Casavant is widely praised as a refined, cozy neighborhood restaurant with inventive, well balanced dishes built around seasonal ingredients and strong wine pairings, served by attentive staff and set in a gorgeous space with a notable terrace; the dining experience is described as exceptional from start to finish by many, though a few visits report pacing issues where cocktails or courses arrive out of sequence and the room can feel small or loud for the price, and a minority note some dishes being overly salty or portions feeling light; overall the restaurant is considered a must try in Montreal, a Bib Gourmand spot with solid value and a compelling menu that invites returning to explore more of the offerings.
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.
Incredible restaurant! The food was fantastic, fresh, light & beautifully plated. The staff were really friendly & knowledgeable about their menu/wines. To top it off the ambience was great!

Quelle belle découverte! On est tombé sur cette merveille un jeudi soir. La présentation, les saveurs, la fraîcheur des ingrédients, les plats soigneusement montés & les recommandations du serveur, tout a été agréable. Mets préférés de la soirée: Homard servi sur champignons, haricots & sa sauce bisque; Chou au ricotta & café avec orange confite.
La nourriture était délicieuse, le vin excellent & l'endroit magnifique.
Merci Amélie d'avoir fait de notre anniversaire & notre première visite une soirée encore plus spéciale!
Tout simplement parfait depuis l'accueil, le conseil des vins, le délicieux des plats, la qualité des ingrédients, le design de la salle, la chaleur & tranquillité de l'équipe. Une perfection rare.
Bravo aux jeunes propriétaires.

The food was good but the overall experience was disappointing. The chairs are so uncomfortable I left with back pain. The smell in my hair & jacket after dinner was unbearable. The water wasn't great, the bread ($8) wasn't worth it & the portions were quite small for the price. The food itself was tasty but a bit too salty. Overall, great cooking, but not worth the discomfort or the price, the space is very small & extremely loud & the tables are tiny, barely enough space for the plates. Everyone ends up eating off the little bread plates because the main dishes don't fit. It feels ridiculous to be eating like that.
It's presented as'sharing style,' but it just turns into everyone crowding around small plates.
It's unreasonable for a Michelin-guided spot. Cloché Penché in Quebec City is in another league, sky & earth difference compared to Casavan.
Third time at Casavant & I have to say it's probably my favourite restaurant in Montreal right now. The food & service were incredible, not one negative thing to say about the experience.
We got the bread, beet salad, fish & bavette & finished it off with the chocolate mousse. Not one miss, everything was delicious & a must.
Utterly outstanding neighborhood restaurant. We had a perfect evening, made so special by our wonderful waitress who explained everything in the menu with passion & helped us make some great choices. This restaurant really cares about everything it does & the small details make for an incredible overall experience.
Des nouveaux restos qui créent une hype & qui sont la saveur du mois y'en a plusieurs… Casavant c'est tout le contraire. C'est intemporel. C'est savoureux. Le service est impeccable. L'ambiance, la musique & le confort sont au rendez-vous. Tout y est. Ajoutez à ça un menu varié & des portions généreuses & vous avez une formule gagnante qui permet de traverser les années & garder une fidèle clientèle. Déjà hâte de revenir!!

Casavant is one of the most beautiful restaurants tucked away in the neighborhood. I really enjoyed the clams casino & the halibut w/ mushrooms, beans & fresh herbs. The wine selections were pretty good. If you're solo or with a friend, I recommend a seat at the bar. The bar back is gorgeous & you can watch the action in the tiny kitchen. The bartender was very friendly & offered recommendations based on my Pescatarian diet & love of wine.
Excellent service de A à Z, on s'entend bien parler, vraiment une perle dans le quartier!! Les pétoncles fondent direct dans la bouche & sans parler du filet de bar qui explosait de saveurs! Définitivement une de mes meilleurs expériences à Montréal!

This was a great dining experience. Looks like a cozy neighborhood spot, I wish I lived closer. We ordered the whole menu & honestly it was some of my favorite food I've had this year. Highly recommend.
This place was absolutely amazing! Everything was beyond perfect. If we visit Montreal again, we will definitely come back & try different dishes here. The service was excellent I wish I had asked the name of the person who took care of us, but we truly thank them! My only wish is that you keep striving for even better, although I don't think it could get any better than this 😊 Wishing you continued success!
We enjoyed our dinner here last night. We had a late dinner reservation & was very satisfied. Our server was attentive. The restaurant only had French menu & he described each dish in English lol. We ordered the steak tartare, scallops, sea bass & hanger steak. We didn't get dessert as we had some waiting for us at home. Also ordered wine & cocktails which was delicious.
