Chaque année c'est un incontournable! Belle ambiance, excellent service de notre merveilleuse serveuse Meygan, souriante & généreuse. J'adore la musique'live' d'un groupe jazz sympathique. La sangria rouge est délicieuse! Pas trop sucrée! Le seul point négatif; c'est la saison début septembre, il y a beaucoup trop d'abeilles! D'habitude j'y vais en juillet, c'est mieux.

This place is unique. It has a majestic open concept garden & you eat outdoor. There is so a classy jazz band that plays most night. The menu has good food at respectable prices for a restaurant in the Old Port of Montreal. Really worth a try.

Good food for a good price. Atmosphere is really nice with live Jazz music, just wish the tables would have cloth or look newer. Still definitly a good date night spot.

Have been coming here for years & it never disappoints. The lineup to eat in the back garden can be long but it moves quickly. Had nachos for starter, it was a big portion enough to share & tasted good. The Charcutière Pizza was the start of the show, really good! The servers seem to be covering a large area with a lot of tables so it can be hard to get their attention. The Jazz music is nice to listen to but can be quite loud & hard to hear people on your table talking if you're sat right by them. The garden setting is really nice & looks pretty at night all lit up. It's quite expensive but it's in the old port, what do you expect!

Atmosphere 6 étoiles. I love the live jazz & patio, always find myself back here every summer.

Don't come here expecting amazing food , but must-take the sangria.

Très chouette endroit même si lorsque l on voit la queue pour pouvoir y accéder cela nous donnerait l envie de passer notre chemin, mais ça vaut le coup d attendre ! Le cadre est très agréable, on a mangé de bons plats tout en écoutant du jazz, la serveuse très accueillante, sympa, drôle. On a passé un super moment 👍

It's a restaurant with a great atmosphere, live jazz music, & affordable prices. However, the cocktails were not of the best quality-they were very sweet & lacked flavor.

I was enticed to go here because of the garden terrace & jazz music, but it ends there. To start the strawberry basil drink is more like cool aid than a drink. Sickeningly sweet. After receiving, I wanted to leave but we already ordered. My friend was also disgusted. I went to the hostess to say we wanted to leave & felt bad because we ordered. The waitress said we'd have to pay for bill before leaving. I was starving & stayed but I shouldn't have. The food was just as bad. I got the Mexican crepe. It was more like a quesadilla with chicken slope throw on it. It wasn't a crepe but a tortilla. My friend received a hamburger that was worse than Mcdonslds. While the garden was beautiful. That's where it ends. Do not fall into the tourist trap. 🤨
