Place Carmin est largement salue comme une destination culinaire francaise remarquable dans le Vieux Montreal, proposant des plats soigneusement elabores tels que la moelle osseuse, le canard a l orange, le tartare de veau, les coquilles Saint-Jacques dans une puree de pommes de terre, la tarte tatin au boudin et le Paris Brest, avec des cocktails et une carte des vins solide qui complètent l experience. L espace et le service sont souvent describes comme elegants, attentifs et professionnels, ce qui en fait un lieu adapte pour des diners intimes, des evenements privés et des brunchs, tandis que les avis mentionnent une ambiance allant du calme et raffinee a plus anime pour les groupes. Bien que beaucoup de commentaires celebrent la qualite, certains convives trouvent que certains plats ou portions peuvent etre inconsistants et quelques choix du menu ne repondent pas toujours aux attentes, avec des remarques occasionnelles sur le rapport qualite-prix ou le service en periode d affluence, mais l impression generale est que Place Carmin propose une experience incontournable et digne d une etoile, qui pousse les visiteurs a revenir.
Great food. Mushroom soup was amazing. I tried the orange duck, full of soya sauce that totally covered the flavor, didn't really taste the orange. Overall, really good experience.
A1 dinner, really nothing to say. Service was immaculate & all the dishes were really good. On top of the restaurants I've been to in Montreal! Amex card accepted

We're kicking ourselves for not coming here sooner since we already knew Francois Nadon's other 2 gems: Bouillon Bilk, consistently one of the best restaurants in town, & his more casual place Cadet which serves equally inspired food at somewhat more modest prices. Place Carmin is more affordable again, in this case serving classic French bistro dishes with an unexpected level of refinement. It's all in the execution... I'm very curious about his onion soup (haven't had one for decades) but elected to start with a scallop ceviche that may be the best I've ever had. A hint of lemon & paper thin slices of a mildly spicy radish complemented the flavors & textures of the raw scallops perfectly. The dorade was a generous portion with nicely crispy skin. We had no room for dessert. The bill rose to $300 not including tip since we couldn't resist a superb Knoll gruner that accounted for half of it. Actually, the wine list is notable for having so many good choices under $100 & even under $80. This place is an easy recommendation for foodies & casual diners alike.
I came here for a party. The food was outstanding. I got the smoke salmon appetizer, the sea bream & cream caramel dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly. I will definitely be returning to this location.
Beautiful restaurant...great food & drinks!! We had the beef tartare as an appetizer with''Canard à l'orange'' as a main course. Lovely romantic courtyard / terrasse in front !!
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.

Chloe was one of the best waitresses we have experienced. She was knowledgable, friendly & confident. She provided us with spot-on advice on wine choice, main course & dessert. Samuel was an excellent manager, keeping a close eye on all details of the restaurant operation. We were very impressed with the excellent service & quality of food & will come back. Victoria & Paul.
Les portions sont généreuses & le service est très attentionné.
Je recommande l'entrée de pieuvre, l'omble & les champignons poêlés... c'était délicieux!
