Highly recommend you will not be disappointed. We spent the weekend in mtl from Toronto & ended up there 2 nights out of the 3. Once for dinner & once to finish off our night with drinks because the vibe was just so good & all the staff was so friendly. The food was outstanding & drinks were on point.

Tourist trap.

Absurd & misleading experience. The food is cafeteria level. The pretentious, fancy BS dished out by the overbearing waiters isn't able to conceal the fact that the plates you'll end up with are an insult to taste, intelligence & your pocketbook. Rarely have I been so angered by what amounts to being scammed.

If you know the original versions of the dishes they pretend to make, you'll feel the owners of this place are either clueless or cynically believe you are.

This is apparently designed as a trap for those American tourists whose culinary culture is un-developed & who will swallow the whole charade, feeling validated by having paid more for their meal than they did for their hotel room.

Avoid if you have a modicum of self-esteem.

Merci beaucoup! What a fantastic experience. I ordered the chef's choice & was not disappointed from appetizers to dessert, every single bite was absolutely delicious. The bartender, a young woman, was both professional & impressively knowledgeable about wine & cocktails. The service, ambiance & music top notch. Highly recommended if you only have time for one restaurant in Montreal, make it this one!

Had an outstanding dinner here with my husband & a friend visiting from LA. The venue is warm, cozy, & intimate. The host/ maitre'd, Nicholas gave us a warm welcome, shook our hands, & promptly seated us to a lovely seat in the front. The waiter was exceptional- professional, prompt, & attentive. The food is superb & the drinks were great! This place is a MUST!!!
