Info & Location
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.

Extremely overpriced pasta & quite small portions. Service took one hour for our 2 pasta dishes to arrive. Fancy presentation & nice setting though...View more

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 recommendedView more

Nous avons vécu une expérience gastronomique inoubliable. Nous étions un groupe & le restaurant était plein alors, nous étions sceptique quant au service & à la fraîcheur des plats mais c'est mal connaître cet établissement bien établi. De la caille aux huîtres, en passant par le foie gras & le risotto, tout était frais & succulent. Le service était chaleureux & empressé & Claudine nous a fait de parfaites suggestions d'accords mets-vins. Bref, un 10 sur toute la ligne.View more

We had a fabulous meal at La Serpent with excellent service. I'll be honest, I don't go out for a fancy meal often, but this treat for my husband's birthday was totally worth it.View more

Belle ambiance, décor hangar contemporain urbain. Samedi dernier, ma femme & moi avons été servis par Éric vers 19h. Enthousiaste de nous présenter le menu , après l'apéritif nous avons opté pour une burrata & un tartare de thon avec wasabi en entrée; tous deux excellents. Nous avons choisi de prendre un verre de Chianti pour lequel Éric nous a même proposé une bouteille hors menu. Nous avons noté cette attention. Comme plat principal, nous avons partagé le contre filet de boeuf Angus AAA avec légumes & une purée gratinée; l'assiette plus dispendieuse du menu. Quelle déception cette pièce de viande, pleine de nerf, difficile à couper & encore plus à mâcher. Le plus décevant est que j'ai positionné certains morceaux inmangeable pour que le serveur me demande si tout a bien été, mais je me doute qu'il ait intentionnellement évite la question pour ne pas avoir de remous. Je suis persuadé qu'il a remarqué car son attitude est soudainement devenue non-chalant jusqu'à la fin du repas. Je suis resté sur ma faim 400$ plus tard. Commentaire au propriétaire par l'entremise du site de réservation qui ma envoyé une requête d'évaluation, mais aucune nouvelle. Dans cette gamme de prix, le service & le souci de satisfaire la clientèle est tout aussi importante que la préparation culinaire. Je dois dire que j'ai vu mieux.View more

A great dining experience between the food & service. I would highly recommend the venison if it is on offer. The Rococo is one delicious way to end your meal. The dining room is somewhat small & quite ambient so if a neighboring table is loud it affects everyone.View more

J'ai passé une très belle soirée assise au bar avec une copine. Philippe a eu une belle attention pour nous à notre arrivée. Livia nous a offert un fabuleux service. De beaux échanges avec le reste du staff dont Claudine & Eric. Il faut toujours s'asseoir au bar! ;) Nous avons bien mangé & bien bu. Chaleureux & accueuillant!View more

An Italian meal that wasn't spectacular but was delicious. However, dessert was a huge disappointment. My sister & I chose the following dishes: - Parfait au Foie Gras (appetizer) ~ $32 - Octopus (appetizer) ~ $26 - Lobster Risotto (main course) ~ $53 - Magret de Canard (main course) ~ $46 - Tiramisu (dessert) ~ $18 - Strawberry Rhubarbe (dessert) ~ $18 Talking about the food, I especially like the foie gras with the combination of cherries that makes the dish very fresh, but still retains the original flavor of the foie gras with a light, fatty elegance & a smooth texture. However, the Lobster Risotto, although the dish that my sister & I were looking forward to, was a bit bland, the flavor was normal & nothing special. Dessert was a real disappointment. This is the worst tiramisu I have ever eaten, whether it is a mid-range restaurant, dessert shops or Michelin restaurants, all have desserts that are superior to this one. My sister & I were having a very comfortable & enjoyable dinner, but the dessert experience made the meal go down a notch. In terms of space, the restaurant will be a bit difficult to find with a rather dark space. The price does not include 15% VAT & 25% tip. The total bill was nearly $300 for 2 people, not too expensive but still not worthy of the quality that my sister & I expected.View more

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.View more

J'ai ammener ma mère au serpent pour sa fête le 28 août. Le restaurant me fait penser au type cafétéria! Le serveur était non chalant & semblait avoir du fun avec tout ses clients sauf avec moi & ma mère. Par contre la nourriture était excellente, ça la sauver le tout! Généralement lorsque c'est la fête d'un invité il offre le dessert ou du moins souhaite bonne fête à la personne, le serveur est demeuré silencieux! J'ai commandé un dessert pour ma mère & moi. La nourriture est très bonne ça je ne l'enlève pas ! Peut être le serveur était fatigué ou avait eu une grosse journéeView more
