Amazing homey & cozy restaurant. Feels like you're eating at a chef friend's house. Everything we had was so so tasty, great attention to details & phenomenal menu. The duck was out of this world, the espadon steak too. We also loved the lamb & the clams. Good wine too. Lots of vegetarian options (turn sides into plates). Get a lot of plates & share!
Nous sommes tombés sur ce resto par hasard & en sommes ravis ! L'ambiance est conviviale , le service est top & la nourriture est très bonne avec un large choix de viandes & d'accompagnements travaillés ! Je recommande
Been twice & both times food, ambiance & drinks were on point. Le flétan était délicieux tout comme la polenta, le gâteau à la pistache & la panna cotta.
We had a great experience! The food was SO good (we ate the duck, skewed lamb, asparagus, polenta & potatoes, & the chimichurri), Jessi our waiter was lovely & very helpful & the range of gluten free dishes was great!!! Highly recommended

Tellement dommage! La nourriture est vraiment super mais l'ambiance est atroce. C'est plein de groupes de douchebags qui hurlent impossible de se parler. Vraiment à éviter à moins d'être sur le party avec 20 personnes. Aucune option vege. Des produits laitiers dans littéralement tous les accompagnements & aucune flexibilité de la part de la cuisine. Une grosse déception
We trusted the reviews & that was an absolute mistake. The food & "salad" was horrible. A whole lettuce & some half turnips. The lettuce was yellow & looked so bad. The lamb skewer was rare & so chewy. The chairs are old & rusty. We also waited so long for ordering & getting the bill. The first place I ate in Montreal & such bad experience. It's a shame.
La cuisine y est généreuse & très bonne! Le service est attentionné & l'ambiance est sans prétention & ça me plaît bien. Le bâtiment dans lequel repose le restaurant semble habiter une autre époque & c'est ce qui fait qu'il est intéressant d'y manger. Les prix sont abordables. Cependant, il y a pas beaucoup de stationnement dans le coin, car il y a des travaux, mais si vous êtes prêts à marcher un peu, ça se trouve quand même, reste que le restaurant est au centre-ville de Montréal. Prévoir des déplacements en transport en commun durant l'été avec les festivals.
the vibe & service here are very nice. no complaints to that end. but my rating is mostly based on food & whether or not i see myself coming back. i have to start with the good: the lobster shrimp toast was amazing & i would get that again in a heartbeat. i also enjoyed the baked potato. unfortunately we were quite disappointed with the meats that we ordered which i thought would have been the main star of the meal (lamb, duck, porchetta). fyi they didn't come with any sauce which u have to order separately for $5 extra. not sure if this is common practice but i found it odd since i'm used to having meats come with wtv sauce. anw we felt that the meats were dry & tough to chew so we didn't have a good experience with it

Music way too loud. I asked them to lower because we couldn't hear ourselves talk & I was getting a headache. They said no because it was important for the ambience. Really!!! Fish, potatoes, mushrooms asparagus & duck excellent. Brochette not good at all.
Ambiance détendue & un espace aéré. Belle terrasse. Enfin un super rapport qualité prix. Superbe sauce aux morilles un délice. Superbe assiette de grillades. Carte des vins abordables.
Fantastic dining experience! Everything this group does is always top notch, I've been there twice in the last 10 days, Top pics: Lamb shops, salad , cucumber entree , grilled chicken & the Lobster & shrimp (roll) Needless to say, we're going back!!

Service: impeccable - especially for the 2nd evening of operation. Bravo! Excellent grilled lamb! The baked potato with creme fraiche & caviar was delicious!
