Établissement a visiter sans faute. J'ai été impressionné par le serveur Cedric qui a sù m'expliquer chaque plat en détail jusqu'à la provenance des ingrédients tout en offrant des vins qui sauraient s'agencer avec toute l'expérience. L'ambiance du resto est chaleureuse & invitante. C'est le parfait resto pour s'offrir un petit moment seul ou avec des amis en quête de découverte gastronomique.
The food & service here are absolutely amazing. 5 stars will never be enough to describe how amazing the service is. Hats off to Cedric for making us feel like royalty. I will be recommending Knuckles to all of my friends & can't wait for my next visit

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.
We had a group menu since we were 5 & we loved it. The knuckles are realllyyy good. The wine menu is decent. Service was very good. I was promised chocolate filled Knuckles for October , going back there soon!
The service was good. The Hospitality was amazing. The food was good. I like how the waiter presented the food, he gave us a fun fact in regards to the pizza pochette. Overall it was good.
J'ai mangé: - Tartare Big-Mac - Bourgot dog - Knuckles - Pleurote, sauce au fromage bleue J'ai trouvé la bouffe correct mais sans plus. Le tartare big-mac, je trouvais que la sauce était un peu trop présente & masquait un peut le goût de la viande... l'idée est lfun mais je pense qu'il y avait p-e un peu trop de sauce Bourgot dog -> J'ai pas mangé souvent des bourgots, mais je trouvais pas que c'était un bon fit avec le pain côté texture. Ça faisait un peu "mushy" comme assiette. Knuckles -> beaucoup de pâte pour le contenu je trouvais Pleurote -> un peu difficile à manger parce que c'est vraiment salé Bref overall, je trouve que les plats ont du potentiel, mais parfois l'exécution rend le tout un peu moyen. Le service & l'ambiance sont super par contre! Parfait choix de vin & recommendation!
Un bien beau cadeau que nous avons reçu pour une belle découverte. Très agréable soirée, plats & boissons délicieux, avec service attentif & sympathique. Un coup de coeur pour les pétoncles. Nous aimons la formule partage de plats.
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.
