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!
The steak was literally perfect, something I have never encountered before. Each bite cooked just rare enough to be succulent & beyond delicious, I could find absolutely nothing to critique. The chef is a true master, & the ambiance & our waiter were lovely.
Toujours aussi bon. Top qualité sans prétention. Une cuisine exceptionnelle. Service impeccable & sympathique.. en bref... un incontournable pour passer une belle soirée.
Les cocktails n'étaient pas bon(même si on avait commandé des cocktails classique). Le service un peu rude. On ne s'entendait pas du tout parce que la music était trop forte (recommandations : mettre des panneaux sonore pour absorber le son) mais la nourriture était délicieux. Je pense que je suis rendue vieille & ce n'est plus le vibe que j'aime.
qualité de la nourriture impeccable.. le mélange des saveurs top aussi.. seul bémol, carte des vins un peu chère.. super service on aime ça les gens qualifiés...
Bon service, bonne qualité de nourriture, mais stationnement difficile, petit endroit & un peu plus dispendieux que ce que ça devrait être. Bonne expérience en générale.
Absolutely one of the best meals & experiences we ever had. We were lucky sit at the bar & engage in conversation with our professional waiter & also the owners/chefs. I did put trust in our waiter to design the meal according to his recommendations, & I was. not disappointed. We essentially did a quasi tasting menu. When I saw a beautiful truffle, being shaved over the most creamy gnocchi, I knew I'd be reaching deep in my pocket, but I just didn't care. He recommended a wonderful bordeaux in the mid price (not highest) range, & it balanced perfectly with everything. We were lucky to be there towards closing & that allowed us to talk to both the owner & some regulars sitting at the bar. We listened to them debate the restaurant scene in Montreal with energy & passion, all for our benefit. I know I'm gushing over this restaurant, but it is for good reason. Do not miss this one.
