The oysters were good, but we ordered the mixed platters (x3) & everything was served all together, so we couldn't tell which one we were eating. The fish was okay, but honestly I found it overpriced - $47 for a small piece of fish with just two lettuce leaves as a Caesar salad on the side. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't really live up to the price.

Bonjour, nous sommes allées avec 2 amies au restaurant Palomar car il nous semblait bien. Par contre nous avons attendu 1h pour recevoir nos entrées & plats principaux (en même temps) alors que les gens à l'extérieur avaient reçus leurs repas bien avant même si arrivés après nous (l'excuse étant qu'ils avaient demandé des entrés froides & nous des calamars. Le poisson était correct mais les frites étaient horriblement salés, il manquait de verdure dans l'assiette... Nous avons été vraiment déçues par le service reçu honnêtement. Une des serveuse a offert les calamars comme dédommagement pour l'attente & tout, mais vraiment très décevant.

Absolutely loved my meal at Palomar! Simone & the team were warm & welcoming, & the service was spot-on. The raw bar is exceptional, fresh, beautifully presented, & bursting with flavor. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, making it a standout spot for seafood lovers. Highly recommend! Can't wait to return.

Très belle tablée, parfaitement située sur les allées du Marche Jean Talon.
La plus belle terrasse du quartier & un espace intérieur très agréable en hiver également.

J'apprécie la délicieuse version brunch de leur offre culinaire (centrée autour du poisson maturé, … une dinguerie).
Mais c'est le soir que cette cuisine brille. Je recommande le tartare de thon puis d'aller choisir son poisson dans la vitrine de maturation. Un régal.

Le restaurant Palomar fait office de poissonnerie en journée & d'épicerie de produit transformé !

If you go for fresh fish & other sea food amazing selection & they prepare it really well just for me it was missing a little flavour plus I took the tuna burger I'm a big burger fan & was super disappointed being in a high end seafood restaurant the president choice burger at maxi taste better it needs a little work on it to elevate the flavour profile

La nourriture était divine. Les saveurs sont uniques. On va revenir pour goûter le reste de la carte. L'ambiance est super chill. On est allé manger jeudi soir.

J'avais envie d'y croire. Que le marché Jean-Talon n'était pas (encore) qu'une attrape-touristes. Dans un excès d'optimisme, je me suis donc aventuré chez Palomar pour le déjeuner.

Premier obstacle : la terrasse. L'idée était bonne, jusqu'à ce que mes narines soient agressées par une odeur persistante de déchets ou de conteneurs tout près. Difficile de savourer quoi que ce soit dans ces conditions - direction l'intérieur.

Je commande les gaufres & crevettes. Sur le menu, ça sonnait bien. Dans l'assiette, un peu moins. Les gaufres? Clairement pas fraîches. Les crevettes? Trop cuites & tristes. & pour en discuter avec un serveur? Encore aurait-il fallu qu'un serveur passe nous voir. Le service semblait opter pour une stratégie de camouflage total.

Mais le meilleur pour la fin : la machine de paiement. Petit message d'encouragement à côté des pourboires : « 20 % = excellent, 15 % = moyen ». Charmant, mais surtout illégal au Québec depuis avril. On est en juillet. Peut-être temps de se mettre à jour?

Bref, une expérience qui donne envie de rester chez soi avec une boîte de gaufres Eggo. Au moins, celles-là, on sait à quoi s'attendre.
