Duck, Beef, Scallops & More ❤? What more can you really ask for then this?!
So I'm seriously kicking myself on this one. Probably the best meal I've had in 2026 to date. & it's crazy because here at @casavantmontreal, it's not like they are trying to reinvent the wheel here! But, with that said what they do server, is absolutely top notch of some of the best I've had.
So I have to start off by saying a pan sauce, can make or break a dish. Here both the sauce for the Duck & the Hanger Steak dish we got, freaking took me to another level. The duck was perfectly cooked, not chewy at all! Crispy Duck rendered skin & sliced to perfection. With a couple hearty radishes & lightly pickled veg, 10/10 banger. The Hanger Steak was really freaking mind blowing tho. Not only did they cook this thing perfect, while still being able to get a decent sear. But the sauce... Holy smokes! What a absolute show stopper. Paired so well with the delicate Chanterelles & perfectly cooked zucchini. Topped with a brown butter foam 100/10 FOODGASM 💦!
We also got the fan favourites that have been on the menu since they've opened on & off. Fresh to death Scallops with a Chorizo De Pascal topping. I think one of the best scallops dishes I've had in my life. So refreshing, super tender, perfectly seasoned, every element belongs there. Top 3 of all time for me for sure. Even the Beef tartare dish was taken to another level with the smoked mackerel sauce that took us to the moon. Bringing serf & turf to new heights!
I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good time, fantastic meal & attentive servive experiance! Tell your friends, your family & whoever will listen, this needs to be on your list to go visite yesterday!
Really loved our experience here. The staff was friendly & helpful & very welcoming.
The food was fantastic. Not really much to find fault with. The standout was the Sea Bass. Perfectly cooked & the buttery lemon sauce complemented the fish to a T.
Vibe was great. Not at all pretentious & feels like a spot where the neighbourhood comes to hang out.
Une expérience absolument mémorable. Tout était parfait, de l'ambiance chaleureuse créée par la petite bougie sur la table jusqu'à la finesse incroyable des assiettes.
La présentation des plats est digne d'un grand art. J'ai été particulièrement impressionné par le travail sur les textures, notamment avec les asperges parfaitement cuites & la sauce riche qui accompagnait la viande. C'est rare de trouver une telle qualité & autant de soin dans chaque détail.
Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous les amateurs de bonne cuisine qui cherchent une soirée spéciale à Montréal. Nous avons passé un excellent moment & nous reviendrons certainement très bientôt.
Great food & service. The sauce for the steak was very rich & amazing. The lobster pasta was also bursting with seafood flavour. The favourite for the table was the beef tartare- a must try.
This restaurant is awesome!!! We weren't feeling that hungry so we went with their smaller portioned dishes. Our serveuse Claire was amazing. We got all the pertinent information about their dishes & experienced great service. Their scallop dish in particular blew us away. Seriously, everyone s gotta try it! Their beef tartare & mushroom dish were great as well. Oysters were very fresh & their cucumber sauce was a light yet amazing touch that enhanced the taste. Would recommend 100%
Been there many times, & the quality of the meals keeps getting better with every visit. Their magic lies in the carefully curated high-quality ingredients, incredible homemade sauces, & that perfect overall taste. They also have a fantastic wine selection, with several rare finds you won't see elsewhere. The service is consistently great, friendly & relaxed. Easily one of my top 5 restaurants in Montreal.
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 !
Petits plats a partager, un ensemble de délices, tout est très bien équilibré, très bien dosé, les portions sont parfaites, une belle découverte! J'ai adoré l'attention des sauces, crèmes ou purées onctueuses qui enrobent les mets avec gourmandise
