Le restaurant typique pour touristes. Les serveurs ne prennent pas vraiment le temps pour vous. C'est genre il faut expédier vite pour laisser place aux clients suivants.
Les plats ne sont pas si exceptionnels que ça par rapport au prix.View more

Excellent rapport qualité/prix pour le homard ! C'était très bon & copieux. Les frites maison sont très bonnes.
Par contre, ils devraient donner des ustensiles plus petits afin de pouvoir récupérer la chair dans les petites pattes des homards.View more

David made us feel more than welcome while we enjoyed our first meal in Montreal. He even wrote down recommendations for us about the city. David's service was the perfect balance of personal & professional. The food was great too, especially the soup of the day!View more

Had an absolute amazing time with my boyfriend here! Food was very delicious. We came for the lobster roll & we were not dissapointed. Everything was so good. The server, an asian guy with tattoos, was super nice & sweet.
Btw, just wanted to add that people who write reviews like'the server should fight the homeless man for smoking next to the patio' need to go check their mental health. Servers should take care of your drinks & food. As a european myself I am so shocked by the way some people expect the server to be their mom, dad & bodyguard. Chill.
Love the place, love our server, love the food! ❤?❤?❤?View more

As a local, I'm often cautious about restaurants in the Old Port. They tend to be overpriced for the quality, some touristy traps. Pincette was a refreshing great choice in the area.
The staff was nice & accommodating. We arrived a bit early for our indoor reservation & they offered us a table on the terrace for some pre-dinner drinks which was lovely. The cocktails were delicious.
Our server was friendly, attentive & did a great job at walking us through the menu. we ended up getting the lobster, which was the reason why we were there. To our surprise, the price was quite reasonable, considering it's lobster in a very popular area. We swapped the fries for veggies, which turned out to be an excellent choice. They came with a great sauce on the side. I found the salad fresh & flavourful & the whole dish was nicely portioned. The lobster itself was delicious, despite the work I had to do to get the good stuff out (that's on me 🥲).
I can't speak for any other dish, but overall the lobster was an enjoyable experience. I left feeling pleasantly surprised. I'd definitely recommend Pincette if you're in the mood for a good lobster dinner in the Old Port.View more

Food is absolutely terrible & pricey for how poor the quality is. The oysters were not fresh, the lobster was tiny, & the lobster rolls was dry & cold. The roll was not buttered or toasted. I will never come again & unless you want to pay for terrible food, I would say don't come here.View more

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The place is very busy on weekends, which I usually take as a good sign. However, the food I was served wasn't tasty, even though it looked quite vibrant. The risotto lacked salt entirely, & the escalope was swimming in a broth with a very strange flavor.
The staff were wonderful & professional. Before serving the wine, they offered me a taste, & when I declined, they brought me a different one to try. I felt uncomfortable refusing repeatedly, so I eventually accepted the next offer. Unfortunately, the wine tasted very diluted - almost as if water had been added - & it had an unpleasant, overly alcoholic aftertaste.
The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, but the summer terrace is furnished with metal tables that wobble & uncomfortable chairs.
They served hot glasses, which I usually take as a positive sign, since it suggests the glasses aren't being hand-washed. But pouring cold water into a hot glass felt counterproductive, especially when your guest is trying to cool down in the summer heat.View more

On a nice evening night eating on the terrasse the delicious food they prepare is magical. The surroundings of the old buildings makes it extra specialView more
