Attentive service & good food. No ice for the water & no air conditioning. Centrally located on Rue St. Paul (busy tourist area). Had some nice menu options for classic French cuisine. A little pricey, but paying for the location.

J'ai mangé deux plats portugais, & c'était le meilleur filet mignon de ma vie. Merci à David pour son superbe service !

Pricey but good if you want the experience of eating in a European setting. Good place to try game meats. We had the Elk, Caribou, Bison & Venison steaks. We also had scallops with chorizo & squid. Seafood tasted fresh. It was a good experience to try them all. We sat outside, which it gave us'la vie Parisienne' vibe. It was a bit annoying the amount of people that stood right next to us having their conversions (good for people watching & gossip 😆) Good place for drinks & Canadian wine.

Very rude host, the older lady with the black-framed glasses was not welcoming at all. Her attitude made us feel uncomfortable from the moment we arrived, which left a poor first impression.

First time in Montreal, & Anthony made our night so memorable! He was sweet, genuinely cared about our table, & was attentive throughout the entire meal. The food was fresh, delicious, & exceeded our expectations. We had such a great experience & will definitely be back the next time we're in Montreal. Highly recommend!

Wonderful service & really excellent French cuisine. They serve the menu from their Portuguese sister restaurant Solmar when it's not open so our group was able to order from a wide variety of options. Location is charming with an upscale rustic feel. We were very well taken care of.
