Vraiment impressionnée par la beauté de la présentation des assiettes, ainsi que le choix de plats même sur le menu de groupe. Tout était delicieux. Le service était correct mais aurait pu être plus attentionné.

La Prunelle will always hold a very special place for me & my family. The first time I dined there was during my final year of high school on a tour of McGill University. When I was lucky enough to get in, my family & I would always go back to La Prunelle when they visited me. Now, almost 10 years later as a McGill alumni, any trip back to Montreal wouldn't be complete without a stop at this lovely restaurant. The quality of the dishes have always impressed me; they are creative, delicious, & unassuming without ever being pretentious. The menu constantly evolves, which makes it a pleasure to always return. But equally important to the experience is the atmosphere. Whether visiting in summer or winter, the place is always welcoming & comfortable, never exhausting as some fine dining restaurants can be. The staff has consistently been highly attentive & kind, especially to me & my family who are from Toronto. I will always recommend this restaurant & eagerly await my next visit. Thank you for all the meals over the years.
La nourriture était bien mais le service inégal. Il y avait un groupe malheureusement très bruyant qui a un peu gâché la soirée. Mais ça, le resto n'y peux rien.

Très bon service ainsi que la nourriture! Les desserts toutefois, nous ont malheureusement pas impressionnés.
Je recommande l'endroit pour un bon souper poortez votrw vin entre amis :)
J'ai mangé là dans le cadre de mtlatable, & serieusement j'ai été un peu déçue. J'ai commandé un potage pour l'entrée, des gnudi au feta pour le plat principal & une crème brûlée aux framboises pour le dessert. Le potage était MINUSCULE (genre, 4 cuillères & c'est fini) mais il était délicieux. Pour ce qui est du plat principal, encore une fois très petit, il était pas très bon. & le dessert je l'ai meme pas fini tellement c'etait décevant! Je comprends que c'est une table d'hôte moins chère, mais reste que les portions aussi petites, ainsi que le goût manqué des plats, ont rendu mon expérience un peu moins bonne que je m'y attendais.
Une soirée formidable! Accueuil chaleureux, service compétent, & une cuisine raffinée: des accras de morue délicieux, tartare de truite frais & bien relevé, des pâtes parfaites! Ce n'est pas un secret bien gardé, puisqu'ils font 2 services tous les soirs... & c'est plein ! Je le recommande sans réserve!
