We had such an amazing experience at Louise! Amazing food & drinks, & such friendly service. It has skyrocketed to one of our favourite dining experiences of recent times. The menu is incredibly varied with the dishes taking inspiration from many different countries, but all executed really well!

The cocktails were really good, & the wine list was super interesting.

Highly recommend a visit!

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.
