We had an amazing evening at Figata, our server Daphnée helped make our first experience here a wonderful one. The cocktails were delicious, our starters the meatballs & mozzarella ball were very tasty. The mains were so good, the wine list is very complete with many great selections. We ended the night with a shareable tiramisu that hit the spot. Already thinking out our next visit!
Une superbe découverte dans le quartier St-Henri, un véritable coup de coeur! Le resto est joliment décoré, très chaleureux comme effet. L ambiance y est tamisée par de petites lampes posées sur chaque table. La musique en background est également de bon goût. Le service est exceptionnel & ce, de la part de toute l équipe en place. J ai été impressionné à la fois par le professialisme & la gentillesse des personnes oeuvrant en salle.
Le cocktail au fruit de la passion est l un des meilleurs que j ai eue la chance de goûter. Belle liste de vin. L entrée de frito misto ainsi que les boulettes furent excellentes. Les généreux plats de pâtes sont parfaits pour le partage. Celles aux champignons sont décadentes, crémeuses & parfumées... un régal! Celles à la sauce tomate & au fromage sont également savoureuses. La qualité, la fraicheur des produits, le savoir faire de l équipe en cuisine & le soucis du détail est une combinaison explosive pour obtenir un repas parfait!
À bientôt Figata!
* Le resto est victime de son immense popularité donc il est essentiel de faire une réservation pour éviter une déception/frustration, une fois rendu sur place. Il y a aussi une terrasse pour la saison estivale.
Un petit menu, peu de choix & les plats sont moyens avec un prix relativement élevé. Un restaurant avec 10 plats au menu se doit d'avoir des plats qui sont WOW. Ce n'est pas le cas pour ce resto. C'était notre première fois, & probablement notre dernière.
A good restaurant overall, but with a few considerations.
First, the service was excellent - truly hard to fault. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, & I honestly don't have any complaints about the space itself.
Now, about the food. I believe this place has gained a lot of hype because of TikTok, & for that reason, I found it a bit overrated. The food is good & has a very homemade feel to it. The meatballs ($15 for three pieces), paired with the focaccia ($7), tasted like something your grandmother would make - comforting & satisfying, but without that'wow' factor that makes you think about a dish for days afterward. For such simple, home-style flavors, I found it somewhat expensive.
For the main course, I had the Zozzona. It felt a bit more restaurant-worthy, but again, there was nothing particularly complex or unique about it - just a tasty pasta dish that many other places can execute equally well.
To finish, I had the tiramisu. It was good, but not memorable. In fact, that sums up the entire meal: everything was tasty, but nothing was exceptional or'pray-between-bites' good.
What surprised me most was the final bill. After taxes, it came to only $36, which was less than I expected. For that price, I ate quite well & left satisfied. Still, despite the hype, I wouldn't describe the experience as anything particularly special.
