Le personnel est décrit comme professionnel et généreux, avec un service fluide et des explications des plats à table qui ajoutent à l'expérience. L'ambiance oscille entre rusticité et chic, avec une cuisine ouverte et un cadre intime propice aux repas en couple ou entre amis, la terrasse est souvent citée comme un atout, tout comme l'approche farm to table et les ingrédients locaux.

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 !
Incredible food, staff & atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. The set menu changes monthly with local seasonal ingredients for innovative dishes.

Amazing not to be missed place ... Michelin stars in my book if it does not have them already! Multi course meal with each course being perfect & exceptional, surprising, delicate yet delicious... Love it!
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.

The best restaurant of our trip to Montreal. Exceptionally high-quality, seasonal ingredients, open kitchen, & excellent service. It definitely deserves a Michelin star in the future!
Expérience incroyable !
L'équipe à une très belle connaissance des plats & de l'origine des vins. On nous a expliqué chaque détails. Un service impeccable. La nourriture était divine ! Ce restaurant viens de monter dans mes tops préférés ! Bravo !!
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 ✨✨✨
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.
Fantastic food & a wonderful experience! The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm & chic elegance. The wine pairing was spot on - thoughtfully curated & enhanced every course. Highly recommended!
Pre fixe menu with limited choice. We went as a couple in June 2025. All local ingredients from Quebec & we had the wine pairing. Very interesting wines & really pleasant staff. The outdoor seating was lovely. Location is in the middle of a park & half of a church, so a little difficult to find.
Candide is an absolutely amazing restaurant!! It's a local gem, with an emphasis on farm to table cuisine. The vibe is relaxed & casual & the quality of the food is top notch. I had the lamb leg with cucumber & yogurt for my main, & it was honestly one of the best food combos I've ever had!! The service is also excellent - all of the servers we interacted with were extremely friendly. I would go back to Candide in a heartbeat!
