The culinary approach centers on a rotating selection of produce that dictates the structure of every plate served. Each composition prioritizes raw textures and earthy flavors derived from the immediate surrounding landscape. This establishment emphasizes a farm-to-table philosophy where the integrity of individual components remains the primary objective for the kitchen. Guests encounter an atmosphere defined by purposeful minimalism and a stripped-back aesthetic that complements the organic nature of the ingredients. The menu remains fluid to reflect the exact state of available harvests throughout the changing seasons. This rigorous commitment to regional agriculture ensures that every dish maintains a profound connection to the local ecosystem while showcasing traditional preparation methods.

Incredible, worth every penny. Visited in October & was blown away by the outstanding service & exceptionally creative menu. Particularly loved the wine pairing, roast pork with radicchio, & the incredible savoury dessert (buttermilk cheese with grilled shishito pepper). I strongly recommend to anyone in Montreal to spoil themselves to this menu in full, you will not be disappointed.

All perfect! Everything was delicious. Open kitch. A tad bit noisy, especially when getting the dish & wine info from our hostess but still, will be back soon!

Repas plus que parfait. Service excellent. Un peu bruyant & trop sombre selon moi. C'est un peu dommage de ne pas bien voir le jeu des couleurs dans son assiette.

C'est une expérience culinaire vraiment agréable. L'accord mets/vins est vraiment intéressant & nous permet de sortir de notre zone de confort. Le service est impeccable.

Food was inventive, fresh, tasty & not pretentious. Service was not rushed at any point. I'd definitely go back in a few months when the menu changes.

Excellent service, nice decor. The set menu was full of flavour & locally sourced. I don't even like tomatoes & green beans that much & I still enjoyed the second course. The halibut & the vegetable plate were fantastic. The dessert wasn't a bit too corn-ey for me but was still well done. All the cocktails were nice & well presented but I think the Tarragon was the best.

Nous avons passé un très bon souper au restaurant. Tous les plats étaient délicieux (mention spéciale à la cuisson du flétan qui était parfaite !). L'équipe était à l'écoute & très sympathique. Nous reviendrons certainement !
