Ambiente raffinato, accogliente e intimo. Il servizio è gestito in modo meraviglioso e impeccabile. I cocktail sono fatti da basi fresche e preparati ad arte. Il fish & chips ha una frittura super leggera, digeribilissimo anche per chi ha lo stomaco delicato, viene servito con insalata di cavolo (buonissima), salsa tartara ed una mousse squisita.
I feel like I died & went to heaven!! Upon entering, I knew this was going to be a dining experience like no other!! The ambience & decor was tasteful, modern, beautifully decorated & very elegant! I love the turquoise wall & the gold finishes!
The menu was extensive, I would have picked everything on the menu (as they all sounded delicious)!!
We started off with cocktails, which were garnished & presented so beautifully!!
We had the Scallops ceviche, the burrata & the beef tartare...OMG!!! Soooo pleasing to the eye, & palate; delicious!!
My main was the fresh pasta with duck confit (first time having duck confit)...I was in food HEAVEN!!! So savoury, so delicious, so creamy, the pasta was fresh & cooked to al dente; the peas were sweet & the cream was flavored beautifully!! so tasty, so yummy!!
The service was impeccable; very attentive, & efficient! This dinner was an absolute pleasure! I just wish I could go there every night (however, I had to come back to Toronto! :(

Service here was absolutely wonderful. My cocktail was great too. Several servers came by to ask if we needed anything & we were very well taken care of.
My issue was with the food.
I ordered'crab ravioli with candied fennel'
My dish did not contain fennel. It contained leeks- which taste nothing like fennel.
Not only was it the incorrect item- they were cut into crude stalk- fibrous hard & inedible.
If, as a restaurant; you run out of a key ingredient that is listed as an ingredient on your menu, it's your responsibility to let the customer know. I might love fennel & dislike leeks. There were more stalks of leeks in my plate than there were ravioli.
The ravioli were not filled with much crab.
The desserts were lovely- & again; the staff was great.
The soft dinner rolls were delicious with the spicy butter.
The wagyu burger is out of this world, it was cooked to perfection juicy & tender. The charred broccoli was so different than anything I've had & I was so delighted. The cocktails were amazing too. The mojito Carre was smooth yet distinguished. The old fashioned Carre was smooth & classic. The star of the show besides the amazing service, friendly staff & perfect bread was the crème brûlée, the best I've ever had.
Pleasant surprise. I was struggling to find last minute reservations during Canadian Thanksgiving. Found this place on Google map. The fusion food was great. A lot of thought went into the balance of taste & presentation. Cocktails were spot on. One of the best travel meal this yea
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.
Expérience moyen-correcte. Cocktail : ok Entrée : calmars, quelconque, je n'ai pas aimé. Plat : tartare de thon était bon, tartare de saumon aussi, les frites moyennes ; Dessert : crème brûlée : excellente, c'etait le point fort du chef, je me suis régalé avec ma conjointe. Le service : courtois & sympathique. L'ambiance feutrée est sympa, un peu bruyante. Un point d'incompréhension : vendez-vous le pain/beurre ou vous l'offrez au nombre de clients par table ou par ce qu'il prend? Car je pensais en avoir & finalement non. Ça reste très cher au global.

We stumbled upon this cute restaurant on the bottom floor of our hotel. Very unassuming at first but once you step in the atmosphere is great but the food was so enjoyable. Real value for your money. The dishes were full of fresh flavor & very filling. The cocktails were created with intention making every sip tasty. We plan to return on our next trip.
Delicious food served in a cozy & chic atmosphere. The service was impeccable, fast & professional. My partner loved his cocktail. Definitely recommend the place ! We had wagyu carpaccio & cauliflower for starters, duck & swordfish for main, & the crème brûlée was surprisingly tasty.
Le Carré ne se contente pas seulement de délectables mets, mais compte également sur une équipe exceptionnelle. Mathieu, le barman, jongle avec les cocktails comme un magicien avec ses tours, créant des potions magiques qui enchantent nos palais. & que dire d'Eloi, le serveur au charme irrésistible ? Sa dextérité à manier les plateaux équivaut à une danse gracieuse, tout en gardant un sourire contagieux. Une mention spéciale s'impose également pour l'équipe en cuisine, où l'art culinaire atteint des sommets grâce aux talents de Joey, Alex & Cam. Le trio magique en cuisine complète parfaitement l'expérience inoubliable qu'offre Le Carré.
Wow, what an experience! I had the great fortune to attend a private dinner here & it was absolutely fantastic! They welcomed us with open arms & catered to our special requests. Jeff, the bartender, is creative & skilled -- I recommend giving the cocktail menu a try. The food was impeccable, from plating to taste, from apps to dessert -- every bite was a burst of flavor. Service was top notch, this group is at the top of their game. Try the smoked salmon, the cod, the chicken, & the coconut pannacotta. An absolute must on any dining list!!
