About

Palomar focuses on the pristine quality of seasonal fish and marine ingredients presented with technical precision. The menu emphasizes the raw purity of the catch complemented by artisanal charcuterie boards that highlight traditional curing techniques. Ingredients arrive daily from local purveyors to ensure a rotating selection dictated by harvest cycles and oceanic availability. The kitchen employs minimalist preparation methods designed to accentuate natural flavors without unnecessary embellishment. Patrons interact with a space defined by utilitarian design elements that mirror the honest approach to product sourcing and preparation. This establishment prioritizes the direct connection between market freshness and the final plate for those seeking a straightforward culinary experience centered on coastal provisions and cured meats. Every dish serves as a testament to the rigorous standards maintained throughout the sourcing and assembly process.

Nous y étions pour souper, vraiment superbe menu. Le tartare de thon était absolument impeccable, riche en saveur. Leur formule où tu choisis le poissons directement au comptoir poissonnerie pour te le faire griller est vraiment superbe, les frites & la césar étant tout autant excellentes.

Belle découverte de produits hyper frais 👌

Thank you, Palomar, for a lovely lunch. The food was fresh, bursting with flavour, & unique. The soupe du jour was a hit as was the salmon chorizo with pickled beets. Lobster roll was delicious, nicely presented. We were less enamored by the fish & chips, fries were dry & overcooked, batter was thick, a bit heavy. Service was excellent, the team thoughtful & sweet. Nice dining room, the deli counter dominates a bit & takes away from the coziness but the outside fireplace is a fun touch, especially for diners choosing mimosa a volonté ;). Bathrooms really need a bit of TLC to match the standard of the restaurant.
