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.
Un souper absolument incroyable! Les saveurs, les couleurs, la presentation etaient fantastiques! Le service etait impeccable & le repas était excellent! Nous y retournerons avec grand bonheur!
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...
La Chronique, c'est vraiment un restaurant exceptionnel. J'y suis allée avec ma fille &, encore une fois, j'ai été impressionnée. Le personnel est tellement attentionné, présent, toujours avec le sourire & beaucoup de classe.
Les plats étaient incroyables - tout est maîtrisé, raffiné, & surtout tellement bon ! On sent la passion du chef dans chaque assiette. Les saveurs sont justes, les cuissons parfaites, & les présentations superbes. C'est de la grande cuisine, faite avec coeur.
Pour moi, c'est tout simplement le meilleur restaurant en ville. J'aime y aller, & je sais déjà que je vais y retourner encore.
C'est LA place pour les épicuriens qui aiment se faire plaisir & vivre une vraie expérience gastronomique. Un incontournable dans une ambiance élégante mais accessible.
My uncle wanted to treat my mother & I for our birthdays & personally chose this restaurant. The waiter was a kid & super rude, snarky & not helpful at all. Makes you feel like a peasant who should be so grateful for being allowed entry at his food establishment. If you have food intolerances don't go because you will be made to feel like you shouldn't go there & should know better. Food & presentation is nice but overpriced compared to other MTL restos. I have traveled all over Europe & Asia & never had such a service experience as this. Really makes the whole experience unpleasant & won't recommend or return.
