Je suis très contente d'avoir choisi votre restaurant pour mon groupe dimanche dernier. Très bon service, amical & rapide, très bonne nourriture. Nous étions enchantés. Merci
Dimanche soir, nous étions les seuls clients & la serveuse a manqué un peu à son devoir au sens où elle n'a pas proposé la carte des desserts & nous l'avons cherché à l'extérieur pour lui dire nous étions prêts pour l'addition. La nourriture était bonne & bien présentée. Salade pomme-cheddar, joliment présentée & toute fraîche. J'y retournerais.

Ambiance sympathique, portions généreuses à un prix raisonnable! Bonne bouffe, bon prix, un choix idéal pour notre famille maman, papa & deux ados affamés!
Hello. I went with my husband to this restaurant for the New Year's party.The price was 45$ per person.
At first when I saw the menu on the internet it looked attractive..but in reality it proved to be totally different!! First of all, the first ,,meal'' was poor in quantity. (foie gras de canard de barbarie au chutney de figues).
It was just one small peace of foie gras de canard;(ne rasperry with jam was added just to make the plate look fancy)
Before we ate this, I had the impression that they serve too much bread & butter; in other words ,,The more bread with butter you have, the better because there will be lots of salad & no meat")
Before we ate this I had the impression that they serve too much bread with butter; in other words ,,The more bread with butter you have, the better because there will be lots of salad & no meat").This was free.
I was surprised that they didn't give us plates for the bread & butter. When I asked the waiter for plates he looked at me as if I had said smth.wrong?!:).
Second plate according to the NYE menun contained ,,veloute du marche, croutons rotis a l'huile d'olives & parfum de basilic".
Again, poor in quantity, it did not have sauce just oil.
When you think of veloute du marche, you imagine that it might include some jambon maybe & you expect a bigger plate!
Then we had a cream soup (again,too small but it tasted quite good). The third plate contained ,,panache de fines laitues,carpaccio de concombre & poivrons rouges".
This one was small as well & had non sauce, just oil.(nothing special).However it look nice on the plate.
For the 4 plate we had the following options: cheveux d'ange aux fruits de mer, carre d'aigneau roti a la fleur de thym, filet mignon AAA grille,sauce echalote & vin rouge or supreme de volaille grille au miel & noix de pin.
We had chosen fillet mignon grille.Luckly we had good intuition. The loaf meat was well cooked, the rice tasted good, we also had rucolla salad & a small piece of patate gratinee which I enjoyed.
For the 4 plate we had tiramisu maison (it was a bit small but delicious).
The music was great & the ambience was lovely. The waiter was stressed, he barely smiled at us (he had poor knowledge of english). After 12 p.m he came to our table with a glass of champagne to wish us Happy New Year.
I had a great time with my husband although we had been a bit dissapointed about the menu.
I must say I've never waited an hour & a half for eggs in my life! I went with 2 friends last Saturday around 1:30 pm. The place was pretty full, but we were seated & had our orders taken straight away. An hour later... Nothing! No coffee refills, no explanation for why the food is taking forever, nothing. We finally signaled down the waiter to ask for more coffee & ask when our food will come. He just brushed it off, pointed at the kitchen & said "it's not my fault". I don't care if it's your fault or not, either figure out how long it'll take or see why it's taking so long. Another half an hour later, I left to put more money in the parking meter, & when I saw back the food had finally arrived. Food was OK, but nothing to go gaga about. Oh, & after the wait the food wasn't all here! My friend ordered a breakfast special that comes with pancakes, but her pancakes weren't there. It arrived separately five minutes after her meal, & it was a pancake, not pancakeS.
It was an overall terrible experience. Never coming here again.
C'est mon meilleur restaurant à déjeuner à Montréal. Ils font des oeufs bénédictines si bons! Les patates à déjeuner sont très bonne aussi. Jamais essayé d'y aller le soir pour goûter autre chose, mais le menu du soir semble très bon, de style bistro. Les prix sont très abordables aussi. Le service est toujours très bon pour nous! À recommander!
Service rapide & agréable, notre serveuse était rapide, attentionnée, elle a rapidement corrigée une erreur mineure (oublie d'un ordre de pain).
Pour la nourriture, c'était bon, rien d'extravagant. J'ai toujours de la difficulté à comprendre pourquoi les fruits dans les assiettes des oeufs bénédictines sont toujours aussi nombreux & agréablement présentés.
Nous avons pris des assiettes "normales", bien qu'il y avait 4 fruits coupés normalement, comparés aux fruits des assiettes des oeufs bénédictines, c'était beaucoup moins beau/appétissant/abondant. Mais bon ... un peu déçu de ce côté.
La confiture/le beurre de peanut sur la table, toujours appréciés.
Mes amis m'ont recommandé ce restaurant. J'y suis allée plusieurs reprises pour bruncher avec mes amis. tout est parfait & les portions sont copieuses. les oeufs benedictines aux fromages de chévres & asperge sont succulentes & celles au saumon aussi. le prix est abordable & les aliments sont de qualités. à essayer & à re-essayer :)
Il y a vraiment du monde qui évalue ce restaurant beaucoup trop à la hausse. On est très loin d’un resto 4 étoile & demi. On parle vraiment de bouffe de brasserie sans grande qualité. Mes calmars étaient très caoutchouteux & les escargots camoufler sous une tonne de fromage & d’ail. Mon filet de boeuf était correct avec une sauce plutôt ordinaire & les patates qui l’accompagnaient elles étaient froides. Le serveur était courtois, mais on parle quand même ici d’un service normal. Le décor est très normal. Bref, je conseil pas cette place pour un bon souper (carte d’hôte à éviter), mais plutôt pour profiter de la terrasse sur St-Denis, de leur bière pas chère & probablement de leurs Burgers qui on l’aire leur spécialité & a bon prix.
J'ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience à L'Évidence! Petit bistro sans prétention avec un petit caractère convivial. Entrées sublimes, cuisson des viandes parfaites & que dire du service: absolument charmant, sourire & humour inclus. Facture très peu salée. Je recommande fortement.
