Great professional service & pleasant dining atmosphere. We dined here during a spring week visit to Montreal & loved the Foie Gras, bouillabaisse, escargot & confit de canard.

Best wine selection 👌

We ordered the salad, duck & fish. The salad was what you expected from a salad, nothing special or noteworthy. The duck was an assault on my taste buds & we still have no idea what we put into our mouth. The fish out of everything, was the best meal we ordered that night with crispy skin & moist flavors. Service was amazing & our waitress let us sample a few wines before we settled on red. For the price I would not come back.

Stopped for lunch & the brasserie francaise looks really slick.
They had really affordable lunch menus with great options.
The calamari entrees was unfortunately fad & not'A la hauteur'. The burger was good but again not fitting the beautiful decor & service.
The glass of red wine was well suggested & excellent.

What a perfect first night in Montreal for our anniversary. Isabelle provided the most excellent service! She created just the right atmosphere for an enjoyable evening on the terrace. The food was wonderful (scallop carpaccio, duck confit, desserts!), as was the wine.

You cannot ask for a better location if you are visiting the Notre-Dame Basilica (just across the street). The restaurant is beautiful & our waitress Isabel was very friendly & helpful (her white wine recommendation was excellent!). My mom enjoyed her chicken & my duck was good as well. In terms of flavor, size & price, I think it is fair. I think this restaurant a'solid good' if you are around & want straightforward food options.

This place was beautiful. The atmosphere is elegant & welcoming. The noise level is great for conversation. We really appreciated that it wasn't loud. They made my great uncles celebration very special. Service was excellent, she was attentive by topping up our wine when needed, a dish came out a bit cold they recooked the whole plate quickly enough, she also brought out a surprise dessert with sparkler. Food was excellent! The food was seasoned perfectly & everyone in our party was happy with taste & presentation. We tried the duck, octopus, Arctic char & lamb, plus a few desserts. Pavlova is incredible. Thank you again for a special evening.

The reception was welcoming & our waiter was excellent & super friendly, really fun to talk to, & helpful with ordering, he was the highlight of the night. The wine was also very good.

Dinner overall was good. The steak was enjoyable, though not outstanding. The biggest disappointment was the salads ordered. Despite some effort in presentation, the ingredients
/mix felt basic & lacked flavor. They were easily the weakest part of the meal, also some item was sold out, having special menu & not having enough. You know

One staff member who refilled our water & cleared plates seemed visibly irritated & handled dishes quite roughly. It didn't ruin the evening, but the display was noticeable.

Overall, the service from our waiter was great, dinner & wine were good, but the salads need improvement. I expected a bit more from the experience, though I still appreciate the effort

What an amazing place! Elegant, relaxing, & perfect for brunch or lunch. The brunch selection is fantastic, with so many great options to choose from. The staff are outstanding, especially Melissa she truly made our visit unforgettable! She walked us through the menu with so much detail & helped us pick the perfect wine. Our whole group had an incredible time, & we can't wait to come back again!

We tried this restaurant during the MTLaTable event, & honestly it was a disappointment among all the restaurants we tried during the event period. The food selection was mid, & the taste was mediocre at best. Everything tasted salty & the food served wasn't warm. Service was decent with a good selection of wine, but the food at dinner service was a major let down.
