Such a let down from what it used to be. If you are looking for a good bistrot experience, this is an okay choice but forget about fine dining. The service & food are casual & not very special. So sad they chose to downgrade so much what used to be a fantastic spot. It would have probably be more fair to change name when the concept was completely changed in 2024. They are benefitting from the great reviews of the former restaurant which is a bit misleading.

My third time here, they changed location but the food & service is perfect as always. The duck is so amazing & completely beyond my expectations. Will definitely visit again if I travel to Montreal in the future.

Restaurant gastronomique du centre animé de Montréal, nous avons bien mangé. Cependant, le tarif était très onéreux, & à plusieurs reprises nous nous sommes dit qu'il manquait quelque chose. Ne mangeant que très peu salé, les ravioles aux petits pois m'ont quelque peu brulé la langue. De plus, l'accord mets & vins canadiens n'était vraiment pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. En bon français & dans mon avis personnel, je ne peux pas recommander cet accord. Le cidre en dessert... Je passerais la prochaine fois. Enfin, la serveuse regardant avec insistance le TPE pour voir le pourboire qui allait être laissé, ce n'était pas très agréable. C'était une expérience sympathique, mais pour 330€ à deux, cela fait extrêmement cher & nous sommes repartis un peu déçus.

Had high expectations given the fantastic reviews, but I was shocked at how bad the food was here. This was undoubtedly my worst meal in all of Montreal during my trip here & the most expensive. Service was cold & sterile. Server was not very detailed when going through the menu. When I prodded about the origin/source of some of the ingredients, our server did not seem to be interested in having that conversation, which was disappointing for a restaurant at this price point. Tried the 5-course tasting menu for dinner. Was disappointed to learn that the 8-course menu was not available for the early seating (I do not believe this was made apparent or obvious during the booking process, but it could have been my oversight), but it ended up working in our favour because each course was subpar. I ordered the non-alcoholic pairing. I am a huge fan of non-alcoholic pairings at fine-dining restaurants across the world & will usually order it when available. They are stunning when executed correctly, but this was mostly a disappointment. Kombucha was alright, but I was severely let down by the dashi drink (which was indistinguishable from instant dashi), as well as the drink paired with the squash dessert. I do have to give credit to the fact that their concoctions were made in-house, as some restaurants just serve off-the-shelf non-alcoholic drinks. Kudos to the sommelier/server serving the drinks, as they did an excellent job explaining the drinks. Onto the food - flavour combinations were uninspiring to say the least. Not going to go through the entire menu but here are some notes: Ravioli with mussels, green peas & mascarpone - basic & boring flavours, over seasoned with a sauce that was overly acidic. Duck with berries, pepper, almonds (supplemented with a slab of foie gras for an extra 20CAD) - The protein itself was cooked well. Garnishes were substandard, however. Saving grace was the foie, which was beautiful, & the among the best I've ever had. Zero balance to the dish however, & the addition of almonds was head-scratching. I did mention this to our server, but they merely chuckled & seemed again to be uninterested in hearing my opinion On the contrary, had a wonderful experience at their sister restaurant, Cadet. Perhaps I came here on an off night.

Même dans leur déménagement ils ont conservé la qualité de leurs plats. Le service de Jean François mérite seulement 3* par compte Minh Doan le sommelier est impeccable 5* pour ses recommandations
