That was my second time in Montreal, & I came across this bar by accident. As I heard the music blasting from the street & saw several people going in & out of the restaurant, I thought it was worth giving it a try. The music is a bit too loud to talk over, but the selection is pretty good. The food is solid for typical bar snacks, & the cocktails are quite decent as well. We ordered the Lobster Dumplings & the Eggplant Dip (which was fantastic). The salmon tartare could use a touch more citrus to be truly delicious, but no real complaints.
Would I go back? Maybe. The space is beautifully decorated, & the crowd is friendly & welcoming.
Great place! Cocktails are always a hit! However I ordered some dumplings last time I went & did not find them very good. The fries are very delicious however. Fun place overall!
Toujours une agréable atmosphère où passer un petit 5@7! La musique peut devenir forte à certain moment, mais c'est tolérable. Nous avons pris plusieurs petits plats à partager, le poulet croustillant, edamame, frites & deux sortes de dumpling & tout était bien. Ils offrent également de faire leur carte de cocktail en version virgin, ce qui est bien. Par contre, je crois qu'il serait d'avantage intéressant d'en proposer peut-être moins, mais avec un gin sans alcool par exemple ou d'autres type de fort désalcoolisé. Très belle soirée somme tout.
Dumplings were delicious, & cocktail (viqctoria) was very good. Also the bartenders were excellent. They really made our night. The restaurant was a bit crowded but the service & food/drinks made up for it!
Super découverte, une ambiance excellente, bonne musique, bon cocktail & bon vin, les plats succulent, dumpling, frites & les ribs excellent, un personnel accueillant, souriant & très bon service, un très grand merci pour votre accueil, mention spéciale à la maître d'hôtel & la sommelière Gaby pour ses judicieux conseils, nous avons adoré
Lovely spot, good service. The daiquiri is fantastic & summery. It gets packed quickly, & a bit too loud music inside, but still a 5 star. great dumplings! edit: still ok but service slow. non alcoholic cocktails are actually very bad, it tasted like syrup with some water but mainly syrup. might be worth working on that bit of the menu
