About

Place Carmin centers its culinary identity on traditional French techniques applied to an extensive selection of fresh maritime ingredients and flame-grilled meats. The menu emphasizes precise preparation methods that highlight the inherent quality of sustainably sourced fish and shellfish alongside robust cuts of beef. Patrons encounter a focused culinary approach where the natural flavors of seafood take precedence, supported by rich, reduction-based sauces and seasonal vegetable accompaniments. The interior environment prioritizes functional simplicity, allowing the direct connection between the open grill station and the dining floor to define the atmosphere. Each plate demonstrates a commitment to classic continental preparation styles, ensuring that charred proteins and delicate aquatic elements remain the primary focus throughout the experience. This establishment maintains a rigorous standard for consistent execution of foundational French culinary arts.

Came here for a date night, the atmosphere was good, the restaurant feels very grand & luxurious making it the perfect place for a date. Enjoyed our meal, it's hard to find chimichurri on a menu in Canada!

Trevor was a great server & the gin martini was on point. Food was delicious. Scallop ceviche, deviled eggs, leek puff pastry, & the cod are all great. Peach crepe for dessert. The facade of the restaurant is equally as beautiful as the interior.

10/10, no notes.

Seeiously, Place Carmin is something special. From the minute you walk in the door you are taken care of & the ambiance is set by the beautifully minimalist but elegant atmosphere. Despite there being several tables in the room, we felt like we were the only people there because of how amazing the service was!

Beyond service, the food was an absolute culinary delight. We kept raving about each dish & left with full bellies & full hearts. Honestly, not a bad sip or bite the entire night.

Thank you for everything & we absolutely look forward to coming back in the future!

Never heard of this place. Don't know why I'm being harassed to write a review of a place I've never visited. Google reviews are out of control

An elegant restaurant in old Montreal. Visited for brunch & all dishes we ordered were amazing. Nice atmosphere. Service can be a bit slow when crowded.

Très bonne nourriture mais le service est ordinaire. La serveuse impatiente avec un air de trop sérieux & même très sévère, sans jamais sourire. Elle ne méritais pas un pourboire de 15% ou plus. Elle devait changer de métier je crois.

Service was good.
Staff are polite & knowledgeable.
But the food was simply ok! a bit disappointing! Portions seemed on smaller sides given the price & the taste was ok.
Out of 5 dishes we ordered 3 were either too salty or the sauce was off on the salad! maybe they are stronger on Brunches!?
