No bad plates, everything is excellent, fantastic service, casual vibes for a michelin star. Standout dishes for me were the tuna device & morel mushrooms with scallops & lobster bisque.
Went to an Air Canada event complete with a welcome glass (or 2) of bubbles to start followed by a curated evening of dishes & wine pairings.
The service was friendly & on point with explanations provided for every dish & pairing alike; the food wad quite good & the cod exceptional.
The highlight of the evening might have been their housemade chocolate'migniardises' with combinationof their house made gelato & ice cream.
We would definitely go back!!
We came here upon a recommendation from Eater. We made a reservation, but we showed up early hoping that we could get seated earlier. To our surprise, they had space available for us!
The dishes are designed to be shared family-style. Our server made a few recommendations & we ended up taking all of them. We started with the bread & the tomato lobster. The bread was quite hot (a great sign) & the herbed butter was lovely. The tomato & lobster dish was exquisite as well - the flavors of both foods really stood out! We then had the lemongrass cod & the guinea fowl. The cod was a great summertime dish (lighter), but the guinea was still pretty tasty. We ended up sharing the pistachio soft serve for dessert, which I really enjoyed.
The dining room is quite bright thanks to many windows. It looks out onto a seemingly residential street, which adds to the charm. This may be off the beaten path & on the pricier side, but you won't leave disappointed!
One word: WOW.
Chef Danny Smiles is a genius!!
We've followed him from Le Bremner to The Willow Inn, & his creations just keep getting better & better. The dishes coming out were simply decadent, each one more impressive than the last. Absolutely phenomenal🤩
I have a gluten intolerance, & the kitchen went above & beyond to accommodate me.
& a huge shoutout to the staff too! Their energy was incredible & made the experience even more special, especially with our group of 8.
They made us feel so welcome & taken care of from start to finish.
It's no surprise they've earned two Michelin stars back-to-back. Absolutely well deserved!!!!
In bocca al 🐺…keep creating magic✨
Love, Tris & Chris
We had been looking forward to dining here because of all the great reviews, so unfortunately the experience didn't quite live up to our expectations.
The atmosphere was beautiful & the food was well prepared, but nothing really stood out as particularly memorable or innovative. The dessert was much sweeter than we expected, & the wine pairings didn't complement the dishes as well as we had hoped.
What disappointed us most was the service. It felt rather cold throughout the evening, & we never felt genuinely welcomed. Great hospitality can completely elevate a meal, & unfortunately that was missing for us. Overall, it was a good dinner, but with so many outstanding restaurants in Montreal, this wasn't one we'd rush back to.
I'm writing this as I wait for dessert because I doubt that will make me change my mind. Perfectly average food made with zero love. Technically well cooked & I'm sure well executed against the recipe,
but not particularly flavorful or inspiring in any way.
Honestly I don't understand the hype at all. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't return. I could name about 10 restaurants off the top of my head in Montreal that I think are superior for each of the dishes on the menu.
The best dish was the bread they source from L'Artisan across the street.
It's rather sceney since being named in North America's Top 50 restaurants, but I'm convinced the people who eat here care more about instagramming their dinner than their palate.
We went there to celebrate professional milestone. We came early & were seated immediately. The service was great, attentive & helpful. We had detailed explanations of all the dishes we ordered. Our youngest person got special attention from the server & very tasty, kid friendly meal. The ambiance of the place is amazing. The menu is limited & portions are small. Be prepared to spend lots of money.
absolutely fabulous experience sitting at the bar at Le Violon. Hype is well earned - not just from perfect dishes, wines & cocktails, but also incredible service. Warm, welcoming, & very knowledgeable.
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.
very nice service, delicious dishes in those some were scrumptious but some with less layered taste, quite noisy later, still a wonderful dining experience on the whole.
