Review Summary

Mémo draws praise for inventive, carefully crafted dishes and a warm, intimate atmosphere, with a tasting menu and wine pairings that many reviewers describe as a culinary journey guided by a personable team who explains each plate. The setting in the Old Port is repeatedly called cozy and refined, and service is noted as attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience; standout dishes such as nuanced seafood preparations and a memorable duck are mentioned, along with harmonious flavors and thoughtful presentation. However, some critics report inconsistency, particularly after the early courses, with a few dishes tasting lackluster, slower pacing, and occasional gaps such as no digestif at the end or delays at the checkout. Cocktails and portions may vary, but the general sentiment remains that Mémo is a destination for refined gastronomy and memorable evenings, best enjoyed with the tasting menu and wine pairings to fully experience the chef driven approach.

Mention spéciale au cocktail façon salade grecque, remarquable de finesse & d'originalité.
Félicitations à la cheffe.

We recently visited Mémo after being inspired by glowing food vlogs & the chef's reputation. Having dined at over 100 Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide (from Europe to Asia & North America), we approached this intimate Montreal spot with high but open expectations for the 5-course dégustation menu with wine pairings.

The first two courses delivered real excitement creative, well-executed, & full of flavor. We were genuinely anticipating the rest of the meal to build on that strong start.

Unfortunately, everything unraveled from the third course onward. The dishes became increasingly lackluster, culminating in a beef course that was completely tasteless & poorly seasoned a shocking low point in what should have been a highlight. There was no digestive offered or even suggested at the end of the meal, not coffee or tea with dessert. Which felt like a basic oversight in a tasting-menu format at this price level.

Service, while initially attentive, dragged significantly: we waited a full 20 minutes just to settle the bill after the meal concluded, which killed any lingering positive momentum.

The $20 cocktails were forgettable at best mediocre mixes that didn't justify the price.
For those who haven't experienced many top-tier restaurants, Mémo might feel impressive due to the intimate setting & chef interaction. But for seasoned fine-dining enthusiasts, this was one of the most average & inconsistent experiences we've had in recent years. The early promise simply wasn't sustained, & at dégustation pricing, consistency across all courses is non-negotiable.

We won't be returning & can't recommend it to anyone familiar with true high-end cuisine. Sad to note great potential is there, but execution fell far short.

When traveling & you are wanting an excellent meal, consult the Michelin guide! This is how I was able to find Mémo (short for'making dishes from their Mémoires!') - & the January tasting menu did not disappoint. From the amuse-bouche, to the fish course, to the dessert, all seven (7) courses were amazing. The best part? The very personable attention to service & detail from the crew. I had a lot of amazing interactions with the maître d & one of the chefs. The maître d also had asked me about what drink I was wanting to have & I had suggested a cocktail & she asked if I wanted sweet or savory & I said savory. What she came back with was a'Greek Salad Martini.' & it tasted exactly like a Greek salad but with no onion aftertaste & it worked perfectly well with the January tasting menu.

Please make your reservation or just walk in & enjoy the incredible gastronomy of Mémo!!!

One of the best tasting menus we've ever had! The food was spectacular, the service was great, & we'd definitely return. Best cocktails/wine as well.

Such a lovely staff! warm, attentive, & genuinely kind. Beyond the great cocktail list, the menu has some unexpected gems. & if you're feeling a little adventurous, don't hesitate to ask the chef for something special - there's magic happening in that kitchen 😉

This spot feels like a little secret you'll want to come back to.

We had a great evening with à la carte choices at Memo. Both chef Rémi & Sabrina made us feel right at home & we couldn't believe how each bite of food could get better than the last. Will definitely be back for full tasting menu & more cocktails!

The food was delicious, It was a Great experience indeed. Everything ordered left a lasting taste in my pallet to a point I ordered one dish (ombre/couscous) twice, never done that before but I wanted more , Awesome job to the team in the kitchen. & my server Sabrina was Great & nice, & made really tasty cocktails & was very friendly with my kids. I would recommend this place & ask anyone who would like to experience something different to check it out.
