We ordered for a large group the veal scallopini with vegetables & potatoes. The veal was so flavourful & tender that you didn't need a knife to cut it. The potatoes were delicious as well as the vegetables. The service was impeccable. We definitely would come back & highly recommend Il Cortile.

One of the best spots in downtown Montreal! The food was delicious & reasonably priced. The staff were very welcoming & kind. We visited a couple weeks ago to celebrate a friend's graduation & this place did not disappoint. We loved the terrace & the ambient lighting. When the staff found out my friend was graduating, they brought out a free drink! Our server, James, was the best. Highly recommend!

Some dishes were better than others, I would highly recommend the gnocchi! Service was friendly, excellent wine selection, & the alleyway dining area was just spectacular. Beautiful little nook! Bathrooms need updating, unfortunately.

My friends & I were able to visit for dinner & it was easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Our server James was amazing & made time for us even while busy & went above & beyond to make our evening memorable. The food was delicious, every single dish was loved by everyone at the table. The courtyard is beautiful & makes the whole experience even better. Would highly recommend this place & we are looking forward to visiting again on our next trip!
