Très bon restaurant apportez votre vin. Bon verre à vin style spiegle. Tout était bon particulièrement la toaste au champignon, le gâteau au courge & epices. Bon service
La Prunelle is a wonderful restaurant in the Plateau! I take all of my out of town guests there because it always offers a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food & wonderful, attentive & warm staff. I highly recommend La Prunelle!
The dining room is a perfect space, with the windows open allowing the summer breezes coming down from the mountain down Duluth. We were enjoying the evening from the first moment.
We saw reviews saying the salmon tartare was bland but it wasn't. The ris de veau was crispy & delicious. We also had the octopus & a creme brulee. We've been here time & time again. The point of this place is to enjoy yourselves in a classic but casual dining room, & if you can't do that at a BYOW place nothing will satisfy you. The couple who run it do their best to give a great experience. Roll with it & you'll have a great time.
Le contre filet n'était pas tendre & manquait de saveur.
Nous avons commandé l'assiette pain en entrée pour aller avec le plat de champignons (très bon d'ailleurs). Nous étions 4, mais il y avait que 3 tranches. Nous devions diviser 3 tranches & 4 parts. :

Loved your restaurant & the waitress was very charming. Like how you serve the food in reasonably sized portions & you attention to detail. The octopus & the duck were amazing.
I was impressed with the service: I mentioned an unusual dietary restriction when asking about the mains, & before the dessert the waitress came by to explain which ones I would be able to eat, which I thought was very considerate of her. Food was very tasty but with smaller portions, you should get a starter along with the main.
Delicious food! You can bring your own alcohol if each person purchases 1 main or 2 entrée. Grilled bread from Boulangerie Le Toledo, oysters were great & the flavors were strong, interesting & tasty!
One of our favourite spots in the city! We've returned many times & it never disappoints. The atmosphere is chic yet welcoming, with a gorgeous view of the lively street through the large windowfront - such a unique setting.
It's a BYOW French restaurant, which we love, & the food is always excellent. On our last visit, I had the salmon tartare with fries & salad - beautifully plated & delicious - & my boyfriend really enjoyed his classic steak frites. The menu has something for everyone, & the cooking is consistently top-notch.
The service is always professional & attentive without being overbearing. It's clear this place has been around for years for a reason - quality across the board. Highly recommend for a date night or a special meal with friends.
