Basilic comes across as a tiny, intimate spot where the food is consistently delicious and portions are generous for the price, with the owner handling everything from greeting to cooking and serving to deliver warm, attentive service. Fresh ingredients shine in dishes like pollo alla crema, the salmon pasta, confit de canard, a lamb shank that dissolves in the mouth, and a superb chicken supreme, with tiramisu topping off the experience. Described as a hidden gem, the place feels modest on the outside but delivers standout quality that often outshines pricier Italian spots, and salads arrive beautifully presented with cheerful service. A small terrace adds charm, and while a touch of background music could enhance the ambiance, overall the reviews indicate a strong desire to return to try new dishes and continue enjoying the consistent excellence.

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!
