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!!

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 .

Everything was SUPERB. From the service, to the unique wine list & the food was out of this world. Each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. I liked that there's vegan, vegetarian & pescatarian friendly options. If you're thinking of going this is your sign.
