Très bon restaurant, menu très simple, original, pas de carte à rallonge. Les plats peuvent être partagés & excellents. Très bons desserts. Certaines portions un peu petites. Belle ambiance & très bon service. Je recommande !

Si je pouvais mettre 4.5 au lieu de 4, je le ferais. Excellent service & très bonne ambiance. La nourriture était bonne. Je suis contente d'avoir essayé mais je ne pense pas que j'y retournerais (c'est à l'opposé de la ville pour moi & ce n'est pas assez wow) Je recommande de l'essayer au moins une fois pour se faire un avis, j'ai passé une excellente soirée

Excellente ambiance & excellent service. Cuisine un peu inégale. Beaucoup de plats très lourds & difficiles à finir. Je recommande néanmoins l'endroit, qui est tout de même à essayer.

I brought my friend for her birthday & I have to say KNUCKLES did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in you will be greeted by an epic & awesome staff. You almost feel as if you're in the comfort of your own home that's how cozy this resto is. The food is absolutely out of this world I can't describe it because you literally have to taste it for yourself!! Their selection of wines are amazing. The desserts ARE JUST OMG !! Place was so good & the chef food was so delicious that my friend & I HAD TO GO BACK the week after for brunch. This is an ABSOLUTE GEM in the city of Montreal. I most definitely recommend it to everyone. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Un des meilleurs endroits à découvrir à Montréal ! Notre expérience a été exceptionnelle, marquée par une ambiance chaleureuse & un service impeccable. Notre serveur, Cédric, s'est montré d'un grand professionnalisme, guidant notre choix de vins avec expertise & attention. La carte des vins est riche, & les suggestions étaient parfaitement adaptées aux plats que nous avions choisis. Ce qui rend ce restaurant unique, c'est son engagement envers les produits locaux : tous les ingrédients proviennent du Québec, ce qui met en avant le terroir local de manière authentique. Le menu propose une diversité de plats qui saura plaire à tous les goûts, avec une qualité indéniable dans chaque assiette. Un des incontournables est la salade Caprese, un plat alliant fraîcheur & saveurs, parfaitement exécuté & particulièrement rafraîchissant. Chaque bouchée reflète une attention aux détails qui rehausse l'expérience culinaire. En somme, cet établissement mérite amplement le détour pour une expérience gastronomique ancrée dans la qualité & le savoir-faire local. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne en quête de découvertes culinaires mémorables à Montréal !

Quel endroit fantastique que nous adorons depuis leur début il y a plusieurs années. Mat & Vincent sont toujours autant chaleureux & accueillant dans leur restaurant. Cuisine : plats à partager pour profiter d'une plus grande variété! Service: attentionné, discret mais présent malgré tout. Ambiance: petite salle qui s'est agrandie avec le temps sans pour autant perdre le cachet. Je recommande absolument,& il faut revenir car leur menu évolue au fil des saisons.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. So delicious & well presented. & concept of the concept of the restaurant is so special & unique (only ingredients from Quebec/local businesses/super fresh) The staff were fantastic & really added to the great atmosphere with a great mix of quirky & fun Italian decor. Thoroughly recommend !

Une soirée mémorable ! L'ambiance du restaurant est authentique, réconfortante & intimiste. Nous retrouvons également ceci dans la cuisine qui est à la fois raffinée & classique ou des plats authentiques sont revisité avec une modernité unique. Le service a rendu notre soirée encore plus belle avec Cédric qui nous concocté un menu sur mesure pour équilibrer les mets avec la belle carte des vins. Je recommande vivement avec des amis ou en couple vous ne serez pas déçu ! Mention spéciale pour les coquilles de saint jaques en mise bouche !!!

La semaine passée, j'ai soupé au Knuckles avec des amis pour célébrer un anniversaire, & l'expérience a été mémorable. Notre serveur, Cédric, a offert un service impeccable : toujours souriant & attentif au moindre détail, il a vraiment contribué à rendre la soirée spéciale. L'ambiance du restaurant était à la fois intime & accueillante, parfaite pour une belle soirée entre amis. Je recommande vivement cet endroit pour ceux qui cherchent à passer un moment agréable, que ce soit pour une occasion spéciale ou simplement pour bien manger dans une atmosphère conviviale.

Great food, music, cocktails, & service but very expensive, especially considering portion size. If money isn't an issue for you, I highly recommend this place.

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!

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.

Everything was so good! I highly recommend the fried pleurotes, it comes with an absolutely insane blue cheese sauce. The carbonara was excellent. The knuckles are a must order, it is absolutely delicious. The wines were delicious. Our waiter was attentive & friendly. The only comment I have is that the scallop dish was SO tiny. We were expecting two scallops at least for the price, but it was one, cute in small slices...

Nous avons essayé de restaurant sous recommandation d'une amie. Ce fut une expérience délicieuse. Tous les plats étaient à notre goût & le rapport qualité-prix est très raisonnable. & que dire des vins suggérés avec nos plats! Ce fut une belle découverte & je recommande à tous le plat de pleurotes avec sauce au bleue.
