Bistro

Mentioned in: Where to Eat Near IGA Stadium in Montreal

Review Summary

Reviews place Anemone as a stylish, convivial spot where a sharing style menu reinvents familiar dishes and delivers visually stunning plates, with standouts like melt-in-the-mouth scallops and seafood highlights that many call extraordinary. The service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and knowledge, and the overall experience is described as top notch from start to finish, though a few notes mention pacing issues or that the kitchen could be quieter at closing. The ambiance is often described as chic and welcoming with attractive decor and a pleasant terrace, but some guests point out noise levels or seating variations that affect the mood. Wine is frequently noted in reviews, sometimes with remarks about price, and the menu offerings, including tasting options, are widely celebrated for flavor balance and originality, even if a few dishes feel portion sizes small. A rare critique mentions an issue with sand in a spinach dish and a feeling that value could be better, yet the consensus remains that Anemone stands out in Montreal for creative, refined dining and reliable service, making it a place most would return to.View restaurant profile
