I had the pleasure of eating at Le Carre today for a light lunch. The burratta served with garden tomatoes & pesto was excellent & extremely flavourful. The salmon appetizer was plated with asparagus wrapped in seaweed paper & a lovely fresh lemon hollandaise sauce. Our waiter was charming & attentive while allowing us to enjoy our experience. I will be sure to dine here again the next time I am in Montreal.View more

Service was excellent. The concept & presentation of dishes is outstanding. The taste & execution not so great. Our appetizer of burrata & tomato salad was delicious. The main dish was stuffed chicken & unfortunately, it was extremely dry, overcooked & with a high acidity content which made the plate difficult to eat. I don't recommend this restaurant.View more

Le Carré is a fine place to get a nice dinner if you're around. Service in English was great, & all around I felt very attended to. Staff were professional & knew what they were talking about. The food was good, though some plates were a little dated. I think the chef needs to relax on the microgreens on the next menu overhaul, they were on every dish we had (even the lemon pie dessert!). We ordered the charred broccoli as an appetizer, which was very tasty, though the broccoli could use a little time in a steamer perhaps as they were a touch hard. Flavours on the plate were very good, well thought out. Probably a 3.5/5 (mainly due to the micros, & only getting 2 pieces of grilled peach [one of which still had a piece of pit on!]) I had the grilled octopus as my main, & it was wonderful. The octopus literally melted in my mouth. The corn salad was very good as well, but I feel the chorizo could have been incorporated into the dish better, it provided & excellent salty/spicy component to the dish, but the grilled bias cut seems a little out of place considering the general „fanciness" of the place. 4.5/5 My wife got the gnocchi (she's vegetarian & it's the only vegetarian main on the menu, definitely room for improvement there), & I was genuinely surprised at the quality. Very very flavourful. Once again the plating could use some touching up, but when the food tastes that good, it doesn't really matter. 5/5 Finally, we shared a piece of lemon „pie". This was more of a deconstructed tart than a pie, & probably the biggest miss of the dinner. Flavour-wise was very good. The curd was luxuriously smooth, & the „exotic salsa" (a mélange of brunoise mango & other yellow fruit that I couldn't place) was really tasty. Unfortunately the base crust of the „pie" wasn't very good. The menu listed it as „short bread" & while technically true, turned out as more resembling the dry cookie part of a Jaffa cake than anything I would consider a „short bread" in the context of a lemon tart/pie. Also, just a massive bunch of undressed microgreens on the plate. What purpose did they serve? I ate them, & can tell you they served 0 purpose. Had it been a sprig of mint it would still be a dated plate, but at least the mint tastes like stuff. 2.5/5 (for $15, I was unimpressed) Overall, good! Though a bit pricey. With 2 drinks, our total was $160, but the service did make up for it a bit. Be warned! This restaurant is attached to a hotel, so if you're looking for a nice, quiet, adults-only dinner, maybe look elsewhereView more

I had 2 cocktails, appetizer, main & dessert for total $120 crazy tax included. It's decent French food for a great budget. Not a tourist trap as many others in the area. Bar seats are not crowded if you come 5 or 5:30. They have an English menu. Don't be shy & ask. They know I speak so little French & trying to pretend fancy but did not laugh at me.View more

Everything is perfect here for me. 1. Shrimp appetizer: the sauce combined with vegetable created an interesting & unique harmony for the dish. Unfortunately one of the shrimp wasn't fresh for me. (I'm from ocean city, might be more picky) 2. Lamb variation: love the three version of the lamb in one dish. The combination of the vegetable & sauce added on additional layer for the taste. 3. Stuffed chicken: sauce was the highlight. Very light but tasty. 4. Love my sangria, refreshing drink for a hot summer lunch. 5. Bread is very good too. Hot & warm. Love the spiciness in the butter. 6. Amazing service. Sorry didn't get his name, but I had wonderful time there.View more

Alex is an amazing host who was able to arrange a last minute reservation for our group of 4 by going above & beyond. The most surprisingly positive interaction with a restaurant by phone I’ve ever had the pleasure of having.
Main courses were all spectacular (swordfish, wagyu burger, & salmon tartare), & so was the crème brulée. Maybe the appetizer we had was the weakest link: would not recommend the charred broccoli as it was just ok.View more
