La gaspacho était rafraîchissante, les moules dodues, les frites croustillantes. Service excellent comme d'habitude, les serviette en tissu bien utiles ainsi que les rince-doigts.

Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal.

Had a great time eating here while on a work trip! The food was lovely & so were the servers. A huge thank you to Shadé who helped me practice my French. It was nice getting to talk to another WNBA fan! The owner was super nice too!!

Trop souvent on oublie de laisser des commentaires positifs. If you're not from Montreal you need to understand your stepping into an institution. 50 years of great food. Honest prices, solid classic menu, great service, fantastic terrace. Passionate owner. You can ask for more just try it you'll love it.

On se serait cru sur les Champs Elysée. Le décors l'atmosphère, la nourriture…on a adoré. Un merci tout particulier au personnel qui nous a traité aux petits oignons.

Un serveur qui ne connaît pas sa carte & qui manque de dynamisme, ça peut encore passer. En revanche, servir des pâtes au homard avec à peine l'équivalent d'une pince de homard, ce n'est pas acceptable.
J'ai signalé le problème dès l'arrivée de mon plat, mais il n'y a eu aucune réaction ni aucun geste commercial. C'est très décevant, surtout au vu du prix demandé. Je ne reviendrai pas.
