The vibe is cozy yet refined, making it popular for dates, casual dinners, or gatherings, with the courtyard and a downstairs speakeasy adding to the appeal. Occasional notes mention long waits during peak times, and a few dishes are described as lacking depth or being overpriced, along with practical hints like parking considerations.

Had a lovely time at this restaurant. The terrace has a perfect vibe for a night out with friends. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with great music playing in the background that added to the experience without being too loud. The food was delicious, & the staff were friendly & attentive. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially for a summer night out!
As a local Montrealer we are so spoiled to have this new spot open in the city ! Everything is great from the service to the food to the music ! A true Old port experience !

This restaurant is a hidden old port gem. From the ambience & music, to the exceptional Italian inspired brunch I was wow'ed away. They make a killer Hugo spritz which I enjoyed on their shaded terrace. Service is fast. If you are passing the old port, definitely the place to pop into for an aperitif or delicious brunch!
Food was delicious, terrace area was beautiful, service was EXCESSIVELY slow & disorganized.. We were 6, we all got our food at 20-25 minute intervals & my kids (under 10) were served last & literally 45minutes after the first plate was served on our table. Sure they apologized, it happens, but we even had to wait 20 minutes to get our bill which seems reasonable except when theres only 3 tables in the restaurant! Service MUST be better because the food & place is excellent 👌
I recently visited Benedetta & was completely blown away by the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious & the cocktails-WOW! I'll definitely be back soon.

Don't go for the food! The location with the garden is beautiful but the food is overpriced. The caprese panini is only with mozarella, no basil & no tomato. So tasteless & that for 19 CAD
The pizza is no pizza, it's a ciabatta with salami or mortadella. Disappointing.
So for drinks I would return becasuse of the great ambiance but not for the food.
We stopped in here spontaneously for lunch. Really nice place with indoor seating & a courtyard. We got margherita & pepperoni pizza & enjoyed that. Classy place.
Stopped in for a quick bite with two friends this past Saturday. The place itself is beautiful, the service was excellent, & the food was beyond tasty. We split an order of kettle chips & dip, an arancini (the spinach one), & the Caprese fold over pizza. Everything was delicious. Tomato sauce was so tasty, the mozzarella was fresh & the dip that came with the kettle chips was amazingly fresh as well.
Sat outside in the little courtyard area which gives full old Montreal vibes with the beautiful stone. The owner (I think it was the owner) was so friendly & made sure that we had everything we needed the entire time.
I definitely will add this to my'must visit' list for the next time I'm in Montreal.
