Service déplorable. Réservation à 21h, nous n'avons été attablés qu'à 21h50 & la bouffe n'est arrivée qu'à 23h. Tout ça sans aucune explication ou excuses de la direction.

Once once you enter the restaurant you get greeted by the really sweetest host ever. The restaurant is really nicely done it's gorgeous & the stock is also super nice & very sweet. They always make sure that everything is OK. The food was really delicious. I had the cannelloni pasta while my aunt had the mushroom pasta. We also took appetizers like calamari & the raw tuna. The calamari is really good same as the raw tuna & I really love the touch of sweetness that was inside. I'm not really a fan of cake but as dessert I took the chocolate cake & it was the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a really nice time it's also kind of pricey, but the food makes up for it definitely will be coming back!

Montreal, & what a wonderful discovery! Everything we enjoyed was absolutely delicious, flavorful, & perfectly prepared.
We would love to have this experience with our daughter as well. We are already counting the days until we can be together again. Some places you just visit, while others you can't wait to return to.

Tried the new restaurant Celeste in Montreal & had a really fun night. The ambiance is beautiful & the food was very good.
We shared everything, which made it even more enjoyable. We started with amazingly fresh bread. We had the stracciatella salad with fig dressing, the cowgirl cut steak cooked perfectly, & crispy duck fat potatoes that were so good. Dessert was yummy, & we enjoyed a nice red wine from Puglia.
Overall, a really nice night out
