Jean-Philippe Tastet, Le Devoir

Inspired by his many travels, chef Vincent Desaulniers revisits with passion classic dishes combined with different flavors of the world.

The meticulously crafted wine list features a wide selection of privately imported products and is constantly evolving.

With its warm atmosphere and its modern decor bathed in greenery and natural light, this restaurant on rue St-Denis will become your favorite destination for your outings as a couple or with friends, both to enjoy a meal and for happy hour.

Entrée de pleurotes exquise, entrée de ceviche avec une sauce un peu trop liquide. Bon plat de tartare, original dans sa présentation.
Salle très agréable
Service correct( un peu trop d' empressement à desservir la table même quand on n' a pas fini)

Très petites portions, surtout pour les entrées, comme c'est pratiquement le même prix que le plat principal.

Délicieux & service impeccable. Le seul souci, c'est la quantité des plats que j'aurai aimé qu'elle soit un peu plus généreuse, mais sinon rien à dire. Endroit très agréable! À refaire !

Le service fut impeccable, Les huîtres étaient fraîches, le tartare de saumon souligné de noix de Grenoble appétissant & la vinaigrette de la salade verte équilibrée. Malgré le peu de choix de vin blanc vendu au verre, le français retenu était succulent.

Belle ambiance sur la terrasse. Le menu est intéressant. Le personnel est très sympathique. Le cocktail de crevettes, servi avec sauce maison, est sublime. Pour le plat principal, j'ai choisi les moules; plat réussi, sans plus.
C'est un endroit que je recommande.
