A friendly, Bring Your Own Wine restaurant, L'in-time boasts about having the best mussels in town on their menu. A cross between Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, and not shy to bring a touch of Greek and Quebec to certain dishes, the restaurant certainly has an enticing and diversified choice of dishes at affordable prices.
Guests describe L'in-time as a cozy, intimate Italian spot with fresh, flavorful dishes, attentive service, and a welcoming bring-your-own wine option that makes it ideal for dates and celebrations, a warm atmosphere with charming decor, and a varied menu including mussels, pasta, and desserts at reasonable prices, all backed by consistently friendly service.
I felt a little shy about going here in the past-it's a bit of an institution, you had to reserve in advance…but the new location on Wellington shows off the comfy (not stuffy) interior, & it was easy to reserve, so I got over myself &…had a wonderful experience. Went there for date night & it somehow managed to be a date-level place with a decent amount of atmosphere for a reasonable price. Wednesday is all-you-can-eat mussels with salad & dessert; two coffees & a bottle of sparkling water still put us a little under $100 before tax. Which isn't nothing, Lord knows, but for phenomenal service & absolutely delicious, fresh-cooked mussels in fresh-made sauce? Yes please!
It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the food! Pesto & Rosato sauces were lovely.
Highly recommend you give it a try. Pick up a bottle of wine nearby if you feel like it.
As always, Vanessa is the best. I am ALWAYS recommending this restaurant to my friends (& even strangers) sometimes. The food is high quality, the service is amazing, & it's a Bring Your Own Wine.
Such a staple of Verdun & worth supporting

the food was so good. a quebec twist on pasta & mussels. everything was so delicious. we also had all four desserts & it was hard to pick a favorite. plus this is bring your own wine. will come again
I brought my Admin Assistant for Admin Assistant's day & we both had a lovely experience. The service was absolutely top notch! The server took great pride in the restaurant & spoke very positively about the owner who is also the chef. The food was amazing & the portions were the right size. It is a bring your own wine establishment which is always a bonus. The only negative about our evening was that we were sitting right next to the door & received a cold draft any time the door was opened. However, the restaurant is tiny so the seating options were limited. I highly recommend L'In Time! It was well worth every penny. Thank you!!
Amazing cozy place! The food is amazing & made with care. Traditional style Italian, bring your own wine, amazing dessert, & the owner is very attentive! Loved the place
4.7 Rating. Hidden gem !! The food was excellent, great value for the money. We also had great service, & all at our table benefited from hearing a beautiful voice singing happy birthday to my husband! We will definitely go back.
Our only reservation - reason we aren't giving full 5 stars - our table was booked from 5:30-7:30, but the restaurant was having a big party coming in for after 7:30.....& started to move the tables around at 7:05. We were the only people left in the restaurant, & were finishing our wine. It would have been nice to have finished our "dinner" without that disruption.
One of the best places in Montreal for mussels & pasta dishes! Never disappointed with the food or service😊 Treat yourself to excellent food & bring ur own wine 🍷

It wears its name well!... Very cute, intimate setting, quiet, nice for a romantic dinner. Very good marinara sauce, & the pasta carbonara was delicious. Bring your own wine!
