The place is great, nice live music, lovely decoration, food is good, order basic drinks because there are not the greatest at making cocktails. Overall, I would go back! Just keep in mind that you have to make a line that takes a little while

Great place in Old Montreal. The food was excellent & the drinks were perfect! Especially on a warm summer evening. The lemonade really hit the spot! The crepes were delicious, in particular the smoked meat crepe. Combining two of my favourite Montreal foods in one! The restaurant's decor & ambiance is something special. You can either sit out on the front patio, or in the back in the outdoor garden. Both great, this time we sat in the garden. It's so nice, there are tables on different levels, there are huge umbrellas & awnings to cover from the sun, & there is amazing live jazz music. It was such a nice place to spend the evening. Service was very good too. Our server, Alexandre, was awesome! Looking forward to our next visit there!

Cuisine qui ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard, c'est vraiment une usine, table collées les unes aux autres mais l'endroit est joli

That place is a unique experience. It feels like Babylon with all the plants everywhere. That was just amazing & the jazz scene was just perfect. As we speak, the jazz will play until 3 pm, & come back at 6 pm until late night. I took the vegan jackfruit, which was very tasty.

Had an amazing experience eating here. Had my first poutine, paired with their specialty liqueur coffee & they were delicious. Ambience was great. Good interior & accompanying jazz music made it better. The service is a bit slow but it's because of their humongous popularity. This is the case of suffering from success I guess..

Amazing atmosphere! Live jazz music by really talented gentleman. Service was fast & friendly. Food was delicious too. We got appetizers for the most part & we loved them. We got the tostada de mariscos, the shrimp on the appetizers menu (don't remember the name but they were a favorite) & the cartier salad. All 3 were to die for. Food was so good I didn't take a picture lol
