A great find. Michelin recommended is a bonus. We had gougères, veal tartare (one of the standouts),coquilles St-Jacques (scallops in a potato puree), razor clams (also memorable), the blood pudding tarte tatin (not for everyone, but very French!) & the roast beef dish that looked almost too pretty to eat. I also highly recommend the Paris-Brest.

The staff are very friendly & attentive. Fantastic cocktails & a good wine list. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a delicious dinner.

Cannot recommend highly enough: delightful food, service & atmosphere, plus the $45 table d'hôte is an absolute steal

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

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!!
