I so wanted to give 5 star to this restaurant but decided to give 4. The reason being Desserts. Everything that we ordered was so delicious except the dessert that upset me a little bit. As after having such amazing Appetizers & Mains your expectations with desserts are way too high as it's the last course that you'll be experiencing at the restaurant. We ordered Fois Gras, Halibut & Steak & everything so just amazing. Layered cake - Marjolaine was also 10/10 but the Raspberry Tart was disappointing. Apart from the food, Gabriel was outstanding & showcased top notch hospitality.

Oh wow. One of my favorite restaurants in the world. I make sure to fly to Montreal at least once a year to eat here. I would say I've been here around 8/9 times. Always a transcendent experience, Customer service exquisite, & the atmosphere warms you up in a cold Canadian night. Pro tip. My best experiences have always been solo at bar. The 5 star service moves up to a 6 here.

Iconic spot in Montreal. Very difficult to get a reservation but that's only because it's so popular. The food is incredible but the servers make the difference. They know the menu very well, make great recommendations & guide you through the experience. The only downside to Joe Beef, drinks are overpriced & mediocre.

Très bonne nourriture & service exceptionnel. Seule deception: ils ne servent que des vins nature & ce n'est pas mentionné sur leur site web & carte des vins TRES dispendieuse.
