Ça ne vaut pas le détour. Sauce de paella avec goût incertain, les aliments étaient de qualité, portion de riz insuffisante. Tartare de saumon portion repas était correct sans plus, servi avec un seul croûton! Salade verte, sans goût ni épices. Service courtois mais novice. Établissement propre.

Can be a bit loud, overall would recommend for brunch & lunch but dinner can be hit or miss. Their beef isn't great, on the tougher side. Lobster ravioli is excellent.

Un classique de Montreal! J'ai d'ailleurs choisi deux entrées très classiques la soupe de poisson avec la rouille & la salade frisée aux lardons & mon mari a pris la salade d'endives avec le tartare. Tout était impeccable!

I had one of the best meals of my life tonight. The atmosphere was perfect. The wine suggestion given by Fred along with the food was 5 stars all around. I am beyond satisfied. The food was fresh & the service was perfect. I hope to go back again soon!

We came for lunch - service was lovely & friendly. Refilled our waters at least 12 times. This restaurant honestly floored my expectations. Best French onion soup I've ever had, best duck confit I've ever had & best French fries we've ever had. The mussels were good but not as incredible as everything else. Also the chocolate ganache cake was incredible. All around amazing experience I highly recommend this place.

The food isnt bad but also isnt phenomenal either. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. The atmosphere is a bit dated & bland.

Nous étions un gros groupe le samedi de la formule 1. Un service courtois, rapide & des plats excellents! Le tartare de saumon & le chèvre chaud en entrée étaient excellents! & pour le plat de résistance nous avons essayé le veau de lait sauce marsala dont la cuisson était parfaite & les pâtes aux champignons & pancetta. Je recommande fortement! Nous reviendrons!

Une bonne ambiance brasserie à la Française & une qualité de service irréprochable. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le professionnalisme du manager officiant ce soir là ainsi que son équipe. Il nous avait été réservé une belle table en salle mais nous avons demandé d'être près du bar sur des mange-debouts au plus près de toute la brigade de serveurs. Nous avons bien fait, nous étions au coeur d'une fourmilière de femmes & d'hommes investis & passionnés. Côté cuisine, le chef (québécois nous a-t-on dit) secondé par 2 chefs Français offre une cuisine raffinée. Quelques plats atypiques au milieu d'une carte variée sont proposés dont une paella & un couscous que nous avons essayé. Un plat que la brigade a mis en valeur, un plat simple qu'elle a rendu noble. Une belle expérience donc & une bonne soirée dans cet élégant établissement.

I had the hanger steak, wife had the paella. Paella was decent. But my steak was awful. I ordered medium rare & it came out blue. The center was completely raw & sinewy. But with this kind of place, you pay for what you get. It's cheap, i just got in to the city, wasnt about to make a scene sending food back. Nothing worth noting to be honest at this restaurant. Atmosphere was probably the best part. Food was the worst part. Service was fine, but the waiter somehow managed to spill water on the table? Waiter also didnt ask if i wanted a drink So i just didnt order a drink lol i didnt say anything & tipped normally but it's just unusal. I just wasnt impressed at all, & no real reason to be back. Cant recommend.

The food was good, as one can see from lots of photos. But, frankly, the service was absolutely amazing. Everybody, from the manager who greeted us at the door & found a way to see us, & all of the weight staff who tended to us, but especially our waiter, Joe, who was one of the best waiters we have ever experienced. Perfect service. I happily left a 30% tip & look forward to going back.

Fabulous dining - superb quality food in a lovely busy setting with very attentive friendly staff . Our only disappointment was we felt rushed through our 3 courses - rather than just taking our time to enjoy the top quality food .

It is a decent French restaurant. A bit expensive (reasonable for being a French restaurant). The steak is not the best. The salad quite salty. The duck confit is okay. Not my personal favorite. Took almost 30 min to wait for the dishes. No waitress refilled our water.
