Casavant recueille de nombreuses éloges pour une cuisine délicieuse et inventive, une ambiance raffinée et chaleureuse et un service attentif et compétent. Les convives soulignent des plats comme les pétoncles, le tartare de boeuf, le bar et l'onglet, ainsi qu'une belle carte des vins qui en fait une adresse incontournable à Montréal. Le service est souvent irréprochable et les recommandations de vins appréciées, avec des touches attentionnées qui renforcent l'expérience. Certaines critiques portent toutefois sur le tempo du service, le confort des chaises ou le bruit, et quelques plats peuvent être trop salés ou les portions paraissent modestes par rapport au prix. Dans l'ensemble, Casavant est perçu comme intemporel et exceptionnel, offrant une expérience gastronomique et humaine marquante.
Visited with my mom, absolutely great. Had booking for 9:30, got there at 9, they sat us no problem. Presentation beautiful, server knowledgeable, interactive, & picked some excellent wines by the glass for us. Offered half-glasses when she felt each dish needed something different. Scallops crudo absolutely outstanding. Almost ordered a second serving instead of dessert. Thanks for the great experience.
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.

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.
Nice Little resto. Best scallops I've ever had. Tasting menu at 75$ is a very good way to discover the restaurant if it's your first time. They also had a dinner reasonably priced wines, within context. I can't wait to go back.
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!

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

Amazing restaurant! The food is incredible, delicious & original. There's a beautiful atmosphere & the service is warm & attentive. The wine list is extensive, I've discovered really good wines there. A must in Montreal!
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!
