Wonderful French restaurant in Montreal! 🇫🇷✨
The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing, especially with the live piano music that made the evening feel truly special & romantic. The beautiful, elegant interior creates a real French dining experience. The escargots were incredibly delicious - definitely some of the best I've ever had. The salmon with mushrooms in white wine was also outstanding, perfectly cooked & full of flavor.
Special thanks for the excellent service - the staff was attentive, professional, & made the whole evening even more enjoyable. A perfect place for a memorable dinner with great ambiance, beautiful piano music, & fantastic food. We will definitely come back again!
My friend & I had the most wonderful dining experience here & would recommend highly. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome & at home as guests & friends rather than just customers. The food was absolutely excellent so very high praise to the chef/owner & his team but what made it all even better was the amazing service we received from Meghan. She recommended food & wine & was utterly charming. We are sorry we didn't discover this wonderful restaurant sooner but will definitely be back on our next trip to Montreal. Thank you for such a lovely evening!
La différence entre le père & le fils est frappante. Le fils est adorable & professionnel, tandis que le gérant manque clairement de respect & de savoir-vivre avec les clients , mal élevé j'assume ce que je dit , Un simple bonjour semblait déjà trop demander. Très mauvaise expérience au niveau humain. Je vous déconseille fortement
We used to come here every time we visited Montreal back between about 2002 to 2007 & the food, service & ambiance were always first rate & never disappointed. My wife just wondered whether the restaurant & Kazim were still there & I was pleasantly surprised to see they both are. We just decided to make the 6 hour drive not only to revive memories of Montreal but also to partake in the culinary delights offered here. So, in short, based on the reviews I've seen it is still first rate & hoping to see Kazim & enjoy his marvelous creations.
