Seating: Bar (Brasserie)

Atmosphere: 10/10 | Overall feel of the restaurant feels as you'd expect it to be.

Service: 10/10 | Paced properly when ordering entrées, mains & dessert. Extremely pleasant staff, if you have a problem just ask.

Food: 10/10 | No issues here, had the bone marrow with burgundy snails as an entrée, Lamb sirloin (Recommended by Barman) as main & the Pavlova as dessert. Dish sizes are surprisingly decent (entrée + main) & I was too full for dessert.

Overall 10/10 | Money Worth

An absolute amazing experience. My husband & I sat at the bar, enjoyed a couple starters & some cocktails. The white asparagus starter really stole the show. So delicious. The bone marrow & escargots, was exquisite & very rich (in a good way)
The octopus was cooked to perfection & paired so well with the ginger carrot puree.
The Pistache cocktail was the number one best cocktail I've ever had in my life (12 years of working in restaurants )
Beautifully balanced., such a complex cocktail created with pure harmony. I will dream of this cocktail.
We then continued our culinary journey with the pan seared tuna & braised lamb. We left our plates clean. Everything was delicious.
We ended our night with the pavlova & crème brûlée dessert. My husband, not really a fan of desserts in general, practically licked his plate clean.
The highlight of our night, was Serge the Barman. What an amazing, kind & gentle man. Truly gives the definition of'gentleman'
Extremely attentive & knowledgeable about his menu & wines.
We will certainly come back for the food, & definitely stay for Serge.

10000/10. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you.

Without doubt the rudest, most high on their own supply Maitre'd ever encountered, who is a detriment to an otherwise adequate showing worthy of a cold night with little on the calendar. Food good if not inspired, winelist a gem or two. Bar staff knowledgeable & friendly.

Such a great restaurant...
Depending upon your palate & food tastes, you can book accordingly... The last time I was there my wife & I sat at the bar... It was sooo fun! Same food & wine - but the bartender repartee was amazing!!

Truly delicious food. I ate at the bar in the brasserie side & received impeccable service from the whole team, all of whom were great company. As a solo traveler, it's nice to be made to feel like a guest & not just a customer. Charles & Andrea both made thoughtful & successful wine recommendations for each of my courses. The boudin bastien was the star of my meal, but everything was delicious. Even the complimentary bread was divine. This was the best meal I had in Montreal, & a great value for the level of quality. It's a more classic approach than some of the trendier restaurants, but that's not a bad thing at all.

I love eating at the bar here & the crowd is so beautiful that it rivals the exquisite French food. It is worthy of the Michelin attention it received.

Amazing food & impeccable service! I've been here for both personal & professional dinners, & each time I'm impressed by the consistent quality of the food. My recommendation: make a reservation if you can. I got lucky once as a walk-in by arriving early had a seat at the bar which turned out to be a great experience.
