One of Montreal's newer restaurants, featuring locally sourced ingredients. It took over the space from Maison Publique, one of our perennial neighbourhood favourites (Yo Yo's before that, which was also a fav). Total bill was $270 for two with a $70 bottle of wine, &, in my opinion, not a lot of value for the money. $7 for two pieces of ciabatta bread. Portions are very small. My partner had sweetbreads ($40) which were very tasty but miniscule. I had the pork shoulder which again was tasty, but tough, & served with one(!) piece of Swiss chard, & a couple of star-shaped veggies with cheese. We never order dessert but were still hungry at the end so had the chocolate dessert with creme fraiche, which we both enjoyed. Atmosphere is great, as is the service

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.

Extraordinary dining experience. Elegant yet casual atmosphere with great attention to detail. Unique menu derived from many locally sourced foods, beautifully presented. From the apps through to the desserts, it was an astronomic delight.

This is the restaurant you don't want to share (because you still want to get a reservation) but also can't help but share because it is fantastic. The starters are incredible, the tomatoes & albacore tuna were unforgettable as were the mussels on stout bread. As for the mains, the pork in jus & pesto gnocchi were incredible & instantly crave-able. The desserts truly keep the momentum going (a rarity in most places). We opted for the pistachio & rose soft serve ice cream & basque chocolate cake with English cream. Good to the last decadent bite. Run don't walk to Le Violon, but also please leave us at least a two top because we can't wait to go back. P.S. Shout out to Jenna for her exceptional service. This team truly cares about the experience they are curating. Here's to many years of beautiful food music at Le Violon !

Honestly it was just fine? The portions are tiny for the price. Just go to vin mon lapin instead.

Excellent food & specifically the service was top notch. The chef himself came out to reassure that allergies are taken very seriously which was really appreciated. Overall great time & excited to come back!

Nous avions eu de très bons commentaires sur ce restaurant & avions très hâte d'y aller. C'est honnêtement avec beaucoup de regrets que je dois mettre 2 étoiles. Niveau atmosphère, il faisait très froid avec la clim & la musique était beaucoup trop forte (& je suis gen Z, même pas boomer!). Aucune chaleur/courtoisie de la part du personnel, difficulté à conseiller des plats, préciser les grosseurs de ceux-ci & conseiller du vin ( en plus de nous avoir servi un vin beaucoup plus cher que la braguette de prix établie). Côté nourriture, c'était si décevant que j'ai encore de la difficulté à croire que c'est arrivé. Certaines personnes à ma table n'ont pas été en mesure de manger leur plat tellement c'était mal apprêté, trop cuit ou juste mauvais. Aucun des plats, entrées & repas, ne nous a plus. Je souhaite que ce fléau n'était qu'une mauvaise soirée de leur part, mais j'en reste tout de même amèrement déçue.

Danny & son équipe ont été au p'tits oignons avec nous toute la soirée & le repas était mémorable. De l'entrée au dessert en passant par de très bons vins nous avons été conquis par des saveurs raffinées & réconfortantes. Un restaurant à faire & à refaire. Merci encore à eux pour cette très belle soirée !!
