Review Summary

Denise is described as a small, cozy gem with an inventive yet unpretentious menu and strong value in a warm, intimate setting. On busy nights the space can feel tight, but the bar seating and open kitchen contribute to a lively, neighborhood vibe. The tapas style menu invites sharing, with standouts like magret de canard, stracciatella, halibut crudo, burrata and a highly praised pork dish, complemented by a thoughtful wine list and crafted cocktails. Service is typically attentive and friendly, with staff who are knowledgeable about the dishes. While a few plates may miss the mark or portions feel small, the overall experience emphasizes flavor, creativity and hospitality. Many reviews frame Denise as a go to spot for repeat visits and celebrations, a beloved local favorite that keeps guests coming back.

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

Always an amazing experience at Denise. Inventive yet unpretentious menu, in a beautiful cozy space. Our server was down to earth & really knowledgable, the food was paced perfectly, the wine selection & cocktails are awesome. Denise never misses!!

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.
