Best dining experience I've had in Montreal hands down! Each plate we had just kept getting better & better. I recommend getting a bunch of different plates so that you can share at the table. The waiters & rest of the staff are so warm & really make you feel like you can enjoy your meal. No one rushes you out. Hospitality at its finest! Definitely coming back!
Really lovely French restaurant! Showcases classic French dishes prepared with careful attention to flavor & technique. From the appetizers to the mains & desserts, everything is well-executed. The sauces are rich, the proteins are cooked perfectly, & the ingredients taste fresh. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, & the staff are welcoming & knowledgeable. Great place for a date night or a special dinner with friends. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality & ambiance make it worthwhile.
Very expensive for a not so memorable meal. I had the tasting menu, which was quite disappointing. The amusebouche of fish & strawberries tasted only of strawberries. The scallops were good, but not spectacular. The pre dessert was nice, but the dessert was nothing to write home about. I actually don't even remember what it was. The sommelier was very interesting, but the wine, although good, was way overpriced. The evening cost close to $600 for 2 people, which is unreasonable. That being said, my husband enjoyed his steak.
Excellent food. We had the scallops, striped bass, octopus & lamb all perfectly cooked. dessert was the best - millefueille to die for. Great service.
One note of complaint - the music in the restaurant was very annoying - hodgepodge of music - 50's hits one minute then r&b the next & different genres after that. Music should set the vibe of the restaurant. This playlist contributed nothing to the vibe except being annoying. How about some soft jazz, lounge music or easy listening to set the tone of such good food.
It took well over an hour to be seated beyond our reservation time. The staff were apologetic, but the overall experience was significantly ruined by the extreme delay. The food was objectively good with one or two dishes being a little strange, but it was better than average. The cocktails were mixed, the bartender downstairs was clearly more experienced, I sent the drink from the restaurant back & had them send one from the bar downstairs. The subsequent rush of our tasting menu also ruined the experience, we had a previous appointment that was now forcing a fast dinner thanks to the late seating. What could have been a nice experience was ultimately ruined by a lack of management, staff that'tried' but clearly didn't have the ability or authority to make any real consolations for the situation. I wouldn't go here again, there are dozens of better options in Montreal.
