Très beau restaurant & bon menu, excellent service, le seul bémol la cuisson de la viande (onglet) n'était pas telle que demandée (un saignant a reçu une cuisson médium & un medium a reçu une cuisson bien cuite), les deux seuls à notre tables qui avaient commandé les onglets. Le tartare au saumon était excellent.

Très belle expérience comme à chaque fois ! La carte, simple, offre des plats fraîchement préparés & bons. La terrasse était encore ouverte (12 octobre), ce qui à nous permis d'avoir un dîner très agréable. Le personnel est très attentionné & serviable, je recommande !
Always a wonderful dinner at La Prunelle. The food, staff & ambience make this a great neighbourhood restaurant for us &, it appears, for many who travel further than the neighborhood!
Of the many great BYO wine places on the Plateau, this is the sweetest & most charming. We've been coming to Montreal for many years for vacation, & we have always visited La Prunelle at least once during our visits. The food is consistently fabulous, & the wait staff are exceptionally warm & welcoming. We love this restaurant!
