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!!!
Fantastic restaurant. It may not have a Michelin star yet but it sure deserves one. From the friendly & detailed service to the careful preparation of dishes that will get all your taste buds going. Wonderful experience!
Mémo is a true gem for food lovers seeking an inventive & memorable dining experience. With a menu that takes you on a global culinary journey, Mémo blends vibrant flavors with fresh ingredients to create dishes that are both exciting & satisfying.
The restaurant's atmosphere is warm & inviting, whether you choose to dine indoors or enjoy the terrace. Chef Jaya McNeil continues to push the boundaries of culinary creativity, offering standout dishes like ceviche, crudo, smoked duck, & seasonal braised vegetables.
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 😋
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!
