Had a delicious dinner here on a Saturday night. We were in town for a concert so had an early dinner but still had a great ambiance. Love the vibe, the service was top notch & the food was fantastic. Our server (I think their name was Frances) provided us with great suggestions that took into account our food intolerances. Food was so fresh! Had the bread & butter, eggplant, chicken skewer, catch of the day & cucumber feta. Everything was lovely but the fish was a stand out! Will be back next time we're in town for sure!
Une adresse à ne pas manquer à Montréal. ❤? Produits locaux, concept « à partager », de la viande pour tous les goûts, ambiance musicale inspirée des pays du sud, des fleurs de saison qui ornent les tables, une carte des vins superbe, & que dire sur service chaleureux & personnalisé. Je recommande sans hésiter !

There are very few places I've been to where I walk in with no expectations & walked away thinking'wow I did not see that coming'
The menu, ambience, the service were all part of a pleasant experience & certainly the food was fantastic!
All the produce was bright & fresh, really great balance, & the charcoal grilled meats gave me so much nostalgia.
The highlight for me was the heirloom tomatoes, bagel & creme cheese.
The atmosphere on the terrace was calm & warm, & the plants were beautiful. Really great place to wind down!
The service was incredible as well. Very well coordinated, & our server was really sweet. We felt right at home!
Can't wait to come back.

It's a perfect place to go & share a casual meal with, I really enjoyed the duck! The proteins flavours didn't penetrate as much in my opinion but the sides MORE than make up for it! The Asparagus is FABULOUS & the portions are generally!
Excellent choice for a cool & animated evening in the centre of the city - the grilled chicken is delicious & very tender & the lamb is a must !
I'm not a big fan of the pancetta which is full of fat
I also recommend taking the risotto & cucumber with feta as well as the Bread
Great choice for a nice evening with friends
