En tant que parfait gentil homme, je me suis dirigé vers les mauvais garcons afin d'y rencontrer mon antonyme. De charmantes serveuse m'ont acceullie avec delicatesse & sourire. Un bel arrivé pour une belle ambiance. Mais j'attendais toujours que le plus bad boy des bad boy arrive avec sa bécanne. Je commandis en attendant son arrivé. Des plats delicieux par des cuisiniers hors norme. Je regarda la cuisine, & les employés semblaient etre en harmonie. Les heures & les delicieux drink passèrent mais aucune trace de mauvaises personne, alors, outré, je cria: "DE OU SKI LÉ LE BAD BOY!!! DE YOU SKI LÉ!!!!" a une serveuse qui me demanda de partir.
Cest a ce moment que je réalisa que j'étais le mauvais garcons depuis tout ce temps. Moi, qui me crois un nice guys par excellence, decouvris que jetais une mauvaise personne depuis tout ce temps.
Qui l'eut cru.

It is one of the best dishes i've ever eaten, that is for sure. The mix between the comfort food & the high end dish with quality ingredients is divine. It's like being at home, but in a NEW GAME+: all the perks, but better
That being said, the staff are what makes this restaurant so special. Super helpful in choosing what to order, gives you all the details in the dish in a manner where i did not feel like it was a menu explanation, but a genuine conversation. I stayed a little longer after my meal & went at the bar & the barman was super funny.
I was not expecting staying that long but i had so much fun. Will be back for sure
Arrivés ici par hasard, attirés par le nom du lieu, avons été superbement surpris en bien. Repas au super top... Serveur, Olivier au top, pour ne pas dire adorable 😜
Cadre sympathique.
Les seuls bémols pour mon avis perso :lieu sombre (mais pas foncièrement dérangeant, cela va avec le cadre) & super bruyant.
Mais la qualité du repas fait oublier ces points là.
Je recommande !
🤩😍
It was a lovely meal. We had the 10 course tasting menu. We did not like one dish but that happens in a rating menu. What was disappointing was our server. He brought things too fast. & took away our drinks (expensive cocktails) before we finished them (one was at least a 1/3 full). It really felt like he was rushing us through. Even when we asked him to slow down it, he still kept trying to hurry us up. As we ate our dessert he offered us our bill. If he hadn't been in such a hurry to get us out we likely would have had a coffee & or another cocktail (although my partner was not please he had lost part of his earlier).
Excellent Tapas menu. Owner is super nice, very helpful with explaining the menu offerings. Great cocktails. Our birthday evening celebration was amazing. Don't miss this gem & it's sister bar next door, Vendetta.

Le weekend denier, Mon Mari & moi Somme's sorties diner, nous avons passé une excellence soirée a Mauvais Garçon. La nourriture eat it delicieuse, le service sympathique & accueillant. Nous reviendrons & nous amenerons des amis. Merci!!!!! A.Hope
Très bon repas, service impeccable jusqu'à ce que le gérant (?) vienne nous signifier après la serveuse qui avait fait preuve de doigté qu'il nous restait 20 min pour sortir. On le savait, on était au dessert & la facture était en chemin. Je lui ai signifié que ce n'était pas la peine de nous le dire. Il l'a mal pris; je suis revenue à la charge en lui disant que ce n'était pas une façon de traiter les clients. Il s'est énervé & m'a dit que des clients comme moi (qui venait ne laisser une addition de 350$) il n'en voulait pas & m'a montré la porte ostensiblement, devant personnel & clients. J'estime que son comportement était déplacé, voire inadmissible. & malheureusement -parce que les plats étaient excellents & le service à la hauteur- je ne retournerai jamais dans ce restaurant.
By far, one of the best culinary experiences. Service is under par (very slow) however the waitresses are all very nice. The wait time is definitely frustrating but the minute you take your first bite it makes it ALL worth it. HIGHLY recommended... enjoy!
Food was excellent & cocktails are awesome! The only hick was that plates would only come one at a time & we were a group of 7... So not even enough to share a,ongst the group as its tapas, but the speed picked up half way thru. Overall, definitely wo
Excellent bistro de quartier, la qualité de la nourriture est excellente, les cocktails sont exquis!!! Les meilleurs en ville:)
Les huitres sont délicieuses & de très bonne qualité. Mes coups de coeur: tartare de thon, tacos
