Le serpent, une institution depuis 2013
Le Serpent a ouvert ses portes avec éclat le 23 décembre 2013 dans Griffintown. Situé dans la Fonderie Darling, un lieu dédié à l’art, son nom a été emprunté à celui de l’ancienne fonderie, du temps où un conduit massif de dépollution la couronnait. Aujourd’hui dysfonctionnel, cet artéfact industriel est toujours très présent dans l’architecture du bâtiment et le paysage urbain du quartier.
Fondé Hubert Marsolais et Claude Pelletier, également créateurs du Club Chasse et Pêche et du restaurant Le Filet, Le Serpent propose un menu aux forts accents italiens dans une esprit de brasserie contemporaine, avec une personnalité forte et doté d’une carte des vins singulière et de grande qualité. L’équipe d’associés est complétée avec brio par le chef Michele Mercuri et le sommelier Philippe Boisvert. Aménagé par l’architecte Annie Lebel de l’atelier in situ en collaboration avec Hubert Marsolais, le Serpent sublime les qualités industrielles de l’espace. Des aménagements contemporains qui contrastent avec l’aspect brut et épuré du bâtiment, offrant environ 80 places assises et un bar autour duquel une douzaine de personnes peuvent être accueillies. Souhaitant être le complice de toutes les occasions, le Serpent est ouvert en soirée du mardi au samedi. Traiteur exclusif pour les évènements de la Fonderie Darling, Le Serpent reçoit également des groupes de différents formats.
Le Serpent se fait aussi collectionneur et intègre dans l’espace du restaurant des œuvres d’art actuel majeures qui dialoguent avec la Fonderie Darling.

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!
Jules
Loud, pasta undercooked, crudo - pretty sure they had that sitting in the fridge with plastic wrap on top because the plate had so much condensation on it & smelled fishy!
Duck magret was delicious. Everything else disappointing.
Alexander
One of our favorite restaurants to visit every year. Nails the atmosphere, great staff who are attentive, organized, & friendly without being too much. & the food is exceptional. Best risotto of my life, & fresh pasta that competes with the best.
Paul
The fish main dish was delicious complemented by nicely grilled vegetables. However, the starters & pastas were disappointing, particularly their signature bucatini, which was rather bland & lacking in flavour.
Armidion
I went here with a group of friends & it was an absolutely wonderful time. The food was exceptional. We shared some fried zucchini, oysters & Burrata Beef Tartare & I had the Bucatini. The tartare was outstanding. The Bucatini was a fantastic dish. The pasta was perfect & had a good chew. It was savory, a tad spicy & very flavourful.
Yuri
The meal was the highlight of our Canada trip. We loved the location in an old factory that whilst open with soaring ceilings was well laid out so that it wasn't noisy. We started with the asparagus & zucchini flower specials followed by the venison & pasta, with tiramisu to cap it off, accompanied by a nice bottle of red. The food was superb, the colours & flavours of the asparagus with the dill dressing & prosciutto the standout. The tiramisu was simply decadence on a plate. Service could not be faulted. Definitely recommend visiting if in Montreal

Disappointing experience to say the least. Our group came Saturday night & ordered a bit of everything from the menu. Crudo & linguini were quite enjoyable. Everything else fell short or was surprisingly bland & underwhelming. I have never had such a forgettable night in terms of food, especially when one would expect the complete opposite from this type of restaurant. Nothing was'really bad', but nothing was really good either, yikes..
Octopus was tough & chewy, average taste. Cod & venison were a'meh'. Rabbit tart was intensely salty & rich, one-dimension, & not much of a tart. Bucatini was okay. Spaghetti was weird - pasta only tasted like lemon & the sauce at the bottom was bland, could not taste the clams, the garlic or any flavor really.
Both desserts were disappointing - the ladyfinger part of the tiramisu was too wet, making it a liquid mess that only tasted of espresso, & the chocolate, hazelnut & vanilla pastry was just average. Everyone felt like they were not worth eating & that we should have skipped dessert.
Portions were small & price was way too steep to justify such boring flavors. The people working there were nice, but cannot make it up for such a forgettable evening. Will not recommend & will not return.

An iconic restaurant in Griffintown, both location & vibe. I personally don't enjoy the warehouse/industrial vibe, but it is for some people.
What's certain is that the food is impeccable & stunning. The ingredients are fresh, from pasta to seafood going through seasonings & vegetables, you get an explosion of taste with every bite.
The place is brimming with staff for proper & quick service.
5/5 overall score, the lower stars are just my personal taste which doesn't apply to everyone.
Erica
Delicious food - had the grilled octopus as entré & the special "caramel bonbon" pasta stuffed with braised beef, fois gras & ricotta served On panais purée with hazelnuts & crispy kale & add on of truffles as main course. Excellent service from Laure. Cool modern industrial ambience.
Cricri
Extremely overpriced pasta & quite small portions. Service took one hour for our 2 pasta dishes to arrive. Fancy presentation & nice setting though...
Goldy
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
Caroline
Amazing food but I mean amazing. Better pasta & tiramisu than I ate in Italy! I recommend strongly the octopus as apetizer, the linguine with speck & the special of the day was beef & it was tender & absolutely delicious! Nice interior design & decor. Love the pub bistro chic vibe. Amazing customer service also. It shows they have the care for their guess to have a good time.
Chloe
The food was good, especially the pasta dishes. The service was not... We were given the wrong salad, (we receive a bowl of lettuce with no dressing, nothing instead of the summer salad). I asked for the menu & did not receive it so I got up & walked to the front to retrieve it. It was not taken off the bill & it took us 30 minutes to receive the bill. Our drinks also arrived after our main course. Overall, bad experience & would not recommend eating in.
Silvio
As an Italian, I will give my honest review; this is not an upscale Italian restaurant. Atmosphere: too noisy, tables have no cover, poor Ikea chairs, definitely not a place for a date. The only decent dish was the risotto, amazing taste. The other dishes had many cooking mistakes like chili on the seafood pasta or too much bell peppers on the octopus, the dessert was a tasteless disaster strawberry fronzoli. Total price for a couple with a bottle of Franciacorta 330 CAD. How about hire an Italian chef & have some real traditional Italian options like Ossobuco Risotto?
Elliott
Located in an old foundry in a very offbeat location, the atmosphere is quite nice. The service was efficient & attentive. The food was very good...a pasta & a risotto. The only negative was that the menu was very limited. Overall a positive dining experience.
Ali
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:)
S
Fantastic staff, super friendly service. Nice wine list! The pasta is the star 👌
Kate
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.
