In addition to being the emblematic animal of Quebec, we were so called "the Caribou" during our visits to France, that it was obvious to borrow the name from this large deer.

Très bon service, portions généreuses dans le cadre de Mtl à Table, mais saveurs & harmonie des plats à revoir. Plus d'espace entre les tables svp, on n'a pas toujours envie de partager nos conversations avec des inconnus.
Nous sommes venues pour MTLàTable & nous avons adorées notre expérience. Tout était délicieux ! De l'entrée au dessert, on s'est régalées. Le tout dans un très beau décors & avec un service au top. Merci pour la belle soirée !

I have been for dinner several times over the last few years, most recently for MTLaTABLE. Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The food is excellent. Service is superb. Drinks are tasty. & the atmosphere is nice enough to feel special without feeling stuffy. I cannot wait until our next visit. Highly recommended.
Nous avons été pour mtl à table, rien à dire sur la nourriture 10/10 même les portions pas trop petit pas trop gros c'était très bien. Pour le service c'était courtois mais personne n'est venu nous voir après quelques minutes quand ont recevaient nos plats pour valider que c'était bon ou qu'on ne manquait de rien, exemple j'aurai bien aimé avoir plus de poivre dans un plat mais l'accès aux serveurs était assez restreint, il manquait une attention à ce niveau là , même si lorsqu'un serveur revenait il nous demandait si on avait bien mangé & qu'il pouvait débarrassé & le sourir était présent & on nous expliquait avant de service ce qu'on allait manger. Il y avait beaucoup de monde les tables sont très collées donc tout le monde entend ta conversation, on n'entend même pas la musique de fond du resto. Donc 4/5 je reviendrais pour manger mais sûrement un jour & heure ou je pense qu'il y aura moins de monde , belle découverte culinaire !
Visited Caribou Gourmand to try their Mtl à Table brunch menu. The portion was extremely generous for the price. We also ordered a dish from the à la carte menu, & it didn't disappoint. The waffles were so good that we couldn't resist ordering a second serving. Definitely worth a visit! We're planning to return soon to try their evening menu.
A local, seasonal Quebec restaurant. It happened to be during the MTL à Table event, a four-course meal for $50 per person. Each course has three options, including surf & turf & vegetarian options.
We chose stewed deer for our main course, which was supposedly cooked for long hours. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. Deer isn't suitable for stewing because it's practically fat-free. Foods that are good for stewing need some fat to taste good. This lean deer is best grilled. Cooked for too long, the meat fell apart into bits as soon as it entered my mouth, lacking any chewiness. However, eating deer is a way to warm up & prepare for winter.
They don't like detailed reviews. Had a 4 course/MTL table meal. Service was friendly & professional. Overall meal, barely a 6/10, mostly for blandness & the temperatures dishes were served at. Would not go back. Appetizer plate delicate, 3 tiny morsels. I liked the duck (8/10) & goat cheese (7/10), but the creme brulee failed (4/10), it was sprinkled with too much sugar, which was soggy, not crystallized. I guess they failed to notice &/or forgot to'brulee'- like a wet egg omelette. The seafood bisque (6/10) was not creamy or smooth like a bisque but was rustic - nice but it was served tepid. I almost sent it back to have it heated but was too hungry. Served in a pretty little bowl, 2 mussels, 2 shrimp with the'bisque' but lacked any depth of flavor. The salmon (3/10) as the main course had zero flavour profile to speak of - plus it was undercooked & almost raw. I love sushi, so I ate it, but again, a barely warm plate. The skin was soft & grey & had a slight fishy taste - not so ok. The risotto was very pasty & salty. I told the waitress but she didn't seem to understand & did nothing about it. My son had the Deer Burger (7/10) good but dry. He had to add quite a bit of the mayo to it. Fries with it were good. The desserts are relatively big. My son made the observation that he'd prefer bigger mains & not so much sugar. The Raspberry mousse cloud (7/10) was v pretty, but too much overly sweet meringue. I like pure whipped cream but this had too much added sugar/filler. The maple dessert (7/10) was very creamy, similar to the cream on the Raspberry. The table next to us had the hazelnut which I think I'd have preferred. Would likely rate higher if had our food been served warm & if there had been more flavour than just salt.

Excellent restaurant! Le repas proposé pour MTL à Table était succulent, de l'entrée au dessert. Le service impeccable, aimable & professionnel. À faire & à refaire!
Wow wow wow - This place was an absolute gem. The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, & sincere. We came here for the Mtl a Table event & they had a wonderfully curated menu with unique & delicious options. The atmosphere is pleasant with the rustic yet refined Canadian decor, beautiful wooden displays & ambient light, & no loud music. A 10/10 in my books. Well done!
I went there twice, once for brunch & once for dinner during MTL à table. Food was good, nice patio & friendly staff. I have also appreciated the wine menu with several under 50$ options. Will definitely go back.

Réservé pour MTL à table 2024. Menu quatre services avec accord mets & vins tout à fait sublime. Le trio de bouchées sont bien équilibrées, les entrées savoureuses, la portion du plat principal est généreuse & tout autant pour le dessert. Le service sympathique & attentionné dans une ambiance conviviale. Très belle expérience qui amène à vouloir clairement y retourner.
Dans le cadre de MTL à table nous vivons réserver en famille & tout sans exception était délicieux. Du saumon fumé en gravlax ou le yack, le risotto le poisson un délice. Le service était souriant & avenant. Une place à découvrir ou retourne
Nous sommes allés dans le cadre de mtlàtable. J'ai pris le loup de mer & j'ai été extrêmement déçu. Je n'ai pas été en mesure de le manger à cause du goût & de la texture. Je me croyais difficile, les goûts c'est personnels, mais j'ai entendu un autre client se plaindre & la serveuse lui a répondu que personne aime vraiment ça, c'est plus pour attirer qu'autre chose. Oupelaye ! Pas ma façon de faire mais bon ça fonctionne faut croire. J'ai eu des maux de ventre & la nausée toute la soirée. Rendu chez moi j'ai été malade. Toutefois, le reste était délicieux. Mention spéciale au désert qui était succulent. Je recommande quand même juste pas de se faire berner par le phoques.
