I have been going to this restaurant for about 6 years & I always take the Mussels with leek. This weekend was the first time I was disappointed. The sauce is not at all what it used to be. It was lacking taste & very watery. The service was terrible as well but they apologized & offered us free beers. Too bad because I used to love their Mussels.

If you only have 8 things on the menu it is inexcusable to'run out' of your highest rated, signature dish.
I came to try the veal ravioli only to find out they had run out.
I was very disappointed to say the least. The menu is too restricted & narrow to drop your interesting items off, & I ended up with an incongruent cheeseburger.
The waiter was apologetic - the manager comped us drinks at the end which was appropriate & appreciated.
Our food came unusually quickly & our drink order came after our food.
We felt rushed.
The cheese burger was very good, I particularly liked the 2 patties with bacon & cheese on each layer. The bun was fresh. French Fries were not hot.
My wife had steak frite which was very average. The mashed potatoes were excellent ( but also not hot ).
desserts were 5 stars - the pavlova was a hit.
Note that in summer the restaurant is uncomfortably hot, try to get a seat under a fan or consider sitting on the terrace.
The place has a great vibe & is really trendy. The service was top notch.

Nothing but good things to say about this place .
We were welcomed by Fred who welcomed & led us to our table . Loved everything about this spot. The food was delicious, & the service was wonderful. Our waitress Catherine was super nice, helped us navigate the menu, & checked on us often to ensure everything was perfect. It's rare to find such attentive & friendly service these days.
Highly recommend if you're in the Outremont area .

Large brasserie with large terrace in a pleasant area. Very French ambiance. Ordered burratas, then steak frites, duck confit, & steak tartare plus wines by the glass. All good quality & service very professional. Ticked the boxes…on a summer's evening.

Sur leur jolie terrasse, nous avons eu droit à un service impeccable & hyper attentionné ! Nous étions quatre & tous les plats commandés étaient dignes de mention. Les raviolis au veau valent grandement le détour, tout comme le steak parfaitement cuit selon notre demande. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié, nous y retournerons assurément!
