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.

Very creative & delicious food. The menu is limited, but every dish is clearly innovative & complex. The dining space is hidden through a few doors & you would not expect a top quality restaurant here. Makes for a very cool dining experienceView more

Le Serpent in Montreal presents a pleasant dining space, yet the ambiance falls short of expectations. The cocktail offerings are adequate but not standout. Culinary highlights include a well-prepared octopus appetizer & a decent Angus AAA steak, though the steak's presentation & value might disappoint, particularly with the sauce not served separately. Overall, while the food is good, it may not fully justify the price, especially for the steak.View more

Endroit parfait pour un souper romantique ou une soirée avec des amis qui aiment manger. Aucun des plats ne devrait vous décevoir. La sélection de vins est importante. Le prix va avec la qualité des plats qui y sont servis. L'ambiance est feutrée & le décor, qui rappelle le passé industriel du bâtiment, est réussi.View more

Beau restaurant, au coeur de Griffintown. Par contre les plats sont un peu cher pour la qualité/quantité. Par exemple, j'ai commandé un plat de pâtes avec travers de porc confit. En fait il n'y avait pas de morceaux de viande mais que des pâtes a la sauce au porc, ce qui était un peu décevant pour 36$.View more

We dined at Le Serpent in December & the word that comes to mind is exceptional. The food is creative & tastes great. Atmosphere is also cool, as the restaurant is set in an industrial gallery space. & to top it off, the staff & service were phenomenal - nothing is overlooked ( special thanks Jenna ;) )View more
