Le souper a été exceptionnel à l'exception du plat Sur la ligne qui manquait de goût/sel/saveur malgré la qualité évidente de la truite.
J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir pour découvrir le prochain menu saisonnier.
Il est certain que le prix n'est pas accessible à tous, mais il est à la hauteur de la qualité des produits agro-alimentaires utilisés.

Nous avons profiter de la soirée de la St Valentin pour souper dans ce restaurant très sympathique. Le service est parfait très attentionné & les plats était très bons. Le restaurant reste malheureusement un peu bruyant & les prix sont élevés.

L'oeuf mollet est une des meilleures chose que j'ai mangé dans ma vie ! Littéralement !
Ensuite la truite était excellentem, d'une texture moelleuse & douce sans pareille.
Tous les assaisonemments sont justes.
Seul bémol : les desserts. Il n'y en a que 4 à la carte & aucun d'entre eux ne m'interessaient.

So this is a place my girl friend want to try & we booked weeks in advance.
I had some business in the area so I arrived early around 6 ish & our reservation was at 7pm. I decide to grab a drink & wind down a bit & the hostess was happy to escort me to the bar.
Although the place was half empty, it took more than 15 minutes & after two more group that were sit down, I was being greeted for the first time.
Somewhat tired & a bit frustrated at this time, I order a mix drink ( whisky sour ) will awaits for my girl friend. The server did not mention any suggestion for food or bar snack to me, although he mentioned the daily Sepcial to the other groups.
During this time I witness something unusual & somewhat disturbing: the waiter was topping up a wine bottle with another older bottle of wine & put it in one of the serving station. I have to say in all my years dinning out I have never saw it been done( in the open at least) this way.
Due to that knowledge, when I notice my drink has a somewhat unpleasant odor I point it out to the bar keep right away. He took a whiff of it & proceed to making a new one, no explanation, no apologie offered. The second drink was ok at first , but after a while the same odor begin to creep back. It was at that moment I kind realized that: perhaps they were using egg white to frost the drink, which could explain the odor. But since no explanation given before or after I send back the drink, there was no way to know.
I must say the star I given for service is for the hostess & her alone. Two times I waved at her she come to my service right away: first time was I enquiring the parking situation for my girl friend's arrive, & the second time was asking her to set out table, window side if possible, & to transfer my bar tab to my main bill. All my questions were answered & all my requests were accommodated.
The runner that night was a different story all together: not only I watched him drop food in front of the guests, when he went to present the food to the table next to me, his butt was inch away from my face. Although the table was set tight in this place, a good server would never let something like this happen.
Food was ok, a lot of local ingredients were show cased, well priced & we're coming out of the kitchen in a timely fashion. Same goes to the wine selection, after the fiasco at the bar I decide to order a bottle instead glasses, a local whit wine that was well priced.
But the service was continuesly a miss. Our waiter was in badly need of some breath mint & he was somewhat rushed, first time a server was taking away our oyster plate even we still have a few that we haven't eat. My girl friend requested some bread for our appetizer spread, & again for our post main cheese plator. Both time they came shortly, nicely present but stone cold.
In all, it was somewhat below average experience & I think the place need a proper train program for the staffs.

Le service a été très humain/personnel & professionnel & que dire de la cuisine boréal qui explose en saveurs inédites pour une expérience unique. C'est dispendieux mais vaux bien la dépense, faut bien se gâter parfois dans la vie.

We had 3 very different experiences over the past year, however it does get better every time we go... our first time in winter'24 which was very disappointing: food (tartare) & wine selection were both bellow average. In summer'24, the food was excellent, great wine list, courteous staff, & finally most recently in winter'25, we were quite pleased. The food was surprisingly excellent, the ambiance very enjoyable (relaxed, dimmed lights, music, ..), the wine/cocktail list was elaborate, the service very friendly & efficient to ensure we made our show at the Place des Arts on time.
This restaurant is perfectly located for a meal before/after a show at the Place des Arts or festival event. There is also a beautiful view from the terrasse in the summer.

We reserved an igloo for lunch & had the absolute best experience. The three course meal, the service was helpful & fun without being intrusive, & the ambience in the igloo/ refuges surpassed our expectations. This was one of my most memorable dining experiences.

Superbe. Expérience en famille vraiment chouette. J ai adoré l athmosphere tamisée, la vaisselle, la nourriture & l ambiance en général. Petit coup de coeur. La seule piste d amélioration, le serveur un petit peu trop effacé & peu loquace. Mais BRAVO

We went for lunch. The menu is limited, but the food was excellent. Price for the lunch menu is very reasonable - $40 - $45 for 3 courses.

Très belle soirée en famille, avec des plats savoureux, un service plus que sympathique, & une ambiance chaleureuse ! Lorsque nous reviendrons à Montréal, nous n'hésiterons pas à réserver une table dans les bulles, que nous avons pu rapidement visiter après le repas, & qui offrent un cadre & une vue privilégiés.
