Super tasty food, great service, & a fun atmosphere & staff. My wife & I visited from the US & were unsure what to order, but the staff gave us some great food & drink recommendations. Would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal.

Loved our experience at Nicole! We stopped by for casual drinks with friends & shared the octopus, tuna, & fries…everything was delicious. We sat at the bar, & the bartender was amazing. We seriously need someone like him in Toronto… although I don't think he'd want to leave! 😂 The music, atmosphere, & vibe were perfect. We'll definitely be back!

What a pleasant surprise!! We stumbled upon Nicole walking around town, & stayed for hours because the food, drinks, & service was so amazing. Olivier made our night exceptional, & we left with full bellies & sore abs from laughing so much with Olivier. Wholeheartedly recommend. -(quadruple from NJ)

Adam welcomed us in & served us our last drink of the night. We were a little late, but he handled that gracefully. Will pop in again for sure!

Had an outstanding experience thanks to Olivier behind the bar. His drinks were beautifully made - creative, well-balanced, & clearly the work of someone who takes real pride in his craft. Every cocktail felt thoughtful & unique, not just pulled from a standard menu. On top of that, his service was warm, attentive, & made the whole evening better. If you're stopping in, ask for Olivier - you won't be disappointed.

Stopped here along our walk in Old Montreal for a quick bite & some drinks. The service was excellent & Jordan made sure to accommodate us with all our needs. Food is excellent! Will be returning next time we are back in MTL.
