Endroit sombre, table partagé mais compagnons éloignées, donc on parle fort. Poulet ok, frites excellentes, sauce moyenne. Pas impressionnés par la salade à partager ni l'entrée'carpaccio'. Bel endroit.
Had a fantastic meal here. The music was charming, the ambience was cozy, the staff was lovely, & the food was amazing. Can't stop thinking about the cabbage….. so yummy.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively, & our server was both kind & patient throughout the meal. However, there was some confusion regarding the menu descriptions; I personally feel that including photos would be a helpful addition. I also struggled to find the beer list on the physical menu.
?While the food was generally excellent, the croutons on my salad were burnt, which unfortunately tainted the flavor. Beyond the meal, the communal seating was a drawback for me. As a taller person, being sat at a six-person table felt restrictive; I was pushed to the edge & felt like I was constantly elbowing my neighbor. While the tables were aesthetically pleasing, their size made it difficult to hear my partner over the proximity of other diners. It was a crowded experience that felt quite cramped.

This place is worth the visit! Every dish was incredible & our waiter, Simon, delivered impeccable service. I can't recommend it enough & will definitely be coming back
a passionate, joyful bunch! it transmits through the decor, the vibe, the food, the presence & attention of the staff...
we had the chicken, the crudo & the chou de savoie. the chicken was great & not fatty at all. clearly a high quality bird. the gravy was delicious & honestly could have eaten a whole dinner out of the coleslaw. the chou was 10/10. i personally didn't love the crudo. i thought the chips were overpowering & that it wasn't zesty'fresh'' enough (the flavour, not the fish) but my partner enjoyed it.
the restaurant was crowded, fully booked, & they sat us late, but were very attentive about it. offered us drinks & made sure we were alright as we waited.
I love this place so much. It feels like eating at your grandma's house-if your grandma were a five-star chef. They've got all the classic dishes but with fun, creative twists that make everything feel a little special.
The service is amazing too-the waitress was so sweet & welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I still think about that Neapolitan ice cream sometimes. Can't wait to go back!

Super belle soirée passée avec mes amis à deguster l'excellente cuisine de Chez Cécile. On a partagé tous les plats du menu!!! Un conseil : aventurez vous en dehors du traditionnel poulet rôti (qui est excellent d'ailleurs) pour découvrir des plats faits à la rôtissoire différents. & pour dessert : les beignets sont malades !!! 😍
Je ne comprends pas le hype autour de Chez Cécile.
J'y retrouvais un membre de ma famille que je n'avais pas vu depuis plusieurs années, donc on cherchait une soirée agréable & détendue. On s'installe au bar, on commence avec une bière… mais après à peine 15 minutes, on ressent déjà une pression pour commander à manger.
Le carpaccio était correct, sans plus. Le poulet & les frites étaient secs & franchement sans saveur.
Le plus décevant : on s'est fait dire qu'on devait quitter vers 20 h pour libérer nos places pour un autre service au bar. Ça a complètement coupé court à notre moment.
Franchement décevant. Avec toutes les excellentes options qu'on a maintenant à Montréal, on ne compte pas y retourner.
Jamais je ne retournerai à ce restaurant. Dès l'arrivée, on nous a indiqué qu'il fallait quitter à 20 h. Deux heures un vendredi soir, c'est très court. Si j'avais su, je n'y serais jamais allé.
À 20 h, on nous a montré la porte. Mon verre de vin n'était même pas terminé. En plus que la nourriture est ordinaire, il faut vraiment avoir du front pour traiter les clients de cette façon.

Quelle belle soirée chez Cecile !! Ambiance festive, service attentionné, courtois, impeccable! Le poulet & le plat de chou sont des must!!! Longue vie à Cecile !
Belle découverte. Plats succulents, le poisson en particulier, mais les beignes aussi. Tout tout tout empreint d'une grande finesse, avec de subtils ingrédients.
Bel équilibre de portions. On sort rassasiés, pas bourrés. Décor très attachant où on se sent chez soi, & surtout pas entassés. Simon notre serveur était dynamique, connaissant & toujours là au bon moment. Faites-vous plaisir & allez-y!
pour un souper en tête a tête un lundi soir. carpaccio de boeuf façon pastrami, un délice! le poulet rôti a partager , une belle expérience globale & un service de première classe. Pas eu de place pour le dessert même si les choix étaient très tentant.
Loved this!! Food was amazing! Highlights were the salade d'hiver, the beignets, & of course the poulet rôti. Everything was so delicious & so so homey. Staff is also exceptional!! Highly recommend:)
