Nous avons vécu une expérience culinaire hors du commun. Les cuisiners sont de vetitables artistes, la sommeliere vous accompagne pour trouver l'accord parfait. Cet un assemblage étincellent de créativité faire naître un feu d'artifice de goûts & parfums à savourer sans fin. Le service impeccable enveloppe le tout de chaleur & convivialité. Une magnifique table à redecouvrir chaque mois.

Great atmosphere & service but the food is not as it used to be 2-3 years ago. Out of four courses, two were subpar. Especially the fish course (arctic char-on the photo) with sweet sauce & carrots. Somehow the dish was too salty & too sweet at the same time. It was bad, with weird flavor. The second course was some sort of soup with leeks & mussels. It was sour & you couldn't chew anything on the plate. The first course, the oyster & the dessert were solid, with great flavor. This is why I used to love Candide-simple, but sophisticated & tasteful. Unfortunately I don't think we will be coming back when half of the dishes are a miss. Also a mocktail was not really a mocktail but an apple juice.

All perfect! Everything was delicious. Open kitch. A tad bit noisy, especially when getting the dish & wine info from our hostess but still, will be back soon!

Repas plus que parfait. Service excellent. Un peu bruyant & trop sombre selon moi. C'est un peu dommage de ne pas bien voir le jeu des couleurs dans son assiette.

C'est une expérience culinaire vraiment agréable. L'accord mets/vins est vraiment intéressant & nous permet de sortir de notre zone de confort. Le service est impeccable.

Food was inventive, fresh, tasty & not pretentious. Service was not rushed at any point. I'd definitely go back in a few months when the menu changes.

Feels like someone invited you to their cottage. rustic, open concept kitchen, good food, great wine, better staff, recommend the wine pairing - the sommelier was fantastic.

Excellent service, nice decor. The set menu was full of flavour & locally sourced. I don't even like tomatoes & green beans that much & I still enjoyed the second course. The halibut & the vegetable plate were fantastic. The dessert wasn't a bit too corn-ey for me but was still well done. All the cocktails were nice & well presented but I think the Tarragon was the best.

Nous avons passé un très bon souper au restaurant. Tous les plats étaient délicieux (mention spéciale à la cuisson du flétan qui était parfaite !). L'équipe était à l'écoute & très sympathique. Nous reviendrons certainement !

5 stars on all aspects - food, hospitality, service, overall experience. Absolutely a fine dining one should experience. The crew makes sure to explain the menu & the process so that you can choose the right option. What I specifically liked was the portion size - it wasn't too huge but also not too small to keep you hungry. It was as if curated by experts. Hats off to the service as well. Made sure they give enough time to the guests for each course. Definitely recommend this.

Beautiful restaurant, great service, great wine selection & really appreciated that it's farm to food. We were so pleasantly surprised. The tasting menu catered for a vegetarian & another dairy free. The location & terrace was stunning surrounded by all the herbs grown by the restaurant & fairy lights. A night to remember thanks to the amazing food & service

Excellent all around. The food was inventive, local, & delicious. The outdoor terrace is behind a church & out of site of the street. Very charming. Top service.

Gorgeous restaurant with great food. Wine list is one of the most creative & well-thought out that I've seen in Montreal. Definitely worth the pairing menu.

Bread: 10/10; wine: 8.5/10 (4 out of 6 wines were extraordinary, one was just decent, one was ok); kohlrabi entree: 9/10; tomato soup: 5/10; halibut plat: 8/10; cru berger fromage: 11/10; maple ice cream: 10/10.

Super lovely team with so many attentive servers & chefs.

The first two courses were delicious but the main course portion size was disappointing (tiny!). Delicious bread. The music was slightly too loud so we had to raise our voices a bit.
