Pro tip: Don't be an idiot like me & try going through the front doors. Candide is situated at the back. Facing the front there's a walkway to the left that will lead you to a porch with an outdoor patio with hanging lights. We really appreciated our experience at Candide. From the locally sourced produce & livestock to the every changing menu you have to appreciate their mission to provide the best available options in a sustainable manner. From beginning to end our four course meal provided hit after hit. There were no bad plates & we made sure to clean our plates as best as possible. We were extremely satisfied after our last bite & would definitely consider going back the next time we visit Montreal.View more

If you love good food, execution & the movie The Menu (in the best way) please go to this restaurant. I don't think I could fault a single thing. Service was outstanding. Every course was delicious. & every wine pairing was unique, fitting & delicious. The team is wonderful & you can tell they love what they do. 1110. Go! Ask questions! Also sit at the bar & thank me later.View more

This restaurant is astonishingly good. When I see "prix fixe," my expectations immediately go up, & yet, Candide shattered every one of them. Entering the cozy setting, you are greeted & treated warmly & genuinely. The service is attentive & generally outstanding. But even if it wasn't, this would've been a transcendent experience. I'm a touring musician with a love of food, & as such have been lucky enough to eat at some really great places all over the world. But I can say without hesitation that this was one of the best. Each of the dishes, & the wine that paired with them, were flawless. A perfectly considered balance of texture, flavor, richness, sharpness, & portion. Each dish was one of the most delicious versions of that thing I've ever had. & to cap it all off, the price was reasonable. About $100 US per person for four courses with wine pairings. I would have happily paid a lot more for this meal. If you're still reading, JUST GO!!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

I was getting jealous of chef as Ive indulged myself on very wholesome dishes full of fresh ingredients that complemented so well with each other. He could have charged much more for course menu, but I’ve realized that it is an anchor institution to the community & the chef doesn’t care about money cause he’s an OG.View more

C'est rare que je suis aussi impressionné par un endroit. Tout était parfait, rien à redire.
La cuisine était tout simplement délicieuse. Des plats qui peuvent parfois sembler simple, étonnent par la profondeur & la richesse de leurs saveurs. Aussi, je n'ai jamais vu un restaurant adapter avec autant de brio les plats en fonction des allergies & restrictions alimentaires. Les accord mets-vins (même pour moi qui n'est pas très vins bio) étaient à tomber par terre.
Un service très attentionné & sympathique. Tous les employés s'occupent de la table. Jamais besoin d'attendre longtemps. Ambiance très agréable & inattendu pour un sous-sol d'église.
À toute l'équipe, chapeau bas.View 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

Un très bon moment passé en famille pour l'anniversaire de notre fils. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les petites attentions & ajustements qui ont été faits par rapport à mes intolerances alimentaires. Le service était très efficace & chaleureux: c'était très agréable. Par rapport à la cuisine, l'entrée avec les brocolis & le dessert à la framboise étaient à tomber, les autres plats étaient un peu en-dessous. Mais c'était agréable de manger des produits locaux, frais & caractéristiques du Québec.View more

Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table & were able to see all the food being prepared & ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste & they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious & made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.View more

I was so impressed by the food, service & decor at Candide. There were 6 of us for dinner & two of us had the vegan menu. It did not disappoint. Normally, vegan food is a second thought & a subpar option relative to the set offering. But this wasn't the case for candide. Every course was just as divine as the meat / dairy options. Thank you for catering for everyone! You rock.View more

Even without the wine pairing this was easily the best meal these two traveling foodies have had. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Lord willing, we will be back.View more

La partie la plus intéressante est l'arrivée par ce sentier qui n'est pas une rue & de se retrouver au sous-sol de cette église. Les meubles faits avec les anciens bancs d'église sont aussi bien sympatiques.
Mais dès qu'on y est, le son nous agresse, pas que la musique est mauvaise mais le son est très mal ajusté & désagréable.
Le menu 4 services est intriguant à priori mais la nourriture est correcte sans plus. Il y a certes des mélange de saveurs & de textures inusitées mais pas toujours heureuses. En général, trop salé. Bref, contente d'avoir essayé mais je n'y retournerai pas. Il y a trop d'endroits & cool & très bons dans le coin.

Vous pouvez attendre que Zagat ou Pellegrino vienne nous dire qu'on a à Montréal un restaurant de la trempe des Noma, Mugaritz, & autres hauts-lieux d'une cuisine résolument locale poussée à son paroxisme...
ou vous pouvez vous presser d'y aller, pendant qu'il n'y a encore que quelques «foodies» inconditionnels dans la salle à manger.
L'atmosphère y est magique. On a la chance d'être témoins de grand art: un travail précis, attentionné, passionné, livré de manière sincère, honnête, sans justifications, & à prix vraiment abordable.
Une seule exigence de notre part: ouvrir ses papilles pour en savourer toutes les subtilités.
