Good selection of dishes for Valentine's 6 course special menu. We especially enjoyed the deer & we found the trou normand a nice & refreshing addition. We would like to come back & try the a la carte menu.
Ambiance calme & agréable (lundi soir), les lumieres aux fenetres créent un effet paisible, cozy. Service 10/10: belles explications du menu & belles suggestions, souriant, courtois. Entrées mille-feuilles aux champignons & huitres délicieux, gouteux, frais! Plats principaux juste parfaits: gnudis de feta & le flétan. Un délice, explosion de saveurs!

Dans l'ensemble la nourriture est bonne, par contre le steak frites viens avec des quartiers de pommes de terre, si on veut des frites il faut le commander à part & ça coûte 5$ de plus c'est assez ahurissant.
Excellent service! Seul bémol, l'entrée de ma compagne était tiède & le canard manquait d'assaisonnement. La cuisson sous vide ne permet pas d'avoir une cuisson "saignant"
Excellent service, excellents plats. Nous étions 7 & pas une critique négative. Choix un peu limité mais la qualité est au RDV. Fait partie de ma liste depuis 1998 & cela se poursuivra...
Superbe décor, ambiance chaleureuse, service courtois & rapide. Les plats sont honnêtes , goûteux & à un prix abordable. Un coup de coeur de resto apportez votre vin. Nous avons passé une superbe soirée en équipe de travail. Seul petit hic , l'espace est restreint pour accueillir plusieurs groupes à la fois,

My opinion might be biased since I used to an Exec Chef in Montreal, then in the USA & internationally. Comments below:
- Our table was right by the entrance on the buildings beam where waiters constantly passed right on top of us the whole evening; that table shouldn't be used at all
- a Saturday night with no "plat du jour" ?
- no bread offered
- no one poured the wine we brought at least once
- the portions were so small it was like if our steak was cut in two & served to both of us, mostly like 4oz each piece for $33 ? Des frites maison coûte rien
- the beef tartare had more tomatoes & onions then beef, served with only 2 crositinis..
- the restaurant was extremely & abnormally loud
- our table was forgotten for about 20 minutes after we completed our main course
- overall the food was fine, we were served by three different waiters, the last waitresses we had was great at the end & made up for the prior bad service.
- goat cheesecake wasn't great & very small portion. It's the winter - why don't you have any warm or hot desserts ?
All & all, I would not recommend this restaurant & I would not come back. $160 for 2 people, for what we had isn't at all worth it especially since it's a BYOB & we were hungry 1 hour later. As a chef, you can use seasonal ingredients, transform them in house & have a nice reasonably priced menu. Why are there 2 steaks options out of 5 main courses?
Petit resto avec bel ambiance.Très bonne nourriture. Personnel courtois. Nous étions un groupe de 11 personnes & avions un menu de groupe. Tout était parfait
beau resto, bon service, ça devient éventuellement très bruyant .La pieuvre étais super! Mon conjoint à prit le steak frite & il trouvait que la pièce de viande aurais pue être plus délicate pour le prix. En général ont a aimé
Je recommande fortement ce restaurant. L'endroit est magnifique, l'ambiance est chaleureuse, la cuisine est raffinée & savoureuse & le service est impeccable.
Hier, nous y avons célébré un anniversaire. Nous étions un groupe de 16 personnes. Nous avons été servis avec attention, gentillesse & professionnalisme.
Merci à l'équipe de La Prunelle pour une expérience culinaire des plus délicieuses & des plus agréables.
Nous choisirons votre restaurant les yeux fermés pour toutes nos futures célébrations.
