Smile Chez Clara seems to have impressed first-time lunch visitors with a tasty chorizo sandwich and salad, and the server was described as adorable. Diners say they would return to try other dishes. The kitchen is not bad, but value for money is disappointing given the prices have risen. Price increases have further highlighted this issue. Some reviewers also note an unfriendly attitude from the staff during both ordering and receiving. Overall, the meal itself is not seen as bad, but the higher prices and the service tone dampen the desire to return.View restaurant profile
Reviews describe Milos as a refined, high-end Greek and seafood destination in Montreal, with an atmosphere of elegance and warm hospitality, where the menu showcases fresh seafood and Mediterranean flavors; the service is repeatedly praised as impeccable and attentive, and the fish dishes, octopus, calamari, Greek salad, and the Milos special with fried zucchini and eggplant tower are frequently highlighted as standout items, along with desserts like baklava ice cream; many diners consider it a Montreal institution and a great spot for celebrations or lunch, praising value on the lunch menu though acknowledging that dinner can be expensive and the space can be noisy; a number of reviews note occasional inconsistencies, such as overcooked or bland fish, underseasoned or underwhelming starters, or service hiccups, but these are not universal and the overall consensus remains that the quality, freshness, and presentation of the dishes are memorable; guests also commend the wine selections and cocktails, and the option of a private dining area for groups is appreciated, resulting in Milos being widely recommended for seafood lovers, with the caveat to expect premium pricing and a lively environment.View restaurant profile
Reviews of Chez Lévêque describe a warm intimate French dining room with a refined ambiance and consistently attentive service that many patrons find exemplary. The cuisine is frequently praised for classic French dishes, with standout options like escargots, foie gras, moules farcies, and well prepared fish and meat mains, accompanied by a deep wine list and dessert offerings that often delight. While several visits are described as excellent, some diners note inconsistencies such as dishes not meeting expectations, overly salty sauces, small portions for the price, or moments of variable attentiveness. The atmosphere is sometimes noted as crowded or softly noisy, which can detract from a quiet tete a tete, though others appreciate the lively hospitable energy. Price is generally viewed as high but justified by the quality and presentation, and many call it a Montreal institution for reliable French fare that makes for memorable celebrations, even if not every visit is flawless.View restaurant profile
