The food is top notch & the service impeccable. I came to Montreal for some French food & this place delivers. The escargot & onion soup is a must!! Moules Frites was out of this world. Don't forget to try the ice cider!! Olivier was an amazing bartender & extremely knowledgeable!!!

Only enjoyed Happy Hour. (3 times lol) Best service we had in Montreal, & we had great service a lot. Had 3 separate bartenders & all were so happy, cheerful, & friendly. From what I can tell, they have Brunch & Happy Hour daily.
Very beautiful atmosphere...chic & comfy, warm & inviting.

We stumbled upon this place & are so happy we did. Andrew was tremendous. Great service, great food. Would highly recommend. It was just him & the bartender in a packed place, & it was still great service. Loved the whole experience.
