Les avis sur Place Carmin convergent vers une expérience culinaire française raffinée dans un cadre élégant et lumineux, avec des salles privées prisées pour anniversaires et groupes et une atmosphère à la fois chic et chaleureuse. Le service est généralement salué pour son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance, certains le décrivant comme exceptionnel et attentif, d'autres notant que la cadence peut ralentir lorsque le restaurant est très fréquenté. La cuisine est largement plébiscitée pour sa créativité et la qualité des plats, allant du canard a l orange au tartare de boeuf en passant par le bone marrow, l'arctic char et des desserts comme la crepe Suzette, les plats se distinguant par leur finesse et leur présentation. Des commentaires évoquent des portions parfois généreuses et d'autres fois plus modestes, avec un ressenti de rapport qualité prix élevé particulièrement lors des brunchs, qui peuvent aussi être décevants lorsque l'organisation n est pas à la hauteur. Les expériences en privatisation, l organisation et l ambiance sont décrites comme impeccables, renforçant l impression d un lieu spectaculaire et raffiné dont l équipe sait prendre soin des clients et dont on envisage volontiers le retour lors d une prochaine visite à Montréal.
Nous avons célébré notre brunch de mariage chez Place Carmin, dans leur magnifique salle privée, & tout était absolument parfait.
La salle est superbe, très lumineuse - un vrai bonheur en plein hiver. L'atmosphère était chaleureuse & élégante, idéale pour accueillir nos 20 convives dans une ambiance intime & raffinée.
Les canapés, le brunch & les bouchées en dessert étaient vraiment délicieux - tout le monde s'est régalé. Mention spéciale pour le mimosa servi à l'arrivée, une attention qui donne immédiatement le ton festif.
Le service était présent, mais toujours discret, ce que nous avons particulièrement apprécié.
Un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce merveilleux moment qui a parfaitement prolongé notre week-end de mariage. Nous recommandons sans hésiter ! 🥂✨

My experience was amazing because of service (first & foremost shout out to Jean-Michel), food, & atmosphere.
During our visit, we started with ordering what we thought were good plates (they absolutely were) but it turned into a Michelin star experience when Jean -Michel took the reigns & ordered his recommended plates & side dishes.
Listen. Everything here is amazing. There's a reason you found this restaurant in a list somewhere of best in Montreal so the last one here doesn't mean it's bad but in order of our favorite dishes, we had:
• Brussel Sprouts - this is a side dish but it's got main course energy. I would undoubtedly order this by itself for take out. Place Carmin could open a side restaurant that ONLY makes this dish & it would be wildly successful. Yes, I'm hyping this up. No, I don't take it back.
• Bone Marrow - this is as good as the picture shows. I was surprised with the escargot & mushroom but the flavor was strong. Sharing is the way to go. It's very flavor forward so if you are this by yourself, it may get overwhelming but this dish also stands out.
• Soup of the Day - this dish, as the name suggests, changes but we had a cauliflower cream. It felt like such a home dish cooked by grandma. It took me back to my childhood in Montreal (I'm not from here - that's how good it is).
• Boston Lettuce - I am from Boston so you know I had to order this. The yogurt is everything. The croutons & texture all works in tandem. Take a picture (we failed to do so) but then mix it all & enjoy this.
• Arctic char à la Grenobloise - this is a big fish. Definitely for two. Yes, we order another main along with this & I regret nothing. I've never had such a large piece of dish cooked to perfection throughout. It's garnished with what felt something pickled & it complemented the charred earthy skin of the fish.
• Crêpe Suzette - this dish starts hot out of the kitchen as the video shows. It's delicate, not overwhelmingly sweet, & just what we needed after ordering 3/4 of the menu
• Surf & Turf - this also changes on the daily (I may be wrong). During our visit I believe it was a hangar steak with shrimp & scallops. It came with a sauce. Meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, & tender. Towards the end, the sauce was strong that gave it a saltier than preferred taste but still had no issues.
• Gnocchi - I've never had gnocchi the way served here & I absolutely would order it again. It comes over home made sauces that have a yogurt flavor. Great crunch outside & fluffy inside.
• Salmon Tartare - the salmon was mixed in with cucumber & came accompanied with lettuce, crackers, & French creme that helped balance the dish. It was a great start of the culinary journey
• French Fries - these came with surf & turf. Done well, but it's just French Fries
I want to end with a huge thank you to Place Carmin, it's kitchen for their amazing work, & front-of-house staff that made it unforgettable, particularly Jean-Michel. I will visit every time I'm in Montreal
Excellent restaurant pour un événement de groupe privé! La nourriture était délicieuse & le service était attentionné & efficace. La salle privée était superbe avec une belle ambiance. Je recommande fortement Place Carmin pour leur organisation parfaite pour les événements privés!
Fantastic food & incredible service. If you have a large group, highly recommend the tasting menu where you get to try all of the popular dishes. Jean Michelle was our server & he was very kind to our group + great about answering the questions we had.
I got really nice experience here. The restaurant atmosphere is nice. Environment is quiet & the service is good. Orange duck & the fillet are awesome, & I really love the scallop which is really refreshing. Other dishes are good as well. The price match the quality of their food. Wait time is not so long. Strongly recommended. I will revisit this restaurant if I come to Montreal again.
Un très bon restaurant, avec un très joli cadre ! J'ai jamais goûté des champignons aussi délicieux ! Je les recommande fortement ! La crème brûlée était trop bonne & les quantités très généreuses.

