A cute little restaurant with exceptionally great service. Menu is an little heavy on the lamb, but the chicken was made to perfection, so I can give it a pass.

Fast service. Very Friendly waiters. Yummy snails. 🐌 first time trying & was blown away... Beef tartare was also a 9/10 very well seasoned. Mussels were delicious as well. Thank youuu - our favorite meal in Montreal so far.

10/10 brunch experience!!! (June 2022) Very quaint atmosphere, delicious food, affordable prices & outstanding ambiance. Particularly enjoyed the jazz music at brunch which was a delight. I had the eggs benedict with lamb, creme brulee for dessert. My friend had the breakfast poutine. Came for dinner May 2023 - duck confit was delicious & so was the creme brulee. The appetizer bread & butter was so yummy. Beautiful background live music which I enjoyed over my meal. Jan 2024: had duck breast, grapefruit mimosa.

A thousand thank you to Yan for the great service & his patience & of course the whole team behind the scene for making my birthday so easy & accommodating! From the communication through emails days prior the big day to the actual day, everything went smoothly. The food was great, I had the onion soup, the lamb chop (a tad bit too cooked for my taste but we were also a big group of 14 so I understand) with a side of smashed potatoes, the crème brûlée (DELICOUS by the way) & a mocktail mojito (also delicious). There were live music at the restaurant which adds up to the charm of the place. I left very happy with how everything turned out.

Wonderful experience. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly & attentive. Our server, Christian, was awesome. Live music was nice. It was a little warm inside, but expected when it's 30° outside. Definitely would return when in town.
