Basilic earns praise as a tiny, unpretentious spot serving delicious food, warm, attentive service and generous portions that offer good value, often described as a hidden gem. The owner handles many tasks personally, from greeting guests to cooking and serving, creating a caring and efficient atmosphere. Dishes highlighted across reviews include pasta with salmon, duck confit, a tender lamb shank and a superb chicken supreme, with tiramisu noted as a standout dessert; while the exterior is modest and some guests wished for some background music, the overall experience makes returning likely.

Very small restaurant, with delicious food & great service! The owner was doing everything alone, welcoming people, taking orders, cook,serve...
I could literally see him prepare the pollo alla crema with fresh ingredients!
Really recommend this place.
Les locaux sont petits & le restaurant assez discret, mais c'est un vrai « hidden gem »le propriétaire est très attentif & super accueillant. Les portions sont généreuses & plus qualitatifs que d'autres restaurants italiens qui coûtent plus cher. Vous ne serez pas déçus !
Little hidden gem despite the modest exterior! The owner is caring & handles everything. The food was delicious & portions were generous for the price! The tiramisu was amazing.
Only recommendation would be to have some music in the background for an even better ambiance :)
Un jarret d'agneau qui fond dans la bouche & un suprême de poulet des plus délicieux, le tout, dans leur sauce exquise. & que dire du tiramisu. Un trésor caché qui vaut la peine de découvrir. Nous y reviendrons c'est certain.
Découvert par hasard, l'extérieur ne payait pas de mine. Une petite terrasse avec deux tables mais un service de qualité! Nous avons commandé deux salades qui étaient excellentes & très joliment présentées. Un délice pour les yeux & pour les papilles servi avec avec le sourire.

Didn't know you could get this kind of food in Côte des Neiges at such a good price. Had the Duck Confit & it was very good. The service is very good too.
Wonderful service, delicious food, & a very cosy & homey ambience! We tried the salmon, green salad, tiramisu, & espresso. The chef puts his heart into it. Everything was excellent! Highly recommended!
