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.
We had the burger, the duck burger, the fries & the the olive oil cake. All meals were incredibly delicious, well balanced & filling. The staff were super accommodating as we brought our little one. Very nice, relaxed atmosphere & the chefs are friendly & top notch. It's well worth your time to stop in & try what's on offer here.
If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that takes you on a culinary journey, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.
The menu is an exciting fusion of tradition & innovation, featuring unique combinations that you won't find anywhere else. It's clear that the chef has a deep passion for their craft, as each dish is not only visually stunning but also bursting with intricate, layered flavors that elevate the dining experience to something truly extraordinary. They guide you through the meal with a passion that makes each course even more special.
This is more than just a place to eat-it's a place to experience something new & exciting, to discover a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking.

Absolutely mind-blowing what they've done with this place. Loved Gabrielle before, but the new chef & food is on a whole other level. Loved the service, unique dishes (duck burger 💯) & service. Only wish soups were served in the old, larger bowls 😋
Belle expérience gastronomique au Mémo ! On vient ici découvrir de belles choses & vivre une expérience.
Le menu dégustation était bien rythmé, compter 2h30-3h pour passer à travers tous les services. Le chef vient expliquer l'histoire de chaque plat, chacuns tirés de moments de sa vie. Des plats travaillés & recherchés, où se mêlent sauveurs, textures & originalité.
Nos coups de coeur pour le menu de février 2024 étaient le Eric Ripert, Gabban & pain & taco. Petit bémol pour la cuisson d'un des filets de porc, qui était un peu trop cuit.
Dans l'ensemble très belle expérience avec un service attentif & sympathique. A refaire & bonne chance a l'équipe.
Il y a des restaurants où l'on mange de très bons plats & de bons vins & d'autres, beaucoup plus rares, où l'on vit une expérience culinaire. Sabrina, Rémi & Jay nous ont offert hier l'une des sinon la plus belle expérience culinaire de notre vie, à ma douce & moi, que ce soit ici au Québec ou en Europe. Merci! Nous allons vouloir partagez cette expérience avec parents & amis sous peu!
This was one of the best dining experiences that my husband & I had in Montreal. All the dishes were very unique & meticulously crafted. You can see that the Chef has poured his heart into every single detail. We also loved hearing about the story of each dish. It really raised the experience to a whole other level. Highly recommend this gem of Restaurant!

Cet endroit ne peut pas être plus parfait selon moi. Service impeccable, nourriture exquise, ambiance parfaite. Sans farce c'est un privilège de manger ici !
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!
Nourriture exceptionnelle & service hors pair. Nous avons choisi le menu dégustation & ce fut grandiose. Merci infiniment au chef Rémi & à son équipe pour cette soirée extraordinaire. On se revoit bientôt.
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.
