I went to Memo for the first time in January 2026 & I LOVED the experience, the service & the food! Sadly, I returned mid-July & it was disappointing.
On arrival we were asked if we wanted to start with something to drink, but all they had was the wine for the accord or basic cocktails. The first course having no accord either, the three of us decided to wait.
We went for the 7-course tasting menu, for dinner (110CA per person) The quantity of food was just OK, one service being a third of a slice of bread. It's a good thing we ate in the afternoon since we were celebrating, because I am not sure I would have feeled full. For the price, I was expecting more. Compared to January, the plates were on the lighter side & more expensive.
The wine accord was definitely not enough: 4 tastings of 2 onzes (approximately, sometimes it felt less) each, for 60CA per person. We should have gone with our first idea to buy a bottle of wine instead. The staff said at the beginning we would get surprises but nothing was offered, except hard liquor at the end which we don't drink, & didn't show generosity throughout the evening. We left unsatisfied for the price of the experience. I will not return.
Merveilleuse découverte & expérience splendide.
Menu dégustation 6 services avec accord vins d'une grande justesse, tant dans les saveurs que dans l'esthétique des assiettes.
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!!!
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.
