I had an unforgettable experience at Hoogan & Beaufort. This was my very first Michelin-star dining experience, my first tasting menu with wine pairing, & even my first solo trip to Montreal, so it was a very special occasion for me.
From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome & comfortable, even though I was dining alone. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & paired perfectly with the wines. The team took the time to explain each dish & wine, which made the experience even more enjoyable & memorable.
To make the evening even more special, they surprised me with a complimentary appetizer & dessert. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly made me feel valued as a guest.
Thank you to everyone at Hoogan & Beaufort for making my first Michelin-star experience one I'll never forget. It exceeded all of my expectations, & I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.
Hoogan & Beaufort was an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, with a warm, stylish, & inviting space that makes for a great dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, & everything was thoughtfully prepared.
A nice bonus is the free parking lot, which makes visiting the restaurant so much more convenient, especially in Montreal.
We had a wonderful time & will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

6/5. Grateful for one of the most memorable evenings here. Everything was perfect. 🙏 If you are visiting Montreal, this is an absolute must. See you again-soon, hopefully!
Excellente qualité ! La nourriture était exquise & le service adorable. Par contre, malheureusement, étant donné le temps entre les plats que nous avons reçu, nous avions faim à la fin du repas. Le plat principal qui était la viande à la fin était d'une taille plus raisonnable mais le combo debit + quantité nous a laissé sur notre faim.
Notes que nous avions un bébé & avons dû aller le changer ce qui a pris 10min mais sinon le souper a duré 3h mais la quantité servie à chaque service faisait qu'on avait l'impression d'avoir faim tout le long du repas.
Peut être servir 3 pétoncles au lieu d'une pétoncle en 3… un peu plus de pâte à la rigueur si on veut garder les prix raisonnables…
Par contre, chapeau pour l'exécution & tout le monde a été très accommodant avec notre bébé & nous. J'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience mais nous avons mangé à la maison. Apres, nous faisons partie de l'équipe des gourmands. Ce n'est peut être pas le cas pour tout le monde.
Bravo à toute l'équipe de cet établissement d'exception!! Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable! Le service, la nourriture OMG Miam! l'accueil, le vin, le staff, le cadre, bref TOUT, à fait en sorte que cette soirée soit parfaite & réussie!! Mention spéciale à Annie, Camillo, Maxime & à toute l'équipe de cuisine! 🙌🏻🩷
