Interesting menu, everything we tried was really nicely presented & tasty. The tartare with smoked mackerel was simply delicious. Nice wine discovery too. 👍

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.

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.

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.

Incredible experience from start to finish! Made a reservation for 8:30 on Saturday (28/06) & was lucky to seat on a perfect table facing their beautiful window! The restaurant was full but it wasn't noisy at all, the decoration, the cutlery & dishware were all so pretty. Besides that the lighting was great, cozy without being too dark.
Every single dish was a hit! The ail des bois butter was fantastic, the oysters so fresh & briny, the scallops with chorizo still haven't left my mind, & the morels stuffed w chicken liver & cooked in yellow wine was ridiculously good!
Our server was fantastic (I think his name was Sam), extremely attentive, & knowledgeable helping us choose the best sequence of services, making a great wine pairing & always making sure everything was going well, he definitely made our experience at the restaurant even better! I can't recommend casavant enough, I'll definitely be coming back :)

Excellent service, both friendly & efficient. I like their cool jellyfish looking light fixture but I wish they had them throughout. Nice decor overall.
Great wine recommendation, Coretto was a lovely espresso-based cocktail.
Oysters were 3 & 3. The fleshy ones were delicious, but the smaller ones were tasteless. Loved the mignonette, wasn't the typical one.
Terrine special was good, but poorly presented. Loved how spicy the mustard was, & the apricot was nice as well.
Scallops were nice, but was expecting more than what amounted to chorizo powder, bits would have worked better I think.
Lamb saddle was delicious & full flavour but a bit too salty.
Chou was delicious but would be better if the crust was slightly crispier.

We spent Saturday night at Casavant & had an amazing time! Our server, Claire, paired both of our meals with the best wine we had all weekend in Montreal. She thoroughly explained why she chose both the red & white, & gave us phenomenal recommendations for menu items as well. We loved the snow crab tarte & hanger steak. She was just as lovely as the food! It's no surprise this restaurant made the top 100 list in Canada! We'll never forget it!

I recently visited CASAVANT in Montreal, & it was an absolutely delightful experience! The food was phenomenal-each dish was bursting with flavor & prepared with such care. From the beautifully presented plates to the rich & perfectly balanced flavors, every bite was a treat. The wine selection was also impressive, & the pairing elevated the meal even further. What truly stood out, though, was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, warm, & genuinely made us feel welcome. They went above & beyond to ensure we had an amazing dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy yet sophisticated, with a vibe that's perfect for both intimate dinners & special occasions. CASAVANT is definitely a gem in Montreal, & I can't wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional food & service!

Went for a birthday dinner. Surprisingly not that busy for a Sunday evening in autumn, but we did get there quite early. Drinks are excellent. Creative cocktails, but also a nice wine list. Nice vibes, good windows, warm decor, good tunes, etc etc. Food was delicious. A bit on the more "classic" French-inspired side for a tasting plate menu place like this in Montreal, but that can be refreshing (&, honestly, why fix what's not broken?). Partner (alone) had a duck plate that was advertised as being for multiple people & it certainly was sufficiently sized, but not overwhelmingly so. Also split several of the small plates, including a leek tart which was amazing. Vegetarian options were a bit lacking when we went - only one available, unless you distort the definition of vegetarian to mean including anchovies - but menu is seasonal & seems to be more veggie-friendly depending on the week. Overall, would go back in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

Service? Good. But the wine & food? Let's just say they're not winning any awards. Everything was... fine. Nothing bad, but nothing worth raving about either.

A great experience all around. Casavant filled the void left by La Récolte with its fantastic market cuisine menu & its great selection of wines. Knowing what that space looked like before, you have to appreciate its gorgeous transformation. Casavant is located on Villeray's pedestrian street (Castelnau), so it also adds a healthy vibe to the neighbourhood. Beyond the delicious food, the service was efficient & the staff were kind & accommodating.
