Le highlight ont été le tartare de thon & le dessert de la crème brûler au gâteau fromage.
Le burger au poulet était pas à mon goût avec une sauce un peu aigre/piments trop présentes..
Le restant du repas découverte était correct.
Les drinks un peu trop sucré a mon goût. J'aime aussi quand c'est léger & rafraîchissant.
Le service super & l'ambiance super! De ce côté rien à redire!!View more

Je voulais vraiment aimer ce resto.. il y avait de très bon revew mais honnêtement rien d'extraordinaire.. je suis allée pour le brunch.. il n'y a pas beaucoup de choix de café & pas de lait végétal pour le latte, nos assiettes on pris beaucoup de temps à arriver malgré que le resto était vide..les pancakes bon mais sans plus, les tacos déjeuner sont format miniature.. bref, c'est correct sans plus.View more

Popped in for a family brunch. Chose the place for the decent rating & being failry expensive according to Google ($$$) & we wanted to take no chances. Service was a bit slow at starters, but we weren't neglected. Place does not scream child friendly, but our 4yo got fixed a juice & plain fries, which she enjoyed. We had beef & tuna tartares from the brunch menu. Portions were smallish, but we expected that, paired with some parm-truffle fries it actually was perfect. The two cocktails we ordered were also quite good. We sat inside & the ambiance was great, comfy chairs, nice plates & themed decor.View more

Food is good, my favorite was the tuna & burrata. The tasting menu is overpriced for what it is. Better to get the dishes individually. The music is obnoxiously loud & the TV playing movies distracts from the decor.View more

Délicieux. Excellent service. Brunch dimanche: nous avons pris oeufs, tater tots, bacon, frites, café & crêpes bleuets citron. Les plats manquent un peu de couleurs, quelques fruits ou légumes colorés feraient toute la différence.View more

Mauvais Garçon was such a great surprise! Émile, our server, was incredibly helpful & made our experience even better. Everything was delicious - from the beer to the plates. The restaurant follows a tapas-style concept, with dishes meant to be shared, & the ones we've ordered were amazing. Make sure to get the Brussels sprouts & the fried chicken sliders!
It was just a quick stop to pass the time, but I honestly can't wait to go back!View more

La nourriture est vraiment excellente, nous avons pris le tartare de thon, de boeuf, la burrata, les taters tots, la salade cesar & les tacos de thon, franchement la nourriture vaut le detour. Par contre le serveur 0/20, ne nous a pas expliqué qu'il s'agissait de tartare a partager, n'a proposé ni dessert ni café, & ne s'est pas excusé quand l'un des verre a explosé dans la main de l'une d'entre nous (après l'avoir apporté deja félé sur la table), & n'a pas offert de pansement. Nous avons du l'appeler a plusieurs reprises pour qu'il vienne a notre table alors qu'il y avait seulement 2 tables dans le restaurant.
Bref, allez y pour la nourriture excellente, mais pas pour le serveur du midiView more

Tried their new Notre-Dame location.
Service & atmosphere were quite excellent. The staff is awesome too & overall nice vibe.
The tuna tartare was our first dish - very tasty. Unfortunately everything else was SOOO SALTY. I don't know if the chef that day was just heavy on the salt but it was hard to finish the other dishes because of how salty they were.
That's a shame because it was otherwise a great place. I guess we might have gotten unlucky that day.
The drinks were delicious!
It seems to get busy so reservation would be recommended.View more
