Oh my, what an awesome place. I went here for a quick lunch some times ago, liked the place but didn't had much to say other than that. Yesterday I went for dinner. Got the 5 services table d'hôte. Each dish was even more delicious than the previous one. Quality/quantity/price was ultra balanced. Lovely & helpful staff, quick service, water glasses always filled. Will definitely go back, several times.

Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée. La nourriture est recherchée, goûteuse & les saveurs se marient très bien. Mention spéciale pour la Burrata & les gnocchi qui étaient divins. Quant au cheesecake, je le mets dans une catégorie à part, celle du seul dessert que je reprendrai volontier dans un restaurant ! Pour ce qui est du service & de l'ambiance, rien à dire tout était parfait & notre serveuse était sympathique & souriante.
Excellente nourriture & superbe endroit En terme de service a la clientèle, cetait plus décevant: nous avions prevenu que nous venions célébrer deux anniversaires & une fois arrivés sur place, notre serveur nous a confirmé avoir recu l'information. Dans un restaurant de cette qualite, il est decevant qu'aucun "petit dessert", café ou nimporte quelle autre petite intention n'ait été faite aupres des fêtés. Ca aurait été agréable & APPRÉCIÉ.
I got in two of the mocktails during the 4-6 so they were $10 each, the other two were $13 each. I also had the maitake steak with polenta & the white chocolate cheesecake for dessert. I loved the experience. The portion was decent even though the price was high. Its high quality so good value. My favourite mocktails were the pear-o-lada & le Xi you. The mushrooms were well cooked & seasoned but I wish they had put more fennel yogurt because it went well with it. The polenta was perfect. The cheesecake was incredible. My favourite cake ever? The waitress was so kind, sweet, patient & accommodating. The atmosphere is chill, clean & aesthetically pleasing. I want to try everything & I'm kind of stressed about it because the waitress says the menu will switch in 1 month ahh hah I wish they would wait for me 👉🏼👈🏼
This may be the best vegan food I have ever eaten (tied with Bloom). The artistry & creativity is unmatched. I have been vegan for 9 years, & searched for good vegan food in NY, the Bay Area, Philly, Vermont & many places in between, & I cannot find a match for the passion that Montreal holds for food. It's the main reason we keep coming back to Montreal (along with the spas & architecture). Our server was patient & knowledgeable. The decor was a welcoming warm minimalism that set a calm atmosphere. As soon as we saw the menu, I had high expectations. The drinks were next level creative & delicious. & the food was just perfection. The portions are very generous, so I recommend ordering a few entrees & sharing, if you're attending with a group. The server recommended the chicken & waffles, which was not at all on my short list. But I'm grateful they did, as I was thoroughly impressed with the myriad components. There was a such a balance to the flavors; something that is often overlooked in my daily routine of salads & bowls. The restaurant should be immensely proud of their work. The front of house staff create a welcoming environment while the kitchen creates amazing fare. Overall, an incredible meal that has me looking fiestas to my next visit.
