About

Le Serpent delivers a focused interpretation of Italian culinary traditions with a primary emphasis on meticulously crafted pasta dishes. The menu utilizes seasonal ingredients to construct complex flavor profiles while maintaining a commitment to accessibility through deliberate vegan options. Industrial aesthetics define the physical environment, characterized by expansive ceilings and exposed structural elements that frame the open layout. Diners interact with a rotating selection of plates that prioritize texture and precise seasoning over unnecessary ornamentation. The culinary approach centers on the balance between traditional techniques and contemporary preparation methods. Every dish reflects a dedication to authentic, high-quality components sourced to meet rigorous standards. This establishment functions as a definitive destination for individuals seeking a precise and unadorned experience rooted in classic Mediterranean influences and sophisticated, ingredient-driven cooking.

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.

I celebrated my birthday with my family at Le Serpent, & I honestly couldn't have picked a better place. The service was warm & attentive, the wine was excellent, & every dish was delicious. The crudo was definitely my favorite appetizer, & the veal as a main was outstanding. Everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavor.
A wonderful experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Le Serpent!

Visited Le Serpent for dinner last night with my fiancé after wanting to try it for awhile, & it far surpassed our expectations! Everything from the building the restaurant is in to the decor, service & food was incredible (I wish I had taken photos to attach here). Best meal we've had in awhile, would highly recommend!

Le Serpent is a true gem. It's no surprise that was recommended for a Michelin star.

The service was phenomenal-attentive, warm, & perfectly timed without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant & inviting, making it ideal for both special occasions & a great night out.

& of course, the food was consistently delicious, beautifully executed, & full of flavor from start to finish.

An exceptional dining experience all around. Highly recommended.

I'm so glad I overcame my hesitation to visit this restaurant based on some of the other reviews. Our server Laure was excellent, & the atmosphere was warm, curious, & beautiful. The food was delicious, very fresh, & unique. I don't always order duck for risk of it being too rubbery but their magret de canard might have been one of the most tender & well-cooked pieces of meat I've ever had. The risotto was so tasty & had a sort of citrusy sweetness that kept it from being too cloying. Highly recommend this restaurant for an intimate occasion needing a little boost of ambiance.

This is a revisit to Le Serpent. All the appetisers are delicious, especially sauces for the oysters & also the cooked oysters. Wine are priced reasonably. No corkages allow here is a disappointment. The pastas were not as good as I remembered but still pretty good. Overall very good. Highly recommended
