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.

First time eating here, surpassed my expectations. Honestly only booked here because all of our usual restaurants were booked up, was expecting a mediocre meal. But wow!!!! Easily a 9/10 dinner. We tried 4 of the little canapés, all delicious. The french onion soup, foie gras, & the duck orange were all excellent. Also tried 2 different cocktails, both super unique & delicious. In addition to the great food, service was friendly & super accommodating to our allergies. Will 10000% be returning, this place might have earned a spot in our regular rotation!!

Je trouve très dommage que vous vendiez certains vins à 3.32 fois le prix de la saq. C'est un peu exagéré. C'est une belle façon de ternir votre réputation.

Very nice venu for private events. The food was tasty. The service was on time, not too long, not too fast. I usually avoid any cauliflower plates cause they tend to be simple, but their cauliflower dish was very tasty & filling. All their food from the set menu was very good. The room we were in was spacious, private & had its own bathroom. Edit: they change the menu for group events, which is nice if you attend more than one event there

The food, the service & the ambiance excellent. Also great for events as they have two private rooms.
