Such a lovely spot! The food was delicious, the heated terrace so cozy, the menu strikes a perfect balance, refined, & full of dishes that let quality ingredients shine. Big thanks to our sweet server who brought a blanket when he saw I was cold, very thoughtful ! 🥐🍓☕?

Excellent dining experience. Wonderful service. The food is wonderful & executed perfectly. We had the tartare de beouf, hareng fumé, coquilles saint-jacques & bavette de beouf. Everything cooked & seasoned perfectly. Nice wine list. Want to try their French toast dessert next time. Will be back!
Everything is good except the ribeye steak. It was very chewy & nothing special about it. French toast is excellent! Escargot is good as well as the service.
Very popular & well renowned. The service is very professional, efficient & polite. The poached eggs were good; the omelette & the French fries were'plain'; ... not up to standard.
April 39, 2025: back for dinner. Excellent food, good service, noisy environment. We had crabes des neiges & soupe minestrone for entrées. Foie de veau, bavette de boeuf & moules & frites. Cafe & dessert du moment.

Great restaurant in what felt like a very upscale neighborhood in Montreal. Great wine list & their food was a blend of classic French dishes with Montreal touches. Dessert was really amazing there.
Très belle découverte, j'en entend parlé depuis un moment comme étant une institution montréalaise & c'est le cas, l'accueil & parfait, le lieux très jolie & le services & la cuisine maîtrisé à la perfection!
Merci pour ce repas
Great service, & cozy atmosphere. Provided both a French & English menu. Good fries & mussels & duck confit. The salad seemed a bit plain in my opinion. They also brought us a baguette with butter for free!
