This place feels like a neighborhood spot but the food is an elevated, five-star experience. The food was beautiful to look at & magical in your mouth. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions & helped us design a menu that worked around ours. We sat at the bar (which is also the kitchen) which enabled us to watch all the action - highly recommend for added fun! & customer service? Imagine leaving your hat behind at the restaurant, & the bartender dropping it off at your hotel the next morning! Extraordinary. This was an overall stellar dining experience & the perfect end to our trip to Montreal.
I can call Le Chien Fumant my favorite restaurant in Montréal. The food is amazing & the flavours makes want to come back for more. The Quebec Lamb is my favorite dish & usually the daily specials are a great pick. The cheese selection & oysters are excellent of course with the great wine selection that they have completes the experience. You must always keep space for dessert. Top notch service from the owners to everyone works there Highly recommended for a date night, can't wait to be back!
The perfect dining experience. Service was friendly & attentive. The dishes were inventive & flavorful. You can feel the care & artistry of the chef's team. Highly recommend!
Came here for my birthday as I was told by several people how amazing the restaurant is. & let me tell you.... It did not disappoint. I had originally heard about their truffle gnocchi however, when we got there, the waiter informed us that there was no truffle gnocchi at the time since they were not able to source good quality truffle - while slightly disappointed, I appreciated the waiters honesty & the restaurants commitment to QUALITY.
We took the tasting menu (you can choose a budget from $100-$360) of $100 per person & we left the restaurant completely full. The portions were perfect, everything was so delicious.
The waiter explained that you don't necessarily get more food if you choose a more expensive tasting menu, rather, you'll see items of higher quality like caviar & wagyu.
The $100 tasting menu included Korean beef tartare, razor clams, cherry tomatoes with a feta & cream cheese mix, lamb chops, scallops, & the piece de resistance... veal chop with a creamy linguine on top. However, you can customize the tasting menu to your liking so it can look very different from table to table.
The food was perfection, scallops were tender, lamb & veal as well. Nothing lacked flavour - we were honestly very impressed.
& can't forget to mention the service... incredible. For a restaurant that doesn't look like much from the outside, the food will blow you away. Highly recommend you visit!
Incredible meal in a chill environment. We went with a taster menu that hit every high note: fresh & rare ingredients combined with refined presentation & flavors. The wine list is spectacular, & the staff is incredibly knowledgeable & worldly. Will definitely dine there again, & would highly recommend to all those who love good food without the pretentiousness.
