Review Summary

Denise is widely celebrated as an intimate, vibrant neighborhood gem in Montreal, known for its creative, shareable plates that blend diverse culinary influences with seasonal ingredients. Patrons consistently praise the exceptional quality of the food and the inventive, high-quality cocktail and wine programs, frequently highlighting dishes like the stracciatella and various pork preparations as standouts. While the atmosphere is described as cozy, convivial, and stylish, the restaurant has a small footprint that can feel tight or warm during peak hours. The service is frequently noted as warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, often featuring the chef-owners themselves, which contributes to a welcoming and unique dining experience that keeps guests returning.

Unusually incredible cocktails here - they have a washed mezcal bee pollen in a lowball that is literally the best original cocktail I've ever had in my life. I'm a Negroni, Vesper, Manhattan classics kind of guy, & usually regret it when I have something show offy & unusual but we ended up sampling multiple of Felicity's cocktails & our minds were kind of blown. Food was great too (snow crab bao buns with squid ink mayo was awesome!) but don't sleep on their cocktail game here! New fave spot!

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
