This restaurant is in a great location-just a short walk from the convention center & nearby hotels. The ambience is lovely, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. I appreciated the server's honest recommendation of a seafood dish that was a bit more unique & not something you'd typically find at other restaurants. The prawns were absolutely delicious! I just wish the dish had more prawns & fewer noodles. Overall, I had a great experience.
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.
Soirée incroyable avec mon ami (enfin, je pense que c'était lui… il portait un chapeau bizarre, mais bon, il avait faim).
La nourriture? Wow. J'ai croqué dans une bouchée, je crois que c'était de l'agneau & j'ai eu une révélation existentielle.
Mon ami, lui, a essayé de négocier avec la serveuse pour ramener le chef'chez lui', en lui offrant son chapeau (personne ne sait pourquoi, lui non plus). Le chef a poliment refusé, mais il l'a quand même essayé, & honnêtement, ça lui allait trop bien pour qu'il parte avec.
Bref, 11/10 (ou 12/10 si on compte le pain). Je reviendrai c'est certain mais sans chapeau!
Two of us had an absolutely incredible dining experience here on March 22nd. A big part of that was due to Jean Francois' passion, knowledge & phenomenal customer service. He was kind, attentive, thoughtful & patient with our questions. He truly embodies exemplary client care & hospitality.
The meal was perfect, the atmosphere was fantastic & the location was great. 5 stars without hesitation. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
Merci beaucoup!
Wow ! Une expérience gustative inoubliable, le service est excellent, servi comme des rois & l'ambiance est très bien aussi, car la musique n'est pas trop forte.
servers were great, even opened up the kitchen when they were going to close.
now to the food… this food was the greatest thing in the past 12 months. the best thing were the incredible codballs. the crunchiness & flavor combined with sauce & sour cream was truly divine. criminally underrated. check this restaurant out NOW.
Had dinner at Le Carré last Saturday. The ambiance was cozy & elegant. The service was top-notch & friendly. The food was amazing. Highly recommend for a great dining experience in Montreal.
Je suis venu pour une petite collation… j'ai consulté la carte… & je me suis laissé aller à déguster les crevettes… un régal.. ensuite j'ai opté pour le tatami de thon… sublime…. & enfin pour avoir une petite note sucrée
A sumptuous meal can make people happy physically & mentally. Because its ever-changing flavors always give people a sense of freshness. This taste experience can bring people endless imagination, which is also the endless charm of the Carré.
Excellent restaurant! Food & service were top notch! I enjoyed the burger : multiple layers of flavours & perfect size! The appetizers were tasty! I recommend the gnocchi as well!
