The staff deserves more. It is ridiculously overpriced. Ordered two plates; which were okay. Typical pretentious Montreal restaurant.
The staff & service was absolutely wonderful, & for that; it's worth checking ou, if you're on a date or something like that. I do recommend the Falafel as an entrée, & for a man I had the sea snails which were quite tasty. It's okay.

We didn't have the restaurant experience we hoped for. For good & fresh fish we prefer Ferreira Café downtown Montreal.

Bar St-Denis had a very cool ambience that is unique & unlike any other restaurant. Overall the food was great & the service was excellent. All our dishes tasted good but some worth commenting on:

The halibut was by far my favourite dish, cooked to perfection. The velouté was phenomenal & complemented the halibut brilliantly. Even the zucchini was soft & perfectly cooked. Overall a very excellent dish!

The duck was a close second. Although the meat was a bit tough, the skin of the duck had a nice crispiness to it even with all the sauce. The boletes & foie gras were also great to accompany the duck & both were delicious.

The aged pork was the dish that was a bit disappointing. There were some pieces on the edge of the cut that were just too salty. I found that some parts of the pork were also undercooked with some blood running from the meat. The vegetables that came with the dish also seemed very random, almost as if they were leftover vegetables that needed to be used up.

Otherwise, all appetizers were very delicious & the drinks were unique too!

Food was good, drinks were great, & the tasting menu is very well priced. Left completely full. Creative flavours with clever twists on familiar dishes, & the tuna tartare was the best I've ever had - not'best this year,' best full stop.

Decor is beautiful. Only catch: concrete floors mean the sound bounces everywhere, so expect to raise your decibels. By dessert my table was basically performing theatre for each other. Bring your outside voice & enjoy.

Any dish that has me exclaiming,'how are these carrots?!' has to be pretty impressive.

This place came as a recommendation from a tour we'd been on, as one of his top three in MTL. It was worth trusting him, & was a highlight of the trip. We shared three plates, & each one was more impressive than the last. Most surprising was how well my Filthy Animal martini paired with the first two. Pairing wine with food is one thing, but a paired cocktail is a special feat.

The waitstaff were lovely humans who truly loved the food they were serving. This was a great find.

Pétoncles sous vide, groseilles : simple, efficace.
Truite fumée, crème fraîche, pousses de pois, betterave, huile d'olive, crumble pain : textures au top. Vinho verde parfait avec.
Thon albacore (bluefin), mayo citron, haricots romano : acidité pile dosée. Bien avec le chardo boisé/framboise.
Merguez labneh, haricots, fleurs de thym frites, sauce avec jus de cuisson, huile extra extra vierge : coup de coeur, 11/10 selon mon copain. Rosé sérieux en accord, Love Letters.
Magret canard, foie gras, chanterelles, groseilles : délicieux mais un peu moins surprenant, ça rappelle le Pied de Cochon. Recommandé quand même.
Belle table, à refaire.
Merci à Tommy pour le généreux service.

Quelle belle découverte, en réflexion mais probablement une entrée dans mon top 5. Tout était délicieux, les cocktails, la nourriture, le service. Gros coup de coeur pour le canard, le thon, le porc vieillit. Les sauce, les accompagnements, les cuissons à la perfection. Des portions généreuses, beaucoup de diversité dans les goûts. J'y retourne c'est certain!
