Review Summary

Knuckles Cantine & Vins earns overwhelmingly positive feedback for inventive, well balanced dishes that reinterpret classics with texture and flair, a warm intimate setting, and attentive friendly service. Diners praise the menu variety and the sense that ingredients are fresh and cooked with care, with standout items including panzerotti, gnocchi dishes, tartares that range from classic to playful, pleurottes buffalo, and the pizza pochette. Many describe the cocktails and wine list as adventurous and well suited to the food, with some noting particularly memorable drinks and a strong wine program. The experience is often described as welcoming and convivial, with staff who explain dishes clearly and make guests feel at home. Some comments mention that portions can be on the smaller side and a few dishes can feel overly salty or uneven in certain visits, and a couple of visits note that the space can be crowded or loud. A number of reviews highlight exceptional desserts and the chef style that blends authenticity and originality, with desserts like chocolate mousse or other decadent treats getting praise. Lunch and group tasting options are appreciated for value and variety, though occasional menu updates can disappoint if items are unavailable. Overall, Knuckles Cantine & Vins is seen as a local gem worth returning to for a memorable, high quality dining experience and exploration of its creative, flavor forward menu.

10/10. Amazing service, amazing food. Just a great experience overall. Would recommend to anyone, but it was especially nice for Valentine's day.

Excellent à tout point de vue.
Le seul bémol est peut être la salle un peu bruyante mais c'est le prix de la popularité 😉

Everything from food, service to decor was phenomenal, we had such a great time here & each dish was so surprisingly delicious, especially the savory éclair! Can't wait to go back & try the other dishes on the menu :).

Une table incroyable!
Des que je travaille de Montréal, je me dois d'y aller, je ne suis jamais déçue. Leur menu midi est aussi très abordable.

J'ai une question par contre, êtes vous en mesure de me mentionner d'où viennent vos chaises dans la salle à manger?

Came here a few days ago with my girlfriend, & we ordered the Hawaiian knuckle that was essentially a panzerotti. It was really good & we were able to split it between the two of us.

We also got a nice selection of bottled wine, which was really nice, it was the first time I've ever got an entire bottle of wine at a restaurant before so it was a treat.

We ended up getting the salad that had everything bagel seeds on top with some awesome mixture salad dressing that was just a complete home run

We also got the steak fries with a side of french fries that tasted amazing

The atmosphere was really cool. The staff was extremely friendly & absolutely helpful when we had questions.

The restaurant was clean & with the winter snowy night it just made everything even better. It was like the scene out of a movie, I really enjoyed myself here & will definitely come back again. Definitely recommended that you bring your friends & family out.

Also, the prices are very formidable no complaints & they are good portions for the price you pay.

Première expérience dans ce petit resto de quartier tout chou. Le service était rapide, la bouffe malade, les pâtes étaient fantastiques, les panzerottis étaient croustillantes à souhait & le dessert simplement wow. Le menu table d'hôte nous a remplie de bonheur. Belle découverte culinaire je le recommande fortement

This place is beautiful, the staff is fine, & the cocktails are nice. Although the cocktail I had filled only half the glass, meanwhile the ice was a mountain & kept hitting me in the nose every time I took a sip. The food is an absolute joke. I cannot for the life of me understand these reviews.

Très bon service, l'ambiance du restaurant est bien aussi. Pour ce qui est des plats, j'ai bien aimé le tartare big mac. Les panzerotti étaient quand même gros mais j'aurais préféré qu'ils soient un peu plus petits parce qu'il n'y avait pas assez de garniture à l'intérieur… le ratio pâte/garniture n'était pas bon. Le plat de pâtes était vraiment petit pour partager (nous avons pris les 5 plats à partager). J'ai bien aimé le dessert.

the unique dishes are quite insanely good (spinach gnocchi with no potatoes)…. buffalo oyster mushrooms?

steak frites were great, but nothing too special

great wine, ambience is tight & cozy - service is also very pleasant

overall - good one to add to ur to try list

Les 5 plats à partager étaient délicieux. Mets originaux. J'aurais donné 5 étoiles. Cependant, les pâtes auraient pu être cuites un peu plus. Mais experience très agréable. J'y retournerai.
