Super belle découverte!
Ambiance chaleureuse & vraiment cozy, parfaite pour une soirée détendue entre amis ou en solo.
Le menu des drinks est varié, avec beaucoup d'options originales, mention spéciale à la bière maison d'Elses que j'ai tout simplement adorée!

Nous avons aussi goûté aux dumplings… délicieux.
La musique est très agréable & pas trop forte, ce qui permet vraiment d'échanger & de profiter du moment sans avoir à parler fort.

En bref, une expérience très agréable, tant pour le lieu que pour ce qu'on y mange & boit. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!

Busy place with good food & drinks

Atmosphere perfect. Drinks delicious. Food was delicious but a little confusing. Had the salad & there was lots of competing flavours. I also noticed my friends side salad had dressing poured on it instead of mixed in. I think chefs often forget how challenging it is to mix the dressing into the salad on an already small plate.

Otherwise definitely worth a visit & revisit.

Came here with a few friends to have a drink. When I came at 930pm it was packed which is understandable. However, it's not reasonable for the staff to take 7 minutes to understand you are standing there at the door waiting to ask for table time. We ended up being put at the bar which was fine. Ordered a few beers & realized what I was given I've seen at the SAQ sold for $3 a can & sold for 10$ at the bar.

Beautifully decorated bar & good vibes. Drinks were good but the Mac & Cheese was very mediocre. It was more like macaroni with melted cheese on top but no actual Mac&Cheese sauce... October 2024 edit: Mac & cheese with pulled pork was excellent! Creamy & cheesy! Amazing vibes as per usual.

This place is as mystical from the outside as it is on the inside. The decor really sets this place apart. The food was good & reasonably priced, but the taste/quantity could be better. Drinks were excellent.
