About

La Prunelle emphasizes a market-driven approach to French cuisine that highlights the technical precision required for high-quality preparation. The menu centers on raw meat delicacies, featuring a diverse selection of tartares that serve as the focal point of the culinary program. Ingredients undergo minimal processing to preserve their natural flavor profiles while maintaining the core characteristics of traditional regional cooking. The kitchen operations prioritize consistency through a rotating roster of seasonal offerings derived from available local produce. Each composition balances textural contrasts against bold seasoning choices, ensuring every plate delivers a direct expression of the primary component. This commitment to focused preparation techniques results in a streamlined experience that avoids unnecessary complexity while maintaining rigorous standards for freshness and ingredient integrity across the entire menu.

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?

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.
