I love getting a bar seat to be served by Chloe, she's a gem 🌟 The truffle pasta & the caesar salad are perfect, def one of my favorite cozy spots in mtl
This was a really good restaurant. We tried the late night tasting menu & got the mushroom velouté (soup), smash burger & truffle pasta. The truffle pasta was the highlight of the meal really creamy & you could really taste the truffle. The smash burger was also good but I would say the bechamel fries were really good as well. The velouté was also really good & a great starter, personally it looked tastier than the chicken liver. Overall this is a great place for a date & the place is cozy & nice. The 25$ tasting menu is absolutely worth it
Overrated for the price. The portions were small & over priced. We left hungry & the flavours weren't great. Again, for the price we were hoping for more. For example, the pasta is $30 for such a small amount. We were fine with having a 2 hour time limit but the food took a while to come out & then we got dessert but they forgot about the sparkler for my friends birthday so they had to come out with a piece of bread with a sparkler in it. Then before we were done eating they told us our time was up & we had to leave. It just felt rushed & disingenuous as an experience.
* Cute little place, great vibe. * Service is super-friendly, but somewhat chaotic & disorganized. * Food is a hit or miss: Some dishes superb (the braised beef was heavenly), & some very mediocre & subpar (the Foie Gras pasta was starchy & hugely undercooked, the Crêpes Suzette was crude & drenched in Cointreau).
This place is overrated. We went there for the 3 courses for 25$ & the food portions were not only very small, but it was also very mid. We were excited about the truffle spaghetti & honestly the pasta tasted like the buldack carbonara one. It tasted cheap & not worth the price. It's a very small place, very crowded but it has a charm, sadly not as amazing as it was advertised on TikTok. :( I'm glad we had the chicken liver. It saved the night.
We ordered one of their most famous dishes which is the truffle cream pasta. The dish was flavorful & well-prepared, but the portion size was rather small, especially given the higher price point. On the bright side, the service was pleasant & attentive. Additionally, their cocktails were a highlight-there were plenty of options, & the ones we tried were excellent. ( Europe trip) Overall, it's a good spot for a flavorful meal & great drinks, though a bit on the expensive side for the portions served.
Atmosphere is great. Service is good. Order of chicken mouse, pasta, oysters, Food review: Late night menu, Yo not gonna lie that truffle pasta had a certain acidity that brought me back to a flavour of p*****. Not bad p***** right. Acidity over all plates got us bad, the apple sauce & pasta. P* taste. Fuggazi beer was nice. Pomegranate wine, I'd chose something else. Bad luck?
Better than Bouillon Bilk, at least in my opinion. This place scored higher on both quality & value. The foie gras was generous & delicious, the truffle pasta could easily compete with what you'd find in the markets of Florence, & the scallop risotto was spot on. The staff provided exceptional service. Thanks Sara!
