Nous avons eu une belle expérience. Plats délicieux qui sont bien travaillés, certains assez originaux comme le tartare au boeuf style st-hub. Service excellent très amical, les prix sont un peu élevés, mais ça vaut tout de même le détou

J'adooooooore le Knuckles ! Excellent petit resto de quartier avec un menu qui suit les arrivages de produits de saison du moment en les apprêtant de façon divine ! Les pâtes y sont toujours délectables, avec une texture silky digne d'un rêve ! Les prix ne sont pas choquants du tout considérant la grande qualité des plats offerts. La formule de plats à partager est vraiment recommandée, surtout si comme moi vous êtes du type à vouloir commander la carte au complet :-) !
