True Excellence.

Live in Montreal, I feel so proud that a restaurant from my city ranks number 1 in the Canadian top restaurants list. When I stepped in, I was quite surprised to be honest, because it looks like it could be any other community restaurant in Montreal, or even less "chic"or "luxury" than many of them. I have a very good feeling about it because it means that more people would have chance to taste the food since the price is just fair or even less than many other restaurants. I ordered the razor clam, beef tartare, gnocchi with ricotta filling & turnip, duck breast & striped bass. the cold dishes are really good, very original & fresh. the hot dishes I would say need a bit more breakthrough from ordinary versions.

Dinner was enjoyable. I had high expectations since it's Canada's #1 restaurant, it didn't wow me but I still had a great time : service was excellent, desserts were exquisite, the mains were good. The scallops toast : must take.

Decent mains but whatever you do, do NOT get the desserts. Save your time & go to the many bakeries around. My entire party was actually extremely disappointed with multiple dessert options but enjoyed the mains & apps

I'm still processing these emotions I'm feeling, but this was easily among the very best meals I've ever had in my life. Flawless.

Although all dishes were good, I think the only one which blew me away & I find myself reminiscing about is the buckwheat cake. There is truly something so unique & special with how balanced it is in terms of sweetness, but also its play with textures, & uniqueness compared to other dessert offerings. The wine selection was also really good. We used the opportunity to sample several wines by the glass. In this regard my highlight was the rosé Chair a Canon from Dunham. Its fruity notes were beautifully blended & smooth.

Incroyable. De l'accueil jusqu'à notre sortie, cette visite a été remplie d'attention, de chaleur, de saveurs. Le personel en entier semble avoir comme mission que nous passions la plus belle des soirées. Chaque plat a été un homerun, chaque verre de vin aussi. Un énorme coup de coeur. Merci à toute l'équipe.

I just walked out of here & I would say this is a place that showcases food & cooking as an art. Its a place of creativity, of food combinations I've never heard or thought of but everything is so delicious & best of all seasonal ( which means fresh, tasty, most probably local & sustainable). Its a place to share a plate instead of having one to yourself. The staff is friendly, knows their shit & I got served an amazing bottle of wine. I recommend you make a reservation & when you get there, dont hold back. Enjoy!
