Une déception.
QUESAQO!? 80$ pour un mocktail, un cocktail & deux assiettes tapas.
Les quantités de la nourriture sont vraiment à revoir.
Quand l'assiette est arrivée on nous dit « voici les tomates », effectivement pcq c'est des tomates cerises mais quasiment pas de gravlax. Le menu indique que ce sont des plats. Non. Ce sont des tapas.
Penchons nous sur la composition de ces tapas, qui ont attisé notre curiosité.
Commençons par les tomates & gravlax de poisson, littéralement 6 tomates cerises coupés en deux & 3cm3 de « poisson gravlax ». Je cache pas que j'ai regardé mon pouce est ai trouvé qu'il était plus gros que la quantité de poisson qu'on nous a servi. Les loyers sont cher à Montréal mais il faut pas pousser. À regarder l'assiette on y trouve plus de mayonnaise que de poisson, qui d'ailleurs est mélangé aux 6 tomates cerises, pcq une présentation digne d'un gravlax révélerait de manière bien trop évidente le ridicule de la quantité. Il est évident que quelque chose cloche dans la composition de ce « plat ». Malheureusement, bien que jolie, les fleurs sur la mayo ne comblent pas le manque de quantité. Si on doit parler du goût, c'est correct.
Le hummus quant à lui est tellement salé que la mer noir en est jalouse.
Il serait judicieux de renommer votre carte « tapas » & non « plats ».
L'accueil est correct & la place en rooftop est obtenue assez rapidement pour un vendredi soir.
Je met deux étoiles pour le personnel qui accueil & par ce que le lieu est très beau.
Je n'y reviendrais pas, par conséquent je ne conseille pas.View more

One of my favourite spot downtown. They have great kolsch. I'm not crazy about their food but definitely a good spot for drinks. In the summer they have a rooftop terrace.View more

Really cool multiple-floor rooftop bar (definitely go to the rooftop) in the middle of Montréal's organic Chinatown named after mathematician Henri Poincaré. Fun mathematical designs & creative drinks for anyone looking to enjoy a night out drinking in the fresh air. I had a mezcal that was wonderfully spiced & my partner had a sweet cocktail that was also delicious. Wish they had more references to the Poincaré Conjecture being resolved 🙈View more

This place has seating & a bar downstairs & also rooftop seating. I cannot comment on the rooftop as I did not wait for it. I got the beef & broccoli. The beef was super tender & the broccoli was cooked just right. Flavor was great. Nothing to complain about there. The bar had a fair selection but it wasn't everything I hoped for. (This was a recurring theme for the uppity restaurants in the area. Doesn't anyone carry more whisky selection here?) The staff was great & they seated me right away. They recognized that I did not speak french & explained that I could wait for the rooftop & sit at the bar. When there was space on the rooftop they kindly asked if I was interested & I declined. The inside seating was cool & dim. The music got a little louder as the night progressed. Maybe a touch too loud for me but I guess I'm getting old...View more

Been here twice now & have hated it twice. The rooftop bar is lovely, but the cocktails are some of the worst I've ever tasted. Just come out after drinking one that tasted like urinal balls seasoned with off-brand mouthwash. Shouldn't have forced it down, but the service was slow & it started raining, so we had to leave anyway as we were getting soaked. Not had the food, but freaking A are their cocktails bad.View more

Went for drinks on the rooftop. Initially we were told it was closed. I thought they just stopped seating people there. We sat downstairs inside waiting about 5 minutes then told a spot opened at the bar. The service was kind of slow but it was ok. Rooftop was nice.View more

Probably the coolest & most laid-back rooftop bar in Montreal. They offer a nice selection of locally brewed draft beer, with friendly service, right in heart of Montreal's Chinatown. Unfortunately, I haven't try the food yet, but the German beer was delicious, so I'm sure to be back to select more of their menu. To be honest, the main attraction is the rooftop, so I wonder if Poincaré is as appealing in the winter when you'd be delegated indoors, on the floor below. In any case, Poincaré is lots of fun & worth a visit.View more

I had exactly the same experience as another reviewer from a few weeks ago. My friend & I stood awkwardly for the hostess to spot us while it was quiet inside with barely any customers. We didn't eat, but the drinks were mediocre & way overpriced. We were asked to pay immediately before we even got out drinks, like why do I need to tip before I even get the service & why does 18% show as the minimum on the machine? Bloody Caesar was too salty & spicy for no reason. My friend waited a much longer time just for a draft beer. When we were finally told there was room on the rooftop, we had to basically sit right next to another group & share their table, which seems to be a normal thing at that place but still felt awkward, & there really isn't much of a view to justify going up there anyway. I'm guessing the food must be this business' strong point since most people are leaving enthusiastic reviews based on that, but from what we've seen this place is outrageously overrated & you can do a lot better in the area.View more
