Sans aucun doute un des meilleurs restaurants'Apportez votre vin' de Montréal. Permet d'avoir une expérience de grand restaurant avec fine cuisine & de boire un grand cru à la hauteur sans payer ce dernier une fortune. Service attentionné & sympathique, ambiance chaleureuse & décontractée. Fortement recommandé!
Tout d'abord, nous avons eu notre assiette après 45 minutes d'attente. Les portions sont extrêmement minimes, on aurait dit une entrée. Nous avons pris les grudis de feta, les ris de veau & la pièce du boucher (onglet). le problème majeur de ces plats, ce sont les accompagnements, quasi inexistants, que des sauces, pas de texture. De plus, le pain est en supplément! Quatre tranches de pain grillé pour 4$. Au niveau de l'ambiance, les tables sont les unes sur les autres. La nôtre était adossée a la réceptionniste, qui se tenait debout dans notre dos.
A noter que le menu est beaucoup trop limité: 4 choix. Je ne comprends d'autant moins le temps d'attente...
Nous n'y retournerons plus.
Nous avons été enchanté de notre soirée. La nourriture était excellente, le service très bien, l'ambiance agréable. La musique n'était pas trop forte .
One of the best restaurant experiences I've had. Every dish was amazing, the service was amazing & don't even start me about the price... Amazing! It definitely deserves a Michelin sta

Le seul bémol concernait les frites qui étaient vraiment trop salées. Aussi, votre question''Combien vous avez dépensé ...'' n'indique pas si c'est avec les taxes & le pourboire. Vous devriez préciser. C'est ce que nous avons mis comme réponse (repas + taxes+ pourboire)
Every time we are in Montreal we come to this place. Everything about it is wonderful, the ambiance, the food, the service. The lighting was magical, all of the courses were delicious, & the service was attentive without being too much. We will come back for sure!
Un moment magique! L'accueil était très chaleureux, le service impeccable, la nourriture excellente & l'ambiance très sympathique ! Je recommanderais cet endroit sans aucune hésitation!
Absolutely amazing experience.
We celebrated my wife's 40th birthday with a group of 10, & everything ran flawlessly. The restaurant is small & cozy, with a warm, intimate atmosphere-not loud, not overwhelming. Service was impeccable. Erica, our waitress, was professional, attentive, & genuinely on point.
The food-classic French cuisine-was delicious & refined. Overall, it was a magical evening, & my love's birthday was a real success. She was happy, & so was I.
Constructive notes (because perfection is suspicious):
The octopus 😭 - unfortunately rubbery. We were told this was an exception & that it's usually excellent. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
The chairs could be more comfortable, especially for a place where guests tend to stay & enjoy the whole evening.
Highly recommended.
& one last thing: for this level of food & service, the bill was surprisingly reasonable-a very welcome bonus in these times.

This tried & true BYOW spot was a great choice on a chilly Friday night. We had tasty oysters , a slightly too salty steak frites followed by a Quebec cheese plate & a rather good squash pie. Service was also a highlight & there were just enough people for there to be a vibe.
Le service était courtois & chaleureux, très apprécié, surtout que nous étions un groupe de 12. Le contre-filet était parfait, & la sauce au poivre vert délicieuse, le doré aussi. Le restaurant est très beau.
