Small & lowkey restaurant with a rotating menu. Every dish we ordered was creative & delicious. Its small plates that you can share with seasonal ingredients. Our favourite dishes were the stracciatella, the broccolini & the beef salad. The flavours were unique & all the elements complimented each other. They also have a good drink selection. Service was also very friendly but food did come out slowly. Would definitely recommend to a foodie!

Would put 10 stars if I could. One of the best meals I've had in MTL in a long time. Everything translates to a good time: menu, service, wine selection… all top rate. Thanks to everyone, particularly Michel; friendly, professional, made sure we had a great time. HIGHLY recommend

This place is really a small gem in the neighborhood where you can come rediscover every time they change their menu once in a while. The selection of cocktails was great. I really loved their margarita of the moment that had a summer feeling to it. Strongly recommend booking in advance since it's quite small.

Nous avons bien apprécié le café Denise. Service, impeccable. Ambiance feutrée type bar avec des plats petite portion à partager. Tout ce qu'on a mangé était bon Le NY bourbon sour bien fait & les vins sélectionnées au verre était très bon & était très bien conseillé par la sommelière. Le menu change souvent. À 2 on à pris les 4 plats suivants: Focaccia maison Les acras de cervelles ( pas certain du nom sur le menu ) Le temaki Tartare de boeuf & la morue Bref: belle soirée, bonne ambiance & bon service.. je recommande.
