Amazing dinner. Went for my birthday. The halloumi appetizer was delicious. Our entrees were incredible. We went with our four year old son & they were absolutely accommodating & made delicious pasta for him as well. Rum punch was delicious. Our waiter, Felix, provided incredible service as well as the recommendation for the crispy maple squares dessert - MUST TRY - as well as other recommendations around Montreal. The seafood rissoto was delicious. Already considering going back again even though we're in town less than a week. Highly recommend!
It was a great experience dining at restaurant le carré. Scallop dish was good, but not top. On the other hand, we loved their duck pasta. Hearty but not too heavy/oily for the stomach. At the end, we asked Jean-François for a recommendation for a small dish to finish off our meal. He recommended the brussel sprouts dish garnished with cumin & pear sauce, which we loved. It was the perfect light ending for our meal that did not overwhelm us. Oh & JF also made our drink (passion carré) which was the right amount of sweet & sour. Thank you for the amazing experience!
Absolutely LOVED the food & vibes of this beautiful place! I had a mule, fish & chips, & lemon pie. My colleague had the pasta, the lavender mule, & creme brule. We loved our little table by the window. Service was excellent!! Thank you for a wonderful meal & experience!! ❤?❤?❤?
Visited in the summer of 2025, had an amazing meal. Even the starter bread & butter was such a good combination. Highlight's from the main included the duck confit pasta, the sauce was rich & lots of depth to the dish. Dessert was a dish that included ice cream & it was flat out best vanilla ice cream ever, so dense & smooth tasting. Overall, highly recommend!
Since Le Carre is attached to a hotel, I expected a corporate style restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised to see they arent afraid to serve good food with an interesting twist.
The calamari & salad were solid starters, & the pea & leek soup was fantastic. The sea bass was quite impressive with a lot of sour notes-almost too much but I appreciate the unique flavor. They nicely split the octopus for us. The streak was tender & I highly recommend the duck pasta.
Desserts were nicely plated & garnished: I wasnt sure what to expect with the brownie but it was rather crispy & elegantly plated. The creme brulee was nice & thin & came out flaming.
Service was good throughout the night, & the interior is small but elegant.
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! :(
Went to Le Carré for lunch with a friend. It was a first for both of us & we were wowed with every dish!
Not only was the food delicious, but the extra touches on the presentation made everything that much more enjoyable. We started with the Grilled Halloumi, followed by the Duck Confit Pasta & Seared Gnocchi & Mushrooms, all generous portions of perfection on a plate. For dessert we went with the Amaretto Mascarpone & Crème Brulée, both amazing.
My friend & I reserved for lunch at Le Carré & what a treat it was. Food wise we shared the grilled Halloumi entrée, had different pasta dishes & dessert. Portions were good enough, well presented & simply delicious.
The service was prompt, attentive & polite. We truly discovered a little gem.
Went for dinner with my mom & we ordered the lamb & duck confit pasta per recommendation. The duck confit pasta was heavenly & very filling! The lamb was super tender & I loved the baba ganoush but I felt the sauces were a bit too sweet so the plate lacked balance. The veggies were glazed too so there were too many sweet things. Otherwise, the lamb itself was so good. Their salad is also amazing, I recommend it. My mom & I did not get drinks, shared a salad & shared dessert, so it came to only $60 per person & we were very full & satisfied. We will be back to try other dishes!!