After I went there yesterday I can definitely say that it's my favorite restaurant in Montreal.
I went there to celebrate a special occasion for two & our table was a bit surrounded by others so I asked on reception to move us, & they did!
The evening was amazing. Cocktail that I had had a rich taste & classic french elegance. We ordered a fish for two & the portions didn't disappoint.
I would strongly recommend this place to everyone!!
This was our favourite meal of our trip. We went to Modavie the day before & I was just so disappointed with the food there.
Definitely recommend trying Place Carmin out. Our favourite was the blood pudding tatine & duck orange. So so good! Will definitely come back when we visit Montreal again.
I went to Place Carmin for a solo lunch as I was in the area & I was not disappointed. The food a was amazing & the service was also top notch. At the time of this review (May, 2025) there is major construction on the street directly in front of the restaurant so please be aware of the possibility of severe traffic & the difficulty to find nearby parking. The restaurant played really relaxing jazz music during my meal which was a nice addition. Highly recommend & I will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!
Food is original & delicious! Service is fast, friendly & impeccable! Highly recommend this restaurant that also has two closed rooms for groups such as b-day celebrations etc.

Went to Place Carmin for the first time today & it was an amazing experience! Every meal was delicious, especially the beet salad & the duck à l'orange, the service was amazing & the decor was beautiful. I'd recommend to anybody!
Place Carmin is not just a restaurant, it is an experience ! 🌟❤?
FABULOUS!!! My husband & I had a lovely dining experience here on Saturday night. We had a lovely greeting as soon as we walked in, were seated towards the front of the main dining room, & was immediately greeted by our lovely waitress. She was personable, professional, & personable & really added to the wonderful experience! The restaurant has super high ceilings, a bar towards the back, outdoor dining (not open yet), & has a cool, light, airy vibe. We ordered cocktails which the bartender brought to our table, veal tartare canape, beef tartare app, the duck & sea bream, plus profiterol & crepe Suzette. Everything was superb, divinely French, beautifully plated, beautifully presented by the runners, perfectly flavored, & delicious at every bite. We are VERY happy with this neighborhood gem & look forward to going back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
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.

Delicious French cuisine. We loved the combination of ingredients & the fish & duck were well cooked. Crunchy outer skin & tender inside. Highly recommended!
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.
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!
Spacious restaurant, great food, nice staff✨. I had my birthday there with a group of 18 people including a kid, the tables was setup as two tables next to each other & one in a separate row but thanks to them🙏🏻as they managed to accommodate us well in one row finally. I Highly recommend this restaurant for small or large group.
I loved my dining experience with Place Carmin. As a non French speaking tourist I was worried but the staff were all very friendly & took time to explain the dishes. 100% of everything we ordered was top notch quality & memorable. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to any friends.
