Went for a brunch with friends. They were able to accommodate a group of 8 with advance notice. Got the French Toast & honestly the best I have ever had. I still think about it & dream about it till this day. Service was amazing & the food was of quality. The drink assortments were of high quality also.

This place seems classic. Lots of business people, family celebrations, & special occasions.
The fish soup & mushroom pistachio pasta with the QC Chardonnay btg was the perfect seasoning.
Philippe was a pro server. My husband enjoyed the French Onion soup & hanger steak, the chef's choice of prep.
This was my birthday meal out. I have no regrets!
The only thing lacking in the atmosphere was the sound level. I think this place is best for groups of three or more. For some reason it was loud for the two of us but really, we managed fine.
Also, the seating is beautiful but not cushy.

Food is fine - a totally average experience
Baffled as to why this seems to get rave reviews. I can only imagine people have low expectations.
The best part about this is the food, which is totally fine. That's the best I can say about it. There's clearly been some thought behind food combinations & flavour, but it wasn't executed to perfection, & came out so quickly that it made us question how fresh it was.
Service is fine, but doesn't extend beyond that, & it has a very'corporate' feel that makes it hard to relax.
If you want a fine meal where you know exactly what to expect then this is the place for you, but we won't be rushing back here.

We had such an amazing meal here! I cannot recommend the food highly enough-I'm still thinking about it weeks later. We had the chicken liver pâté, the grilled salmon, & one of the fish specials of the day. All were INCREDIBLE!! Our waiter was delightful-kind, funny, & personable. We loved our experience here & will definitely come back whenever we're in Montreal next. We made a reservation for Saturday night & it seemed busy enough that it was needed. Highly recommend making one so you won't have any wait times. 10/10!

Je suis une régulière à ce restaurent. Toujours excellente nourriture & exceptionnel service! J'aimais eu aucun problème. Les week-end il y a des déjeuners & les oeufs Bénédicte sont EXCEPTIONNELS 😍😍😍 je recommande à coup sûr si vous passez à Montréal.
UDATE. Ils ont changé les oeufs Bénédictine & ont remplacé la gratin dauphinois par des patates déjeuner que j'aurais pu avoir au Cora une même plus petite portion que Cora). Un peu un décevant du déjeuner… avec une salade que je ne mange pas. Au moins les oeufs étaient bon & cuit à la perfection mais j'ai été très déçu cette mâtiné là 😢. Jus d'orange bon à l'habitude. Je vais y retourner pour dîner/souper mais j'attendrai un petit peu avant d'y retourner pour déjeuner.
De plus, la serveuse commence à nous parler en anglais, nous lui répondons que nous parlons français. Elle continue à nous parler anglais alors que nous répondons en français & lui répétons plus de 3 fois que nous parlons français avant qu'elle comprenne dans nos visages. Je sais qu'elle est nouvelle mais on lui répondait en français & on lui a dit 3 fois… le service était excellent & rapide comme d'habitude en dehors de cela.

Nice ambience & good service. Food experience disappointing though. Liver pate was nondescript & tasted processed rather than home made. The duck confit was bland, soft skinned & nothing like the proper French dish with crispy skin & tasty delicate meat. The salad with lardons & poached egg was ok but the salmon was bland too & the potato purée that came with it was nothing special. The place itself looked promising but the cuisine did not deliver. Pity.

Ça demeure une des meilleures tables au centre-ville. Le midi comme le soir. & si vous avez la chance d'être servi par Dominique, l'expérience est simplement incroyable.

J'y suis allé en semaine un jeudi soir sur réservation. Le service est bon, l'ambiance est bonne & les plats ont du goût !
J'ai pris Burrata vinaigre balsamique, une bavette & un pudding chômeur.
Pas mal de plats français, style bistro.

They were busy & had a hiccup with our table to start but were extremely receptive to fixing it & making sure our experience ended strong. 10 points to management for turning around a slow start to the meal.

Our group really enjoyed everything. Beef tartare, mussels, caramel dessert stood out. Good Canadian wine list.

J'ai adoré sur tous les points ! Je recommande ce restaurant sans aucun doute. Notre serveur qui se nommait Joe était tellement gentil, nous avons manqué de rien, il est exceptionnel honnêtement ! L'expérience était très agréable ! 💕

Saturday brunch. Setting was lovely, atmosphere typically brasserie, service was attentive but not obtrusive. Fish & chips were tasty, fries especially, fish was disconcertingly tender, but tasty. Now, eggs Benny, one with ham, one with smoked salmon-both poorly executed. Poached eggs should be lovely & runny yolks & tender FULLY COOKED whites. That's not what was presented. While the yolks were runny, the whites were liquid, watery unappealing & left in a watery mess on the plate. Also had one tradional full breakfast with sausage(just ok), smoked bacon (delicious), baked beans(undercooked) & over easy eggs which were over cooked & left uneaten , the grilled bread that was supposed to accompany it never arrived. Bloody Caesar was traditional & delicious. Unexciting bread was served before the meal, no butter, not a great first impression. Service was lovely, atmosphere cheerful. $140 four people.
