My first meal in Montreal & it really set the standard which unfortunately means everything I've had after has been a disappointment.

Set inside the Sofitel hotel this place is best described as a culinary experience. The chef plays with flavors & textures using unique flavors without overpowering you into submission.

It's a subtle dance, teasing & flirting until you fall in love. We ordered the sea water jelly, foie gras, Canadian pike lobster bisque to start with the Chef D'otel, duck breast, pasta with porcini mushrooms & a kids Salmon.

Let's start with the miso bread! Holy smokes it was delicious. Kids salmon is well portioned & they have this decadent orange sauce. Great crust & moist. Sea water jelly with lobster was out of this world. Foie gras was buttery & their brioche was light & fluffy. The duck breast & pasta were good but the star was the Chef d'otel which came with a lobster bisque, a cod which were divine! Never had anything like it. Flavors were subtle & complex highlighting textures & colors.

Don't sleep on the dessert. Like the meal they were uniquely refreshing & fun. Our family including two young daughters gobbled everything up & we were stuffed!

I had a Manhattan cocktail to start & if it was any indication, the cherry was very not your run of the mill.

Best way to describe our experience was a curated collection of wonderful ingredients. Service was friendly, engaging & prompt. We felt catered too & celebrating my mom's birthday with a sparkler on her dessert.

I wish we had more photos but we were just too excited to capture everything. May need to go back isn't the excuse to get photos.

Upscale restaurant within a hotel. Service was impeccable. Food was well presented & of high standards, but not unique. The atmosphere was professional, not personable. Enjoyed once, but probably wouldn't return...

Last night's dining experience at Renoir was a delightful journey for the taste buds. The cuisine, a masterful blend of flavors & finesse, left us utterly satisfied. Each dish was a testament to the chef's expertise, turning simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces. The service was impeccable-professional, attentive, yet unobtrusive, creating a comfortable & welcoming atmosphere. While the decor harkens back to a bygone era, it adds a unique charm to the dining experience, making Renoir not just a meal, but a memorable event. --- Le souper d'hier soir au Renoir a été un véritable voyage pour les papilles. La cuisine, un mélange magistral de saveurs & de finesse, nous a laissés totalement satisfaits. Chaque plat témoigne de l'expertise du chef, qui transforme des ingrédients simples en chefs-d'oeuvre culinaires. Le service était impeccable - professionnel, attentif, mais discret, créant une atmosphère confortable & accueillante. Si le décor rappelle d'une ancienne époque, il ajoute un charme unique à l'expérience gastronomique, faisant du Renoir non seulement un repas, mais aussi un événement mémorable.
