A friendly, Bring Your Own Wine restaurant, L'in-time boasts about having the best mussels in town on their menu. A cross between Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, and not shy to bring a touch of Greek and Quebec to certain dishes, the restaurant certainly has an enticing and diversified choice of dishes at affordable prices.
L'in-time comes across as a charming neighborhood Italian spot with an intimate, warm ambiance where high quality, flavorful dishes and generous portions stand out, with house made sauces for pasta and standout mussels plus desserts that offer a pleasant finish, and the option to bring your own wine at no extra charge is repeatedly praised. Service is frequently described as impeccable, attentive, friendly, and professional, with staff making celebrations feel special and recommendations reliably helpful. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, ideal for good company, and the recent Verdun location maintains that vibe with a bright dining room and thoughtful touches. While a few notes mention it can get warm inside and that some entrees are richer or saltier than expected, the overall sentiment centers on consistency, memorable meals, and a strong desire to return and recommend L'in-time.
La nourriture était excellente! & le service Im-peccable comme d'habitude!! Merci énormément pour votre bonne humeur & votre énergie rayonnante. - Pâtes 2 pour 1 excellent deal!
La serveuse est très attentive à nos besoins & répond à toutes nos questions. Serviable & gentille. Amenez votre vin. Genre d'endroit où j'amènerais une date
Was looking for BYOB & found this place, so we decided to have my husband's birthday dinner here. During the reservation process, the staff were very kind & helpful. The restaurant is nicely decorated & is on the smaller side but very quaint & cozy. The food was delicious & there are many options at pretty reasonable prices! & the carrot cake... OMG!!! Thank you L'in-time!
Nous avons grandement apprécié notre repas. C'était notre première fois & nous avons trouvé le service superbe & le repas était très bon. Tout est frais & très goûteux. Nous y retournerons c'est certain.
I felt a little shy about going here in the past-it's a bit of an institution, you had to reserve in advance…but the new location on Wellington shows off the comfy (not stuffy) interior, & it was easy to reserve, so I got over myself &…had a wonderful experience. Went there for date night & it somehow managed to be a date-level place with a decent amount of atmosphere for a reasonable price. Wednesday is all-you-can-eat mussels with salad & dessert; two coffees & a bottle of sparkling water still put us a little under $100 before tax. Which isn't nothing, Lord knows, but for phenomenal service & absolutely delicious, fresh-cooked mussels in fresh-made sauce? Yes please!
It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the food! Pesto & Rosato sauces were lovely.
Highly recommend you give it a try. Pick up a bottle of wine nearby if you feel like it.
Quelle belle expérience dans ce magnifique petit restaurant italien. Tous les plats étaient excellents mais que dire du service!! Il s'agit probablement de ma meilleure expérience à vie dans un restaurant. Comme si tout cela n'était pas suffisant, les prix sont plus qu'abordables. Nous y retournerons assurément!! Merci L'In-Time pour cette superbe soirée!!

Restaurant très''cozy'', ambiance agréable. Petit restaurant donc s'assurer de réserver.
Excellent service.
Très bonne nourriture, la seule chose c'est les portions. La portion pourrait être un peu plus généreuse pour le prix des plats. Nos assiettes étaient pas très remplis & le fond du bol était visible...
Je recommande si vous avez pas une grosse appétit :)
Service impeccable: serveuse souriante, attentionnée, à l'écoute.
Bel ambiance: decontracté, relax, musique jazz.
Nous avons pris en entrées crostini pesto & crostini bruschetta. Repas principaux: moules au fromage bleu & moules sauce alfredo. Pour dessert, la crème brûlée. Le tout était savoureux, chaud, belle présentations. Bon rapport qualité-prix.
Je recommande absolument ce restaurant. Un bijou à découvrir!
Excellent date spot, so cozy & comfy & very very sweet. The staff is incredibly kind & endearing. The food is tasty, a very satiated craving. It's a fun concept for a restaurant, a unique spot, & a delight to visit. Plus-BYO!

Nourriture excellente, service exceptionnel de la part de Marleine. J'aurais amélioré la musique, mais ça demeure un choix personnel. Nous y retournerons.
As always, Vanessa is the best. I am ALWAYS recommending this restaurant to my friends (& even strangers) sometimes. The food is high quality, the service is amazing, & it's a Bring Your Own Wine.
Such a staple of Verdun & worth supporting

What great gem in Verdun. I highly recomend this place for any type of celebration or just to have a nice meal.
The food is delicious & the service is amazing.
On m'y a invité pour mon anniversaire le brunch du dimanche est excellent. & c'est du jus d'orange fraîchement pressé que l'on sert. Different des autres endroits & excellent !
