Chef Massimo & his team never cease to amaze me. The thought, flavour, & execution of each dish is unrivalled. He & his team were also incredibly hospitable & welcoming of my team that had difficult dietary restrictions. The wine pairings were expertly chosen to be unconventional, thought provoking, & delicious. After my third visit here, it remains clear this restaurant is a MUST go.

Be prepared for a gastronomical experience...this is not a place to go out for a quick bite but to take your time to enjoy all the thoughtful flavors assembled by a team of chefs for your culinary delights...literally! Cabaret L'enfer offers an outstanding service of very small portions, prepared & presented over an extended period of time...usually coupled with an excellent wine paring. Just know that this meal takes time...budget around 2 1/2 hours to fully enjoy the experience (see below for more). The set menu was presented to us as we sat down...with 7 included courses & the option to add on two others (for an additional charge). Note that everything is prepared in house (bread, purees, etc...) so it is super fresh. The wine pairing is an additional $85 but includes a 100ml glass for almost each dish so it is worth the value. The starter is the Anti-Pasti board (a mixed of meats & purees with a side of bread), then a pasta Agnolotti with Hazelnuts, then a Scallop & Potato service, then a Cardeau fish serving, then a Hazelnut Tetela Mexican tarte, the Lemon Parsley Granita palate cleanser, the meat service in a Bordelaise sauce, followed by two dessert dishes, Meringue Skull with Black Apple & Blackberry Mille-Feuille. As mentioned, the portions are relatively small & we did not feel stuffed or overwhelmed in any way & everything truly tasted wonderful. Although I commented on the length of the meal service, in fact it was barely noticeable because of the company I had. We had a chance to catch up with each other & re-connect as it were in a perfect setting. So it made our meal that much more enjoyable...& that would be my point; go with a small group 2-4 people where you can spend quality time together. It will be well worth the visit & create a warm, loving memory. Enjoy!

Incredible experience - easily one of the best meals my wife & I have ever had. Each course was beautifully presented & full of unique, delicious flavors. The smell & flavor from the Japanese style, wood-fired grill were particularly delicious. The wine pairings were spot on as well. Also, my wife is vegetarian the substitutes she received in place of the meat courses were excellent. We live in New England but I'd happily make the drive to Montreal every time their menu changes - it's that good. Thank you so much to Massimo & team for a great experience, we cannot wait to return!

What a culinary experience. From start to finish, brilliant! Best seat in the house is definitely the chef's counter. Watching chef Massimo Piedimonte along with his team, prepare flawlessly each dish & interacting with us added to the experience. Also recommend the wine pairing. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we found the portions very small.

Amazing spot in Montreal. Ran by passionate people who truly know their craft.

If you want to go all in with the tasting menu ($120) & it's wine pairing (80$)you will leave satisfied, happy & wanting to come back.

Now they have a late night short menu for those who want to be coming back often as regulars, amazing 40$ price for three courses this one is a must for repeat customers. I know I'll be coming back for more.

Thank you Santiago & the rest of the team for putting on a show last night.
