Vraiment un super repas ici. On s'est régalés du début à la fin. Le hummus, le canard, le crudo, les champignons, les baos pis le gâteau au fromage, tout était incroyable. J'ai adoré l'ambiance de la place. C'est certain que je reviens la prochaine fois que je passe à Montréal.

Really nice meal here. Everything we had was so good. Hummus, duck, crudo, mushrooms, the bao, & cheesecake all amazing. Loved the vibe. I would definitely come back on my next trip to Montréal.

Really great intimate spot, local vibe, food is 11/10. Most of the seating is at the bar (which I love). Service is excellent. Cannot recommend enough. Will be returning many times into the future. Please don't tell anyone about this place. Let's keep it between us, ok? Merci.

I came here a little while ago for my birthday & it was a perfect experience! Small, intimate environment (most of the seating is at the bar with just two or so tables) & a super convivial vibe. The food was SO GOOD. The plates are shareable & have unique flavour profiles that meld very well together. The cocktails are also impeccable. Will be thinking of that stracciatella forever… 10000% recommend, definitely a little gem

My sister brought me there for the first time this last summer for my birthday, & I fell in love with the place. Food, wine, cocktails, service & vibe all made me feel really good. Really, there was just nothing about my night that kind of felt off : I enjoyed all of it!

I highly suggest you be careful going there though : it feels like you're entering into another dimension where all your concerns -& good resolutions- are quickly forgotten. Be advised!

Wow!! Drove by this little spot one night .. said to myself this looks like it could be good . & Wow! Was I right ! 10/10! Little 25 seater .. sat at the bar . Service, food & drinks were 10/10! Owners / chefs were very friendly & passionate about their food.
Bartender/ waitress ( Stella) very nice & recommended amazing dishes . I'm on a no alcohol vibe now so they had some cool options! My wife tried some cocktails & wine & she loved it ! Will 100% go back !
Also very well priced ! We had 5 dishes, 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine , 2 non alcoholic beers. 150$ before tip & tax .

You might walk in & think, what is this place. But I assure you, it is a well kept secret. From a cool vibe to an expertly crafter service, genuine & cool & nice to a cuisine that is not afraid to surprise you, everything in this place is perfection. & it will make you want to come back again & again.

Went there for the bao buns & matcha pop up, drinks were amazing & so was the food ! Super flavorful & unique. Service was as fast as can be during a pop up, limited seating but we really enjoyed the vibe.
