Very unique space off the main road, outside on the patio & attached to a small garden. Food was wonderful, service very warm, & all around a fantastic place to have had my sisters birthday dinner ✨✨✨View more

The set menu was fantastic, with a few delightful surprises along the way. My personal highlight was the asparagus starter, which is enjoyed by hand - a fun & unique experience. The wine pairing was also excellent, featuring some great local selections. You can really tell the staff love what they do, which made the evening even more enjoyable.View more

A Charming Spot with Potential! This quaint restaurant, tucked behind an old church (now a community center), offers a unique dining experience with a focus on quality ingredients, thoughtful cuisine, excellent service, & a warm, inviting atmosphere. I reserved a bar seat for one, but the staff kindly offered me an available table instead. However, I opted to stay at the bar, enjoying the view of the kitchen. The bar seating includes under-table hooks for bags, a thoughtful touch. The seasonal menu is priced at $85CAD, includes two starters, one main, & one dessert. Add-ons oysters (+4$) & wine pairing (+56$ for four half glasses) are also available. The starters featured a good portion & impressive variety of fresh greens, including Brussels sprouts, shallots, radicchio, & spinach. The quality & freshness of the ingredients were evident & much appreciated. For the main, I had the Guinea Hen with Raspberry sauce. The dish was beautifully executed, the meat was tender & juicy, the skin perfectly crispy, & the flavors were well-balanced. The red wine pairing complemented the raspberry sauce nicely, enhancing the dish's complexity. Unfortunately, the starters were overly salty. When I informed my server, they adjusted the seasoning for my main course, which turned out perfectly. Despite the kitchen tasting each dish before serving, the saltiness accumulates as customers finish their plates, making it difficult to enjoy consecutive dishes. I could hardly enjoy my second starter after finishing the first. Dessert was an interesting combination of cheese & sweet potato, but the unexpected spiciness of the sweet potato was surprising. While I can tolerate spice, the level is certain too intense for many others. The menu or server should have mentioned this detail beforehand. Service was attentive after the initial delay, water wasn't served, & no one approached me for the first ten minutes. Additionally, the restroom door was left open for some time, which detracted slightly from the otherwise cozy ambiance. The location may be tricky to find, it's directly behind the church facade. Overall, while there were minor missteps, the quality ingredients, innovative dishes, & accommodating service made for a pleasant evening. I look forward to returning to explore a different seasonal menu.View more

What an amazing restaurant. Tasting menu has a lot of quality & seasonal ingredients. The highlights of the meal for me were the crab & carrot dish as well as the mushroom oat porridge. I visited Montreal during the snow crab season, so the crab was out of this world. The porridge was savory & hearty. Service was attentive & friendly. The waitresses were so nice & sweet. One of the waitresses was also in charge of making cocktails, & the drink that I got was delicious. The restaurant is in the back of an old church & has a very unique vibe.View more

Go for: a roller-coaster culinary experience with local produce & game meat that you didn't think was possible to have. Avoid if: you're going out for dinner on a budget. Something surprising: sitting at the bar was the right choice, with direct service & descriptions from the chefs & lots of conversation with the rest of the staff. Reservation needed? Yes, highly recommended Overall Experience: 5/5. Each course on the menu was surprisingly delicious, the wine pairings were truly unique & actually made sense when consumed with the food, & the entire staff was engaging, knowledgeable, & a lot of fun. Value for Price: 4 Sanitation: 5 Food Quality: 5 Menu Precision: 5 Service Quality: 5 Timing: 5 Decor: 4 Access: 3 - 5 among the best 4 strong 3 not too bad 2 mediocre 1 never againView more

Un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. Une excellente expérience pas prétentieuse du tout, détendue, avec un décor de bois & brique.

La formule unique en 4 services change tout les mois & propose des plats originaux & plein de goûts adaptés à la saison. On y mange mieux qu'au Toqué, d'autant plus que les ingrédients sont en majorité locaux. Les mocktails changent aussi & sont excellents, tout comme la carte de vins extensive.

Tout dans ce restaurant respire la joie de vivre.
Le service est incroyable, rapide & extrêmement à l'ecoute. Des alternatives à CHAQUE plat seront proposés en cas d'allergie ou intolérance.

Le repas se finit par une petite surprise, dans notre cas une dégustation de miel, une belle touche qui rajoute à la prestation excellente de ce restaurant.View more
