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.

We went a year ago & it was an amazing experience. We had the 7 services with the wine pairing. Everything was on point & delicious. I was recommanding to a friend & I remembered that I forgot to leave a review. Cheers :)

L'un des plus célèbre restaurant de la ville. J'y suis allé en 2022 alors peut être que ça a changé. Ce fut une soirée magnifique & un réel plaisir, certains plats sont divins. Malheureusement je regrette que d'autres ne soient pas à la hauteur. La tourte par exemple est très commune, bonne mais commune alors qu'il aurait été possible de la revisiter de bien meilleur façon. Pour le prix ce n'est à mon sens pas possible de donner à manger des plats juste commun. J'y retournerai tout de même peut être un jour.

I loved the concept of having no choice but to get the tasting menu. Each plate was a masterfully crafted blend of flavours from locally sourced ingredients. They obviously put a lot of thought into what they put in their plates in terms of quality & originality of ingredients (parsley root, an ice cream made with fir & pine tree comes to mind, among other things) They were also willing to take some risk with unusual blends of flavours (coconut ice cream with strawberries & asparagus) which made the experience even more memorable. Other reviewers mentioned that they serve the plates too slowly, which I disagree. Even though we did stay about 2.5 hours in total, I liked the pauses between the dishes as it gave you time to appreciate & think about how incredibly creative the plate you ate was. In summary, I feel privileged to have been able to experience a wonderful dinner at Île Flottante, which I feel was a truly masterful work of art

Usually like gastronomical experiences, this one not so much. Not the best flavor combinations... asparagus in dessert? No thanks. Very expensive as well, & don't give any other option than a 7 course tasting menu. Bad value.
