A reasonably priced French bistro (you know, like $18-24 for main courses) that will have tourists and visitors exclaiming "it's just like the kind you'd find in Paris" ad nauseum until you finally have to tell them, "Montreal is like Paris in the same way that New York is like London." Funnily enough, Au Petit Extra reminds me more of the "Parisian bistros" you find in New York rather than Paris but it looks authentic enough and, more importantly, it's got the food to back it up. With its large gilded mirrors, huge blackboard menus, and lots of wood, it looks like the dictionary definition of a bistro. All in all, I'd say it's as good as the more famous L'Express but far easier to get a table (I've gone twice sans reservation). The steak frites are particularly good.
