5 stars on all aspects - food, hospitality, service, overall experience. Absolutely a fine dining one should experience. The crew makes sure to explain the menu & the process so that you can choose the right option. What I specifically liked was the portion size - it wasn't too huge but also not too small to keep you hungry. It was as if curated by experts. Hats off to the service as well. Made sure they give enough time to the guests for each course. Definitely recommend this.

Beautiful restaurant, great service, great wine selection & really appreciated that it's farm to food. We were so pleasantly surprised. The tasting menu catered for a vegetarian & another dairy free. The location & terrace was stunning surrounded by all the herbs grown by the restaurant & fairy lights. A night to remember thanks to the amazing food & service

Excellent all around. The food was inventive, local, & delicious. The outdoor terrace is behind a church & out of site of the street. Very charming. Top service.

Gorgeous restaurant with great food. Wine list is one of the most creative & well-thought out that I've seen in Montreal. Definitely worth the pairing menu.

Bread: 10/10; wine: 8.5/10 (4 out of 6 wines were extraordinary, one was just decent, one was ok); kohlrabi entree: 9/10; tomato soup: 5/10; halibut plat: 8/10; cru berger fromage: 11/10; maple ice cream: 10/10.

Super lovely team with so many attentive servers & chefs.

The first two courses were delicious but the main course portion size was disappointing (tiny!). Delicious bread. The music was slightly too loud so we had to raise our voices a bit.
