So we asked the Concierge at our hotel for a dinner recommendation, & he gave us several. While out checking them, we discovered a man standing in front of a door to a deli with a clipboard. When I asked him whether we could go into the deli, he asked if my name "was on the list." I said, I didn't know, but since he apparently had the list, he could tell me...& that opened the door to our visit to Le Speakeasy.

Once your name is confirmed to be on the list, the doorman invites you in to the deli. Nothing out of the extraordinary, just a deli...until he invites you behind the counter. There, he opens the massive door to the freezer (see the picture) & you walk..only to find yourself in a rip-roaring speakeasy from the 1920s! What a hoot!

But as if the concept wasn't enough, the food was excellent. We started with fresh poured, alcohol rich, drinks & a Plateau Charcute (cold cut platter) for an appetizer. Expert selection of meats, they were tasty & readied us for an excellent meal. My wife had the Tacos de Homard, which were a version of seafood tacos but one laden with delicious vegetables as well. I had the Japanese gyosa stuffed with shrimp, & they were better than those served in an Asian restaurant I've ever eaten in. Without a doubt, the culinary highlight was dessert. We ordered the Chef Table dessert, & it was literally that--dessert prepared on the table. They laid down a clean table cloth & the chef came out from the kitchesn & prepared in right on the table cloth--& then we ate it right off the cloth. Amazing & just a blast.

When we got back to our hotel, we urged the concierge to add this restaurant to his list of recommendations, & he immediately made reservations for himself to eat there the next day. When we return to Montreal, Le Speakeasy will be a definite return mean for us! Don't miss it!

Nous avons été charmé par le concept de votre restaurant! Un excellent service de la part de notre serveur Phil & des plats aussi beaux que délicieux! La remise d'enveloppes brunes en guise de facture a terminé cette soirée d'exception dans la joie & la rigolade!

Vraiment cool. Bons tapas! On rentre par la porte d'un frigidaire pour avoir accès au restaurant, le menu est caché dans un livre & la facture est remise dans une enveloppe brune! Une adresse à découvrir car le resto est caché derrière une sandwicherie ;-)

Concept réussi, ni trop, ni trop peu! Le menu est intéressant, en particulier pour les amateurs de fruits de mer. Pour les avoir vu s'afférer en cuisine, les assiettes sont concoctées avec ce qui semble être de la passion! Un service sans faute, agréable, accueillant & généreux. Bref, j'y retournerai & le recommanderai!
