We had the beef tartare, the grilled octopus, the magret de canard as well as a home made pasta shrimp dish. Everything was delicious!!! The French wine pairings were on point! The service is excellent. All carried out by a young staff, including the overly talented chef who is on his early 30s. What a talent! Will definitely go back! Oh & you can have a conversation here without having to raise your voice.
Nous avions vu ce restaurant à l'émission Coup de food. Pour fêter nos 8 ans de vie commune, nous voulions absolument l'essayer pour la pieuvre qui semble être un classique de ce resto, ainsi que pour l'ambiance. D'abord, nous avons adoré la terasse, parfaite pour profiter du beau temps. Nous avons décidé de prendre 4 entrées à partager pour goûter à plusieurs plats: pieuvre, ceviche de pétoncle, tartare de boeuf & tataki de thon. Tout était délicieux, wow, particulièrement la pieuvre apprêtée à la mexicaine. Les saveurs dans chacun des plats étaient originales, recherchées & harmonieuses. & que dire du personnel: le propriétaire & ses acolytes nous ont accueillis comme si nous étions des amis à eux. Nous avons passé un magnifique moment à ce restaurant & le conseillons fortement à tous.
Très bon restaurant avec une carte qui change des habituelles poutines & burgers. On a pu faire un repas avec apéritif (ce sont de vrais barman capables de faire un orangina pour les enfants) entrée évoluée, des plats travaillés avec des options pour tous (tartare de saumon, grande salade, poissons, steak...).
Bref la gourmandise pousse à tout commander, mais au final ça vaut le coup.
Le service est au niveau, je conseille l'adresse.
My octopus was perfect. The beef tartare was pretty good. My friend's steak was overcooked.
Service was pleasant overall. I just didn't like that they didn't let me try the first glass of wine before pouring it. The other waitress did let me try the second glass.
Wish they had a bit of low music in the background.
Une 5 étoilé solide! Quel belle expérience ce soir! Après on a regardé Coup de Food avec Sébastien Benoit & son invité David Savard c'était un must aller essayer ce restaurant sur la rue Mont-Royal à Montréal! Dès qu'on est rentré dans le resto - quel bel accueil, notre serveur, Francis était le Best. En plus un des propriétaires était là & on a jaser avec. Au moment donné on a fait un chin chin & pris un shooter avec lui & le serveur du bar. C'est le temps de MTL à la Table. Le menu est vraiment bon & nos choix sublime. On a pris pieuvre grillée, tartare au thon rouge, morue, jarret au boeuf & nos desserts était pudding chômeur & tarte au citron! Incroyable!!! We will be going back, & can't wait!
We went for Mtl à Table & it was great! The food was amazing, the vibe was lively but not too loud, & the waiter was funny & attentive. The cod & the braised beef shanks were delicious, & so was the tuna tartare.
We first heard about Bungalow on Mount Royal thanks to the TV show Coup de Food. Clearly, we weren't the only ones - the place was packed! Even so, we were seated almost immediately at a nice table in the center of the restaurant, right in the heart of the action. The staff mentioned that the owners were pleasantly surprised by the surge in clientele following the show's broadcast.
The cuisine is described as inventive, & it truly is. While the summer terrace brings a few more'traditional' menu items (fried calamari, various tartares), we chose the more adventurous side of the menu & were very glad we did.
We started with the octopus appetizer, served over crispy smashed fingerling potatoes with a spiced butter & yuzu sour cream sauce - absolutely amazing. For mains, my wife enjoyed the duck magret, paired beautifully with braised Brussels sprouts, pepper sauce, & cauliflower purée, while I had the dorade royale (Mediterranean sea bream), served with a creamy mushroom & leek risotto in a white wine cream with basil. Both dishes were perfectly executed.
The wines were equally enjoyable: we began with a sparkling Cava, then moved on to a crisp Chablis 2022, Séguinot-Bordet for my wife & a robust Morgon La Chanaise 2023 for me. We ended on a high note, sharing a mousse au chocolat with hazelnut praline that was as indulgent as it was memorable.
The restaurant was lively (yes, a bit noisy), but the food, service, & atmosphere more than made up for it. Overall, an amazing dining experience - inventive cuisine, warm service, & a buzzing ambiance
Très bon! j'ai pris un tataki de thon, mon fils a pris un tartare de saumon, les deux plats étaient délicieux (avec inclus frites à la mayonnaise de truffes excellent) Je vous le recommande
The octopus was amazing, the steak & frites were good too, but the steak tartare wasn't great, very disappointed, lack of flavor, too much sauce which gave a baby food texture. Service was ok, looks like food was taking a long time, as the servers were apologizing at every tables for the wait. Overall good restaurant on a nice street.
