We had an excellent evening at Le Serpent in Montreal. From start to finish, everything was outstanding.

We were served by Mia, who was incredibly nice, kind, charming, & always smiling. She had a wonderful attitude & treated us exceptionally well throughout the evening. She was patient, explained the wines very well, & took the time to explain each dish to us, which really helped us make the right choices.

The service was excellent. The food arrived very quickly & at a perfect pace, while still allowing us to take our time & enjoy the evening. Everything was brought out together & the timing was very well managed.

As for the food, everything we ordered was excellent. We started with the zucchini flowers, oysters, & foie gras. For our mains, we had the bison with spanakopita, the lobster risotto, & the spicy spaghetti. For dessert, we had the tarte à la pêche, the parfait au chocolat, & the ricotta with strawberry & raspberry. Every single dish was delicious.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, both for the food & the service. A special thank you to Mia for making our evening even more enjoyable. We would most definitely come back & highly recommend Le Serpent.

Came to Montreal on a bit of a food tour for a few days, & this is one of the BEST restaurants ive ever eaten at! We had appetizers, salad, mains, desserts & drinks. Everything was on point! The Crudos were fresh & packed full of flavour! Pasta beautifully done, Bison was excellent, the desserts were delicate. Our server, Eric, was outstanding! He knew everything about the menu, explained it thoroughly & the service was top notch! These are all the reasons why this restaurant has a Michelin Star! Thank you & Well done!!

Une soirée réussie au Serpent, dans le Quartier de l'Innovation, où l'espace industriel à la hauteur impressionnante, ponctué de luminaires audacieux & d'une ambiance tamisée, donne immédiatement le ton d'une cuisine italienne contemporaine assumée. La serveuse nous a habilement guidés à travers le menu, avec des suggestions pertinentes qui ont grandement enrichi l'expérience.

En entrée, la tartelette aux champignons s'est démarquée par sa générosité : mousse de cèpes onctueuse, garniture d'oignons frits croustillants & roquette fraîche, le tout rehaussé d'un jus de veau au marsala bien concentré.

Les pâtes, probablement l'agneau braisé sur pappardelle vert, ont particulièrement marqué : viande effilochée fondante, pignons de pin torréfiés & une pointe de sauce piquante, le tout sur une base de ricotta crémeuse. Un plat de viande rosée, accompagné de champignons & de chips de racines, complétait joliment le tableau avec une cuisson précise.

Le Ricotta au dessert accompagnée de segments d'agrumes colorés, zeste de citron, basilic, crumble était parfait pour terminer la soirée

Les cocktails, dont un joliment ambré garni d'une rondelle d'agrume séché, se sont révélés aussi soignés visuellement qu'en bouche.

Produits d'une fraîcheur évidente, service attentionné : Le Serpent confirme sa réputation de valeur sûre pour une soirée élégante à Montréal. Une adresse à recommander sans hésiter, hiver comme été.

My husband & I came here tonight for the second time, glad to see a familiar face as our server. Mia was wonderful as last time, & took care of us through our delightful dining experience. We had coffee, appetizers, wine, meals, & dessert, all to perfection. Attended by very pleasant staff & lovely atmosphere, our second visit here guaranteed us a third in the future.

Went here for a business dinner. Place has a cool vibe although I don't think the AC was working the night we dined. It was a bit humid. We ordered a few apps to share & I ordered the veal as my main dish. I really enjoyed the veal dish as it was prepared in 2 ways & had many components that balanced each other well. The pasta dishes were good but nothing that blew me away. My favourite appetizers were the mushroom tart & the lamb tartare so would recommend those. The crudo was good but found some of the toppings overpowering such as the orange on the branzino. The desserts were very good! Would recommend the lemon ricotta dessert! The play on textures & freshness of the lemon was great. Overall great dining experience but for the price, dunno if it'll be a repeat customer.

Outstanding service from start to finish. The dishes were absolutely delightful, & the steak was incredible, cooked to perfection exactly as ordered. While the desserts were a little less my personal taste, the overall experience was excellent. I would definitely come back for the quality of the food & the impeccable service.

Très très bon !
La nourriture est originale, audacieuse & délicieuse. Les portions des entrées sont légèrement petites pour le prix, mais les plats principaux sont généreux. La pieuvre en entrée n'était pas parfaitement cuite, par contre le reste était digne d'un 5 étoiles.
Je met 4 étoiles au service. D'abord un peu parce que le service était peu être un peu trop'guindé' à mon goût. Mais surtout parce que nous étions assis trop près d'une autre table ce qui a fait en sorte qu'un client s'est accroché dans notre table & ça a fait un vacarme pas possible. Aussi, un des clients assis à côté de nous portait vraiment trop de parfum, ce qui a masqué tout le goût de nos desserts. (Est-ce entièrement la faute du restaurant ? Pas du tout, mais l'expérience était tout de même affectée.)
Je recommande chaleureusement autant pour la nourriture, pour le service que le décor industriel, mais très chaleureux à la fois.

We had such a lovely evening at Le Serpent. The food was excellent, especially the Bucatini & the Paccheri. They really know how to do pasta right. Both dishes were fresh, full of flavour, & unique in the best way.

The desserts were amazing as well. The tiramisu was rich & delicious. Everything was beautifully presented, & the restaurant itself is stunning with a great atmosphere.

Service was kind & attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Le Serpent to anyone looking for a memorable dinner in Montreal.
