Imon (sp) was our server, & right off the bat, she was like a long-lost friend. She was amazing with such great energy & personality. She made the dining experience such a memorable one. She made my husband & I so comfortable & met our every need. The food was flawless. I would definitely hit this French restaurant again, if ever in Old Montreal, & would most definitely ask for Imon again. Thank you, sweetheart!

As a vegetarian, bring my non-vegetarian friends to this high-priced restaurant. I had no option, but Salmon. Honestly, I loved it. Lightly creamy, little sour, delicious plate.

Came here for MTLATABLE, which is a prix fixe food event at select restaurants across the city. There was a decent selection of dishes made with Quebec produce across 3 courses. I picked the poutine, chicken & creme Brule. Honestly, I only enjoyed the poutine & it wasn't as heavy as regular poutine. The chicken was a disappointment due to the lack of flavours. It tasted like grocery store rotisserie. The creme Brule was nothing special. However the highlight of this restaurant is definitely the live music, which starts at 7pm every night. The jazz singer & the band that performed tonight were excellent. Without it, the experience would have been pretty underwhelming.
