Knuckles Cantine & Vins ressort comme une adresse conviviale où le service est fréquemment salué pour son efficacité et sa chaleur, et où la carte mêle originalité et qualité. Les plats se distinguent par leur créativité et leur saveur, avec des coups de cœur comme les gnocchis aux épinards, le tartare inspiré d'un burger, le panzerotti au smoked meat et l'éclair au char arctique, sans oublier les desserts et les plats de pâtes présentés avec soin. La carte des vins et les cocktails, souvent applaudis, offrent des choix aventureux et des accords efficaces, et l'ambiance chaleureuse de la salle permet de passer un excellent moment, même si le bruit peut être présent lors des soirées animées. Certaines critiques soulignent un rapport qualité-prix avantageux et des portions généreuses pour le prix, tandis que d'autres évoquent des plats parfois trop salés, des portions petites ou des soucis mineurs de service. L'ambiance est cosy et éclectique, avec un décor qui rappelle un bistrot moderne, et la fréquentation peut être dense et bruyante lors des heures d'affluence. Des menus de groupe et des offres comme des specials en semaine sont appréciés pour fêter une occasion et découvrir plusieurs plats à partager. Dans l'ensemble, Knuckles Cantine & Vins est décrite comme une pépite du quartier, offrant une expérience culinaire inventive, un service attentionné et une carte de vins et de cocktails qui mérite d'être explorée.
Came for a with family friends- we were 6 (3 couples) & were obliged to take the fixed menu.. Mind you we werent 12! 55$/ person for food we didnt pick out & tiny portion. Also did not take into consideration our dietary restrictions Service was terrible. We were without drinks or water for most of the service. When we asked to order a bottle wine to pour ourselves, the waiter said he was overwhelmed & couldnt take our drink order because he wouldnt remember it. No water, limited drinks & bird food that wasnt that great.
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!
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...
Casual atmosphere & friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. A great place for people who appreciate natural wines that are somewhat out of the ordinary. Every dish was excellent. I will go back next time I'm back in Montrèal.
Knuckles is my favourite restaurant in Montreal. It is hands down the best food, most unpretentious vibes, & most passionate team who truly care about where they source their food & ingredients from. Time & time again, I tell everyone to eat here & they LOVE it. If you love eating from many dishes, sharing, & trying amazing wines, go to knuckles!
Their strengths lie in the entrée menu & expansive wine selection! The dense freshness of the kale & complimentary sweet vinaigrette, the sharp tanginess of the buffalo oyster mushrooms with the creamy blue cheese! A real treat with shareable portions. & cozy cute, intimate atmosphere. Only one star off a perfect mark for the overcooked gnocchi & the classic cocktail executions that require an unconventional palette. Otherwise, I'll be sure to bring guests again for the next seasonal menu change!
This was one of the most incredible restaurants I've ever been to. Wine? Incredible. Food? Incredible. Vibes? Incredible. Everything is so delicious & fresh & yummy. Their signature knuckles calzones were phenomenal. Then we got the kale salad which was the freshest thing I've ever had. We finished it off with carbonara (with pasta made fresh from directly across the street) & Wagyu beef stuffed onions. Just all around incredible & I'll never stop raving about this restaurant. Can't wait to come back to Montreal for this & try other times on the menu.
My favorite restaurant in Montréal! We went here for our wedding registration with a large party to celebrate & they were so hospitable & kind! The food was delicious & the wine selection was awesome. Thank you!
