If you love good food, execution & the movie The Menu (in the best way) please go to this restaurant. I don't think I could fault a single thing. Service was outstanding. Every course was delicious. & every wine pairing was unique, fitting & delicious. The team is wonderful & you can tell they love what they do. 1110. Go! Ask questions! Also sit at the bar & thank me later.

This restaurant is astonishingly good. When I see "prix fixe," my expectations immediately go up, & yet, Candide shattered every one of them. Entering the cozy setting, you are greeted & treated warmly & genuinely. The service is attentive & generally outstanding. But even if it wasn't, this would've been a transcendent experience. I'm a touring musician with a love of food, & as such have been lucky enough to eat at some really great places all over the world. But I can say without hesitation that this was one of the best. Each of the dishes, & the wine that paired with them, were flawless. A perfectly considered balance of texture, flavor, richness, sharpness, & portion. Each dish was one of the most delicious versions of that thing I've ever had. & to cap it all off, the price was reasonable. About $100 US per person for four courses with wine pairings. I would have happily paid a lot more for this meal. If you're still reading, JUST GO!!

Go for: a roller-coaster culinary experience with local produce & game meat that you didn't think was possible to have. Avoid if: you're going out for dinner on a budget. Something surprising: sitting at the bar was the right choice, with direct service & descriptions from the chefs & lots of conversation with the rest of the staff. Reservation needed? Yes, highly recommended Overall Experience: 5/5. Each course on the menu was surprisingly delicious, the wine pairings were truly unique & actually made sense when consumed with the food, & the entire staff was engaging, knowledgeable, & a lot of fun. Value for Price: 4 Sanitation: 5 Food Quality: 5 Menu Precision: 5 Service Quality: 5 Timing: 5 Decor: 4 Access: 3 - 5 among the best 4 strong 3 not too bad 2 mediocre 1 never again

C'est rare que je suis aussi impressionné par un endroit. Tout était parfait, rien à redire.

La cuisine était tout simplement délicieuse. Des plats qui peuvent parfois sembler simple, étonnent par la profondeur & la richesse de leurs saveurs. Aussi, je n'ai jamais vu un restaurant adapter avec autant de brio les plats en fonction des allergies & restrictions alimentaires. Les accord mets-vins (même pour moi qui n'est pas très vins bio) étaient à tomber par terre.

Un service très attentionné & sympathique. Tous les employés s'occupent de la table. Jamais besoin d'attendre longtemps. Ambiance très agréable & inattendu pour un sous-sol d'église.

À toute l'équipe, chapeau bas.

Un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. Une excellente expérience pas prétentieuse du tout, détendue, avec un décor de bois & brique.

La formule unique en 4 services change tout les mois & propose des plats originaux & plein de goûts adaptés à la saison. On y mange mieux qu'au Toqué, d'autant plus que les ingrédients sont en majorité locaux. Les mocktails changent aussi & sont excellents, tout comme la carte de vins extensive.

Tout dans ce restaurant respire la joie de vivre.
Le service est incroyable, rapide & extrêmement à l'ecoute. Des alternatives à CHAQUE plat seront proposés en cas d'allergie ou intolérance.

Le repas se finit par une petite surprise, dans notre cas une dégustation de miel, une belle touche qui rajoute à la prestation excellente de ce restaurant.

Un très bon moment passé en famille pour l'anniversaire de notre fils. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les petites attentions & ajustements qui ont été faits par rapport à mes intolerances alimentaires. Le service était très efficace & chaleureux: c'était très agréable. Par rapport à la cuisine, l'entrée avec les brocolis & le dessert à la framboise étaient à tomber, les autres plats étaient un peu en-dessous. Mais c'était agréable de manger des produits locaux, frais & caractéristiques du Québec.

Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table & were able to see all the food being prepared & ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste & they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious & made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.

I was so impressed by the food, service & decor at Candide. There were 6 of us for dinner & two of us had the vegan menu. It did not disappoint. Normally, vegan food is a second thought & a subpar option relative to the set offering. But this wasn't the case for candide. Every course was just as divine as the meat / dairy options. Thank you for catering for everyone! You rock.
