Pas trop bruyant, on peut s'entendre. Gougères aux épinards & faisan en croute, excellent.

It is rare that I feel this confident about a restaurant recommendation, but Place Carmin is one of the best restaurants in which I have ever eaten & should certainly be on your list if you are in the Montréal area. Having visited several Michelin star restaurants this year, the experiences are still fresh in my mind, & I can honestly say that the preparation of the dishes at Place Carmin were as precise & wonderful as anything I have had this year. Although I am certainly not saying this was a Michelin experience, the food was definitely of similar quality. We had the honour of chef Émile Colette preparing our food, & although the dishes were simple in concept & design, they were delicious & prepared without fault. Techniques employed here allowed only the best aspects of each dish to shine & ensured just enough of the bitterness or burned flavour of certain ingredients came through, giving the diner a fulsome experience while downplaying the harshness that is required to balance the dish. Portions were reasonable given the quality of the dishes, & the price for this type of meal was very reasonable & far less than that of local restaurants with more tenure & a higher profile. While other Montréal staples still did not disappoint, I will certainly say that this is the first time visiting Place Carmin, but definitely not the last.

Service exceptionnel, ambiance feutrée, éclairage parfait. Seul bémol sur la nourriture, les condiments marinés omniprésents m’ont déplu. Super concept, resto recommandé.

Sat at the bar because we walked in without reservations (although Google predicted it would not be busy), super friendly Bartender explained the menu & served us. Host offered us a table that freed up shortly after we sat down, but we were happy & stayed put.
