Nouveau restaurant favori ❤? Tout était exceptionnel, en partant du service impeccable, aux propriétaires tellement sympathiques & dévoués, en passant par la cuisine absolument savoureuse (petit plus d'avoir pu rencontrer la si gentille & talentueuse cheffe Magie), la carte des vins plus qu'impressionnante en terminant par les desserts indétrônables. Sincèrement, mon fiancé & moi avons passé une soirée mémorable & nous y retournerons assurément ! 🥰

Le 12 avril, au début de la dernière saison des chefs j'avais décidé de réserver chez vous pour voir & expérimenter le talent de cette jeune chef que je venais de voir à la télé: Magie. Elle est une virtuose des entrées. Je crois avoir pris une entrée de crabe. C'était divin. Ce soir à la grande finale c'est elle qui a le mieux réussis ses 2 entrées. Je ne m'étais pas trompé. Nous étions aller la voir en cuisine, quelle gentillesse & bonté. & voilà ce soir elle gagne le coup de coeur de ses pairs. Ce soir là au resto j'avais le pressentiment qu'elle s'était rendu loin dans la compétition. L'accueil & le service ont été excellent. Bravo à la propriétaire charmante hôtesse & son conjoint qui sait bien choisir ses vins. Le chablis grand cru qu'on a bu était délicieux. Est-ce qu'on recommande ? Sans l'ombre d'un doute. On se sent comme chez soi avec une belle ambiance en prime.

We just finished another superb meal at our favourite Montreal eatery. Every bite was delicious. The new white asparagus dish was outstanding, & the'Crunchy' dessert was delectable. Everything is presented beautifully. The staff are warm, efficient & knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great as always. A wonderful experience!

I had my visit Yesterday night. It was a very nice place with excellent service starting from the host to waiters then the chef.
Very cozy with nice vibes & elegant. Very good collection of cocktails & drinks. Only wish if they had more food options (I had brioche, it was amazing & rolled shrimps which was very delicious & elegant) - I would like to thank the chef for her cooking & obviously she is passionate since she was keen explaining her dish & how it is cooked.

the food presentation is 5 stars indeed - I had a good time over-there & will definitely repeat my visit.

Nous y sommes allés hier soir avec des amis & nous avons pris le menu à l'aveugle & c'était excellent. Rien à redire tous les plats étaient fins & pleins de saveurs. Le service était au top aussi. J'aurai juste aimer avoir un chouilla plus de lumière.
