If you don't speak French there will be communication issues - make sure you are understood clearly. The food is great & it's a beautiful meal but there are certain details they do not attend to … they didn't ask me how I wanted my lamb cooked & it came out to the table rare … dessert came out mostly melted … we asked twice to have more timely service because we had a concert to go to after but the staff still didn't come by to get our check in a timely way.
Lovely location in a park, meticulously prepared food & friendly service made for a refined evening.
2 visites en 2024 & une nouvelle visite en 2025 & demeure notre coup de coeur à Montréal ! Les goûts sont sublimes, l'accord met/vin surprenant, les plats sont aussi magnifiques que savoureux ! Ambiance décontractée & sans prétention ! Une explosion de saveurs & de fraîcheur !
Had to score it a 5 star. It was a memorable place. Food was very good. Best place I have been in a long while
Service parfait ! Bouffe incroyable! Belle équipe. Recommandation définitive.
Excellent in all ways. Wine pairings were unique. Well matched with mostly Quebec sourced!
Without a doubt one of the top five restaurants where I've dined in my 70+ years. Low-key & intimate vibe, cordial & attentive wait staff, but the food is sublime. Chef John Winter Russel curated a delightful prix fixe menu with local ingredients & the skill of a Michelin-star chef.
Amazing experience! The staff are super friendly, the service is flawless & the food is amazing. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience at this restaurant, service was on point & delicious food.
Excellent service, la salle est intime & accueillante, la cuisine est du Québec & de saison.
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.
Candide is nothing short of a remarkable dining experience. The food is truly exquisite, showcasing creative, seasonal dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Each plate tells a story, blending fresh local ingredients with a thoughtful approach that makes every bite memorable. The service is warm & attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The only drawback for me was the lighting-it's a bit too dim, which slightly detracts from enjoying the visual appeal of the stunning dishes. However, this is a minor inconvenience when weighed against the exceptional quality of the food. If you're looking for a dining experience that's both refined & grounded in local flavors, Candide is a must-visit. Just consider bringing a small light to fully appreciate the artistry on your plate!
Une très belle découverte ! Au restaurant Candide, les légumes sont véritablement mis à l'honneur, avec des produits frais, bio & locaux qui subliment chaque assiette. L'ambiance était agréable, & le service était impeccable. La cuisson de la viande & du poisson était parfaite, tendre & savoureuse. Une expérience culinaire de qualité que je recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de cuisine saine & bien exécutée. Bravo à toute l'équipe !
Food was marvelous, a beautiful culinary adventure Service was perfect, super courteous & a guide through the menu We had a magnificent evening
Amazing service & the food is quite delicious. It can be slightly over-seasoned for some people but their bread is quite delicious which offset it for me.
