The venue's charm, whether on the terrace or inside, makes it a popular spot for gatherings or a romantic evening, and visitors often say they would return.
Les plats étaient très bon & fait avec des ingrédients frais. Quelques fois la cuisson était moyenne mais en général tout était très bon quand même. Le gros point faible, le service, nous avons attendu un bon 20min en milieux de souper entre nos commandes. Cela à gâcher pour nous un peu la soirée. Mais outre cela nous avons aimé l'ambiance en général.
Tapas style restaurant. Everyone of them was meticulously thought of by the chef & full of flavors. Classic cocktails have a nice original twist. Service was terrible, we had a hard time getting our tapas in a reasonable amount of time. Do recommend. Should hire more servers.
J l'adore ce resto. J'y vais très souvent & d'une fois à l'autre, c'est toujours excellent . Les mardis & jeudis les huîtres à un dollar me ravissent. & la terrasse sur la rue Wellington est fort agréable .
Super bel endroit, la nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, les assiettes sont bien présentées & les portions très raisonnables. Nous avons eu un super service de la part d'Éloïse qui a été la plus sweet du début à la fin.
Petit restaurant intime de tapas! L'endroit propose une ambiance conviviale & de beaux repas à partager. La pieuvre était délicieuse, les légumes qui l'accompagnaient étaient croustillants & savoureux. La sélection de dessert était plutôt maigre, mais pour compenser j'ai pu profiter des huîtres à 1$ en y allant un mardi. Merci pour la belle soirée ❤️

Bon accueil, endroit agréable, service un peu froid mais correct. Les cocktails sont excellents & les plats sont bons sans être extraordinaires. Mention spéciale pour les dumplings à l'agneau & la foccacia avec bruschetta & burrata. Plusieurs plats non disponibles. Un peu cher mais tout de même un endroit où passer une belle soirée.
Eloise nous a très bien servi. Avec un beau sourire. La bouffe était excellente. Essayez les pleurottes c' est l'adopter. Ne manquez pas ́les choufleurs frits.
J'y suis allé pour MTL à table. Mon assiette est arrivée longtemps après les autres. Mon plat était tiède & ordinaire. Il fallait redemander pour avoir le verre de vin accord avec le plat avec le plat. 125 $ ...

I usually go to Betise Rosemont but wanted to try the MTL a Table menu here. The tuna app & octopus were both very good & the meat options were decent but I felt like they were really missing the wine pairing to be better. However, I was disappointed with the service. Our waiter just really seemed like he didn't want to be there. He was very slow to come around & never asked us if we wanted more drinks or anything so all we had to drink other than water were the cocktails we ordered at the beginning. I guess we saved money, but I would have liked some wine with dinner. We asked to split everything but no small plates were brought & he completely forgot about our coffee with dessert too. When we brought up the fact that we'll forget about the coffee he didn't even apologize or seem sorry he just said yes it's too late. I will say that the table beside us was loud & obnoxious & seemed to have had an argument with him at some point but he was still slow & inattentive before the argument so I don't think that's the whole story. Anyways, I'll probably continue going to La Betise Rosemont instead of Verdun.
I thought the food was alright, nothing amazing. I started with the tuna, which was excellent, but my main course, the vol-au-vent, was mediocre. It was served on a small plate, which was inconvenient given the amount of sauce, causing it to spill every time I tried to cut into it. Additionally, it was cold. The dessert-a blondie with ice cream-was just okay & not particularly memorable. The service was good, but the restaurant was extremely loud, making it necessary to yell to have a conversation.
