Came here on a Monday night & it was still pretty crowded! But there was plenty of space in the back which was nice so it didn't feel as claustrophobic.

The food was absolutely amazing!! My table shared the steak tartare but I personally got the Foie gras, ocean trout tartare, & oysters. My group also got the maple eclair & passion fruit pavlova for dessert. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. Our server Terry was attentive & gave us great recommendations. I also loved the atmosphere of the place, it's sleek & modern. Can't wait to come back!

Je ne sais pas qui a eu l'excellente initiative d'engager l'incroyable, l'incomparable, le sublime Philippe nous ayant fait l'honneur de son service impeccable mais c'était de loin la meilleure decision de cet établissement si charmant.

De tiens à preciser de part & d'autre que Florian est un adorable plaisir pour les yeux surtout quand ils sont en binome.

Je me vois difficilement les séparer tellement l'ambiance est à sont paroxysme lorsqu'ils sont ensemble.

Nourriture délectable, service impeccable, ambiance difficile à égaler.

Un must parmis les endroits uppé de montréal. Agréablement surpris de cette découverte qui resteras, plus souvent que je l'imaginais, dans mes prochaines sortie favorites à Montreal !!!

Les plats étaient vraiment impeccables. Ils présentent la cuisine française avec une touche moderne, & il y a une technique impressionnante dans chaque assiette. Surtout les fruits de mer & les plats de viande, qui étaient très réussis. C'est d'ailleurs pour cette qualité qu'ils figurent dans le guide Michelin.

Their service is definitely the worst during my trip. The waiter ignored me 3 times & decided to service other tables. Not sure if it's because we are Asian not white. Drinks are wrong, never added water. I will never come again.

Amazing night. The food was great, the service was impeccable, the atmosphere was also very good. The Desserts were good but not amazing but the rest was very good. It was better than some of the bistrots that I went to in Paris more recently... one of the best meals I have had in a while. The
Cuisse de Canard was as good as I would get in Paris... also had a pretty well served wine list & the waiter really knew his menu - was a professional through & through.
