This is my second time at Brama & my experience there was so wonderful that I just had to leave a second review. The food was just as delicious as I remembered, if not better! My friends that went for the first time raved about each & every dish that was ordered. I got pats on the back for a great recommendation! The service was excellent, always with a wonderful smile. The restaurant was bustling & the atmosphere was pleasant. Special thanks to Chef John for going above & beyond to ensure that our meal was perfect. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal & if I didn't live so far (South shore), I would probably go every week!

This is my second time going to Brama & they did not disappoint! The food is simply incredible & the service is impeccable!! Special thanks to Chef John for going above & beyond to ensure that our visit was perfect! My friends & I came from the south shore to dine here, & it was worth the trip! We would surely visit more often if we didn't live so far!
Belle ambiance, très bon service…& que c'était bon! La pizza, les pâtes, les desserts, tout était parfaitement délicieux! Merci pour la belle découverte de ce restaurant qui vaut le détour!
Nous étions 5 adultes & le repas comme le service était fabuleux, nous avons apprécié autant les entrées que le repas principal & que dire du dessert, juste wow
I've only ever had the cavatelli's from Brama through delivery before this dine-in experience & it was so good I couldn't even imagine how it would taste fresh at the table. They really did not disappoint.
I spent about $275 for two people but I also paid for all the appetizers for 4 people & a drink.
Cavolo Riccio salad (Beets, goat cheese & apple in a kale salad): it was delicious & creamy but a little bit too sweet for me since I wanted something more refreshing. I was mind blown though because this salad tasted exactly like a CREAMSICLE.
Arancini: the sauce was good, everything had great texture, it wasn't dry, very cheese & fluffy. My friends loved it.
Octopus: very delicious, slightly tangy & sweet. The texture was perfect & I like the little pieces of potatoes in there.
Lamb chops: WOW. It was the star of the show. Comes with 3 pieces but you can add another piece for $9. The sauce was refreshing- minty I think, the lamb itself was seasoned to perfection, it wasn't too gamey, so tender & juicy. I would be happy just eating that all night.
Linguini seafood pasta: pasta was cooked just right, seafood was tender & the sauce was very light, very light on the salt & easy to eat. Delicious!
Bolognese Spaghettoni: the texture of this pasta was phenomenal. I love the bite it has, the sauce was delicious but very salty. I love salty foods so it was perfect for me but might be hard for the average Joe to eat.
Fettuccini Rosée: I normally do not get a plain rosée pasta since it's easy to make & seem so simple but WOW I regret not getting that myself. It was so good, flavours were perfectly balanced & I love the pasta shape.
Gnocchi Pancetta: I wasn't too wowed by this but maybe because the gnocchi was so soft & pillowy I was very surprised! I think it was a texture thing for me but I'm sure making gnocchi that soft must take a lot of skills so I would recommend it if you like soft gnocchi/foods!
A découvrir sans fautes. Employées sympatique & attentionnées. Nourriture excellente : Pâtes fraiche, de belle portion, excellent gout. Mon dessert était un canolli excellent aussi. Chaque plat que la serveuse apportait au table voisine me donnais le gôut de les manger... j'y retourne bientôt.
We were a party of 4, 4 different nationalities; Brazilian, French from France, French from Québec & an Italian. Pièce de résistance was their food (calamari, gnocchi, ceasar salad, Margherita pizza & linguini), staff service & establishment. A win win restaurant for typical homemade Italian to soothe the soul. Keep up the amazing work!
Excellents service & qualité de nourriture. Ça mérite amplement ses 5 étoiles. Je dois avouer que c'est parmi les meilleurs restaurants italiens que j'ai essayé jusqu'à présent. Bon travail!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & les serveuses sont très gentilles & à l'écoute.
