Very nice look to the restaurant but food was just OK. My spaghetti was not warm, hardly had any sauce & definitely no flavor... Bread was not warm & butter was cold from the fridge. No exceptions are allowed for the plates.

The meal was delicious! But staff are not willing to help their guests. It was our first day in Montreal & our phones died at the same time. We didn't know how to get to the hotel. So asked a waitress for charger, but she just say "no".

The restaurant is very old & that's the best thing about this place, in my opinion. The decorations & design transports you way back in time to early 20th century perhaps. & Charles Dickens writing the notes for "A tale of two cities" there is very impressive! There was a line when we went for dinner at 6 PM & the line was much longer by 7:30 when we exited the restaurant. The waiter was super attentive & very kind. The salad bar is free with any main meal but half of the salad bowls were nearly empty & we had to ask them to refill them. I got "le Jean Talon" which was Fettuccini in Alfredo sauce but asked for the jumbo shrimps to be replaced by chicken. It was nice but nothing extraordinary. I mean it felt like I had tasted the exact same thing several times in my life, & so close to the recipe I used to make at home. The portion wasn't super big. I had butter & bread that they brought at the table, had two plates of salad, & still could easily finish my dish of pasta (which considering the creamy sauce is a bit heavy). The restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, especially considering the portion size. All in all, amazing environment, polite waiter, but not impressed by the food & prices. :)

El restaurante tiene un ambiente muy peculiar, acogedor y agradable. El servicio no pudo ser mejor. Y la comida, no tengo palabras para describir lo deliciosa que está la salsa de tomate. Yo tomé la pasta de verdura fresca, salsa de tomate y espaguetis, para chuparse los dedos. Las cantidades son súper generosas. Además, dan pan y agua de cortesía, y los platos incluyen un mini bufé de ensalada. Me lo guardo, volveré y recomendaré!
