Les avis convergent sur une cuisine remarquable et inventive servie avec soin, où des plats comme les pétoncles, le tartare de boeuf, l'onglet, le bar et les pâtes au homard sont souvent salués pour leur finesse et leur équilibre, accompagnés d'une carte des vins bien adaptée et de conseils avisés pour les accords mets et vins; l'ambiance est chaleureuse et intime avec un décor soigné et un espace qui peut toutefois devenir bruyant et des chaises parfois inconfortables lorsque la salle est pleine; le service est globalement excellent mais peut varier selon les expériences, allant de l'attention personnalisée et efficace à des moments d'inégalité ou de rythme lorsque le service n'est pas parfaitement synchronisé avec les plats; le rapport qualité-prix est jugé très favorable par certains et plus discutable par d'autres, certains regrettant des portions plus petites ou des plats un peu trop salés; malgré ces nuances, Casavant est décrit comme une adresse de quartier intemporelle et mémorable, idéale pour des sorties entre amis ou en amoureux, avec des plats à partager et une expérience gustative qui donne envie de revenir.
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.

The food went from very good to truly excellent. However, the pace of the service was way off.
Our appetizers arrived before the cocktails. Given the evident care & effort that went into preparing such outstanding dishes, it would have been more appropriate & more profitable for the restaurant to allow us to enjoy our drinks first & then pair the food with the corresponding wine.
Serving the dishes without regard to timing felt careless. It does a disservice to the people who put so much thought into the cooking & is frustrating for those paying to fully experience it as intended.
Favorite restaurant experience in Montreal during my most recent visit. Absolutely incredible meal from start to finish!! Delicious, creative dishes that were executed with the highest craft. Friendly & attentive staff that were helpful in wine & meal pairings. Couldn't recommend more!
A restaurant worth returning to. Menu is focused but compelling & it takes constraint, when dining for two, to select 4-5 dishes to share because all are appealing. Every bite was perfectly balanced & pleasantly rich - with clear care in both conception & execution. The kitchen should be proud. Service was friendly & relaxed, perfectly matched to the space. As a visitor, this is exactly the type of restaurant I wish I had in my home city.
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.
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!

Casavant earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand & I can see why. The poultry mousse stuffed morels are the kind of dish an inspector would notice & the tender hangar steak with whelks & fiddleheads was an utter delight, if a bit small as a portion size.
Special mention for Casavant's divine twist on the classic profiterole, replacing the cream with rhubarb & ricotta.
Slight hiccup with the paccheri neri (tube-shaped pasta made with black squid ink) served with lobster, pea leaves, & tomato bisque. The bisque needed something, maybe more garlic or seasoning to elevate the dish to where it belongs.
Bib Gourmands are awarded to restaurants that offer what's deemed as good value, & $135 for 2 before drinks, tax, & tip is not too shabby for elevated brasserie appetizers, main dishes, & a shared dessert featuring sought-after in-season ingredients.
Nice wine list too. They even have piquette.
Dress up a little if you want, but not too much. Service is elegant, warm, friendly.
Went for lunch. Beautiful day, all the windows taken down for an inside/outside feel. Food was delicious. Great local ingredients. Servers well versed in the wines & dishes. It all added up to a nice atmosphere & quintessential Montreal experience in a restaurant that cares about what they're doing. A neighborhood gem.
It is rarely a good sign that a restaurant charges for bread, but you'd get away with it if you serve fresh bread at extra charge. Mine was stale & looked small compared to the bread other people got...
I thought their fish was mediocre. The steak, on the other hand, was top notch. The other dishes were ok. Dessert was a complete miss.
I recently dined at Casavant & had a superb experience. The food was exceptional, with a wonderful diversity of flavors that delighted my palate. The group menu option was a highlight, allowing our group to share & enjoy a variety of dishes. The attention to detail in both taste & presentation was evident. Overall, a delightful dining experience . I highly recommend Casavant !

Was pretty excited to get a chance to try out the food at this restaurant after seeing some posts all over my feed. Overall the food & service was great throughout the night & atmosphere was alright as well.
We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance on Mother's Day. & was politely greeted to our seats when we arrived.
When it came to the food, we really wanted to try out all the dishes, so we ordered & shared the dishes. When it came to the entrees we ordered the side of bread with the garlic spread, we also had the oysters, the salad (SALADE D'ENDIVES POIRE & BLEU, JUS DE VOLAILLE & MIEL) & the scallops (PÉTONCLES FRAIS, CHORIZO DE PASCAL). We really enjoyed the salad (SALADE D'ENDIVES POIRE & BLEU, JUS DE VOLAILLE & MIEL) & scallop (PÉTONCLES FRAIS, CHORIZO DE PASCAL) dishes & definitely recommend getting those to share. As for the mains, we had the fish dish (bar a la grenobloise), pasta (SPAGHETTI PESTO RAPINIS ANCHOIS & MOULES FUMÉES), the sausage dishes (SAUCISSE PURÉE CASAVANT) & the (ONGLET DE BOEUF SAUCE AU POIVRE TOPINAMBOURS & MAITAKE). Among the main dishes, the standouts were the fish & the pasta dishes. We felt the meat dishes were a bit underwhelming.
As for the service, we found it to be very attentive throughout the evening, & the waiting staff answered any questions we had about the menu, & constantly checked up on us to see if the food was to our liking. We also appreciated that they accommodated the service to English. Overall the service was excellent.
When it came to the overall atmosphere, it was alright, nothing amazing. We enjoy the overall location of the restaurant but I'm sure it is much better when the terrace is open during the summer. We just found the seating a bit cramped other than that the interior of the restaurant is nice.
Food: A+, Wine: A++, Service: A+, Style: A+. Great restaurant. I sat at the bar as a single, let the staff choose dishes & wines & they know their stuff! The kitchen was quick & on point. Everything has great balance & some very unique flavours! Would dine again ... & again ....... & again.
great experience! dishes are well plated, delicious & very decently priced for the quality. interior & atmosphere are also excellent. got the carbonara, leek tart, beer & bread for under $100 & it was the perfect amount for two.
