Located in an quiet old industrial building in St. Henri district, Estelle has the combination of ambiance, service & excellent cuisine one looks for in a special evening to enjoy with a partner, friends or family. The decor is inline with the most current style...a mix of exposed brick, light wood colors, dark wood accepts, soft yellow lighting & some greenery. As the restaurant fills up it can also get a little noisy but not overwhelmingly so, giving the place a feeling that it is happening. The cuisine is modern Italian & of very high quality but with pricing to match...expect to easily pay over $100 per person including wine or a cocktail. For our meal with friends we enjoyed Salmon Milanese (interesting but good...more like a sushi maki roll style), Roquette Salad (very good with a nice dressing), Bolognese Stuffed Agnolotti (excellent), Wild Mushroom Parpadelle (also excellent) & ending with the Semifreddo (good but not at the same level as the main meal). Service is excellent with a special call out to Daniel who was not just very friendly & personable but knowledgeable as well. Even as a high quality resto the food was served promptly yet we never felt rushed. Recommended as a nice place to enjoy as a couple or with a small group of friends. Enjoy!

Nice modern place with a good ambiance. Food is decent & not cheap, price wise. It could improve though. Good wine list for both, white & red. Sommelier lost case. They have a pretty big parking lot, yet there is a valet which is a nice touch. Although, should always be to the discretion of the customer if he/she wants to park their own car & not be obliged to hand keys to the valet. Music is at the right level. Good cocktails as well. Verdict : give it a try.
