Cute place with a very nice vibe. They serve all you can eat bread & salad bar before your meals, portion sizes are quite generous so make sure to not fill up on bread & salad. Service is very good & attentive! Sometimes long lines cause they're very popular so be prepared to wait.

Service, atmosphere & salad bar good but food is not very good! Complementary bread was dry & tasted like frozen bread. Overall, I think the price for what we got was good considering it was in the middle of old montreal. It felt like it was a place for tourists! The main dishes were too salty & felt like I could have made them at home. Mushroom risotto: not a lot of mushrooms, oily & lacked flavour. Lobster pasta: nothing amazing The sauce lacked character. Lamb chops & pesto pasta: nice lamb chops & pasta was pretty good. Would recommend out of all the dishes. Salad bar: fresh salad & side dishes!

We tried the Bruschetta, Penne Arrabiata, & the meatball. Loved everything that came. The tomatoes on the bruschetta & in the arrabiata is simply scrumptious! The complimentary breads were really fragrant too, I didn't think I would like onions on bread, but turns out I do! The place was charming & nice atmosphere too.

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 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. :)

OVERPRICED BARILLA! I expected to have a nice pasta, prepared by hand but instead they serve a basic Barilla that you can buy in any store & boil yourself. The meatball that comes with pasta No.14 also feels like they bought it in a supermarket & just heated it. To ask 24$ for such a quality is a crime! The sauce in pasta is over spiced with rosemary, too much, not enjoyable at all! Feels like someone tried to cook pasta for a 1st time really! If you buy a ready to eat Italian sauce in a supermarket, it would be better than this one for sure. The atmosphere was very tourist, but not in a good sense like the Banquise, more like very crowded & dark. The salad bar that is included in the pasta price is very basic, simple pasta salad with mayo, potato with mayo, nothing worthwhile. The bread they serve is also from a supermarket & not from a good one. I expected to enjoy some freshly baked tasty bread, but it is not the case! The garlic butter is very artificial & it also from a store & it is a cheap one. The burrata costs 24$ & it is small & not fresh! The fresh burrata should be a bit liquid on the inside, this one is more firm. The waiters do not replenish the water. Over all, it is a place which serves cheap food from a supermarket but puts an overpriced tag on it, do not recommend.

The pre-meal bread was tasty, & most of the dishes were okay. It's just a bit regrettable that everything took a long time.

Bread was dry, spaghetti was over cooked, no chew. Service was awful.
