The staff at Le Violon were incredible - welcoming, attentive, & effortlessly on point. They created the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger just a little longer. & the food was unreal.

I really loved my experience here from the reservation to the welcome to the food. Staff & chefs were top notch. Nothing stuffy about the place. It's a five-star restaurant that feels like a comfortable neighborhood eatery. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Never mentioned it to the staff but they treated us as though they knew & made us feel special & very welcome. Food did not disappoint either. For appetizers, we had a Quebec cheese plate served with melons & almonds & Nova Scotia tuna which was prepared as a tartare/bruschetta both were super. Main, we had Sea Bream & Lamb shanks again both excellent. Smokiness on the sea bream & the tenderness & seasoning on the lamb shanks were perfect. Portions are small but satisfying overall. Weren't going there to get stuffed but really enjoy unique flavors. That is what we got. Don't want to overhype it but I know it exceeded my expectations from an overall experience.

Literally the best meal I've had in my life. Hosts, service, everything was absolutely perfect. Food was to die for. Wife was beyond happy. Would not hesitate to go back the next time I'm in Montreal! Thank you for an amazing evening!

J'avais beaucoup d'attente sur ce restaurant.

Plat bistronomique plus que gastronomique.

Service comme nourriture correct mais pas de quoi garder un souvenir inoubliable.

J'ai mangé une pintade en ballottine & épinard … beau travail sur la ballottine, un peu moins sur l'épinard qui consistait à étaler de simples feuilles sur les ballotines (le travail sur la ballottine semblait avoir été d'un tel effort que l'épinard a dû être sacrifié).

En accompagnement, une salade verte… 21$ & je ne suis pas regardante sur les prix… mais à ce prix la on s'attend à avoir un minimum de travail dessus … c'était une simple salade avec vinaigrette (comme à la maison!)

Le dessert un affogato tiramisu qui en fait était une glace au café ni plus ni moins …

Le service était vraiment moyen, notre serveuse semblait commencer le métier … Donc de ce côté la, pas adéquat avéc une expérience gastronomique.

Bref un bon restaurant sans plus (en comparaison j'ai mieux mangé au Pégase & pour bien moins cher), du mal à comprendre les avis dithyrambiques que j'ai lu avant d'y aller ! Expérience qui nous a permis néanmoins d'accorder nos violons (Mon avis était partagé avec les personnes m'accompagnant)

Le Violon does not disappoint! The service was impeccable & you can tell that each person truly wants you to have a positive experience. It is evident that the staff works as a team to make this place come alive. The renovations to the building are fantastic. The interior offers 3 main seating areas, including the bar in which you can watch the chefs work. I was told by the staff that the art is one of a kind, which is neat. When you get a chance, check out the washroom as well - trust me. Of course the food was phenomenal. With Le Violon being rated as #11 in all of Canada (2025) & #1 best new restaurant (2025), I was not surprised. I asked for the chef to cook for me instead of picking items off the menu myself. Some items I had are the scallops, the beef tartare, the gnocchi dish, the tonata & a pastry dessert. Each meal was gorgeous to look at & taste. You can tell that all flavours & textures were carefully considered. I can't forget the bartender who whipped up an amazing cocktail to suit my dishes. THANK YOU to Le Violon team for giving me a memorable culinary experience. I will be back!!

Vous DEVEZ goûter aux gnocchis ainsi qu'aux asperges, deux plats de très haute voltige. Le reste est franchement délicieux mais ces deux plats se démarquent particulièrement.
Le dessert chou fraisé est à se rouler par terre jusqu'à la maison.
Suggestion pour un de leur vin blanc qui était impeccable: le radicalement blanc.
Le menu dégustation vaut la peine & le prix est tout à fait correct pour tout ce que nous avons eu (i.e. beaucoup beaucoup de bouffe).
Bonne dégustation!
