Resto de quartier super sympathique, très belle ambiance! Tout ce que nous avons mangé était délicieux avec un coup de coeur pour l'entrée de Pleurotes Buffalo & les Gnocchi Verde!

Such an amazing place! We came here on a friend's recommendation, & it turned out to be the best meal we've had so far in Montreal. The food was simply delicious - fresh ingredients, perfect flavors, & beautifully plated. The service was outstanding as well; Laura made us feel so welcome & added a really personal touch to the experience. Would give more than five stars if we could! :)

Came here after an apero at Claire Jacques.
Food at Knuckles was Ok, but not exciting.

The tartare was good, but a bit sinewy. The pleurotes mushrooms were tasty, but felt a bit oily. I was expecting a lot from the mushroom pasta, but i felt they could have developed a lot more flavors with those beautiful mushrooms.

The shortcake was forgettable. Bits of dry cakes in a somewhat grainy chantilly. The fruit compote was good thought.

Restaurant is a bit crowded, loud & hot (it was 32C outside). But the food & service were excellent. Had the Pintade with truffle & spinach gnocchi. Both top notch & sauces were excellent.

If you want to go to 2nd service, make a reservation.

This place was recommended by many Montrealers, however I think it was over hyped. The food was decent but not enough to recommend it to others as top places in Montreal. The service was very good, no complaints here. Did the unlimited cacio e pepe, it was ok. Did not really enjoy the gravlax or the poireaux cesar. Maybe the place is just not for me. It was expensive for two people who did not enjoy(175$+)

Nous sommes passées rapidement à Knuckles pour un petit apéro & nous avons été agréablement surprises. Le service est top notch, il se démarque de la grande majorité des buvettes. Mémorable ! Les vins étaient très agréables tout autant que leur terasse. Le plat de pleurotes est décadent. Bien hâte d'y retourner !
