CRU offers a refined dining experience with consistently excellent seafood, where the oysters are a standout and the tartare and yellowfin tuna sashimi frequently earn high praise. Dishes are described as beautifully plated and flavorful, from the octopus and sea bass to other fresh seafood options, with generous portions that often leave little room for dessert. Service is generally attentive and welcoming, with a thoughtfully curated wine program that complements the menu. The atmosphere can range from warm and intimate to lively and bustling, and some guests note that the terrace seating can be a bit wobbly while others enjoy the ambiance for a special night. A few visits highlight occasional inconsistencies in timing or execution and occasional lapses such as oysters not being perfectly fresh or gaps in service, yet these are typically outweighed by the quality and presentation of the dishes. Overall CRU is widely regarded as a top choice for a memorable seafood-focused dinner, offering flavorful plates, strong wine pairings, and an experience that many reviewers say they would return for.

5.0

CRU offers a refined dining experience that's nothing short of exquisite. The food is consistently excellent-creative, beautifully plated, & bursting with flavor, making each dish feel like a celebration of culinary craftsmanship. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated & perfectly matched to the menu, enhancing the experience without overshadowing it. While the prices are undeniably high, they reflect the quality & attention to detail that define the evening. It's a place for indulgence, where every bite & sip feels deliberate & delicious.

Both times we went we felt like the place opened yesterday & they didn't know what they were doing - both in terms of service & food prep. Salmon tartare with lots of feta cheese? Fried calamari with no dipping sauce? The waitress was so confused, she poured half the portion of a wine glass for me compared to my partner (we ordered 2 glasses of same wine). If it wasn't so expensive, we would probably laugh it off.

Everything about this place is just perfect. From the quality of the food to the ambiance, the service, the wine selection, the decor. Definitely a hidden gem outside of Montreal.

Impeccable service & delicious food. From the wine & food suggestions to the flexibility in sharing plates to the friendly & cozy atmosphere, I can say we had a lovely evening & will be back!

Oysters were amazing, as were the bucatini with mushroom sauce & duck magret. The wine selection is excellent, & our server was super nice.
