I'll be quick to the point.

The food…
Tartlette, Provençale
Beautiful presentation: mustard creamy sauce. The vegetable were perfect roasted over the grill. Nice dark streaks. Crust was crispy.

Beef tartare with smoked mackerel
The smoked mackerel adds another level to the taste. It's very dynamic. The flavour profile reminds me of ikura.

Halibut
Succulent & extremely buttery, melt in your mouth fish. The fish was salted, but balanced well when you combined it with the corn which was sweet & the greens.

Lobster with squid ink pasta
Al dente pasta. I really enjoyed the creamy tomato sauce. The lobsters were slightly over cooked, but it didn't matter much. I especially liked the pea shoots on top. It made the dish very unique.

The service: high quality & very attentive. Helped with the blinds when the sun was blinding me. Very friendly & easy to talk to. The food came out relatively quickly, one after the other. The whole team were outstanding.

Here's what we had & in the order that we liked the food: duck, fish, raw scallops & beef tartare. the beef tartare had too much sauce which made the tartare feel like mush. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert, it was ok but nothing to write home about. It seems like a lot of food but the portions are fairly light & small (except for the duck). Not a fan of natural wines so we opted for cocktails. In all, good food. glad we tried it.

Spectacular restaurant, gorgeous food, & impeccable service! What a beautiful restaurant located on a very cool street in the heart of Villeray. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend trying an assortment of appetizers such as the scallops, the vegetable tart & the beef tartare. I went there with my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary & we were treated like royalty. Unforgettable! One of the best restaurants experiences in Montreal!

A cute wine bar serving serious food. Do not let the trendy appearance fool you, there is some high caliber, creative cooking happening here. Everything we ordered was a dish we'd heard of before, done with a slight twist, & to perfection. Best beef tartare we've ever had. The service was amazing, & the wine recommendations were spot on.
