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.
