Soirée d'anniversaire pour un ami, ce fût un succès. Ambiance agréable, personnel sympathique & nourriture de qualité. Amateur de fruits de mer, je vous conseil le risotto. Merci à l'équipe.

Was able to snag a booking for New Year's Eve at this restaurant. Located in a beautiful part of Montreal. Service was perfect & so was the meal. I had the rack of lamb & my friend had the salmon. Both plates were pretty much licked clean. Also recommend the tiramisu for dessert.

Had the most incredible meal & service on our recent visit here! An absolutely beautiful meal, accompanied by 5* service. They really took care of us & made us feel at home. Eating out with a 6yr old is not always that easy, but will definitely come back again soon. Started off the meal with a cocktail & starter platter of various Appetizers. All were fantastic but the lambchops & shrimp were outstanding. Followed by some pastas, gnocchi & branzino cooked to perfection. Don't skip the tiramisu for dessert, some of the best I've ever had. My son opted for the lemon granita & loved it. Can't wait to visit again!

Amazing experience at Da Vinci! I made a reservation for a party of 9 for a birthday dinner & we were all pleased with the food & service. Chic ambiance with exquisite dishes. Our waiter Carlo gave us excellent service. Will definitely be back!

Arrived in Montreal late evening, it was the only restaurant that was open. & luckily for me. I got to sit at the bar & have a delicious charcuterie board & salad. A delicious piece of lamb included on the board. Define cuts of dried meats & olives in cheeses.. I was so full. I took the salad home & it was delicious the next day for lunch.
The staff is very professional, especially the girl bartender behind the bar. She made me feel very welcomed.
Highly recommend.

We had reservations for a Friday night & we arrived 15 minutes early & were seated immediately. Our waiter was phenomenal! I had a tough time deciding between two dishes & he split them in 2 so I could try both. Besides the amazing service, the food was amazing! We had the burrata appetizer which was incredibly smooth. The mushroom ravioli was hands down the favorite dish which was quickly eaten. The lamb cavatelli dish was also delicious but it couldn't compete with the richness of the truffle & mushroom. I highly recommend Da Vinci!

We just spent the weekend in Montreal. Four different restaurants. This is head & shoulders the best restaurant we experienced. It is by any measure exceptional, in every way. The lamb was exquisite. The shrimp cocktail delicious & the cod was truly remarkable. Great service all around in a warm & welcoming setting. Exceptional. We will be back.

This restaurant has become one of my favorites, the food quality & service is top notch.
We were a large group & everyone was extremely satisfied.
Appetizers were all good, the veal Carpaccio was tender & tasty, the caprice with mozzarella Di Bufala was the freshest I’ve ever tasted.
Main courses also received rave reviews from everyone. The veal ossobuco with risotto was amazing, roasted veal, grilled lamb chops, seafood linguini, shrimp & crab dish all received top honors from our friends.
The service was beyond reproach, our waiter “Carlo” was always available & made some amazing recommendations on both food & wine. Rarely do you see service this good, he must have years of experience & it really shows in the confident matter exhibited.
Decor could use an update, but still very nice & classically decorated, has not changed in many years.
Price wise, it is expensive, with wine tip & tax, approx $250 per couple, but well worth it for this level of food quality & service.
I would highly recommend it.
