Le serpent, an institution since 2013

Le Serpent opened its doors spectacularly on December 23, 2013 in Griffintown. Located in the Darling Foundry, an art-dedicated space, its name was borrowed from the former foundry, from the time when a massive pollution control duct crowned it. Today non-functional, this industrial artifact remains very present in the building’s architecture and the neighborhood’s urban landscape.
Founded by Hubert Marsolais and Claude Pelletier, also creators of Club Chasse et Pêche and Le Filet restaurant, Le Serpent offers a menu with strong Italian accents in a contemporary brasserie spirit, with a strong personality and equipped with a unique, high-quality wine list. The team of associates is brilliantly completed by chef Michele Mercuri and sommelier Philippe Boisvert. Designed by architect Annie Lebel of atelier in situ in collaboration with Hubert Marsolais, Le Serpent enhances the industrial qualities of the space. Contemporary arrangements that contrast with the building’s raw and refined aspect, offering about 80 seats and a bar that can accommodate a dozen people. Wishing to be an accomplice to all occasions, Le Serpent is open in the evening from Tuesday to Saturday. Exclusive caterer for Darling Foundry events, Le Serpent also welcomes groups of different sizes.

Le Serpent is also a collector and integrates major contemporary artworks into the restaurant space that dialogue with the Darling Foundry.

Review Summary

Reviews consistently praise Le Serpent for high quality cooking, a striking industrial-chic setting, and attentive, knowledgeable staff, with plenty noting standout pasta like bucatini and fresh octopus, as well as delicious seafood and desserts. The atmosphere is described as intimate and elegant, yet lively and loud at times, with generous wine guidance and a memorable bar experience. While the majority of meals are described as excellent and worth returning for, some visits are marked by slower service, small portions for the price, inconsistent pacing, or dishes that fall a bit short compared with the hype. Overall, it is seen as a top Montreal dining destination, delivering creativity, flavor, and a polished presentation that encourages repeat visits.

Bel espace. L'équipe est aux petits oignons pour la clientèle. Les plats sont raffinés & d'excellente qualité. Les suggestions de vins sont toujours de très bons choix. Je recommande.

Located in some industrial building in an area seemingly with nothing going on is this restaurant. Cool lighting & atmosphere, good service & food came out quickly. Food portions weren't huge but rabbit & venison dishes were well presented & tasted very good. Definitely more premium pricing but recommended none the less.

J'ai bien aimé l'ambiance mais je trouves que pour une assiette de pâtes, elle était trop cher. J'ai pris le risotto & j'étais déçue. 49$ mais ça goûte pas grand chose. Par contre, la tartelette de lapin (entrée) était bonne! La linguine était bonne aussi!

The food was delicious! Especially the burrata & braised lamb pasta. We got seated in the back corner which was nice & relatively quiet. Lovely ambiance & service:)

Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité reçu. Le foie gras était très bon mais 30e la tranche ça tire. Puis les pâtes 30e pour un plat mal équilibré, le sel est beaucoup trop présent, nous étions 20 & c'est la remarque général qu'on a eu sur nos différents plats. Déçu.

Très déçu par la prestation. Le plat de paccheri à l'agneau que j'ai choisi était extrêmement salé à en être presque écoeurant, ce qui a masqué toutes les saveurs du plat qui semblait pourtant très bien cuisiné au premier abord. J'aurais pu penser qu'il s'agissait d'une erreur pour mon plat, mais mes amis ont également trouvé que leur plat était beaucoup trop salé... Dommage, d'autant plus considérant les prix de la carte & la note finale. La burrata en entrée était cependant elle très bonne.

Our overall experience was wonderful minus our steak being below average. Our server was beyond wonderful, attentive & helped us choose entrees & wine parings.
The pasta with pork reduction ragu was one of the best pastas we’ve ever had.
Our steak was below average. Tough, gristly & slightly cold. For $120 we thought it would be perfect.
The wine, service, & overall vibe was great! We’d definitely return.

J’ai pris le risotto au homard, grosse déception, un peu trop acide, manque d’assaisonnement, on ne sentait pas le homard… ca fait beaucoup d’erreurs dans une assiette à 45 dollars, je pense même faire mieux maison.

Beautifully placed in an industrial brick building. I attended a wedding there. I loved the design of the place, mix of industrial & modern style. The service & waiters were amazing, friendly, fast & very accomplished.
The chef created a special Vegan 5 course meal.
Each meal was meticulously designed & presented, the flavors were explosive & rich, worthy of a Michelin star!
Thank you everyone for this wonderful night!
