I was very impressed with this restaurant, very good atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious the tuna tartare was a standout, & the steak was perfectly tender & flavourful. We'll definitely be coming back
This was my favorite restaurant while visiting in Montreal for the first time. Tried almost everything on the menu & everything tasted amazing. I didn't get to take a picture of everything we tried because it was so good! Additionally, the staff were very professional & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I am definitely a loyal customer here! It my favorite restaurant in Montreal! They make the best mix of Japanese & western cuisine!
Everything is perfect! Super stable outcome, great balance, great selection (although is a very classic small menu however does not affects the great taste, because they often have seasonal dish that is not on the menu!) great food, great service, great atmosphere!
I come so often that you can tell from my photos, my most frequent score was 4 times in a months.
I love Le filet so much that I made a video about it 10/10! 💗✌🏻👏🏻✨✨✨✨✨
I would recommend everything on the menu except the Poisson à la volée & Le flanc de porc.
Extrêmement décevant de la part du restaurant avec la facture de 400 dollars pour 2 personnes de ne pas avoir un sommelier. C'est excellent pour les gens qui voudraient appareiller eux même leurs vins au plats, mais pour nous malheureusement avec'choisissez entre Chablis & Riesling' ça se transforme à'apportez votre vin' mais au prix excessivement cher.
Sinon certains plats sont excellents, comme par exemple le ceviche de dorade - frais, saveurs équilibrés, croquants. Pour les autres c'est une déception, comme le tartare de Thor qui regorge d'huile de sesame grillé ou les gemelli au joues de veaux braisés pour lesquels la présence de fois gras n'apporte rien - ça reste les pâtes mais à 40 dollars.
Bref, à ce prix c'est malheureusement une déception.
Un coup de coeur assuré! Ma conjointe & moi avons été le 22 juillet dernier & WOW ! Les plats sont soignés & raffinés, l'ambiance est magnifique avec le long bar, la cuisine ouverte est un petit plus & que dire du service de Rose, qui a été impeccable...je vous le recommande & j'y retournerai assurément!!!

Back here now 10 times since the last review. Hands down our favourite restaurant in Montreal. Food is incredible, great vibe. Kitchen is a marvel to watch as they prepare food. It does not matter which dish you try, they are all impeccable. Always have the fish of the week/day, which was a masterpiece. Choice of wine & service is 10/10.
Old review 2024
Wow a true 10/10 in every ways. Top 5 places in Montreal for sure. Food exceptional. Wine amazing. Service super super. Wow. Kudos to the owners. Rare find.
Portion des assiettes très petites, pour le prix c'est trop., pour être honnête j'aurai du prendre un deuxième plats principal pour être rassasié.
Nourriture excellente, malheureusement revenu chez moi j'ai du me nourrir à nouveau.
Ça c'est non.
Super endroit en face du parc
Terrasse tranquille
Service impeccable & attentionné
Les huîtres aux jalapeno sont supers
Le tartare de thon au délicieux
Belle sélections de vins principalement français
