A really lovely dining experience that's great for a date or a long chat. We didn't realize there's a fixed MTLàTABLE menu going on, but while it wasn't what I'd planned to order it was very good. The foie grois was especially excellent. They have an extensive wine list as well. While the menu is all in French, the waiter was great with explaining dishes as my partner speaks no French & I only speak some. Everyone was very kind & professional. The meal did take awhile - about 2 hours - but with the nice ambiance I don't think that's a bad thing. It definitely doesn't feel like a place to rush through a quick dinner.

Pleasant place to visit for the atmosphere just needs a few minor kinks to sort out. This establishment seems to be high quality but there were some notable things to mention. We ordered the cerf & the beef with vegetables, both couldn't be cut with the high quality knives they provided so we left some pieces behind. The meat was quite tough & had limited flavour which was disappointing as there are only 8 options on the menu. Service was slow (we ordered 4 items) & we had plastic bottles of sparkling water.

There are just so many better places in Montreal to spend your money. The food here was so mid for some of the highest prices we have seen since moving to the city. I would not normally go into such detail but for over $300 (from the a la carte, thank god we didn't do the tasting), I think people should know what they are getting. The service was ok, but not great. The constant upselling & near condescending way that the wine & menu items were described to us came off as quite pretentious; & frankly, laughable once we actually tried the food. Bless him, our server tried but unfortunately it was just overall awkward. The restaurant itself had no atmosphere. It's just white walls with some generic abstract canvases & the music ranged from Charlotte Cardin, to background jazz, to nothing at all. Both of my partners dishes (the sweetbreads & duck) had no seasoning, & I would wager his duck was left in the sous vide too long as it had a near mushy texture. My starter (tuna) tasted like straight up lime juice, the fish was not fresh tasting, the pieces were not even cut all the way through, & it was missing some elements (which I didn't notice until someone next to us ordered the same thing & it looked different). My main (the steak) was ok, but the ratatouille it came with was so overcooked it was all one colour of mush. For $58 I expect much better. The best thing we had was the wine, of which they do have a large selection, & the bread ($5 charge) was decent but certainly not mind blowing. The final kicker was when we paid & the server told us to choose one of the tip percentages on the bill (starting at 20%). *Disclaimer that we had a treater gift card which covered a lot of the bill so we were significantly less pissed & we ended up just laughing it off & leaving, but we will not go back & do not recommend.

This was probably the most fine dining experience I've ever had, celebrated my PhD acceptance here. Tried a fat pigeon, it was great.

Superb high end french cuisine. Exceptional tasting menu with wine pairing. Among the best in Montreal. Hard to see how you can go wrong with this place.
