Tout était PARFAIT! Nous avons beaucoup aimé l'ambiance & avons trouvé tous les plats délicieux. Le tartare de boeuf & les crevettes géantes sont définitivement 2 incontournables!
I asked for the waiter's suggestion on drink, appetizer & main dish & he was perfect. I can't remember the cocktail name, but I had the tartare & the truffle gnocchi & they were absolutely amazing. Service was impeccable & the ambiance was good.

Toujours aussi fantastique. Mets de création culinaire haut de gamme dans une ambiance chaleureuse. & que dire du personnel attentif qui rendent l'expérience encore plus mémorable.
C'était ma troisième visite au Chien Fumant. Le service est parfait, l'ambiance est super, & la côte de boeuf est préparée à merveille. Un must quand je suis de passage à Montréal.
What a gem! High end French cuisine with a friendly & attentive staff. I ordered the duck & it was the best I have ever had. Great caviar selection, too! A great high-end experience without all the pretense!
Nous étions 4 pour l'anniversaire de ma conjointe, la nourriture est originale & exquise, le service est hors du commun. Nous recommandons vraiment ce restaurant, les petites attentions du personnel nous ont permis de vivre une expérience inoubliable, nous y retournerons....
