wonderful warm service, good food & wine, beautiful space. a great place to go alone if you like sitting at the bar with a glass of wine & a bite people watching.
Had a great dinner at Casavant. we were a bif group so they accomodated us with a wonderful set menu. Everything they sent out was delicious. The Beef tartare & Scallops really set the bar high for the rest of the courses. Each dish server tastefully transitioned you from the last course to the next, allowing your pallet to taste the flavours of each ingredient.
The Price was very reasonable at 75$ a head, I felt like I got to taste alot of great food.
Atmosphere was great, the server & host notice anything to make your time better & offer to help. really unfortunate with the construction on the street but welcome to Montreal.
If you're a down for a nice dinner with levels of freshness & Quality ingredients, come try Casavant.
Top-5 beef tartare from a tartare lover. Top-notch ingredients across the board & some well-curated dishes/drinks. Small menu, small spot, but lively. I'm solo at the bar with dates behind me & a group of 10 to my right - all vibes are valid. Arrived underdressed after a day at the park & was treated with nothing but smiles.

Super expérience, meilleur mocktail de ma vie. Le cocktail était très bon aussi. Staff super smat & décor super mignon. Manger au bar ne feel pas comme un mauvais spot.
My wife & I ate at Casavant while visiting Montreal this weekend & had an all around lovely experience. We were definitely the only non-Francophones in attendance but all staff from the owners to servers were so kind & helpful. They helped us through the wine list & we ended up with a perfect bottle. We shared the scallops, beef tartare, duck & seabass. All four dishes were incredible, but the scallops were a favourite. One of the owners made us a list of other restaurants, bars & sites to see when he found out it was our first time in Montreal.
All around great experience & would highly recommend.
What a wonderful place - staff was warm & welcoming, & let me have small tastes of a lot their wine. Bartender guided me to exactly what I wanted. The scallop & sea bass dishes were divine.
L'accueil a été chaleureux & l'ambiance, lumineuse & élégante, met en valeur une réelle attention aux détails sans jamais en faire trop.
Le bar à la grenobloise a été le moment fort de la soirée. Les sauces, un beurre noisette remarquable & un velouté de fenouil parfaitement équilibré, étaient absolument sublimes. Même si la cuisson du poisson m'a semblé légèrement trop poussée, le plat demeure l'un des meilleurs poissons que j'ai eu l'occasion de déguster récemment.
J'ai apprécié l'accord mets-vin proposé, même si j'aurais aimé quelque chose d'un peu plus marqué pour compléter l'ensemble du repas.
Le cocktail au mélilot était très bon également. Le service au bar, bien qu'adéquat, m'a simplement semblé un peu moins affirmé que celui en salle, qui lui était particulièrement remarquable.
En somme, une excellente expérience. J'y retournerai sans hésiter & je recommande sans réserve.
& si quelqu'un de l'équipe me lit : je serais ravie d'avoir la chance d'un stage d'une journée dans votre cuisine même juste pour apprendre vos sauces, quitte à laver toute la vaisselle en échange !
Great restaurant. They don't have a tasting menu but we went there & told them to surprise us. They were delighted & we loved the experience. We got 5 courses to share. Everything was delicious, but the highlights were the scallops, the fish (especially the sauce) as well as the foie gras. I forgot to take pics of the best stuff except the foie gras. It looked too good to wait & take a pic… Price wise, for the quality & generous portions, it's a bargain. All in all, I highly recommend!
Trouvé ce restaurant via le guide Michelin, dans la catégorie Bib Gourmand. Pas déçu, petit restaurant de quartier, avec un excellent service, de la bonne bouffe. On a commencé avec une douzaine d'huîtres, 2 entrées + 2 plats principaux + plusieurs verres de vin & vin mousseux, pour un total avec taxes + pourboire de 393,82$. Mon invité était content d'y avoir célébré son anniversaire. Petite mention à signaler, les chaises au bar, ne sont pas partiellement confortables. Somme toute, une belle soirée.
