Didn't come in with much expectation other than knowing Massimo had been on Top Chef, but we were blown away. Every course was incredible. The dishes were creative & like nothing we'd ever eaten. The flavors were so well balanced & interesting. The service was perfect. We feel lucky for having the opportunity to come here!
This restaurant sadly did not live up to the expectations. I really wanted to like this restaurant but it felt like they were trying to copy some playbook of providing a haute cuisine experience but without the substance behind it.
First, the portion sizes are just ridiculously small for the price you pay. Unfortunately the quality of cooking techniques & creativity in ingredients & dishes do not make up for that lack of quantity, as one might expect from similar fine dining restaurants that offer the tasting menu format.
I visited Montreal for a week trying highly rated restaurants each night, & this was both my most expensive & least satisfying meal.
I actually left so hungry after the menu was completed that I had to find a Portuguese chicken place to eat. I was still hungry enough to finish a 1/4 chicken plate.
The second issue, though much more minor, was that the service felt very artificial. Everyone was friendly, but it felt fake & like they didn't care to have any conversation beyond what they needed to say when presenting each dish.
I added a star only for the fact that the owner was actually out on the line prepping alongside his chefs, & he at least made attempts to speak to each guest at the chef's table at least once.
My husband & I went for our Wedding Anniversary celebration & were not disappointed. It was an amazing experience. They were so welcoming, like a family. The food was fantastic. We were seated at the counter it was well worth it. You were able to see all the activities of the restaurant & how well everyone worked together. It was one of the best experiences my Husband & I had. The food was exceptional & will never forget this experience & would definitely come back. The chefs were very attentive & made you feel like you were apart of their family. All the dishes were made with local products, homemade, including their Burrata cheese. All we can say is Wow! Thank you for everything.
Une soirée remarquable au Cabaret de l'enfer ✨ L'ambiance chaleureuse & raffinée, associée à un service irréprochable, nous a immédiatement séduit Les plats, faits maison & préparés avec des produits de saison, ont révélé une qualité & une finesse exceptionnelles Un grand bravo au chef & son second dont le talent & la créativité sont clairement mis en valeur dans chaque assiette Le personnel, à la fois professionnel & attentif, a contribué à faire de cette soirée un moment particulièrement agréable Une expérience que je recommande vivement & que je ne manquerai pas de renouvele
What an incredible meal & experience! We were 6 fully vegan diners, & the Chef & his team prepared an insane 7 course meal for us. It was PERFECT! We were blown away, service was professional, patient, super friendly & attentive! The wines which were all recommended by the wonderful Sommelier were all AMAZING! food, taste, creativity & presentation was just out of this world! 10/10!! We will be back!
An unique culinary experience. Hands down one of the best restaurants on Montreal. Chef's counter makes the whole journey far much better. The staff is incredible, in our case, Rosemary, Martin & Raesniel made our evening so special. It is a must!
Best meal in recent memory. Who says fine dining has to be stuffy? This place is downright fun, & not a smidgeon of professionalism is lost in the process. Pasta with squid, veal sweetbread terrine & toro crostada were favourites. I fully expect a star in their future. Merci chef!
Excellente découverte que ce restaurant gastronomique à Montréal où nous avons dîner en famille. Les préparations &/ou cuissons des mets (pâté en croûte revisité, boeuf aux baies de goji, lobster) étaient parfaites. Le mix des cuisines françaises italiennes & mexicaines est parfaitement maîtrisé sous la houlette de son chef Massimo. J'aime beaucoup le principe de la présentation d'un plat par le cuisinier lui-même. Le personnel de salle jeune dynamique & d'influences culinaires diverses s'est montré très professionnel & présent à souhait sans excès. Finalement une très belle expérience originale & festive.
Another beautiful discovery! My wife invited me to a surprise birthday dinner to this great restaurant & we loved the experience. Philippe, Théo, (également la mixologist désolé on n'a pas votre nom) & Chef Massimo were all perfect. We took the tasting menu with wine & all the meals were delicious. Only two recommendations for improvements: 1- the AC was not working & my wife would have like to be aware before we arrived at the restaurant - we had a very humid day in Montreal (almost 37c) 2- choice of music & the volume was loud at some moments. Regardless of those 2 details, we loved our experience & we will definitely go back & try the bar experience. Thank you all! Ali&Esthe
Very well curated dishes from various cuisines. Staff was friendly & attentive. The chef Massimo is an Italian with French culinary training who has worked under Daniel Boulud. He selects the dishes daily to keep the menu fresh & current with the seasons. The use of the charcoal grill is the highlight of many dishes as it infuses the food with the signature aroma of charcoal smoke.
