Un lieu tout simplement exceptionnel. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & raffinée, le personnel est attentionné, professionnel & d'une grande gentillesse, & chaque plat est préparé avec passion & un véritable savoir-faire. Tout est réuni pour offrir une expérience inoubliable. Sans aucune hésitation, c'est le meilleur restaurant que j'aie eu le plaisir de découvrir. Je le recommande les yeux fermés !

Excellent spot for dinner in Montreal. Made even more special with a complimentary glass of champagne for my retirement! Sit toward the front to people watch while you enjoy your food.

Le risotto aux fruits de mer est un incontournable! Frais & goûteux. L'acceuil était génial & Alain, le sympathique propriétaire ne manque pas de saluer la clientèle au passage

Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt!.

We were a three generation group, so I didn't downrate the service for being slow, but it could have been faster. I'll ask for that going in next time. In all, it was a great experience, for all the generations. I have been coming here for as long as Alexandre has been open, & it doesn't disappoint. The terrace on Peel is a lovely atmosphere at lunch. I don't invite people at night, though, because the cigar smoke can be overpowering, if the wind is blowing it in.
