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.

We had a reservation at Bouillon Bilk(the great great french restaurent in Montreal) but in the morning they texted us that it went on fire unfortunately, & they offered 3 other similar restaurants that we could call & reserve in stead. We chose Place Carmin: A Nice terrace with cozy table & nice staff. But the meal wasn't exactly what i ordered. I ordered surf & turf , the waitress said it comes with lobster (in stead of shrimps), which it didn't. But that's not all. The suf part(which normally includes (3)grilled shrimps turned out to be teeny tiny tasteless cooked shrimps on a toast with some sauce. They were the size of small macaronis. It was a disappointment. The steak was a 6(out of 10), i couldn't feel the taste of it, cause it was submerged in a green sauce (it was like a plate of soup with a steak in it). But to be fair, the rose wine that the waitress suggested, was very good & matched the meals. & the dessert was ok. However I don't think am gonna go there again though.
