel effortless and welcoming. Le Pégase’s loyal patrons know what they’re here for: expertly prepared French cuisine in a cozy, familiar setting where they can bring their own bottle and linger over every bite.
