Overall, this is a very good restaurant, however something must have gone awry in the kitchen on my visit. I had a business lunch & it was noted that the service was outstanding & the atmosphere great. No complaints at all. Further to that, the beef tartare I ordered was exquisite.

Now, I ordered the trout as the main course. The presentation looked a little sad. However what struck me the most is the utterly bitter flavour of the fish. It was really strong & really unpleasant to eat. It wasn't lemon, it wasn't pepper - it was just bitter for whatever reason. Under normal circumstances I would have sent it back. Due to the company I was with - I just finished eating it without a fuss.

I do hope that the chef takes note of this issue & the trout gets investigated. A small note: perhaps the butter could be served just a tad softer. 3.7 stars for this visit.

Amazing food, portion généreuse. Vraiment une soirée plus qu'agreable.

On the 3rd floor.
Very pretty, cozy place.
Food was great.
Service was a tiny bit slow, but that was fine as it gave us the time to enjoy our evening a bit more.

Too much of the same flavours & a lot of uninspiring brown colours. Had the'Saint-Constant' as an entree, it was ok but a lot of the same flavour even shared between two people. We didn't finish it. It needed another flavour for some contrast & maybe a textural element. It also needed some green herbs as a visual element to break up the brown on brown. As a main I made the unfortunate choice of having the'Capitale Nationale' which was even more brown on brown. Same comments as the entree. At a lower price point this would maybe have been forgivable, but the food was expensive & needs some refinement to be worth the prices they are charging.

Service was average. We were disappointed that the cheese poutine did not make squish-squish; however the server was convinced that the cheese was as fresh as the day. We threw off the server when we asked for a bottle recommendation, perhaps he is used to people ordering by the glass. I ended up asking for the Gamay. Food was OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Fairly priced. A lot of emphasis on vegetarian ingredients. Not bad per se but a'touche' was missing in all the plates. The tartare de cerf was the best of the night. A place for 5 à 7 drinks, people who go to see shows at the Place-des-Arts, & business folk. Periodt.

Je m'attendais à plus d'ambiance pour un samedi soir avec DJ. C'était plus ambiance réception d'hôtel....
Le service etait okay sans plus. C'était assez tranquille & la serveuse n'est jamais revenu remplir nos verres d'eau & a fait quelques oublies.
Les plats étaient bons. Quoi que je m'attendais à quelque chose avec une petite note de plus.

The server was kind & endearing. The menu descriptions were not accurate & need to be more clear. Tuna tartare was excellent. Poutine: one of the poorest examples of poutine I've had (gravy tasted like knorr bouillon & was cold, thick & clumpy). Scallops with risotto was mediocre as the chorizo dominated the dish.

Nous aimions beaucoup ce restaurant pour un repas avant un spectacle à la place des arts. Hier, la nourriture était décevante & trop dispendieuse pour la qualité
Nous n'y retournerons plus
