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!

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!

Tried this restaurant for lunch. The clientele is mostly corporate people, which makes for a nice atmosphere. The food was very good, & the service was solid as well.

We had the burrata & tomato & the smoked salmon as starters, followed by the grilled tuna & salmon tartare as mains. Everything was delicious. I would definitely go back.

Street parking is available, but spots are limited.

VEGANS can choose from gnocchi with mushrooms & pesto (as a main), fried cauliflower with mouhamara sauce, or Brussels sprouts (entrés).

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!!

After doing some research we chose to come to Le Carré for my wife's birthday & it did not disappoint! First & foremost from the first sip of the soup du jour the food was absolutely amazing. We had chicken in a delicious red pepper sauce & the steak which was perfect rare. James our waiter guided us through each step of our meal. The pride the entire staff takes in maintaining quality while being down to earth is quite evident. Very impressed & will be back the next time we visit!

We visited on a week day for lunch. I'm glad we waited until close to one as the place is very crowded with people on lunch break & it is not very large.

We were greeted warmly & shown to our table. Drink service was prompt.

I ordered Tuna Tartare & my companion ordered Cod fish & chips. Both were delightful. The sauce on the tuna was a perfect complement along with the arugula salad on the side. The Cod was fried to perfection with a very light flaky batter. Both included fries which were salted with just the right amount.

We lingered & ordered dessert. Our server recommended the Maple Crunch squares, which was a great suggestion. It was just the right balance of savory & sweet.

Last night, we had the most incredible dining experience at Le Carré in Montreal. The ambiance was chic yet inviting, perfect for a night of indulgence. The evening started with an exceptional dish featuring grilled octopus served over roasted potatoes & a refreshing yogurt-based sauce. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with a smoky touch from the octopus & a light tang from the sauce. We also had a creamy pasta dish that paired wonderfully with our glass of red wine. Speaking of wine, Le Carré's selection was delightful. The rich red we chose enhanced every bite of our meal. As we toasted to a great evening, the warm, stylish atmosphere of the restaurant added to the magic of the night. Le Carré is a gem for anyone visiting Montreal who appreciates fine dining.

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.

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.
