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.
First time eating here, surpassed my expectations. Honestly only booked here because all of our usual restaurants were booked up, was expecting a mediocre meal. But wow!!!! Easily a 9/10 dinner. We tried 4 of the little canapés, all delicious. The french onion soup, foie gras, & the duck orange were all excellent. Also tried 2 different cocktails, both super unique & delicious. In addition to the great food, service was friendly & super accommodating to our allergies. Will 10000% be returning, this place might have earned a spot in our regular rotation!!
Always a great choice. Outstanding food, great wine list & cocktails & consistant excellent service. Group, couple, or friends catch up at the bar, Place Carmin is great for all occasions. Beautiful terrace in the summe
Je trouve très dommage que vous vendiez certains vins à 3.32 fois le prix de la saq. C'est un peu exagéré. C'est une belle façon de ternir votre réputation.
Very nice venu for private events. The food was tasty. The service was on time, not too long, not too fast. I usually avoid any cauliflower plates cause they tend to be simple, but their cauliflower dish was very tasty & filling. All their food from the set menu was very good. The room we were in was spacious, private & had its own bathroom. Edit: they change the menu for group events, which is nice if you attend more than one event there
Tucked just a stone's throw from Montreal's vibrant city center, this restaurant comes with an enviable location & solid reputation, making it an attractive choice for dining. However, when our group of 20 gathered there to celebrate a birthday, the experience revealed both the restaurant's strengths & some significant shortcomings. Due to our large party size, we were seated in an upstairs room-functional, but undeniably lackluster. The space felt dated & underwhelming, hardly the setting one might hope for in a celebratory gathering. Downstairs, the ambiance was visibly more polished & sophisticated, but for the upstairs, it seemed the focus had been on capacity rather than charm. Perhaps with fewer guests, we would have enjoyed a more atmospheric space. But let's talk about the food-the one area where the evening truly shone. The dishes, particularly the beef cheeks & salmon tartare, were executed with finesse. Both were well-prepared, flavorful, & offered excellent quality given the price point. From a culinary perspective, the restaurant exceeded expectations. Yet, where the kitchen excelled, the service fell short. Despite genuine effort & an overall willingness to please, the waitstaff were clearly overwhelmed by our group size. The service was stretched too thin, leading to delays & lapses-bread missing from one table, items needing to be requested, etc. Though accommodating, the staff struggled to manage the two separate tables, leaving a noticeable gap in coordination & attentiveness. In sum, this restaurant delivered a strong culinary experience but stumbled in service execution. If you're considering it for a large group, it's worth confirming in advance how they handle sizable parties & whether they can provide the seamless experience you'd hope for on a special occasion. A few logistical improvements could easily elevate what was an enjoyable evening into something truly memorable.
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.
If you want good food, this is the place to go. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, don't go here. I called ahead the day before to let them know we were going to celebrate our friend's birthday, & the hostess assured that they would add a candle to her dessert. We got there, & the server confirmed that we were celebrating a birthday, & then the server did nothing. Basically, it might as well have just been a regular run of the mill dinner. So basically, go here for the food, but don't go here if you want to celebrate something special.
