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.

Beau restaurant, bon service. L'agneau hier (repas du dimanche) n'était pas très bon. Les tables sont très petites. Vous devriez faire chauffer le pain. Sinon dans l'ensemble c'était bien

Tellement tellement bon! Nous avons la chance d'avoir accès a un condo juste en face de La Place Carmin depuis déjà un bon moment. Peut-être que la proximité extrême nous amenait à chercher ailleurs, mais nous n'étions jamais allé. Quelle erreur, nous traverserons sans aucun doute la rue à nouveau. Le tartare de boeuf, les Cavatelli au champignon, la bavette , les Cocktails, les patisseries…! Tout était parfait!! Nous allons y retourner a chaque visite à Montréal sans faute!

Disappointing 100$ seafood tower with 6 bites of hard octopus, 6 decent shrimps, 2 chopped scallops & 12 oysters. The experience is Nothing to write home about, the staff was professional but not warm to make us wanting to comeback.

This is one of my favourite places to recommend to people looking for fine French fare near the Old Port or Ville Marie areas of Montreal. The ambiance is lovely & the service is bar none but the starters are where the truly stand out. I highly recommend the sweetbreads with the gorgeous puff pastry topper & the blood pudding tatin is, for me, an absolute must. For the mains, my only suggestion is to avoid the hanger steak if you prefer yours rare/blue as they are pre-cooked sous-vide to a specific temp, then finished on the grill, which makes any cook under medium rare impossible. Otherwise, anything on the menu is sure to please. Be sure to add a side of their delicious mushrooms in persillade. Bon appetit!
