Le service & la nourriture sont excellents.
Nous avons prit la pieuvre (un must), la stracciattella (le beurre à la sauge est hors de l'ordinaire), la salade amer (très bonne & spéciale), le poulet (tendre & juteux), la dorade (excellente) & le dessert à la pistache (WOW).
Pour boire nous avont prit un espresso martini (un des meilleurs en ville) & un martini tomate & basil (bon & spécial).

Bref, je recommande fortement ce restaurant !

P.S. ambiance cozy & relax.

Une expérience vraiment mémorable sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent. Nous avons adoré chaque bouchée, de la salade généreusement garnie d'oignons croustillants jusqu'aux pâtes délicates surmontées de petits poissons.

La présentation des assiettes est superbe avec ces motifs travaillés sur la céramique. C'est rare de trouver une cuisine aussi fine & authentique dans une ambiance si accueillante. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de belles tables.

The food is good, but the portions are tiny for the price. We have to order a dessert just because the pasta was really not enough to fill you up. To finish with a 70$ bill (on a wednesday with the special) its a bit steep. If the price was more proportionate to the portions, it would be great.

Attention, c'est extrèmement bon..!

J'ai passé un repas en tête à tête avec mon épouse chez Leila sur recommandation d'amis, & on a pas été déçus.. Même plutôt super satisfaits !

Les plats sont vraiment super bons, j'ai notamment pu prendre des pâtes aux girolle & veau, tout simplement incroyable ! Super savoureux, des goûts ronds & doux. Le service est top, les équipes sont agréables, de bons conseils !

On conseille de prendre 2 entrée à partager & 2 plats pour 2 personnes. Les portions sont justement dosées (peut-être un poil légères pour les gros mangeurs, mais pour nous c'était parfait !). Les desserts sont aussi top, j'ai pris un labneh fouétté sucré avec des fraises & un granolat sésame, à tomber !

Seul petit point à noté (mais qui personnellement ne nous dérangeais pas trop) : La terrasse donne sur une rue assez fréquentée niveau trafic donc cela peut-être un poil bruyant par moment si vous êtes sensibles. Mais bon, si c'est le cas, mangez à l'intérieur, la salle est top !

Bref, on recommande vivement sans détours 🤝🏻

Fabulous little restaurant in Mile End. The menu was so unique & seasonal. The lobster was outstanding as part of the surf-&-turf special. The sardines on toast were SO flavourful! Fantastic service & a nice wine menu.
