We tried the oysters, beef tartare, gnocchi & monkfish. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful & the bathrooms are clean. Also the service was amazing. We even got the best seats in the house & got to watch Danny Smiles in the kitchen! Will definitely be coming back to this place again.

Le Violon va rapidement devenir un incontournable à Montréal. Chef Danny Smiles & sont équipe proposent un menu français typique avec une exécution adéquate & charmante. Les lieux sont à renverser & nous sentons la passion derrière tous les détails. La carte des vins est parfaite & je recommande fortement les gnocchis.

Le Violon is a neighborhood restaurant located in Plateau Mont-Royal that is refined & elegant. This fine dining establishment focuses mainly on seafood, pasta, meats & vegetables all locally sourced in Quebec. Although the food we had was on point the portions were small making it hard to share amongst 4 people. The sweetbreads at $40 were delicious but with such a small portion made it hard to share along with charging $7 for bread & not giving one piece to each of us. The service was friendly but sporadic at times as our drinks took sometime to come & being offered a second drink took also a lot longer than expected. Overall I would go back once there's a menu change & I'm sure by that time they will have ironed out any issues that can occur within the opening weeks.

Right out of a Parisian neighborhood, Le Violon takes you on a beautiful voyage of taste & sight. The decor is stunning, fresh & welcoming. The original artwork of Dan Climan is a feast for the eyes & the incredible, fresh dishes a feast for the palate! Congratulations to the entire team.

I was so excited to try Montreal's newest restaurant, Le Violon & man, did it not disappoint. From the curated decor & lighting, to the refined service & harmonious menu - everything was delightful. Although on the pricier side, the cuisine is well worth it, as it is filled with surprise flavors, consistency & aromatic mouthfuls. The polished ambiance & skilled staff brought the entire experience together. Le Violon has to potential to be one of Montreal's top restaurants. Already looking forward to coming back!
