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.
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.
The service is really good, the atmosphere & overall vibe of the restaurant is good, but so loud. The wine is great. But the food was some of the worst we have had... not enough seasoning on the tartare, pasta was inedible & the fish was so unbalanced if you didn't take a good bite it tasted off. The clams were so awful that if that was your first time trying them you'd never eat one again. & the timing was so off. We waited over 1 hour for the fish dish. Truly disappointing food at that price range. Unfortunately. Come for the wine, friendly & kind service, & for a good atmosphere but skip the food.

A cute wine bar serving serious food. Do not let the trendy appearance fool you, there is some high caliber, creative cooking happening here. Everything we ordered was a dish we'd heard of before, done with a slight twist, & to perfection. Best beef tartare we've ever had. The service was amazing, & the wine recommendations were spot on.
Delicious food to share with friends at a beautifully designed space - good taste all around! Service is fantastic, cocktails & wine 10/10. Could not recommend more!
