Parapluie is described as a warm, energetic, intimate spot with an open kitchen that feels like a small theatre, where the staff are consistently attentive and friendly, and the bar offers a front row view of the cooks. Reviewers praise the food for creative, refined flavors and high quality ingredients, with crowd pleasers such as the egg mayo with lobster, trout, crudo of scallops, and gnudi, and a well balanced beef tartare that some nights may feel a touch sweet while others highlight its texture and balance. The service is frequently celebrated as professional and welcoming, with wine and cocktail recommendations that elevate the experience. Many note that the menu changes with the seasons and the wine by the glass and cocktails are well paired with the plates, though a few guests mention small portions for the price and high wine costs. A few visits mention heat and noise on warm days, but the atmosphere remains lively and warm, suitable for a date or a night out with friends. A rare hygiene concern was raised by one party about tasting practices, but overall the reviews portray Parapluie as a standout in Montreal and a place likely to be returned to, preferably at the bar to enjoy the kitchen in action.View restaurant profile
