Anemone est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire incontournable à Montréal, apprécié pour la finesse et la créativité de ses plats ainsi que pour la qualité de son service. Les convives soulignent fréquemment la fraîcheur des ingrédients et l'harmonie des saveurs, notamment pour les pétoncles, le canard et les fruits de mer. Si l'ambiance est généralement qualifiée de chic, chaleureuse et invitante avec une terrasse fort agréable, certains clients notent toutefois un manque de confort selon l'emplacement des tables. La critique la plus récurrente concerne la taille des portions, jugées parfois trop petites par rapport au prix demandé, bien que de nombreux habitués considèrent l'expérience comme haut de gamme et justifiée. Malgré quelques commentaires sur le niveau sonore ou la cadence du service, l'établissement demeure une adresse fortement recommandée pour quiconque recherche une cuisine inspirée et une expérience gastronomique marquante.
We had a ton of dishes at Anemone MTL & everything was excellent, but a few really stood out. The carpaccio was delicate & perfectly seasoned, the mushroom hand rolls were earthy & flavorful, & the short rib was rich & tender. The duck was cooked beautifully with great depth of flavor, & the blueberry sage dessert was such a unique & delicious finish. We were super late because of traffic & unforeseen circumstances, but the staff kindly held our table, & it was so worth it once we sat down. The servers were attentive & welcoming, & the atmosphere struck the right balance between polished & relaxed. Overall, it's the kind of place I'd happily come back to & one I'd recommend if you're in Montreal looking for refined, creative dishes.
We had the omakase menu. The service was great - friendly, accommodating, & mostly attentive. The decor of the restaurant was lovely - a mix of organic modern & industrial design that felt cool & comfortable. The acoustics, however, were terrible. In the dining area, it was quite loud, to the point of being overwhelming & hard to hear each other. The food was nicely presented & the ingredients seemed to be good quality. Even though nearly every dish on the menu had meat, they were open to adapting them to vegetarian or pescatarian. That said, every dish was overly salted, cooked, & had a lot of butter. There was the occasional light spicy & sour flavours, but nothing fresh or crispy. These tastes, one after the other in every dish, left us thirty, bloated, & with an unpleasant mouth feel. I'm glad I wasn't there on a date! With a bit some proper insulation for sound, WAY less salt & butter, & an addition of some lighter, crispy & fresh flavours/ingredients/dishes, this place could be fabulous.

I could forgive the irritating industrial hipster ambiance. But the food was unsalvageable. Which is a pity because if someone would just throw out the salt shaker, there might actually be some flavour under there. Also: it's the 21st century already. Lose the endless butter & cream! An important warning: the noise level is absolutely intolerable. We measured 90 decibels, which is hazardous to your health. Last point: the service was très ordinaire. We ordered the tasting menu, but there was no sense of pacing of the dishes, we waited for empty plates to be cleared & our glasses of water refilled. Wait! One more ridiculousness: no espresso or cappuccino. Did I really give this place two whole stars?
Very good restaurant, nice variety of dishes with surprising associations. Good selection of wines with the help of the waitress. Nice atmosphere with a beautiful terrace & an open kitchen
Love the creativity & the vibe of this place. The food was refined, with every dish carefully thought out. If i could i would give 4.5 stars for the food, but alas i have to give 4 stars because some dishes kind of missed the mark, & at such a high price it can't go unnoticed. Some dishes were INCREDIBLE & others really good but nothing crazy. Every dish was unique, but i would've loved to see even more eclectic combinations & tastes. Nevertheless, a great meal if you want to celebrate with loved ones. We loved loved loved the razor clams & the ris de veau. Could've skipped the temaki honestly. We also liked being able to see the chefs cooking (they also had a little barbecue to cook the asparagus which was fun).
Beautifully designed space with fun & delicious dishes. The staff is very friendly & helpful, & gave us great wine recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious & was creative without being pompous.
