Came here for dinner on August 16th & ordered the uni spaghetti which actually tasted more like KD than uni or any seafood flavor. The pork was great & had a good balance of flavours with the sauce. Duck in a can was good but too heavy for my taste without any bread.

However, our server was disappointing. The young gentleman serving our table was visibly uninterested in providing service to our table after we had a'smaller' bill compared to other tables. This was more apparent after we had settled our bills & he didn't even say goodbye or thank you & immediately went over to his next table & provided them service. I'd like to think that you should be treating all your customers the same whether or not they had'large' bills or not.

Stopped by for a late lunch last Saturday & ended up completely floored by the duck in a can, which the server actually cracked open tableside & it smelled incredible. The dining room has this cozy, wood paneled energy that photographs beautifully in the afternoon light coming through the front windows, so I couldn't help snapping a few shots before digging in. Staff were friendly & didn't rush us even though we lingered for almost two hours chatting & taking pictures of the plates. Portions are huge, the foie gras poutine is genuinely worth the hype, & I'm already planning a return trip with a wider lens.

I went here for my fancy birthday dinner on a Wednesday night, ready to gorge myself with pure decadence of foie gras, overindulgement was also on the menu. We got seated very quickly for our reservation & had a menu placed in front of us & our drink orders taken within being there for 2 minutes. We ordered the little bites of something French that literally burst this beautiful fatty liquid into our mouths, what a way to start. Right away we were also served the foie gras nori & the duck tartare handroll. Everything so far was amazing, what a way to start!! Also their housemade maple apple cider was amazing.

Then came the main courses!!! The duck in a can was amazing to see it being opened & then poured over this sourdough bread & celeriac puree, it was everything a chef could love....or so I thought until I tried the stuffed pigs feet....this was one of the best things I've put in my mouth, stuffed with morel mushrooms & foie gras, this was the dish I would ask for on my death bed.

& then for dessert we had the maple bread pudding with seared foie gras on top( a special request i made as birthday boy)

This was an amazing dinner from start to finish. Although the midnight foie gras night terrors were not as fun lol

Highly recommend if you are into old school fine dining decadence.

As a chef this is what good food is all about.

As a New Yorker traveling solo when I come to Montreal, I always come here & it is the best meal of your life. If you come to Montreal don't go to this fabulous place you are truly missing up.

My bartender was so knowledgeable & aware of the menu & even though she was super busy she still paid attention to Tomi. The owner's team was fantastic & everybody's doing their best to serve you on time.

J'ai beaucoup aimé les plats, le pain également. Le service est efficace. La salle est en revanche très bruyante.
