Stop scrolling through reviews & just make the reservation. This spot nails the balance between cozy & elevated. The atmosphere is warm & homey, yet stylish & full of character. It's vibey in the best way, with great music that adds to the experience without overpowering it.

I lucked out with a last-minute reservation & grabbed a solo seat at the bar. The staff were exceptional, welcoming, attentive, & happy to strike up a conversation. I opted for the tasting menu, & it was flawless from start to finish. Every dish was thoughtful & beautifully presented.

One standout was the seafood tower course - I'll be dreaming about it until I can come back.

I will recommend to anyone visiting Montreal & I'll 100% be returning.

Excellent souper au bar alors que j'étais seul. Le barman était sympathique & la nourriture exceptionnelle. J'ai opté pour le menu du chef & j'ai eu plus de services que ce que je pouvais manger. Mais comme ils étaient tous délicieux, je les ai tous mangé :-). Le restaurant n'est pas si facile à trouver si on n'a pas l'adresse exacte. Il est nommé dans le guide Michelin mais à mes yeux il aurait mérité une étoile.

Got a reservation at the bar, & had a couple drinks each & the'one step up' meal. Everything was fantastic - the bartender was funny & handsome & the food was all splendid. It's definitely a splurge, but it was a great value.

Fantastic experience! The music, atmosphere & service was awesome.
We were celebrating our anniversary & took seats at the bar, had a blast chatting with the bartender. The food was phenomenal. The Snow Crab is an absolute must try! Get your wallet out cause it'll be an expensive night but totally worth it. 💯

Came here looking for the scallops when the friendly host David told me they were out & I was so disappointed. Then the awesome bar chef Ema came to my rescue! I told her to order me a seafood dish & I got the québécois swordfish which totally blew me away! As a snobbish New Yorker, Mon Latin goer this little place stole my heart. I don't eat meat, but I said this bacon tasted good. Spoiler, it was not bacon!!! It was swordfish belly smoked to perfection! The whole dish had crunchiness & delicious caramelized root vegetables. Ema also made me a super yummy mocktail, which was not too sweet. I'll definitely came back & bring my family in here as well. I had the mushroom side as my appetizer & that did not disappoint either. Thank you. Merci beaucoup

We sat at the bar & had an incredible & memorable dining experience from start to finish. The space has a charming & welcoming feel that immediately puts you at ease. The menu is thoughtful & well-executed. The duck, in particular, was outstanding - complemented by the beets & bigarade sauce. Our server & bartender, Jihan, was attentive & personable, striking the perfect balance of care & professionalism. You can feel the intention behind every detail. So glad we came across this gem of a restaurant during our visit to Montreal!

Première fois au garde manger. J'avais des attentes très élevées. L'expérience a été de loin supérieur à mes attentes. Tout était parfait, service (Taylor,Loris & la barmaid) a été impeccable. Les recommandations de vin en fonction des plats, on point! Bravo au chef qui ont sorti des plats d'une qualité incontournable!! C'est un luxe qui doit se vivre au moins une fois dans sa vie. Chapeau à l'équipe & au restaurant, on y retournera assurément!!
