This establishment maintains a rigorous standard for consistent execution of foundational French culinary arts.

Nous étions un groupe lors d'une conférence dans la salle dédiée à ce genre d'événement.
La serveuse & ses collègues étaient sympathiques, souriants ayant le sens d'humour.
La cuisine était délicieuse & la présentation des plats était parfaite & d'une beauté séduisante.
Après la présentation de la conférencière la gentille serveuse avait une musique douce d'ambiance & ajustant le volume de temps en temps.
Mérite 5 étoiles
J'y retourne
Place Carmin is a gem & we would go back in a heartbeat. Fabulous service from the front of house staff, especially Fabulous Trevor who took incredibly good care of us & provided incredible menu recommendations. We had the deviled eggs, the oysters, & the arctic char for two, which was incredible. Served crispy skin side up in a bath of a hollandaise-like sauce (forget the name but think of it as a sibling to hollandaise or bearnaise), served with roasted carrots & brussels. Enjoyed a very reasonably priced & astonishingly good, crisp & minerally white (burgundy.) Finished with one of the best Paris Brest we've ever had. Incredibly talented kitchen & extremely well choreographed front of house. Thanks to the entire team & we'll be back!
FABULOUS!!! My husband & I had a lovely dining experience here on Saturday night. We had a lovely greeting as soon as we walked in, were seated towards the front of the main dining room, & was immediately greeted by our lovely waitress. She was personable, professional, & personable & really added to the wonderful experience! The restaurant has super high ceilings, a bar towards the back, outdoor dining (not open yet), & has a cool, light, airy vibe. We ordered cocktails which the bartender brought to our table, veal tartare canape, beef tartare app, the duck & sea bream, plus profiterol & crepe Suzette. Everything was superb, divinely French, beautifully plated, beautifully presented by the runners, perfectly flavored, & delicious at every bite. We are VERY happy with this neighborhood gem & look forward to going back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans un restaurant du Vieux-Montréal. Quatre adultes affamés, & nous sommes tous repartis repus & ravis, tant par la qualité du repas que par le service exceptionnel du staff. L'endroit est magnifique, avec une atmosphère chaleureuse qui ajoute au plaisir de l'expérience.
Bien que ce soit un dimanche soir & que l'affluence ait été modérée, le service a été d'une efficacité remarquable, & nos plats sont arrivés aussi rapidement que si le restaurant avait été plein. En toute sincérité, mis à part un stationnement un peu complexe, je n'ai absolument rien de négatif à dire. Une cuisine française savoureuse, un excellent rapport qualité-prix... Bref, une adresse à retenir !
