Complementing these offerings, the kitchen constructs structured salads using crisp greens and regional ingredients sourced from local vendors.

The service & food was excellent. the decor is nice. Unfortunately, my friend & i found the quality of the sound in the space very unpleasant. the server was kind enough to adjust the levels of the music & that improved the sound somewhat. But is suspect the sound system isn't adequately adapted for the space & it just results in a lot of dissonant sound bouncing around & people talking louder than necessary. I don't think i'd go back or recommend eating inside for that reason. If I go back it would definitely be the terrace only. Great food & concept though. Thanks

Belle petite place dans le quartier Villeray, terrasse agréable. Manque d'ambiance musicale (même pas forte, de la musique aurait été agréable!) alors qu'à l'intérieur, la musique était très (trop?!) forte.
Très bonne nourriture, mais petites portions!
Belles découvertes de drinks & de vin rosé pétillant!
Service TRÈS long, aucune compensation.

Très bon service! Personnel empressé & aimable. Par contre, mon plat de pâtes était décevant. Très riche, avec un goût de fine herbe très très envahissant. Nous avions présumé que c'était de l'aneth, mais le cuisinier ns a informés qu'il n'avait mis que du persil! Bizarre, voire impossible! Qu'était-ce?
