Our dinner date was sublime. The staff was absolutely friendly in both English & French, & adapted to our mood while being very courteous. The food was excellent. As the menu changes quite often, the best I can suggest is their dessert options which often are consistent & the scallops sandwich for sure. The staff was very well prepared to explain every dish that we were interested in with fine detail without confusing us & the wine selection was excellent too. Whilst this restaurant is definitely a special occasion spot, I do recommend trying it out once as it's a must try in Montreal.

Super expérience! Ils méritent leur #1 au Canada! Tout était parfait. Ma seule suggestion serait d'ajouter un peu d'anguille fumée dans les pâtes carbonara, car il y en avait pas assez.

It's tough to be name Canada's best restaurant & I think the accolade leads diners to have unrealistic otherworldly expectations. I loved the fun & upbeat atmosphere of the restaurant. Our service was great. We greatly enjoyed our dishes, in particular the tartare with the assortment of bitter greens & the scallop toast. I found the carbonara serving temperature a tad cold though I understand it can't to too hot to execute properly. Nor did I understand the uni & chestnut dish. Great bottle of wine. All in all a lovely meal, but the "best" restaurant title is probably a bit of a curse.
