The rare popular restaurant that combines incredibly delicious food with impeccable hospitality that was the most wonderfully accommodating. A member of our 6-person party surprised us by bringing 2 additional people along, & the team didn't make us feel uncomfortable at all-despite the new size usually implying their large party rules of tasting menu for all-& managed the situation by demonstrating flexibility & kindness that's rare to see these days. On top of that, the service throughout & the food itself was exemplary - oysters, challah, little gem, tomatoes, beef tartare, oyster mushroom, scallops, lobster, short rib - incredibly well done. & dessert of course ensured we left delighted after a truly outstanding experience.View more

Came here for dinner & had their tasting menu. I was impressed by the quality, taste & creativity of these dishes. Loved the mussel starter. The oyster mushroom was to die for. I had mixed feelings about the trout since the different sauces felt a little confusing & didn't really go well when mixed together, however, each component was executed well. The duck was very flavourful & had extra bread to soak up the sauce. Parsnip dessert was very creative & delicious. I enjoyed the texture & balance of this dish. Bonus points for the fact that it wasn't too sweet.View more

Qualité de nourriture au rendez-vous, mais attention si vous optez pour le « menu dégustation », votre expérience sera malheureusement gâchée par un menu entièrement de plats à partager. (!!!!) Diviser vos portions (incluant les quelques condiments du plats...!) déplacer votre nourriture, en échapper, plats refroidis conséquemment, manger tout votre repas dans de petites soucoupes à café etc. Une belle présentation d'un plat d'un menu dégustation a l'air de quoi, une fois transféré avec une cuillère à soupe dans une assiette à café? Rien de très joli. & si partager avec un collègue ou quelqu'un de moins intime ne vous tente pas trop? Vous vous cognerez tout de même les cuillères jusqu'à votre ganache au dessert!View more

Cet établissement était sur la liste depuis un bout de temps mais comme je ne passe pas souvent dans le coin... Mais cette fois-ci, c'est la bonne ! La devanture est aussi discrète que celle du Mastard, j'ai failli passer tout droit. Le local est charmant, la salle du fond est intime avec un salon privé (je pense). Bien entendu, on a prit le dégustation & le serveur a accepté qu'on change un des plats. Rien de mieux qu'un mocktail pour se mettre dans le bonne condition, pour ma part j'ai opté pour une Cale sèche (lime, miel de trèfle, sauge) qui est vraiment excellent! Le ballet des plats commence sous les commentaires très intéressant du serveur, le thon (avec des concombres, ciboulette kombucha & genmaicha) ouvre le bal, c'est frais, ça fond en bouche, quoi de mieux pour préparer le palais pour la suite. Les pleurotes avec de la feta fumé, le tartare de boeuf (avec coriandre, citronnelle, lime, basilic) suivent avec le pain maison au levain sont un délice! Je veux leur acheter leur pain tellement il est bon (faut que je me renseigne...) Le plat de tomate est d'une fraicheur incroyable, je les ai mangé trop vite, pour le homard, le lait de coco fait une belle job, gout, texture, tout est là! À la place de l'agneau, on a demandé a changé pour le calmar encornet, le mélange quinoa, fenouil, le mariage de tout cela fonctionne à merveille. On a eu droit a un entremet, un granité de rhubarbe, bien que je ne sois pas fan de rhubarbe, j'ai été agréablement surpris (comme quoi, faut tout essayer). Le dessert a la fraise & sa meringue avec du basilic a bien fini la soirée. Pour une 1ere expérience, j'avoue que j'ai été enchanté pour tout ce que j'ai gouté & bien entendu, il va falloir que je revienne gouter aux autres plats ou à un nouveau menu de dégustation quand se sera disponible (oui.. quand ?).View more

Très bon restaurant raffiné! Ma blonde m'y a emmené pour mon anniversaire, ça faisait longtemps que j'avais envie de le tester, & je n'ai pas été déçu. Nous avons été très bien reçus, la nourriture était très bonne, faite à partir de produits locaux, & très bien travaillée ! J'ai même goûté du riz de veau (en ravioles) pour la première fois, & malgré mes réticences initiales, je me suis régalé ! Nous avions sélectionné le menu du mois avec l'accord mets & vins. Tout était bon, j'étais juste un peu déçu des vins sélectionnés qui n'apportaient pas tant aux plats dégustés, hormis le dessert au chocolat avec lequel un banyuls était extraordinaire. Dans l'ensemble une très bonne expérience, nous reviendrons très probablement prochainementView more

