Review Summary

Le Violon offers a sophisticated culinary experience that is widely praised for its creative, high-quality tasting menus and beautifully presented dishes, with many guests specifically highlighting the gnocchi, lobster, and impressive desserts as standout elements. While the atmosphere is frequently described as vibrant, upscale, and trendy, some visitors find the space quite noisy and the seating tight. Service levels are generally considered impeccable and professional, though a minority of experiences report inconsistency in attentiveness or a feeling of being rushed. Although the restaurant is seen by many as a must-visit destination in Montreal that lives up to its reputation, a segment of diners feels the portions are small for the price point and that expectations set by its high profile are not always met.

Nice decor, good vibe, friendly service. I'd go back on a date but not with a group. Portions are too small for the price, $400 of food left our group of four still hungry. It's made worse by serving the small bits of food on large plates, which really just emphasizes the fact that you just spent $40 on 3 bites of sweetbreads. Bread costs extra too (but the delicious house/anchovy butter makes it sort of worth it) Even the drinks are small! One more suggestion - if you're recommending that your guests order to share plates, consistency with the number of "things" a dish comes with is important. It's frustrating to have to split 3 slices of protein between 4 people for one thing, & have the even 4 for another.

Beau petit restaurant, les saveurs sont bonnes,, l'entrée cantaloup un peu simpliste pour ce restaurant. Bien dommage que le service soit assez expéditif parfois. Mais dans l'ensemble c'est un bon restaurant.

Nice restaurant! In particular I like their monkfish with mushroom & corn. That was a bit sweet but not dominating the flavor of the fish. Love that dish.

I recently dined at Le Violon & was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The chef's exquisite dishes showcased a perfect blend of flavors, making every bite memorable. The staff were attentive & warm, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect, offering a stunning Montreal aesthetic that complemented the delightful decor. It was an unforgettable evening, deserving of all five stars!

Really like a 4.5/5. Food was mostly very good but a couple dishes weren't quite there for us to make it a 5 star. Service was amazing! Try & grab a seat at the far end of the bar for a great look into the kitchen & chef Danny at work.
