We recently had a bridal shower for my daughter at Il Cortile &, while the weather did not cooperate for us to use the lovely courtyard, Dino & his staff were extremely accommodating & kind & a real pleasure to deal with! The service & food were excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant which has been around for many years.

I had the pleasure to celebrate my 20th birthday at the cortile restaurant & it was simply amazing! Starting from the FOOD I've never ate a filet mignon well done, cooked & spiced exactly like I wanted in Montréal. The chef ‍ needs a 100/10 ⭐️. Next the service was marvellous, James & Hicham gave us the most amazing service ever in Montréal, My guests & I were all happy, we had an amazing night & we are definitely coming back!❤️

Service was really good but food is not. I had the pastas with "wild" mushrooms that weren't wild.. lol. Pastas were not cooked & the sauce had no taste.
