We had the knuckles (a family recipe of the owner), the steak tartare burger-style & the goat cheese tarte as entrées. We loved everything, but we would particularly recommend the goat cheese dish, it was beyond delicious!
For our mains, we had the gnocchi, which were unreal & the pintade. We shared everything & were too full for dessert, although we really wanted to try the mousse au chocolat.
The portions are on the smaller side, so I would recommend ordering multiple dishes, just as the server suggested. The service was lovely & the atmosphere felt so cozy. Seriously, a 10/10 experience!View more

2nd time here, this round involved getting the Shared Tasting Menu. The food was nice but contrary to our first visit back in 2023, we found most dishes to contain a little too much sauce or creams. The ingredients served are so fresh/local & lovely on their own that I feel their natural flavors would be best elevated with more subtle seasonings/herbs/fruit/etc that could better balance the experience of each dishView more

You must check out this restaurant if your in Montreal! It's fantastic! We ordered the Kale Salad, Bic Mac Tartare, which were delicious, but star dish went to the Spinach gnocchi, it was unreal...probably one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had! The service was ok, the staff only spoke to us in French which was a bit annoying.... but the owner passed by & was super nice & explained the dishes & spoke in English, French & Italian. Great great place to eat some delicious food with a nice vibe cute & cozy!View more

Delicious meal in a charming neighbourhood in Montreal. We loved the vibe & ambiance of the restaurant. We sat at the bar & our server was very friendly & talked us through the menu & dishes. We ordered a number of dishes including: the Memphis barbecorn, carbonara, pizza pockets, fried fish with Big Mac hollandaise, tomato & mozzarella salad, fish eclair, & chocolate mousse. We loved how fun & flavourful all the dishes, with a refined spin on some classics like the filet-o-fish. The fish dish & pizza pockets were definitely the highlights of our meal. The Memphis barbecorn was super flavourful as well; we loved all the corn components but found the pork belly a bit too fatty (even for pork belly). The pasta in the carbonara was cooked perfectly al dente & the flavour was excellent. The unique wines were also a highly & I loved the red wine our serve had recommended. Overall a great dining experience!View more

Awesome 1st experience at this charming bistro in the "Jarry Village" - all of the dishes were well prepared & original combinations. Very tasty overall. The homemade focaccia that came with the garlic roasted periwinkles (bourgot) was outstanding. Special last night was freshly made spinach gnocchi with grandma's special sauce - yum! We likely the strawberry shortcake so much we had it twice - Groundhog Day dessert - our waited did not seem surprised at all, guess this happens often. Great selection of reasonable prices wines with a focus on bio/organic - let the waiter guide you, they know their wines here. Overall a wonderful dinner experience, followed by a stroll around Jarry park which is a few blocks over to digest. We will be back for sure - very, very recommended.View more

Knuckles is my favourite restaurant in Montreal. It is hands down the best food, most unpretentious vibes, & most passionate team who truly care about where they source their food & ingredients from. Time & time again, I tell everyone to eat here & they LOVE it. If you love eating from many dishes, sharing, & trying amazing wines, go to knuckles!View more

Pleurotes au buffalo: frieds oyster mushrooms that had a mildly crispy & chewy texture, the buffalo powder was generous & had a pretty intense & salty flavor. The bluecheese dip was not stinky at all & was almost able to balance out the buffalo. Tartaréclaire: the eclair itself was soft, not chewy or soggy from the toppings. the raw fish used was very tender & not stinky at all, it was delicious. Each element of the dish enhanced the unit as a whole. The caviar provided a smokey & salty touch, the thin croutons added crispy texture & the creamh goat cheese & dill was just perfect. Loved it. Knuckles: basically a fancy pizza pocket that had a very nice dough to filling ratio. The dough itself was essentially soft but had a mild crunch on the outside since it was fried. One thing that I would have preferred is to have pepperoni in the filling. To me, it was the missing element that could've made the dish more special. Carbonara: straight forward, ordinary dish, but they used peccorino instead of pancetta or bacon. I'd say it was almost perfect, but personally I prefer my pasta more cooked than al dente. Porchetta: slices of raw pork that were not stinky served with marinated ingredients & a salty green mayo. It was very good & honestly taste excactlt like a all dressed vietnamese banh mi, but without bread. Kale salad: this salad was a good surprise. Although it may seem simple, the blend of textures (crunchy but soft kale, crunchy potato shavings) with a simple but good dressing made it super good. It may look underwhelming but do not underestimate it. We were lucky enough to get a table for 2 last-minute by just showing up at the restaurant but I highly recommend to come here & try their small menu, of course after making a reservation. It's pretty pricey (170$/2 people/6 dishes) but I don't really have anything bad to say about the food.View more
