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 !
Mamma mia! This was the absolute best lunch we've had while in Montreal. The food was mouthwatering, the service so attentive & kind, the atmosphere elegant & relaxing. Highly highly recommended.
Sans nul doute l'une des meilleures adresses de Montréal. Le cadre est absolument enchanteur, & la carte est on ne peut plus alléchante. Le rapport qualité-prix est plutôt bon, car certains plats sont vraiment abordables. À tester !
Beautiful space, attentive & professional service, & excellent food. Our experience would have been perfect had it not been for the obnoxious table next to us.
The food was basic French bistro dining. It wasn't over the top, but was still wonderful. Everything was tasty & the service was fast. The service was excellent & our waiter was very helpful in all our questions. The atmosphere is very cozy & warm.

Thank you Trevor for a great evening! We got the sweetbread, jambon cru, pork, canard à l'orange & the Paris Brest. It was all so good ! Very comfortable & calm energy in the restaurant. Will come back for sure.
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!
Delicious French cuisine. We loved the combination of ingredients & the fish & duck were well cooked. Crunchy outer skin & tender inside. Highly recommended!

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.
We came here as a family, & it was nothing less of great. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was very calming, & the service was top notch. I recommend this restaurant to anyone even passing by.
