Un classique la meilleure brasserie française a Montreal

Possible mauvaise organisation en cuisine car beaucoup d'attente pour les plats & impossible de prendre de dessert par manque de temps.
Carte non à jour vis à vis des prix donc surprises à l'arrivée de la facture car les prix vus sur la carte ne correspondaient pas à ce qui a été compté.

As a first timer to this restaurant, I was immediately impressed when we were warmly greeted at the door by a perfectly bilingual individual. Our table was being prepared when we arrived & were seated when ready.
We ordered drinks first. I had an Espresso Martini & my husband had IPA ber on tap. Beer is not difficult to serve but a martini should be in a martini glass. Thus was not. Since I am not a big drinker, it was enough, but wow was it small. There was definitely seemed like less than 2oz of liquor. Won't do that again.
We then ordered our mains: a burger for the husband & I had the steak & fries.
Service was pretty quick, considering how busy it was on a Wednesday.
The steak arrived first. It was served with mayo for the fries & a pepper corn sauce for the steak. The steak was delicious. Perfection. Perfectly cooked to med/rare. The only issue I had, was that the fries were greasy & not hot.
According to my husband, the burger was the best one he has ever eaten. His fries were also only luke warm.
For dessert we shared the warm chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream. Wow..how rich.
Service was amazing. When our waiters shift was over, in the middle of our service, he came over, let us know & assured us that we would be well taken care of. Antoine, thank you for everything. You're the best.
Would we go back? For sure.

Calmar frits dans une huile douteuse.

L'ambiance est toujours super. C'est une magnifique brasserie comme il y en a peu à Montréal. La bouffe est habituellement correcte, sans plus. Hier, la pieuvre croustillante n'était nullement croustillante & absolument pas saisie sur le grill, comme l'avait indiqué le serveur. Elle était coriace, à la limite du mangeable. Notre table était au bout d'une allée, alors à deux reprises les serveurs m'ont accroché la tête (!) avec leurs assiettes.

Le doré était un des meilleur que j'ai aimé. J'apprécie l'atmosphère décontractée ce qui n'empêche pas la classe!

J'ai pris les moules marinières, escargots à l'ail & profiteroles comme dessert. Bon service courtois malgré que le restaurant était plein. Souper parfait avec des membres de la famille.
