Overall, reviews describe Hoogan & Beaufort as a standout dining destination where the tasting menu and wine pairings often shine, with beautifully executed dishes and a wine program that enhances the flavors. Service is consistently praised for warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism, and dining at the bar is frequently highlighted as a particularly fun and engaging experience. While most guests are impressed by the cuisine and atmosphere, a few note moments when service feels detached or not fully aligned with the price, and some mention menu changes or desserts that are pricey or not entirely satisfying. Many reviewers call the kitchen skilled and inventive, with plates that are both refined and flavorful, and the overall ambiance described as elegant yet relaxed. The wine list has Michelin recognition and the experience is often described as among the best in town, making celebrations memorable, even as a small number of visits surface inconsistencies.
Gros coup de coeur 💓 pour ce superbe restaurant. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & tous les plats étaient vraiment excellents. Belle créativité & produits impeccables.
Amazing dinner experience. The tasting menu was awesome, cocktails & drinks were the perfect compliment to it.

My fiancée is expecting & they tailored her experience accordingly, it's been the perfect night for us !

I can't believe it was my first time there!
The food: to die for. 😮?💨
The service: incredible ✨
I highly recommend sitting at the bar. That made it such a fun night.
All the staff was so friendly & knowledgeable.
Just an unbelievable (Especially on a Monday) experience overall.
We had been talking about trying Hoogan & Beaufort for years, so we decided to finally book it for a birthday & make a real occasion out of it. Honestly, it was worth the wait.
We went with the tasting menu because we wanted the full experience, & it was the right choice. Every plate surprised us in a good way. The flavors were creative but still comforting, & each course felt carefully thought out. It is one of those meals where you slow down & really enjoy every bite.
The service made the night even more special. Everyone was warm & genuinely friendly. The sommelier, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, clearly knows his craft & gave us very personalized wine recommendations that elevated the whole meal.
What really touched us was the birthday surprise at the end. We had mentioned it when booking but did not remind them when we arrived, yet they still brought out an extra dessert. It felt thoughtful & elegant without being over the top.
I would absolutely recommend it, especially for a special occasion.
Merveilleuse soirée de découverte au Hoogan & Beaufort. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & tout était un vrai délice du début à la fin. Le service est très qualitatif & Camillo a rendu notre moment très agréable. 🥰
The steak was extremely tough & full of excessive fat, to the point where I couldn't eat most of it. The knife was dull & couldn't properly cut through the meat. Very disappointing experience.
The food was truly amazing, every dish was well executed & flavorful. The restaurant clearly deserves recognition for its cuisine.
However, the service didn't match the level of the food or the price point. When we arrived, the waiter seemed quite cold toward us, possibly because we were speaking English. We asked for cocktail recommendations & were told the menu changes often, so we should just pick whatever'resonated' with us which wasn't very helpful.
The restaurant has received a Michelin recommendation for its wine list, & the first wine suggested to me was excellent. When I asked for a second wine with my meal, I was brought something I didn't enjoy. After mentioning it, the waiter brought another glass which turned out to be the exact same first wine he had already served me (I noticed because it was the same bottle). The wine was great, but it would have been nice to see a bit more attention to detail & effort.
Overall, the food was good, but the service felt indifferent & not aligned with a nearly $500 experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return though I still think the kitchen does a great job.

Tout étais excellent! Meilleur expérience gastronomique! Service au petit soins & impeccable, ambiance agréable & très beau lieu. Le chef réalise des accords complexes de saveurs qui explose en bouche. Le prix vaut l'expérience!

Wonderful dining experience. Beautifully executed food, warm & attentive service, & a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. It's easy to see why this restaurant is so special to so many. We truly enjoyed every moment & would happily return.
Excellente expérience chez Hoogan & Beaufort. Le service est tout simplement exceptionnel : attentionné, professionnel & chaleureux du début à la fin. Les plats sont très bons & magnifiquement présentés - de super belles assiettes qui ouvrent l'appétit dès qu'elles arrivent à table.
Gros coup de coeur pour les huîtres chaudes aux pommes, absolument délicieuses & parfaitement équilibrées.
Petit bémol du côté des desserts : ils sont assez chers &, pour moi, un peu décevants, même si la qualité des produits & l'exécution sont indéniables.
Une très belle adresse que je recommande sans hésiter pour l'expérience globale.
« Quelle belle découverte Hoogan & Beaufort ! Le service est tout simplement impeccable : du serveur courtois aux conseils avisés du sommelier, en passant par le savoir-faire du mixologue & l'accueil chaleureux de l'hôtesse, toute l'équipe a été aux petits soins. 🥂👨?🍳💖
Côté cuisine, nous avons été impressionnés par le talent des chefs. Chaque plat commandé était un véritable coup de coeur, apprêté avec une précision & une créativité méritant un 10/10. 🍽?😋👌 !
