Review Summary

Canti Osteria & Bar offers a well located spot where guests can enjoy delicious, well prepared dishes before a hockey game or a show and soak in a relaxed yet lively vibe. Service is generally friendly and efficient, with easy access on show nights and smooth entry noted for event crowds, though a few experiences describe timing hiccups during busy periods. The menu is short and focused, with fresh, flavorful plates and a standout mushroom pappardelle with truffle, while some diners wish for a little more variety and feel certain items are pricey. The space can be noisy and bustling, adding energy for many but not ideal for those who prefer quiet meals. Overall, guests frequently praise the quality, execution and welcoming atmosphere that makes Canti Osteria & Bar a dependable option for a tasty meal near the action.

Really a nice place with good food & a superbly located place, before a hockey game or a show. The only down side the noise, It's a cafeteria. Nothing to absorbe sound.

Un excellent service de la part de Stéphane. Cependant, nourriture très ordinaire & surtout très cher pour le résultat... plaisant lorsque tu vas voir une game & que tu reviens à ta table entre les périodes, mais vraiment pas un restaurant où je vais pour avoir un bon souper...

I was there for the afternoon game & reserved the'family day' brunch at this restaurant & it ended up being an awful experience. I booked an hour & a half before game start thinking that we would have plenty of time but the service ended up taking forever. It wasn't before 30min went by that the waiter came by to ask if we had had our entrees. Isn't his job to know that? He came back 10min Later to ask for the order again because he seemed to have'lost' it. We waited another 20min for the food to show up. The restaurant wasn't that full so it's not like the kitchen or the waiters were swamped. The table next to us were given the same treatment but they weren't as patient & left before they got their food. & once we got our food we were disappointed to say the least. The portions were decent but just not tasty. We had the breakfast burger & breakfast sandwich. Throughout this whole ordeal, the maître D was walking around the restaurant nonchalantly as if everything was normal. He didn't bother to go to the tables to apologize or explain the situation. The waiter ended up blaming it on the fact that it was a special event & that they're not used to doing brunches. Definitely would not recommend.

5 star. Let's just start with that. Had reservations, got there, was sat down right away. Had Cesar salad as an app, & was there for the Habs game, but the server was honest, there wouldn't be enough time, if we ordered a meal, that it would come out before the first period of the fame would start. But, then came the best part, tell her what you want now, & after the end of the first period, when the 1st intermission starts, come back, same table, leave your jackets here, & everything will be sitting on the table. WOW. EXACTLY what we did. Came back, 1st intermission, everything was in the table, bottle of wine that I had asked for & all, beyond perfect. The food was tasty & steak, medium, on point 👌👌👌. I highly recommend, but the experience comes with a price ;)
