Amazing food & great neighbourhood spot, but expect to be treated like the host is doing you a favour having you wait in line outside the establishment… ordered many of the appetizers & a pizza & pasta dish - all were delicious & I will certainly be going back for the food. Good wine selection as well. They don't take reservations & both times I went the two different hosts were extremely dismissive; they do not greet you as you enter, do not make any effort to have you feel welcomed, you need to try a few times to get their attention to be added to a wait list, & they refuse to provide any indication on wait times. At least they allow you to order a drink while you wait, if you can manage to get their attention.
Dommage que les plats soient si bons, mais le service si médiocre. Super lent & inconsistant, tellement qu'on a payé notre facture avant la fin du repas comme les drinks n'arrivaient juste pas… Il me restait la moitié de ma bouffe & je suis parti à la salle de bain un moment pour ensuite revenir à une table vide… ordinaire.
3rd time there, always poor service. It has potential, good pizza, great terrasse, & interior. But wait for drinks & getting bill is too long. & I don't blame the servers. 2 of them for the entire packed terrasse. Time to hire more staff in order to actually make this an enjoyable dining experience.
We got seated pretty quickly before the dinner rush. The waiters were pleasant. However, during the sudden dinner rush, it took us about an hour to get our 2nd course.
Appetizer highlight: beef tartare - melts in your mouth! Appetizer lowlight: patatas bravas - the potato isn't crunchy & there's not enough sauce to make up for how bland it tastes. My partner who's lived in Barcelona was disappointed by this dish.
The sausage pizza was amazing, the dough is so comforting & this was a good place to have a marguerita for a palette cleanser.
As for drinks, the Caesar tasted like a meal & I recommend getting a house drink!
Unpleasant experience. The pizza & drinks were good, but the service & allergy handling were disappointing. I informed the waitress about my nut & peanut allergy before ordering, yet the tuna crudo I was served came with a sauce that contained peanuts. I had to double-check with another waitress, who then confirmed that the sauce did contain peanuts. For a serious allergy, this lack of attention is unacceptable & made the experience feel subpar.
My favorite lunch spot while visiting Montreal! Feels very cozy & homey. The music is always pleasant & the design of the space pairs perfectly with the food & drink. All the staff were so kind & welcoming, & the food was delicious. I had a pepperoni pizza, the Madeleine dessert (heavenly), & an iced cortado. Will hopefully be back!
