Overall, La Prunelle is seen as a standout neighborhood gem for classic, well executed French cuisine in Montreal, delivering memorable evenings and a welcoming atmosphere.
Honestly, I would give it a better score, but the food was just mediocre & expensive. I got the octopus as an entrance, & it was the worst I ever tasted. Not taste, super chewy, I don't recommend it. The second course I got the feta gnudis, they would have been so much better if there were more sauce. It felt dry because there was just a little bit of squash puree. For dessert, I got the lemon tart, the taste was good but the pie dough was too thick. Overall, there needs to be improvement in the food if they want to sell at this price.
We had a delightful & delicious evening with you last Friday. I have wanted to come to your restaurant for years & finally made it happen. I will return in the near future the next time I'm in Montreal & be sure to tell my friends about your wonderfully cozy restaurant as well! Merci beaucoup!
C'était excellent de l'entrée au dessert! Mais plutôt bruyant, vous devriez penser à installer quelques chose pour amortir le son. De plus nous étions 3 placés sur une petite table pour deux plutôt exigus. Heureusement la serveuse nous a gracieusement offerte des bouchées de tartare de poissons pour ce petit désagrément.
De retour après la pandémie.Toujours aussi bon & le service est hors pair.C'est certain qu'on va revenir.Des aliments de qualité servi avec originalité & cuisson parfaite & assaisonnements toujours équilibrés Bravo!

La table positionnée derrière la machine à crème glacée c'est pas super... Le compresseur très bruyant qui part & nous empêche de s'entendre parler, pas très agréable... La table devrait être enlevée tout simplement...
Le restaurant est beau & le service super sympa ... en revanche, côté cuisine les portions ne sont pas généreuses ... & le café est lui par contre tres ... mais alors vraiment très mauvais !

Super cozy petit restaurant avec BYOB. Le repas (tartare de boeuf super tendre suivi de ris de veau) était délicieux. L'ambiance était très relaxée. En tant que personne avec une déficience auditive le niveau sonore était un peu élevé, j'avais du mal à entendre le personnel, mais ce n'est pas la faute du restaurant. Si j'ai l'occasion, j'y retournerai.
