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!!
Had a nice meal there, Good portion overall, finished everything, felt full but not stuffed
Good service. The ambience & lighting is nice.
We were 2, we had: crudo to start, zucchini flower x2, bucatini pork confit, special (some sort of bell pepper pasta with shrimp, I think lemon flavour in the sauce).
The flavours are complex, well balanced overall, ingredients felt quality.
Crudo was nice, one of the fish had yuzu that at times would overpower the fish. Mix of 3 fish, tuna, salmon, I can't remember the last one (that one had the yuzu accent).
The zucchini flower was delicious. Nice sauce on there, light, crispy (had some batter).
The bucatini pork confit, the pork confit is blended into the sauce for a creamy rich sauce, tasty, the black garlic & soy are in the sauce & not highlight flavours, adding umami & complexity in the background.
My friend had the special, which was a pasta I have never seen before & could not find online so I don't know if they just made it, looked like bell peppers, I think there was a hole in the middle so sauce could accumulate in there, it had shrimp, I think there was some lemon in the sauce but it wasn't overly acidic, some brightness to it, I did enjoy the bite I had.
Even though I really enjoyed everything & I will probably go back at some point, it also wasn't a WOW I must tell everyone about this place type of thing? But I did recommend it to some people next time they're in town.
Our bartender, Vicky, gave us wonderful suggestions for our appetizers & entrees. We had the Foie Gras-it was so good, we ordered another! Dinner was the Buccatini pasta & lobster risotto! Both were fabulous!

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.
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.
I found this to be a surprisingly warm & casual place for the high culinary & well deserved praise it receives. I would say it's as strong in seafood as it is in Italian fare making it a good place for compromise if you want to avoid pasta while satisfying your companion's craving.
Le Serpent relies entirely on its reputation & its industrial-chic atmosphere to distract you from the fact that you are being fleeced.
A $430 bill for a couple with two children, without even ordering a bottle of wine & without a steak (or any protein for that matter), that's pretty offensive in my book. The pasta dishes are'delicate' only in the sense that they are missing the actual food.
When the bill arrived, it felt like a punitive tax for choosing the wrong restaurant. A bitter (& starving) end to what was supposed to be a nice night.
If you gotta go there, just be ready to hit the Five Guys two blocks away before or after. But better yet, just don't go.
Le Serpent was an incredible experience from start to finish. We sat at the bar, which created a very intimate & comfortable atmosphere. The team was attentive, warm, & knowledgeable - especially our server, who was exceptionally well versed in the wine menu & guided us toward great pairings.
The food itself was outstanding. The octopus was tender & flavourful, the pasta was fresh & beautifully executed, & the fish - seared to absolute perfection - was one of the highlights of the night. Portion sizes were generous, & the pricing felt very fair for the quality & craftsmanship of the dishes.
A fantastic dining experience overall. We're already excited to return!
