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.
I was Ratatouille'd with their grilled arctic char, & unlocked a memory of my mom. The service was accommodating, & the wine pairing set with their Valentine's Day menu was well curated.
Une première expérience chez anémone, sûrement pas la dernière. Le service est impeccable, l'endroit est fort jolie. Pour la bouffe, on vous amène dans une formule à partager qui réinvente bien souvent des plats ou des aliments connus. C'est un plaisir pour les yeux & aussi pour les papilles! Un gros coup de coeur pour les pétoncles qui fondait dans la bouche, pur délice!
Un endroit comme il se fait peu a Montréal. Vraiment une belle cuisine. Le staff en cuisine pourrait être un peu plus discret lorsqu'ils ferment la cuisine (très bruyant), mais autrement vraiment réussi.
What a great night out we had at Anemone!! Kevin & the staff there were awesome, & the food was amazing from beginning to the end. A really top notch spot & worth every penny! Thanks again for the chilli crisp, it really does go on everything (like my eggs for breakfast this morning!)
This is an amzaing restaurant with great food & competent wait staff. They explain in detail what you are eating. Nice decor with lots of space & available parking. Will definitely go back.
Loved the food. We went during the Montreal a table. They had a set menu. Great combination of tastes. The only bémol, the wine was on the expensive side
depending on where you'll sit, the atmosphere may be lacking. we unfortunately were at the end of the bar close to the door & it was very... neglected in terms of the feel of the space. the food was great, staff is friendly & attentive
Nous y sommes allés dans le contexte du Festival MTL à Table & quelle belle soirée nous y avons passé. Le service était digne d'un restaurant Michelin, la nourriture incroyable & nous avons particulièrement aimé l'ambiance chaleureuse du restaurant.
Juste wow! Allez-y! Vous ne serez pas déçus. Super goûteux! Mini-bémol: une carte des vins, quoique très abordable (merci!), pourrait être'une coche meilleure'.
