The crepes with berries were delicious, as was the eggs Benedict.

I'm so impressed with this place! The design is stylish & modern, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere. But the real showstopper is the food , it's absolutely mouthwatering! The steak is cooked to perfection, & the caramelized onions add a sweet & savory flavor that complements it perfectly. I'm a total steak lover, & this dish exceeded my expectations. If you're a fellow steak enthusiast or just looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend checking this place out. You won't be disappointed!

Very small option for vegetarian. My guess had to order twice the same appetizer to have a decent portion. They were not able to provide any option / accommodation (pasta with tomato sauce..) Told me it is their policy & to write a review if I'm not happy so.. here I am..

Une cuisine française très correcte & sans prétention, au travers d'un service du même registre, qui en font une adresse idéale pour un déjeuner ou dîner improvisé. Cuisine simple & relativement bien exécutée. Choix des vins au verre assez conséquent pour Montréal, & plutôt traditionnel (merci pour ça 🙏). Je recommande 👍

Great brunch here. Both the avocado toast & the mussels were excellent. Their fries were outstanding.

Only positive is the atmosphere & & staff were friendly enough. Other than that I was so disappointed. Waited forever between courses (easily 30 minutes). Ordered the rack of lamb, it was only 4 chops. A rack of lamb means full rack of lamb like Gibby's. Food was cold, every time waiter came to fill wine glasses he would spill it on the table. Was expecting so much more. Will never return.

My boyfriend & I love this place! Their service is wonderful & very mindful of their guests despite having such busy nights. Food is always delicious & leaves you feeling satisfied - & the restaurant has a lovely ambiance. The beef cheek is truly chef's kiss.

My husband got sick from eating mussels here :/ - servers seemed to serve certain customers over others seemingly along racial lines, it was a frustrating experience & the food could have been better overall. There are gluten free options here including the onion soup but be aware the onion soup is a wine reduction & tastes different than your typical onion soup. Also note the regular menu is not available during brunch service.

The service & atmosphere were great! The food was good too, but not very special. However, I still recommend it. It's pretty nice :)

Restaurant Français type Bistro au coeur de Montréal (rue McGill) Bon accueil & placés rapidement malgré un restaurant bien rempli pour un mardi soir & sans réservation de notre part. Nous vous conseillons néanmoins de réserver. Le choix de cocktail est varié avec des classiques & des cocktails maison très bons. Nous avons manger une bavette à l'échalote & une paella, les deux plats étaient excellents : La viande était tendre & savoureuse, la mayo maison avec les frites allumettes au top, nous avons moins aimer le poisson sur la paella qui n'avait pas beaucoup de goût mais le reste du plat était vraiment bon ! L'ambiance était chaleureuse, la playlist à notre goût les serveurs sont souriants & très agréables. Les desserts en photo parlent d'eux mêmes ! A essayer 👍
