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.
Great experience, food was amazing. Weakest item was the spanakopita in my opinion, the strongest was the octopus. Wine pairing was terrific, service was terrific.
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.

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!
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!
Here is the list of the problems:
1. It was too cold inside
2. They dont have sommelier for wine selection & the waiter wasn't really knowledgeable.
3. Cocktails were really average.
4. Food was average & way below the expectation.
Way over priced for the quality of what they provide. Money wasted. NOT RECOMMENDED, won't visit again.
What a great place! Beautiful space! Impeccable service! We had Ivana telling us all about the food that is extraordinary & she helped us matching food with wine perfectly! Highly recommend the restaurant!
Wow!! I loved this place. The food & service were amazing. We shared a few appetizers, the main course, dessert & wine were delicious. It has a great vibe. I highly recommend!! As an out of town guest I'm glad we had the experience to dine here.
Quality of the dish was amazing. We love the presentation. There were four of us for a business meal. We ordered most of the menus & few season items pairing with wine for white & red were both amazing. Definitely recommend visiting here again. One thing we want to try would be the main menus as we shared the Bronzino & the steak & she appetizers. Desserts were very nice as well. recommend booking on advance
