Review Summary

Palomar is widely celebrated as a premier seafood destination located in the Jean Talon Market, offering a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere that is popular for both casual lunches and special outings. Many diners praise the exceptional freshness and quality of the raw bar, particularly the oyster selection and the unique, expertly prepared aged fish dishes. While the majority of visitors highlight the professional service, delicious flavor profiles, and enjoyable terrace seating, some guests have noted inconsistencies regarding service speed, pricing value, and specific dish execution. Despite these mixed experiences, the consensus among regular patrons and newcomers alike is that the restaurant remains a standout spot for those seeking high-quality seafood and a memorable dining experience in a lively market setting.

Do not get there on a Tuesday night. Most of the dishes were out of stock. 23$ for a single (!) pétoncle as the main dish makes it hard to appreciate. Especially with sides as extra. It was freezing cold in the restaurant, one of the door at the back could not close properly. So we had a constant cold breeze, even sitting as far as possible from that door.

Nous avons fait une indigestion alimentaire. Le resto etait vide, mais on a quand même attendu 1h entre notre entrée & nos plats. Pour ensuite payer 25$ l'assiette de petoncles (ecrit avec un "s" sur le menu) pour finalement n'en avoir qu'une seule dans l'assiette, c'est plutot exageré. En plus du plat de pâtes vongole qui etait beaucoup trop salé. Le serveur etait gentil, on voyait bien que ce n'etait pas de sa faute, mais c'etait definitivement trop cher pour les quantités & la qualité des plats malheureusement...

There's a lot to like about this restaurant - there's fresh seafood & the cooked dishes are quite interesting (like the Oscar Benedict which I loved), but it doesn't get full score only because their service is painfully slow. They may be understaffed or their ops aren't tied down but either way expect to wait around 15-20 min for even your drinks to arrive. Otherwise it's got lots of promise!
