What a revelation. Don't know where to start here, just sat having a beer, nice weather type of beer.
Madcap wash board buskers set up next door, not my type but well listenable to.
Was going to a hiatian place then decide to look at menue here, saw Peruvian yellow potatoes ther & thought why not.
Well it was a revelation, with prawns & lobster bisque. Expeted the usual, whole potatoes with prawns & a bit of thick bisque.
What turned up - still trying to figure it out - prob nicest well constructed, taste full, balanced - plate of food I have had in a long while.
You have to try it, not costly & the chef has it sorted.
The staff are also amazing.
If it's one thing you do in Montreal, spend some time here.
C'était vraiment très bon! On a goûté à tous les plats & on en garde un très bon souvenir. La serveuse (dont j'ai malheureusement oublié le nom) était aussi très sympa. Merci !
Nous sommes allés vendredi le 27 juin… Quelle belle surprise. La nourriture excellente… les recommandations pour le vin extraordinaires & le service assuré par Meg, juste parfait. Nous y retournerons assurément!
I seriously can not say enough good things about this restaurant. We were visiting from Toronto as a table of 4. We have eaten in many top restaurants around the globe to include Michelin star restaurants & I have NEVER had a server share the details of the menu with such passion. Hands down Olivia is a hidden gem within this industry. The food OMG ! Sooooo good !! We ate family style & tried a total of 7 dishes. Each dish including the small plates was enough for 4 -5 people to share. I strongly recommend sharing family style so you have the opportunity to try the menu selection. As for the price we thought this was also very reasonable as there was bottle of wine shared & 5 cocktails.
What a fabulous meal & an outstanding level of service. The Italo-Peruvian fusion is a winner. The Tuna was perfect, the beef brisket so tender. The menu is simple but diverse. Thanks to all the staff for making our wedding meal so memorable 🍾❤?🥂
If your idea of good dining is discovering new flavours & unusual combinations that taste fantastic, go to Capisco. Chef Marcel Larrea had previously given us modern Peruvian Japanese & Chinese treats at his ultra-popular restaurants Tiradito & Chifa (where I always take friends). At Capisco, he delivers his wonderful take on Italian. Don't expect the ordinary. You'll have tons of fun.
We stopped just to have a drink, rest a bit, & watch the people go by in the pedestrian zone. Our well tattooed waiter treated us just as well as if we had ordered their finest fare.

Capisco is your best bet on rue St Paul. It has charm, the friendliest staff, & of course, some of the best food in Old Montreal. If just reading off the menu wasn't enough.. & it's not, the dishes are rather unique, they're delicious with some tantalizing flavours, the plating is on point, with creative cocktails. It's a welcome experience, for Old Montreal.. or New!! Inside or patio, indulge in some of the finest. Highly recommend.
Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé dans un aussi bon resto ! Tout est absolument délicieux, les cocktails sont fabuleux, l'ambiance est chaleureuse, la musique est bonne & le service est super! C'est déjà la 2e fois que j'y vais & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner!
Thank you Joseph & Capisco for an amazing'blind menu' dinner. Every course was a beautifully prepared & delicious with a mouthwatering gnocchi & beef brisket main course. Perfect Rue Saint Paul location for people watching & excellent street music during our meal. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Old Town Montreal.
