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

We dined at Pincette on our last night in Montréal for the F1 Weekend, & I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The ambience was cozy yet elegant, & the food - Absolutely divine.
We started with a half-dozen oysters-so fresh & flavorful that we immediately ordered another round. The seared scallops were cooked to perfection, & the lobster risotto was a standout: rich, complex, & crowned with two generous lobster tails. Every bite was a celebration in my mouth.
But what truly elevated the evening was our server, Max. He struck the perfect balance of friendly & professional, & gave us a stellar wine recommendation that paired beautifully with our meal. His knowledge & warmth made us feel so well taken care of-he was the star of the night.
Can't wait to return. If you're in Old Montréal, Pincette is a must.View more

Absolutely wonderful experience. I'm from Cape Cod & picky about seafood & this was one of the best fish & chips I've ever had, & that includes London! The fish was perfectly cooked, the batter was light, fluffy, & crispy, & the perfectly dressed salad was the ideal accompaniment. The fries could have been a bit crispier but that's a nitpick. Service was warm & friendly, attentive but not overbearing. If you're on a budget & want to experience this lovely restaurant: go for lunch & split something from the set menu. The fish & chips was more than enough for two & reasonably priced (for Montreal) at 27 CAD which included a starter & an entree. Excellent people-watching from a window seat & just a fantastic experience all around. Merci à tous!View more

4.5/5 Stars for Pincette in Old Montreal
Visited Pincette for lunch on Saturday during the Formula One weekend in June 2025, & it was a delightful experience. Seated quickly on the patio, it's a prime spot for people-watching in the heart of Old Montreal. The vibe was lively yet relaxed, perfect for soaking in the bustling atmosphere.
I ordered the burger with foie gras aïoli-absolutely perfect! The flavors were rich, the patty juicy, & the aïoli added a luxurious touch. Paired it with a Bloody Mary, which was spot-on, with just the right kick. My only gripe? The oyster man hadn't arrived yet (it was early afternoon), so oysters weren't available, which was a bit disappointing.
Overall, Pincette nails the ambiance & food. Highly recommend for a chic lunch in Old Montreal, just double-check oyster availability if that's your thing!View more

Impeccable seafood options & impressive service! In particular, the octopus was cooked perfectly & the scallops were super tender - melt-in-your-mouth levels of delectability. The staff were very attentive & graciously made suggestions for our dishes. Food was served in a timely manner as well. Great restaurant for a special occasion or fancy meal with family & friends.View more

Unbelievable honestly, this is so far my favorite place in Montreal to eat. Last time I had the scallops & caviar. They were seared to perfection, juicy in the center & with the saltiness from the caviar, to die for. Onto the main course, the lobster ravioli, authentic, rustic, with big chunks of lobster. A truly superb dish. I highly recommend this place & I will be back.View more
