After making a reservation several months ago, the big day finally arrived! My husband & I left the restaurant extremely happy & delightfully full. The concept of ordering multiple dishes to share worked wonderfully for us. For starters, we tried the restaurant's signature sandwich & some bread, both of which were fantastic. Our main courses included an outstanding carbonara pasta & fish, not particularly extraordinary for our taste, but still quite good. For dessert, we indulged in a maple tartlette, a definite highlight & perhaps the best dessert I've ever tasted, along with the recommended signature dessert from our waitress. We paired our meal with white & orange wine, an excellent choice suggested by our waitress. I loved the service; the staff was consistently attentive, swiftly clearing tables & plates. Everyone was friendly, & they provided service in both English & French. The bathroom is small, but it's immaculately clean. An unforgettable dinner experience!

Really exceptional experience. I sat at the bar & the server there was amazing. She really knew her food & wine, & just clearly loved being there. The food was incredible, wine was great, & the place just had a great vibe in general. I can't wait to go back, this will become a regular for me when in Montreal. In a city of great restaurants, super happy to have found another gem.

Dinner here was a special experience. Part of the fun is sharing dishes with people you are dining with. Another enjoyable aspect is the brilliance of the dishes. They are not showy. Yet great care has gone into creatively & playfully preparing ingredients that are familiar. There is a twist to everything we tried. I really appreciate the novelty & skill this requires. But I don't think that this would be noticed or enjoyed by all. Service was excellent, wine recommendation spot on, atmosphere of the space was casual but stylish. I expected the bill to be far more than it was. Very cool night out.

I really wanted to love this but it didn't hit it for me. I don't get why it was listed #1 restaurant in Canada 2023. Staff very attentive & our mixologist was top notch. The drinks were the highlight. The food, I'm sure very well executed with all the techniques but the flavours were unusual & not that special.

Honestly, underwhelmed by the food, given the price. Best in Canada? NO. However, waitstaff was exceptional & the interior design is beautiful & some wines delicious - so we still had a fun time. But won't return. Too bad.

Tout était délicieux & très bien exécuté. Pas le meilleur restaurant au Canada selon nous, mais très haut dans nos restaurants préférés. Le menu change souvent donc ne vous fiez pas au menus dans les images. Le service était impeccable. Le poulet au levain est le meilleur poulet qu'on a jamais mangé!
