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.

Si vous cherchez un bijou bien caché dans un building qui paraît abandonné à Montréal pour passer une superbe soirée en amoureux ou entre amis, vous devez aller au restaurant Le serpent. Je suis une foody & je ne suis jamais déçue. Tout est bon. Osez prendre leur suggestion du jour ou allez avec un classique incontestable: leur fameux risotto au homard. Petit conseil: poursuivez la soirée en allant boire & danser au Bord’elle qui est à distance de marche du restaurant.View more

The food was excellent, a bit small for the price but tasted amazing. The waiter was very cold & snobby (maybe because we are American)View more

First time. I was skeptical at first, the entrance is dodgy & once you walk in, the furnishing is industrial & spartan. Parking isn't easy. Menu is slim & focused. I wasn't happy to see $35 pasta dishes but it was worth every bite. I had the pork flank/nduja dish & every bit was an umami joy. I started with the Serpant Sazerac, great cocktail with freshness & strength. Can't wait to go back & try more.View more

Quelle belle découverte. Nous sommes allés un vendredi soir & nous étions 9. Lorsque nous poussons la porte du restaurant, nous sommes accueilli avec un merveilleux décor qui mari parfaitement le contemporain & le rustique. C' est beau, c'est chic, c'est invitant. Étant arrivé premier & un peu d'avance, je commande le drink portant le nom du restaurant. Un bon petit drink succulent & rafraichissant. Le personnel est extrêmement poli & compétent. Le repas est parfait. Tous ont été conquis par la nourriture. Fait intéressant: nous avions dans le groupe 2 végétaliens, pour qui le chef a concocté un risotto hors menu 100% végétalien qu'ils ont adoré. J'y retournerai assurément.

Just came back from a lunch date with my wife & our experience at Le Serpent was filled with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the meal in & of itself, was delicious, colourful & well plated. The flavours were fantastic! We ordered the pieuvre as a starter which melted in your mouth. Then I ordered the lobster risotto with mascarpone, which was by far one of the best risotto's I have ever eaten & my wife ordered the salmon confit with lentils... Just melted in your mouth.
Now for the serving staff... The service was slow, we had to refill our own water glasses several times & the waiter didn't seem to interested in checking in on us once we ordered. A real shame, since the food was devine when it did come, but the poor service unfortunately takes away from the overall experience.
The worst part of the meal: As my wife was eating, she bit into a piece of salmon & something crunched between her teeth. She took it out of her mouth, placed it on the table & we both analyzed this clear, tiny piece of... GLASS?! Could it be? We looked at it carefully to make sure it wasn't just a piece of corse salt & so we tried to see if it would dissolve or break apart & it did not. I called the waiter over to tell him he should let the chef know to be careful, as perhaps a glass may have broke near my wife's dish when plating it. The waiter was surprised then quickly came back with a handful of white salt & tried to sell us on the idea that it was just a piece of salt. Let me tell you, it was not a piece of salt! It was a shard of glass & he tried to insult me & my wife's intelligence! I didn't as for a comp or anything at all & only wanted him to advise the chef as a precaution, but the blatant insult from this horrible waiter was completely disrespectful & unnecessary. The Chef should seriously revise his staff, as he is producing a very good quality product, but the people he has up front will ruin his perfectly good business.
Then, on the way out, the bar keep tells us, "we apologize for the misunderstanding... I assure you we would not have served you glass." What a complete asshole! I guess you can't teach class. A normal thing to do in such a situation would have been simply to apologize, maybe have the chef come over to say hello & check on us... There wasn't even a need for any type of comp... But a sincere, "sorry that happened, I hope it didn't ruin your experience here..." would have been well appreciated. Well, guess what, now even our friends heard about the unpleasant, classless event of today's lunch & it tarnishes a perfectly good place to eat.
My suggestion to the chef... Get more professional employees that have some basic etiquette & class.

We were a large group, & not one of us did not like our experience. From the ordering of drinks, dinner & dessert, we really enjoyed our experience.
I started off with the trio of fish crudo. the presentation was simple & inviting. All three fish melted in your mouth. Main course was the pork cheek. Crispy & not too fatty. It melted in your mouth.
Loved this restaurant.

C'était très bien mais sans le wow attendu. Nos attentes étaient peut-être trop élevées après le Filet & le Club Chasse & Pêche? Il faisait très froid dans le local ce qui a possiblement limité notre appréciation des plats. Je le réessaierais bien une autre fois...

Saveurs fraîches & raffinées. La bajoue de porc & le risotto de homard étaient parfaits. Les desserts sont à couper le souffle, particulièrement le pudding à l'érable: le mélange des textures, des saveurs... mémorable! Excellent choix de vin au verre, plusieurs vins de styles différents disponibles. Le tout présenté de manière très attentionnée par un serveur compétent & sympathique. Déjà hâte d'y retourner.
