Les convives explorent un menu varié qui équilibre les techniques traditionnelles avec des présentations contemporaines. Les grandes banquettes circulaires et les boiseries polies favorisent un environnement propice à la dégustation de favoris culinaires classiques.

OVERALL: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 - Clean & Fresh Visiting beautiful Montreal & this place was recommended by a friend. The ambiance was that of a typical upscale French bistro. The service was amazing (even though we had 3 different servers in the course of our meal). We had.. - Country Vegetable Soup - light & fresh but too much salt. - Steak Frites - The fries were limp & soggy. The steak was fine. - Burrata Salad - Excellent. Enjoyed the figs. - Lemon Cream & Mascarponne Mousse - Excellent The food was absolutely amazing. The best Thai food I have eaten in the city.
Had a late dinner here after the eclipse. They welcomed our party & we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Lots of excellent choices on the menu. Seafood, meat, vegetarian....good appetizers & desserts as well as a good selection of wines & other choices from the bar. It was lively without being loud & service was stellar. The specials of the day were stand outs including cod & veal. 100% recommend!
Really great restaurant. It was 9pm when we were looking for a restaurant & were turned away at many other restaurants. The hotel called Holders & they could accommodate us. When we walked in the doors they greeted us & were really friendly. Lori our server was so great. Really friendly & super helpful. We really enjoyed the French onion soup, it was light & very flavorful. The veal strip special was so flavorful, I loved the cauliflower & turnips. Highly recommend this restaurant for good food & even better service

Excellent repas & service incroyable! Nous avons été servi par Joe & nous avons eu une soirée exceptionnelle grâce à son service hors pair! Je recommande chaleureusement!
Excellent service, quickly served & polite waiters. The food was unbelievably delicious! We had beef tartare as an entree, then I had the duck confit which was very well seasoned & tender, & then we had crème brûlée for the first time & it was very good!! Highly recommend
This place was recommend by a local I met the day before & I am so grateful because it was amazing. The server was fantastic & spoke French with me & English with my partner. He had the filet mignon & it was mouth watering. I had the goat cheese salad & an endive salad & both were delicious. We got the dessert special & wow, it was special. Cheesecake with a thin top layer of a cherry paste & a scoop of ice cream with bits of white & dark chocolate, & a chocolate crumble. Definitely want to come back.
It is my favorite place to eat out. I have so many good memories from this place. I remember dining there with my mom & her boyfriend who is super picky with what he eat & every dish on the menu had something wrong with it. I finally convinced him to have the Joues de boeuf braisées. The man cleared out the plate, to a point that it was almost imbaracing. That's how good the food is. So yes I totaly recommended to anyone to try this place out.
French onion soup was really delicious. I felt the food was a bit salty. It may take a long time for food to come out, so I wouldn't recommend it to busy people.
Well, this was a very happy choice for a second-last meal in Montreal. The space is a lovely, classic & grand dining room that also manages to have a cozy & warm feeling. The service was perfect & the food really was delectable. The braised beef cheek really stands out - so buttery, meltingly tender & extremely tasty. Overall, this resto is a definite recommend!
It's one of my favorite restaurants around Square Victoria neighborhood. Great place for having a business lunch, 5à7 (happy hour), or dinner. My favorite dish is confit de canard, but I also recommend pasta, risotto, sea food... another option for lunch is the menu of the day (midi express). The dessert options are also very good! Great wine & sparkling wine menu.
