Entendus de bonnes choses par rapport à cet établissement, mais on est sortis un peu mitigés. Le service était étrange, & les plats hit or miss. Pour le prix c'est inacceptable selon moi. Nous avons prit le menu dégustation avec l'accord vin. Les vins étaient inintéressants & fades. Les plats allaient d'incroyable à médiocre... Ex: entrée incroyable & recherchée suivie d'un tartare de canard tellement vinaigré qu'on ne goûtait plus rien d'autre. Par contre, je retournerai seulement pour le dessert... Un des meilleurs que j'ai goûté dans ma vie, c'était comme si l'on croquait dans Noël. Bref, à vous d'essayer (ou pas)!View more

Extremely long wait in between courses. Was dining for 3h. Out of the 7 courses, two were desserts & only two were contained a protein (very small portion). The other 3 courses were vegetables... The servers were nice. The flavours were decent however I cannot justify paying $120. There are other restaurants that are better.View more

Visited during F1 weekend & was pleasantly surprised at the service- on point as well as the pairings of wine with each dish. Each dish was unique to Montreal, french inspired with a twist of modern delight! The sommelier was attentive & caring when it came to each of her choices for each dish. 4 stars for atmosphere because the space was rather loud as voices seemed to echo off walls. Otherwise everything else was superb!View more

This place is absolutely exceptional! From the service to the mocktails to the ever increasingly tasty pescatarian set menu, we are super pleased. The flavours are wonderful & they are harmonious with each other. Multiple times during the evening, I contemplated licking the plate but didn't want to seem rude. Each course built upon the last & they were all special in their own regard. We also checked whether this place was Michelin guide listed as the food quality was so good & the presentations were so visually appealing. We would absolutely recommend coming back here for any occasion. It was certainly worth the drive from Toronto for this restaurant.View more

I plan my trips to Montreal so I'm there the days Il Flotttante is open. I've been to many countries, paid for fabulous meals, & used expense accounts to do that too. To me: Il Flottante is the top restaurant on this planet. & the food, service & atmosphere are all in that category. OMG I'm so hungry right now!!!View more

Tout était délicieux. Accommodent pour les végétariens (viande remplacée par champignons). Longue attente entre les services, il ne faut pas être pressés. (4h pour 7 services au total). Les desserts étaient vraiment bons.View more

More rustic than super refined. Everything was stellar, as a point of constructive feedback, the plates are busy, pull back a bit & focus on a more minimalistic approach.View more

If you only read this far in the review, please know that ÎIe Flottante's staff is so incredibly kind, caring, & accommodating. I visited here with my partner about a week ago, & we accidentally arrived an hour earlier than our reservation due to a mess-up on our end with time zone differences. We were still seated immediately, & they informed us of our error & said they would do their best to get us fed as soon as possible. Our server suggested we start with a drink, so that's what we did. The sommelier brought out two fabulous dry white wines to try, & I chose a glass of biodynamic wine that I would not have chosen had I only read about it & not tasted it. We both have dietary restrictions, but about 20 minutes after we were seated, they were able to bring out the first course. Unfortunately, right before this happened, I began to feel ill with what I would learn later was the start of a painful sinus infection. The first course, a meat, cheese, & fresh produce course, was delicious, but I realized I wouldn't be able to continue eating due to not feeling well. My partner informed our server, & she was empathetic & said she would only charge us for drinks. My partner & I have both worked customer-facing jobs & always try to be gracious & unobtrusive, so we apologized effusively. The chef came out to make sure everything was ok & to ask if there was anything they could do. I apologized again for any trouble that they went to accommodating both our earliness & dietary restrictions, & he could not have been more kind & understanding. It was more than professionalism; it was personal authenticity & kindness. We'll certainly be back, next time, for the full meal.View more

This was the highlight of my trip to Montreal. The entire dinner was delicious & so well thought out. However, the last dessert was my absolute favorite & i will be thinking about it every day. The little meringue pieces were literal perfection. Definitely recommend!View more

Original setting, casual but curated. Service was attentive & friendly. Food was very pretty & artistically put together but had no umami. One dish was crazy salty as if no one tasted it before. It felt as if the Chef was on vacation. We left with a little sadness.View more

Highly recommend the tasting menu. The service, unique flavor combinations & presentation make this a place to put on your Montreal restaurant to try list (especially great for celebrations)View more

The food was pretty & the taste was nice, but nothing that blew my mind (except desserts, they were outstanding). ... The whole experience was unbearably long though, we were there from 9 to past 12:30, & waited 20-30 minutes between each plate. Each plate is only a few bites, so you're just waiting for food 3/4 of the time. They don't offer any bread or anything similar to keep the hunger down between each plate either The staff was really sweet though! I guess I just expected a lot more from the restaurant that is regularly voted the best in Montreal. I've you regularly eat for 120$ per person, then it might not phase you to risk having a meh or even bad experience at this place. But if you're going for a special event, there are definitely other restaurants you should consider first.View more