I came here with some friends recently & enjoyed a great meal filled with food made by a clearly talented chef. While the dishes were on the smaller side, as is usually the case with French/fine cuisine, each dish packed a punch of flavors leaving me curious for more. We tried the tasting menu as this was our first time, it provided a great array of different dishes & we were definitely looking to come back & try some of the other dishes. The black cod, the duck & the mushroom dish were my favorites. I removed one star because of the service. Our reservation was at 9, so probably one of the last services of the evening. When the waiter took our order, he informed us that two us the items from the tasting menu were sold out & that they would substitute it with other things. I asked if I could order the tasting menu in addition to other dishes & he really stood his ground in saying that the tasting menu was a lot & ordering more was ambitious. He did mention that if we were still hungry agrees that we could simply order more. Low & behold, when the last course before dessert came, we were still hungry & still very curious to try what else the menu had to offer. We asked to get the menu & the waiter seemed a bit struck. He asked us to wait while he asked the chef if the kitchen was still open & returned shortly to tell us that if we placed the orders now, they could be fulfilled. But now, what happened was that a lot more of the menu was sold out. In the end, 6 menu items were not available. So while this was not exactly the waiters fault (but I guess he could have listened to our original order & not tell me that I'm ambitious if wanted more than the tasting menu), I don't understand why the restaurant would take reservations at a time where by the middle of the meal, half the menu items would run out. It just felt like we got screwed by getting a late reservation. For such a restaurant of high estime, every seating should be serviced at the same caliber. I digress. The food was good & I was happy I got to come here.View more

Service: A1! We had an amazing service, super friendly & very attentive: Water was always filled up, plates & utensils were swap after every single plate.

Atmosphere: Some what "homey" yet still chic, had a very charming aesthetic.

Food: I had the tasting menu which was 75$ per person, it was worth every dollar, highly recommended! (menu changes often based on season, month, & ingredient's availability)

Part 1 of the tasting menu

Unlimited Sourdough bread with butter: 10/10 (Very good homemade bread, can't complain about unlimited bread!)

Tuna Tataki with Melon, Tomato, Jalapeno & Shiso: 6.5/10 (unfortunately the only dish that was underwhelming to my taste, refreshing tho)

Beef tartare, eggplant, green beans, marjoram, basil, parmesan: 10/10 (Delicious! full of flavor, great balance, execution & seasoning)

Pan fried oyster mushrooms with smoked feta, shallot, bread crumbs: 9.5/10 (Delicious! Mushroom had a nice lard flavor to it & the smokiness of the feta really paired well together. Another dish that was well executed & well seasoned. Honestly, the bread crumbs was a nice texture additive, but the bread soaked all the oil which made the dish a bit heavier than it already is. Perhaps in a smaller quantity or simply omitted would have been better.

Part 2 of the tasting menu

Artic char fish confit with slight grill, squash, miso, capers & elder berries: 7.5/10 (The fish was cooked flawlessly, execution, flavor, texture were all there, however I feel like everything that came along with the fish did not complement nor enhanced the fish. As a whole dish, I felt like it missed the mark.)

Beats, peach, vadouvan & labneh: 9/10 (Very unique dish, which had a nice mix between refreshing & sweet & creamy & spiced, great contrasting flavor profile that complimented each other. It is served at the same time as the Artic char fish, the sweetness, tanginess & spice help elevate & bring forward the gentle herby flavor profile of the Artic char fish).

Part 3 of the tasting menu

Lamb made 2 way - pulled lamb & pressed for crust & grilled & sliced. Squash, hazel nuts, Groundcherry, fir tree, served with sherry jus. 9.5/10 (The lamb were cooked perfectly, nice & tender, not gammy at all! The sherry jus was packed with umami, the squash was amazing, & the groundcherry added a nice tangy sweetness to the dish. Fantastic dish! It would have been perfect if the dish was not as sweet, however the broccolini served along with the dish balanced the overall of the serving).

Broccolini, nasturtium, shallot, garlic, & leek. 10/10 (Great side dish with the Lamb, full of fresh & herbal flavor to complement the main dish).

Part 4 of the tasting menu

Pre-Dessert: Financier cake with homemade jam & grated cheese. 9.5/10 (Very tasty bite, balanced sweetness, fantastic texture on the pastry, the cheese added a good complexity to the flavor, but the smell it emitted was a bit too pungent for a dessert).

Dessert: Cheese cake on top of graham cracker crust, raspberry water with sorrel oil, fresh raspberry, celery bits, sorrel leaf, & dried flower raspberry sorbet. 10/10 (The best dessert I ever had in my life, I could have 10 serving of it without getting sick of it. It was refreshing, delicate, light, well balanced, a mature sweetness. A symphony of flavor & texture! Perfection.)

Highly recommended!View more

A must go in Montreal. It can be very casual & yet chic. The tasting menu is very well planned & each dish complimented each other. Dessert is also oustanding. I also cannot forget to compliment the service. Always checked up on us & refilled the water promptly. They also paid extra attention because it was a birthday. Would 100% go back.View more
