Restaurant chaleureux & les plats sont délicieux. Le service était excellent. On était assis du côté piano bar & ça en valait la peine. On a aussi remarqué qu'ils étaient très accommodants en ce qui concerne les allergies & les restrictions alimentaires. On a déjà hâte d'y retourner.

Huîtres délicieuses, moules curry-coco succulentes, les frites étaient parfaites, le dessert chocolaté généreux & parfaitement dosé. Service attentionné. Une belle découverte!

I think this may be my favourite restaurant in Montreal.

The food was delicious, innovative & fresh. It is also very affordable. We paid 70$ for a four course menu.

The service was very good as well.

They offer all you can eat mussels & fries on Tuesdays! They always have the classic sauce & a sauce of the day. It has been a struggle to find really good mussels in this city & I'm super happy that I found this gem of a place! The mussels are always really fresh & they have an amazing selection of oysters as well. I would definitely recommend this cute intimate restaurant if you're ever craving mussels or tasty oysters!

Hi, place is nice however the food portion is tiny. I don't recommend going to this establishment if you are hungry. All of our meals were the size of a small appetizer. Very friendly staff very nice place just wanted to mention that the food portion was very small. $40 steak was about 2' by 3.5' my wifes octopus was only one small tentacle yes very tiny serving for a $30 meal & my son's fish / catch of the day was smaller than my steak also for $40. It's a nice place & the staff was excellent but in the end we had to stop off at the Local Metro market to pick up more food to cook when we returned back to our apartment we were staying at. We ended up paying around $140.00 w/tip for a snack size portion entree. :
