Located in the Philips Square district, a few steps from the Quartier des Spectacles and the Bell Center, Le Carré offers Mediterranean-influenced cuisine, inspired by local Quebec products, based on the quality of the products that compose it.

The intimate setting makes it a good choice for celebrations or a special night out, though seating is limited and pacing can vary. Overall the experience combines quality, creativity and warmth, inviting return visits.
One of kind... Food was mind blowing & is there service. All dishes we ordered was good... but KAMOURASKA SPRING LAMB VARIATION & FRIED CAULIFLOWER was exceptional for sure. Though it was a walk in to this restaurant, they treated us like they know us for ages. Highly recommend to try if you are near Philips square & look for nice place to eat.
This is a small dining room with friendly & attentive service. The food is amazing, & I don't say that often. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The duck confit pasta is a generous portion of rich, meaty, & creamy fresh pasta that I want to eat over & over again. The arancini is large & crispy. The brownie was, well, perfect. Served slightly warm, it had a crackly top with the perfect balance between fudgy & cakey. Because it is a small space, guests are welcomed by being offered tables that they must vacate within 90 minutes, which is a tad annoying when that is the first experience you get from this restaurant. We were able to select a table that they said did not have a "time limit", however. I look forward to going back!
Everyone in my party separately mentioned their meal placed in their top 10 meals of all time. Best caesar salad I've ever had. Incredible menu & staff!! A must go.

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.
Un très bon accueil & un service irréprochable. Le repas était délicieux. Seul bémol, musique un peu trop forte Nous avons pris les pâtes au canard & le tartare de saumon. Pour le dessert nous avons pris la crème brûlée & le brownie. Le tout accompagné de vin.
J'ai adoré !!! Belle découverte à Montréal pour un souper de filles. L'ambiance tamisée très agréable, le service incroyable, attentionné & discret. Des plats esthétiques & excellents. Bref, une adresse que je recommande vivement. Rapport Qualité/Prix, ça vaut la peine.
We may have caught them on a bad night. We enjoyed exactly half of what we ordered - sadly the charred broccoli tasted rather raw & burned & the marinated octopus was overcooked.. & VERY marinated. Staff was very friendly but could have been more attentive. I got my main course without having cutlery & had to ask for it as my food was slowly getting cold. In summary we came with great expectations & were rather disappointed. At 230$ it wasn't exactly a steal either.
Juste parfait. Accueil, service, suggestions.... La nourriture incroyable. Les pâtes au canard, les crevettes limoncello, le saumon, le chou-fleur... wow. Nous avons partagés 3 entrées & 1 plat principal (que l'on a gentiment séparé en deux assiettes) .
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.
Went to dine at this restaurant tonight which is located in our hotel. The staff were amazing & kept filing our drinks, even when it was water. The food, wow....it was delicious! From the octopus, to the scallops, to the meats & desserts, we just couldn't stop eating. The ambiance was warm & welcoming. The went the extra mile to make the kids & adults to feel special. Can't wait to return for some more!!! Shawn & Electra & Kids
