J'ai beaucoup entendu parle de ce restaurant & j'avais hâte de découvrir la nourriture La réservation & la gestion était impeccable Par contre la jeune dame qui nous a servit était froide & pas courtoise. On a demsnde si le pain pouvait être chauffe on a eu droit un Non sec Quand les repas sont arrivés je n'ai pas touché ma soupe. Ça ne l'a pas intéressée de savoir pourquoi J'étais bien déçu La nourriture était pas mal dans l'ensemble Je pense que je vais essayer une fois encore avant de me prononcer définitivementView more

Food was excellent, but the bartender was incredibly rude. First, my partner complimented the bartender & he ignored her. Then, my friend asked if the restaurant had a malbec. The bartender scoffed & said "we don't serve Pina coladas here." After paying, & tipping, I confronted the bartender & said, "hey, I feel like your response to the miscommunication was kind of rude & it made us feel unwelcome." The bartender nodded & then walked away. I wasn't expecting anything beyond "sorry, I didn't mean to be offensive," but he just ignored our group again. TOURISTS SHOULD AVOID THIS SPOT. YOU CAN GET GOOD FRENCH FOOD ELSEWHERE, & OTHER PLACES WONT TALK DOWN TO YOU FOR BEING AN OUTSIDER.View more

Grilled octopus 4/5 The octopus was soft & the grilled peppers were nice. Beef tartare - Tartare de boeuf 3.5/5 Average, with options for spicy or no spicy. Duck confit - Cuisse de canard confite 5/5 The duck skin was perfectly crispy & absolutely delicious. Roasted quail with wild rice - Cailles rôties & riz sauvage 3/5 The quail was tasty, but the wild rice was too hard. Shrimp & chorizo risotto - Risotto aux crevettes & chorizo 5/5 My favorite! The heavy cheese flavor paired wonderfully with the cornichons. Maple Profiteroles - Profiteroles à l'érable 5/5 A delightful surprise! Freshly baked & crispy profiteroles filled with maple ice cream, absolutely the best I've ever had! Chocolate tart - Tarte au chocolat 4/5 Rich chocolate flavor, but too bitter for me. It definitely needs extra ice cream on the side. Strawberry tart 5/5 I couldn't find its name on the menu, but it was very fruity & delicious. The most delicious restaurant I had in this trip to Montreal, from main course to dessert, all delicious!View more

Right worth the hype! Did some research & this was top 3 on my list & after visit, I think this is my favorite in Montreal! Service was excellent & offered a booster seat for our toddler & brought over crayons for drawing which was a huge help. Food was so tasty & came with complimentary pickles with mustard. I was in heaven! The wine list was great! It's hard for find Chablis by glass & they had it - delicious! Overall, it was 10/10! When we visit Montreal next, can't wait to come here again!View more

The service at this French restaurant is very professional. The pickles are delicious, & the fish soup is excellent. However, the restroom is particularly small.View more

An amazing French restaurant. The maître is kind & friendly. The service is always excellent. The wine selection is very good. It's always delicious & perfectly cooked. The ambiance here is excellent as well. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're going to be in Montreal. (I came here as a tourist many times when I was visiting Canada, & when I moved to Montréal too...) Nothing changed. They are consistent in delivering a great culinary experienceView more
