Magnifique endroit, le service incroyable. Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette expérience vrai. La bière, les cocktails & la bouffe tout étaient à la hauteur d'une soirée bien réussi.
Excellent experience, especially the helpful & friendly staff! All the entrees & drinks we ordered were fantastic. Project Pilote is definitely a high point of our visit to Montreal!

I'm a regular & I can say this is definitely somewhere to have a drink to catch up with a friend or have a simple nice date. If you come to just pass by & have a cocktail, this is definitely the place. If you're here to also eat, you won't be deceived! They make both their menu & their cocktail menu seasonal (with & without alcohol). The head bartender also makes his own non alcoholic liqueur so for the people that don't drink, this is your place! The creations there are as unique & as personalized as possible. The entire staff is friendly & I always end up in a small conversation with each & every one of them. I also pay different totals every so often so I won't put a specific price but I promise you won't be deceived at Projet Pilote!
Superbe adresse aux cocktails uniques !
Mention spéciale au barman Jacques, un vrai passionné qui maîtrise parfaitement l'art des mocktails avec des recettes originales & maîtrisées. Un endroit à recommander sans hésitation.
L'ambiance était agréable, mais la nourriture était correcte sans plus, rien de vraiment « wow ». Les portions étaient très petites. Mon mocktail a été oublié & j'ai dû le rappeler à un autre serveur. Lors de la prise de commande, le serveur connaissait à peine les allergies, ce qui n'était pas du tout rassurant. Mon amie avait pris le smash burger avec des frites : le burger est arrivé, mais les frites seulement après qu'elle ait terminé, & ce, après les avoir redemandées trois fois. Honnêtement, je n'y retournerais pas.

I'll be honest - I had no intention of going to Le Projet Pilote, I didn't even know it existed. The original plan was to go to La Banquise for dinner, but upon arrival, we realized that the wait was an hour, so my friends I pivoted & decided to just go to the restaurant next door to La Banquise - which happened to be Le Projet Pilote, where I had THE. BEST. MEAL. OF. MY. ENTIRE. LIFE. I'm not exaggerating when I say that - truly everything we ordered was a total knockout. My friend ordered an old fashioned & said it was in her top three that she's ever had (which is an incredibly high honor). To eat, we ordered the mushroom toast, scallops, truffle parmesan fries & the gnocchi to share, & each dish was more spectacular than the last. I realized at Projet Pilote that I'd never truly experienced real gnocchi before-theirs was so incredibly light & pillowy, unlike anything I've ever had. The truffle parmesan fries were outstanding-easily the best I've ever had. Unlike other places that rely on drenching fries in low-quality truffle oil, these struck the perfect balance. They were beautifully crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, & the truffle flavor was present without being overpowering. The scallops were perfectly prepared, & although we were full after our dinner, we knew we just had to try the desserts. We ordered the strawberry shortcake dessert & I forget the name of the second dessert - but both were spectacular. The second dessert we ordered was a hundred layers of the most delicate paper-thin pear sheets, baked into a pie & served with homemade rum raisin ice cream on top - you could taste the rum in the ice cream! In summary, go here, order everything on the menu & spend the rest of your days dreaming about going back.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par le barman qui nous a recommandé (selon nos goûts) des cocktails originaux & délicieux. Le lieu n'est pas trop bruyant & la musique est bien choisie. Nous reviendrons.

C'était très bon! Nous avions pris un plat d'hôte avec entrée, plat & dessert. Tout était frais & savoureux. Le service était excellent. Nous avons aussi choisi un testeur de rhums de plusieurs pays (Brésil, Réunion, Haïti) & avons apprécié que le serveur prenne le temps d'expliquer leur provenance ainsi que leurs notes.
Exceptional menu both in terms of drinks & food. The cocktails are original & heavenly & the ambiance is quite cool! Mad props for the live music situated discreetly on the upper level above the entrance.
This place is a hidden gem & deserves WAY MORE recognition.
Food is incredible & changes by the season, with a few staples like the smash burger.
It's both a microbrewery & micro distillery. They make their own beers & gin. They also have an amazing wine list & all cocktails are incredible. I tried their Carolina reeper spicy stout & it was perfectly balanced.
We recently went for a birthday party. The event coordinator was super accommodating & easy to work with.
We shared plates (hello ricotta gnocchi with corn!) & the staff was both very helpful & efficient.
It's also a perfect spot for girls night or a date ;)
Brasserie convivial où les serveurs & le barmaid sont très sympathiques. Les cocktails sont originaux & bons. Je vous conseille de tester les desserts & en particulier le gâteau au maïs qui est surprenant.

The entire experience from beginning to end was perfect. The staff here is incredible. The food is fresh & delicious. The beer they make is delicious. The gin they make is...delicious. Each staff member we spoke with spent time explaining some aspect of the food or drinks or process that they love. Get the burger. Get the dessert. Get the gin drink. Get whatever they are making.
Super atmosphere, merveilleux service. Super bon drink, je recommande définitivement cet endroit! & j'ai même pas encore goûter la bouffe ou la bière qui, j'en suis certain sont spectaculaires.
Je vais revenir !
The beer was very good - I especially loved the Sweet Caroline (imperial stout), specifically the way it smelled. But the real kicker was that the bartender was so nice, I actually felt bad leaving (I apologized that I was going to leave).
