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.

Food was delicious. Tried the flank steak & Leek Puff Pastry as well as the Crepe Suzette. Honestly was really pleased with every dish. Simple but flavourful. Would say the crepe suzette is too small of a portion, only one crepe comes with the dish.

Première expérience : plateau fruits de mer en entrée avec huîtres & couteaux excellents servis (sur les conseils d une incroyable Amélie ) avec un vin bulles méthode champenoise québécoise. . Puis un sancerre rosé léger excellent du domaine dénizot sur une bavette sur grill pour moi ( hélas trop salée) & des frites à la … quebecoise (trop cuite pour des français)? Mais ai goûté la morue sur bouillon de bouillabaisse choisi par mon mari ExCEllent !
Bref très belle première expérience & surtout bluffé par l'accueil du nouveau maître D hotel & de la très professionnelle Amélie ! Qualité de Service très rare de nos jours !
Ps: petit bémol : un des serveurs nous a apporté le plateau de fruits de mer avec cheveux longs … il était gêné par sa mèche. Ça… c est très mauvais point pour moi.

I went to Place Carmin for a solo lunch as I was in the area & I was not disappointed. The food a was amazing & the service was also top notch. At the time of this review (May, 2025) there is major construction on the street directly in front of the restaurant so please be aware of the possibility of severe traffic & the difficulty to find nearby parking. The restaurant played really relaxing jazz music during my meal which was a nice addition. Highly recommend & I will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing menu. One of many meals my fiancée & I had while roadtripping through Canada & the best dish during the trip was the canard a l'orange here! That being said, everything was delicious from the canapés to the oysters to the escargot on bone marrow to the veal steak & shrimp surf n turf. Our server was excellent & the bar even made me a delicious freshly brewed lemon iced tea as I don't drink. Also dessert was heavenly.
