We loved it here. The food is really inventive & unusual & each plate was amazing. Courgette with chicken skin, Asian style fish & a mushroom salad; all fantastic. Great wine. Really lovely waiter who was spot on. Well done everyone!

I went here literally 2 days in a row. The seabass melts in your mouth, calamari sauce leaves you fighting yourself to not lick the plate, the chicken wings have you licking your fingers, the eggplant bursts with flavour & that's just to name a few items. Last but definitely not least is the dessert, I never heard of a Pavlova but that & the chocolate torte make you question if you ever had a real dessert before! A beautiful culinary experience in Montreal!

Overpriced & tiny portions. I honestly wish I could get my 24$ back for that pathetic excuse of a'salmon' main dish, which consisted of a tiny plate of hard cubes of either salmon or tuna. The table couldn't even believe this was a main. I feel scammed.

Every bite here is just a bomb of flavor & comfort. Really really good. Like, spooning up the remaining sauce on our plates & ripping the head off the fish carcass to dig out more bits.

Hands down THE best meals we had while in Montreal. (I came several times & often after leaving more expensive less satisfying restaurants)

& that's before getting to the stellar wine/drink menu, replete with GOOD non alcoholic options. Wonderful curation of nerdy, interesting & TASTY wines.

Special shoutout to our phenomenal dreadlocked server who had a way of explaining the food/menu/drinks & checking in that didn't feel overbearing, too wordy, or awkward... just kind & attentive.

Recommended: cod croquette, broccoli & spatzle, whole fried fish, & the miso black food

We had 7 or 8 sharing plates between the four us & every dish was just delicious. The wine list is extensive & the two bottles we had were very very good. The vibe is amazing & our server was just so good. Very much worth a visit.

Excellent by-the-bottle wine program & better than average by-the-glass program. They had a decent variety of vegetarian items but only in the small plates section of the menu; nevertheless every bite made my tastebuds happy. I was worried that I wasnt going to be full because the portions looked on the small side, but I left satisfied & the food wasn't heavy or salty or weighing me down. Fresh plates between courses, clean counterspace maintenance, & no empty dishes cluttering our dining surface. The schnitzel was a particular favorite.

Simply delicious- we ordered a variety of plates & shared them with 4 people, & definitely enjoyed it very much. Zucchinis super, beetroots superb, potatoes yummy, & last but not least chicken wings, dream of a dream, really recommend them. Plus some calamaris, which were excellent. Service was very attentive & nice, the atmosphere is fine & if you want to plan to go there, you should definitely do reservations. Plan ahead !!! Pricing for 4 people no alcohol around 185 Canadian $
