5.0

This is definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in Montreal. The service, atmosphere, setting & the FOOD are just PERFECT. The portions are pretty generous so maybe consider sharing especially if you want to have starters & leave room for dessert. My highlight was the baklava stuffed with pistachio ice cream! MUST TRY!

We had the standard tasting menu. The best imo are the seafood dishes -seabass & fish cake. They had nice texture & good natural flavors. If I had to go back, I would solely order the seafood. The rest of the menu, while loaded with variety, wasn't very memorable. For example, the yogurt marinated chicken lacked punch & the lamb, while good, can be found at tons of restaurants. I also don't find the sauces complement the main elements. That being said, it was still fun to try out the sheer variety of quality offerings. I just won't be considering the tasting menu ever again.

Very heavy fine dining & expensive. However, this place has the best food. My expectations climb up with price & this place charges a price & actually deliver on it. Many fine dining restaurants fail to meet expectations as they just cant match their prices but try to hard with atmosphere. This place however does both properly. Took my girlfriend here on an anniversary & would say for sure that this place is up there to the best restaurants. Very expensive tho.

The food is really tasty, service was fantastic, cocktails were wonderful. We had a lot of fun! But, it's a little overpriced.
