Review Summary

Overall, La Chronique draws strong praise for impeccable service and a refined, expressive tasting menu where wine pairings are integrated with each course. The staff are described as attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, contributing to a memorable and immersive dining experience. Dishes are celebrated for balance, artistry, and precise technique, with highlights including seafood and tender meats, and portions described as well judged. The ambiance is often noted as elegant and refined but sometimes quieter than expected, making it feel more like a culinary journey than a lively night out. Pricing is premium and the experience is described as expensive, yet many consider it worth the investment for gastronomic enthusiasts. Regulars praise a longstanding, capable team and a consistently high level of care. Negative reviews are mentioned as rare exceptions, usually tied to temper or inflated expectations rather than the kitchen.

This was a tasting menu with smaller items over five courses which included Atlantic Char, Salmon, Foie Gras, beef, etc. Each dish was exquisitely prepared & well spaced out. You never felt hurried & each dish was explained in detail. The sommelier made an excellent pairing since I am not as familiar with French wines, & he kept the bottle & decided to pour when he felt it appropriate. The waiter & two chefs also spent considerable time with us to ensure everything was to our liking. I thought each tasting was amazing except for the beef at the end which was a little tough & stringy. The dessert tasting was also awesome. While it was one of the finest dining experiences we have ever had, it was also one of the most expensive. So be prepared.

Belle presentation, creativite originale dans les recettes, cuisson tout a fait adequate mais pour plus de 200$ par personne tout inclus, un manque de saveurs que l'8on attend d'un tel niveau de gastronomie, portion minimaliste pour le foie gras qui bien que bellement presente manquait de gout. De meme pour le dessert & la pintade pourtant tres tendre...

Que dire quand tout est parfait ? Un décor clair, un serveur qui connait son métier & un jeune chef à qui l' on souhaite une longue carrière. Nous étions 3 & avons pris le menu dégustation. Un régal pour les yeux & le nez. Pour le goût, chaque plat semblait vouloir surpasser le suivant. Pour terminer, les desserts , comme le bouquet final d' un feu d' artifice. Un délice. Un merci particulier au jeune chef Marc . Nous l' avions prévenu lors de la réservation que l un de nous était végétarien. Il a magnifiquement géré. Une expérience à renouveler. Bravo

Montréal à table 2023 - à réessayer pour définir la qualité Pour commencer, service impeccable! Absolument rien à dire là-dessus. La seule seuveuse disponible dans l'endroit nous a accueilli & servi extrêmement bien. Niveau nourriture, nous avons réservé pour le dîner à l'aide du site Web de Montréal à table - sur place nous avons appris que le restau n'offrait pas cette option lors du dîner. Vu la situation, ils ont accepté de nous accommoder. Par conséquent notre critique doit le prendre en considération. En ce qui concerne les entrées, elles étaient vraiment bonnes. Difficile de faire mieux. Notre déception a été au niveau du plat principal, les pétoncles avec le risotto. Le risotto manquait vraiment de cuisson & les pétoncles n'étaient pas à point, mais nous croyons qu'il est possible que c'est parce qu'ils n'étaient pas préparé à offrir le menu. Le dessert était bien présenté & bon, sans toutefois être remarquable (pas facile de se démarquer avec un gâteau au chocolat). Bref, j'y retournerai pour y donner une deuxième chance; juste pour les entrées honnêtement ça vallait la peine! À voir si, avec le menu ordinaire & sans surprise, tout est aussi bon que les entrées.

Everything about this place is breathtaking - the food, the service & - unfortunately - the prices!

You go to La Chronique for uncompromising high cuisine - it's the kind of place where Dinner & Art meet.

Though everything in our 7-course tasting menu was extraordinary, if I had to pick a standout it was the dessert selection. It's rare, if you ask me, for dessert to be the highlight of an exceptionally good meal, but La Chronique's sweets were just out of this world.

Absolutely go - but preferably on an expense account! (Or go for lunch, when prices fall back down from the eveningtime stratosphere.)

-------------

UPDATE: Just went back to this place for the first time since they moved to their new location.

The new dining room is far more in tune with the style of cooking than the old one across the street used to be: contemporary, understated, cool & very, very stylish.

Lunchtime menu prices are not the paycheck-sapping monstruosities of the evening menu, & meals are a bit less elaborate, but the quality is the same. I've never had risotto so well made before, & I used to live in Italy.

La Chronique is everything a Fancy Restaurant should be. These guys are not foolin' around.
