Super accueil, une cuisine fraîche, locale & raffinée. Mention spéciale pour les desserts à tomber par terre.

Very high end tasting menu/chef's choice for $125 per person. Amazing quality, creative, this is one of the best restaurants in the city today (Nov 2024, & updated June 2026). Highly recommended. Small cozy room but still upscale without being pretentious. 3 services per night, & you have to pay a $50 deposit per person, but definitely worth it. Service was excellent for our group of 5. To me it ranks up there with Vin Mon Lapin, my colleague thinks it's better. Decide for yourself. Highly recommended, great experience.

Absolutely fabulous place. We had beef tartare, white asparagus, pork, ravioli, & for dessert we had marenque & citrus tart. Tried 2 different white wines & 2 different res wines. Excellent recommendations by the staff. Dong Ding tea was delicious, reminded me of oolong tea. High quality service & sooo comfortable ambiance & energy. Just fabulous!

Faible évaluation plus en lien avec le menu. Service était correcte. Nous avons commander uniquement des entrées puisque le menu était très peu diversifié & que les seules option de plat étaient du poisson ou du porc (Pas de pâtes ou autres viandes comme nous avions vu dans les reviews). Les entrées n'étaient pas fameuses, je m'attendais à plus pour le prix que nous avons payé. L'ambiance était correcte mais il faisait très humide & chaud à l'intérieur.

Way overpriced, mediocre service. Not even close to worth the hype. 54$ scallop dish (before tax + tip) that had a spinach sauce & THREE scallops, that in my opinion were overcooked & rubbery. Best thing on the menu was the Aliment Viens charcuterie, which isn't even something they made, go figure.
Take your money elsewhere in Montreal where you can get better value & better food & not feel like you're getting ripped off by hype, especially considering this restaurant still has the tip machine spitting out amounts on the post tax bill, which is technically illegal.

Had the best fish, really loved the simplicity of flavours & textures.
The staff was great, & the chef prepared us a vegetarian dish off the menu upon request.

So we were excited to try this place because it got 8th on the list of Canada's top 100 restaurants.

So we were expecting the meal to be great.

We've done many tasting menus & so we thought that would be the best way to experience but the chef has to offer.

The first dishes were a bread dish with butter & lobster with asparagus & a bechamel sauce. They were good but nothing special.

The pate & the fish with harissa sauce were both not that great. The pate for some reason was paired with radish so you had a very very silky smooth Pate which was delicious, but the radish would add a watery texture to it. Not very appealing.

Then we got the mains. The salad was fresh with a light dressing. Once again, nothing super special here. & the pork was mixed with a bechamel & a jus. That was good , & finally the fish which didn't really stand out either.

For a restaurant getting the top 100 , you would expect something that would stand out & be different.

The desserts though were outstanding , that pastry / dessert chef deserves an award by herself 🤣. Those were epic.

Also our server was amazing & great as well.

Overall though not a place I'd recommend to spend $450. Def had better experiences at that price point.
