Repas excellent, rapport qualité prix très très bon. Fait terrasse avec fenêtres ouvertes. Belle soirée, limite pour le bruit & pour le service trop pressé. Mais on y retournera absolument.
Overall we loved this restaurant. It has a very relaxed vibe, has a patio feel to it with its open windows & an interesting menu with a table d'hote that features local items. My meal was amazing so 5 stars start to finish - I had the mushroom appetizer & the table d'hote scallop dish. Those who ordered the steak were a bit more disappointed - very tasty sauce but a cheaper cut of beef nonetheless. & a bring your own wine with an SAQ right around the corner. Service was pleasant & when she forgot our desserts she offered us one on the house. I would definitely go back
Je trouve que la portion de poisson que j'ai prise n'était pas généreuse. & il n'est pas nécessaire de prendre une entrée.
Le fromage à la citronnelle (je pense) était trop amère .
Bien situé, ambiance urbaine, une nourriture délectable, un menu varié & un propriétaire charmant & généreux. Un must à Montréal; fidélité assurée! Merci à l'ensemble de l'équipe La Prunelle pour mes 3 expériences mémorables.
