The service was excellent. I was really happy with the service. The filet mignon was perfectly made. The rice & potato were good enough to pair with the fantastic steak. The vibe, music, coziness of the restaurant was really nice. The washrooms were also nice & clean.
Un des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal. Le service est excellent & leurs plats sont impeccables. Nous vous recommandons la côtelette d'agneau, le poisson & le calmar frit. Nous reviendrons pour goûter les autres plats. Merci beaucoup, chef ! Ils offrent également un service de valet sur réservation.

Enfin on retrouve un resto de cuisine familiale sur le Plateau! Les portions sont généreuses & c'est très bon. Poisson du marché, riz, légumes, comme à la maison!

4 of us went to Anecdote last night for dinner. The service was outstanding & the food was better than that.
I own a restaurant & this is a place worth visiting.
Wow, for a little unassuming neighborhood restaurant, the quality of the food was incredible. The seafood platter had perfectly cooked, tender octopus, as well as the calamari. The fish was perfectly grilled & the sides were quite tasty. The service was warm, friendly, & efficient. We'll be going back for sure to check out the meat dishes.
I was little apprehensive to take my date here as it's fairly new but it ended up being a solid choice! Very tasty food, nicely decorated interior, very friendly service. I will definitely return. Much better than similar places like Aquinta
The restaurant has imitation Greek food, but definitely not Greek.
The ones who liked the food are not Greeks &/or they don't know what Greek food is all about.
It is cooked by someone who learned from probably a non Greek as well, & is trying hard to…make it!
Good luck
Le service a été très bon du début à la fin du repas ce qui n'est pas toujours fréquent dans les restaurants sur le plateau.
Nous avons aussi apprécié le fait de recevoir des bols de hummus avec du pain en apéritif le temps de revoir nos plats.
La moussaka végétarienne était très bien réussie comme tous les plats de grillades que nous avons goûté.
C'est un restaurant qui mérite d'être découvert.
