Great Lunch for my birthday.
This is my go to restaurant for special occasions, unfortunately we couldn't go for the live music which is in the evenings or weekends, but we had a great time, & a great meal regardless
Lorenzo was welcoming, not only to me , but to my wife, & my kids. So was William, our waiter, & Charles who was just getting ready to play some jazz in the evening. Lorenzo even sang me happy birthday 😀.
100% recommended, we will be back.

Beau resto offrant une belle ambiance avec des musiciens à partir de 19h. Le serveur était très attentionné. Escargots à l'ail servi très chaud, persillés & goût d'ail bien présent, excellente entrée. Les pâtes étaient bonnes, le tartare de saumon aurait pu être servi plus froid & rehaussé de saveurs. Gâteau au fromage & crème brûlée savoureux. Réservation nécessaire.Beau resto bien situé.

Lorenzo was very attentive & knowledgeable to our request for a gluten free poutine with lamb. The poutine had small thin fries & the gravy was not heavy. The lamb was shredded & delicious. Thanks Lorenzo! He was also kind & sweet.

Beautiful space. Great service from our server, & food came out quick. The food lacked seasoning for us. Which was disappointing for us.

Authentic bistro with outstanding food & service.
Very tight quarters, not for larger people. Interesting & attentive personnel/servers. Rather expensive, though reasonable if one limits wine/brandy/desserts. Recommended.

An unforgettable dining experience in Old Montreal! From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The service was truly outstanding - attentive, personalized & genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire evening.

The food was absolutely incredible. The beef tartare was one of the best I've ever had, the French onion soup was rich, flavorful & perfectly prepared, the escargots were delicious, & the duck was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy & full of flavor.

Their wine selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety to complement every dish.

Beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service, & unforgettable food. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to return every time you're in Montreal. Highly recommended!!!
