A true gem!
This was our third visit in just five months & for good reason. The food is absolutely delicious, with flavors that truly stand out & keep you coming back for more. Each dish is not only full of taste, but beautifully presented, like a work of art on the plate. You can tell how much care & creativity goes into everything they serve.
A big thank you to the chef Sean Murray Smith, to Jeremy & the whole team of l'Ile flottante for a wonderful & delicious evening.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food & a memorable dining experience. Don't miss out!View more
What a culinary experience. Everything was good. From the food, to the drinks, to the wine… it was an exceptional 5 course meal plus dessert. The cocktails were excellent. I had 2 of the 4 signature cocktails & wanted to try them all, but also didn't want to get drunk 🤪. The service is so good. The describe every dish in exquisite detail while it sits in front or you. I wanted some wine & they brought me three to sample before I made my selection. Just from my description of the wine they were able to narrow down the selection to one I loved. ExcellencesView more
Expérience exceptionnelle au delà de mes attentes, une vrai découverte de saveur !
Nous avons eu le menu en 8 services 2 entrées 4 plat 2 dessert. Chaque assiette s'accordait parfaitement les une aux autres.
Une adresse à essayer une fois dans sa vieView more
Had a lovely evening at Île Flottante. The theme night featured an Asian twist, & the wine pairing was thoughtfully done. The chicken dish stood out as flavorful, while the cavatelli & the single lamb lollipop chop were just okay. The biggest letdown was the portion size, six miniature plates just didn't feel like a proper meal, especially given the $100+ price tag. Left a bit hungry, which isn't what you expect at this level. Overall, a refined concept with good execution on some dishes, but lacking in value & satisfaction. I will return to try the regular menu.View more
Brought my fiancé here for her birthday. Before having any food the server shattered a wine glass all over us. It was definitely not her fault & she was beyond lovely about it. But had to endure the entire meal with small shards of glass in my arm & all over my clothes. Tried to tweeze the glass out of my arms, jacket & pants, to no avail. Now I'm out a 250$ jacket & 200$ jeans. Bringing the cost of the meal so close to 800$ for two people. Seems more like a management issue than anything because again, our server was absolutely amazing & clearly just made a small mistake anyone could make (Her service was impeccable). That being said; I am beyond shocked that we paid full price when the staff was aware there was glass in my arm & my jacket pocket was full of tiny shards of glass.View more
We were fortunate to get a table on our recent visit to Montreal. This is probably our third or fourth visit over the years. The creativity is sustained & the complexity of the flavor is fantastic. There are more protein dishes on offer than before & I had a hard time with two dishes (quail & beef) where I had found them to be overly salty, thereby blunted the flavor of the ingredients from shining through. The two white wine we had were incredible & not usual find either. Service was efficient & pleasant.
One of our top picks over & over again.View more
The service was exceptional. The atmosphere was very cozy & pleasant.
The tasting menu was quite eclectic every plate was good, but lacked coherence. We were not blown away by the flavours.
The wine tasting was a significant disappointment. The wines were very good but did not pair well with the plates.View more
5 étoiles amplement méritées pour la soirée que nous avons passé à l'Ile Flottante.
Le menu était un enchaînement de saveurs riches & exquises, adapté aux restrictions alimentaires de chacun.
Le service était excellent lui aussi.
Ce restaurant mérite à lui seul le déplacement sur Montréal.View more
There's not enough places like this in the city; a true gem. Reservations are essential, as the seating is assigned for the evening; it's a leisurely dinning experience.
The dishes are beautifully plated & the combinations are delightfully flavourful & balanced.
My one detractor from the evening would be it is rather difficult to converse; there is little to no sound isolation & gets quite loud at peak times & the music; the selection of which seems poorly-suited to the environment.
Having said all this, a new menu is relesed every 6 weeks, I have every intention of returning.View more
Définitivement déçu de l'île Flottante, un restaurant qui fait fréquemment la liste des meilleurs restaurants a Montréal. Je dirais que la nourriture était bonne mais rien d'exceptionnel, la ou il y a un sérieux problème c'est la vitesse du service. Le menu dégustation offre un grand nombre de service 12 si je me souviens bien. Cependant le temps d'attente entre chaque service est beaucoup trop élevé.
Lorsque nous y étions il y avait environ 8 personnes dans le restaurant. Au total le repas a prit environ 4:30 heures pour deux personnes.
Dans un tel contexte, je pense que le service aurait dû être beaucoup plus rapide.View more
By far the best restaurant I've been to in MontrealView more
J'y suis allée pour l'anniversaire de ma petite soeur, plats & accord mets vins aussi incroyable que toute l'équipeView more
Quelle merveille ! Un sans faute, service incroyable, la nourriture était magique ! Le seul petit bémol c'est que 6 services c'est vraiment beaucoup, j'aurais préféré pouvoir choisir d'en avoir moins !View more
Went with my friend & had a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back!View more
De loin ma meilleure expérience gastronomique montréalaise à vie. Les accords mets & vins venaient avec des histoires & des mises en contexte, merci 🙏 à la sommelière!View more
The food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the wine pairing, which complemented the dishes beautifully. Considering the price & the quality-I'd say this is one of the top restaurants in Montreal. The staff were also incredibly friendly & approachable, adding to the overall positive experience. The only dish that felt a bit out of place was the'leek ramen.' While I genuinely appreciate fine dining cuisine infused with ingredients from other cultures, this ramen dish seemed somewhat odd compared to the rest of the menu.View more
Absolutely amazing dining experience! As someone with a gluten allergy I truly appreciate how well they accommodated my needs. Every dish was incredible, but the highlight for me was the beef tartare! Everything was cooked to perfection, & the flavors were just phenomenal!!
We also opted for the wine pairing, & I highly recommend it, it complemented each course beautifully.. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was top-notch. The staff were not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu & the wine selections. I'll definitely be coming back!!View more
Everytime we visit Montreal we try to get a table at an upscale restaurant or two, & Île Flottante is one of best restaurants we've been to. We will be coming back here again for sure.
We were very happy with every aspect of our experience, the staff were pleasant & very kind. The kitchen staff were great too. Thanks to all for the memorable meal & convivial atmosphere & service. We hope you get your star.View more
