About

Born in 1997, it quickly became popular among locals & visitors, and is now considered a Montreal institution.

Avec un foyer qui nous réchauffait autant le corps que le coeur, notre hôte nous a offert un service impeccable. Recommandé, nous avons choisi le contre-filet garni avec une sauce délectable & des légumes cuits à la perfection ; Nous n'avons pas été déçu. Le prix étant quand même raisonnable, nous avons choisi un vin à 65$ qui est parmi les moins chère de la carte. J'y retournerais sans hésiter pour goûter un des mets de la spécialité, l'agneau, & pour vivre l'ambiance avec les musiciens qui n'étaient toujours pas présent si tôt un lundi.

Excellent service! Went for a dinner with my family. I would say the food was pretty average considering the prices. Also wish they have better cocktails. My mom loved the duck confit though.

BEST rack of lamb I've ever had..!!!! The poutine used to be incredible, but they changed the gravy to a different style sauce so it's not the best anymore. The chocolate pyramid dessert was AMAZING!! A must get!!

Amazing lamb dinner in inviting decor. Best lamb chops I've had in a long time, marinade was delicious with rosemary, olive oil & slight tang of lemon. Vegetable accompaniment was perfect. Just the right portion size to have dessert & not feel too full. We went early with our toddler & they had a high chair available.

Un resto à découvrir pour l'ambiance & le bon service. Par contre la nouriture ne nous a pas impressionnée. La soupe à l'oignon sans gout particulier & le confit de canard beaucoup trop sec. Le groupe jazz était vraiment bien.

Honest review. For the price this restaurant is excellent. The service is great, the atmosphere excellent. If you get there on the earlier side it is kid friendly. I had the rack of lamb & I was hesitant when my waiter mentioned it was a lamb & red wine reduction & mint. Mint is used & overused on lamb & I've seen it overpower many a delicious meal. However, it was subtle to perfection. Just the hint of mint which added just a little clear bite to the deliciousness of the red wine reduction & the crispness of the charred herb. A delightful experience all around.
