Possibly the finest dining experience of my life up to this point. The care & attention to detail every step of the way was absolutely unparalleled. Aside from the food being borderline perfect (I will dream of the arctic char in buttermilk sauce for the rest of my days, & I've never liked a piece of lobster so much), the chefs explained every dish in exacting detail, while also being cool as hell the whole time. They gave us personalized recommendations for other places to visit during our stay in Montreal (bangers, all), & were just so personable & kind. I asked for them to keep onions to a minimum, as I have an intolerance; not only did they flawlessly adapt their dishes, they made a point to come explain to me personally how those changes would affect the dish. I felt like I was being fed by extraordinarily talented friends. I will make a point to return anytime I have the opportunity.

We spent a total of four hours at the restaurant, & I have to praise the space-it's incredibly comfortable & spacious, with cozy chairs. The overall atmosphere was warm & inviting! The staff were both enthusiastic & gentle, always smiling, which made it feel like they genuinely enjoyed their work. The whole evening was relaxing & pleasant, making it a perfect place for dining & conversation.

Food & Wine:
When I first saw the menu, I was excited-everything I love was there! From shellfish, lobster, & scallops to beef, fish, & duck-I was really looking forward to it. However, in terms of pairing, the wine selection & sequence were even better than the dishes themselves! The portions weren't overwhelming, just the right amount, & you could really feel the chef's dedication & passion in every dish. Each course seemed carefully crafted to be delicious.

The Downside:
Since every dish was a highlight, none of them truly stood out. There wasn't much connection between the courses, which made the overall three-hour experience feel somewhat lacking in cohesion. The seafood proportion was quite high, leading to some clashes in flavors. A few dishes had a slight fishy taste, & overall, I found the seasoning a bit on the salty side.

Came here on a Saturday night & glad I booked a month in advance because it was fully booked! as I walked in I was greeted with the staff's big smile & the dimmed slights made everything so moody & perfect. We sat near at the bar with a good view of the kitchen so our experience was much better as I got to see how the chefs collaborated while I indulged in all the dishes. Owner & chef Antonin Mousso was super friendly & very passionate about bringing the produces from Montreal some creativity & uniqueness, I was awed by all his dishes packed with umami & so much flavor. we enjoyed half wine pairing & the sommelier was super knowledgeable & friendly. I loved my experience here every single customer seemed to be having such a wonderful time!

I can't give anything less than 5 stars for food & service. The foie gras amuse bouche was the best thing I tasted all year... until the morel course which was just wow. The chef explained to my Celiac partner the modifications made before each dish & we hugely appreciated that attention to detail. The price point is high but you see exactly how it translates to the ingrediants selected. I'd prefer slightly higher salinity but it makes sense to keep it muted with these dishes. The only way to make the experience perfect would be to speed up service. We arrived at 6 for a 615 reservation &, had we stayed till the natural end of service, would have been sitting on bar stools for 4 hours. A long service is normal for tasting menus but 4 hours is really pushing most folks' endurance. If they could pull it into 3 hours, it would be perfect. Wine pairings were AMAZING & actually very well priced. More (white) wines from Quebec would be interesting. The non alcoholic juice pairing was less successful. Some of them simulated strongly flavored alcohol containing cocktails & wine. My partner ordered the juices because she doesn't like those flavors. Overall, best meal of the year so far & this Montreal trip has already been full of bangers. I've read a lot of the other reviews & they seem to be really taking into account the odd time when it's not just 5 stars omg! That kind of responsiveness should be praised. We'll be back!!!
