About

Your Window on the River...

Located on Lasalle Boulevard at the intersection of Démarchais, in a park setting, Restaurant Crescendo was elegantly built in 2002 at a cost of three million dollars, with the ultimate goal of delighting all your senses. Whether you find yourself on our spectacular 90-seat terrace or in our 140-seat dining room, whose abundant windows offer breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and Île-des-Sœurs, you are in for a treat.

You will discover refined, evolving Italian cuisine accompanied by personalized and friendly service. Crescendo is open daily, preparing dishes of exceptional freshness just for you. Whether it's for breakfast, a four-course table d’hôte lunch, or a five-course dinner starting at $41, you and your guests will be thoroughly delighted.

In the dining room, Martin Bernier, the owner, welcomes you into a setting where maple wood, stainless steel, and stained glass blend seamlessly to create an enchanting ambiance. Martin will guide you through the exceptional wines in our extensive wine cellar and advise you on our wide variety of privately imported wines, with bottles starting at an affordable $28.

Crescendo does much more than just serve meals—we offer a memorable experience. We work hard to provide impeccable and personalized service along with an excellent selection of dishes and wines. After all, whether you're celebrating a birthday, a special occasion, a professional success, or simply enjoying a lovely evening out, it's our priority to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Beautiful location right on the water with a warm, welcoming vibe. The food was good & the staff was very attentive. A solid spot for a casual dinner or brunch!

Probablement un des seuls restaurants sur le bord de l'eau à Montréal, ce qui est incroyable car Montréal est un île ! Joli terrasse, menu express abordable à 30$ incluant choix de plat, soupe ou salade & café ce qui m'apparaît très raisonnable en cette époque d'inflation galopante.
Cuisine honnête & savoureuse. Le jarret d'agneau est un peu trop salé.
Je. Recommande pour des groupes. Réservez si vous souhaitez être sur la terrasse. Immense stationnement.
En bonus, pas de foutu musique de discothèque ! Merci

La nourriture était délicieuse, chaude, bien présentée dans l'assiette 😋. Les employés sont très gentils & efficaces. On a été bien reçues sur la terrasse avec vue sur l'eau c'était la première fois que je venais manger chez Crescendo & ce ne sera pas la dernière. 👌

Le Crescendo est un endroit idéal pour passer un moment tranquille au bord du fleuve. Un endroit rare!
Le service impeccable. Les serveurs extrêmement gentils & efficace.
Ce n'est pas un restaurant gastronomique mais c'est bon. Les prix sont en conséquence d'un restaurant correct. Nous y allons souvent en famille.

Malheureusement cette fois ce fut raté….

J'ai eu droit à une soupe de moules & non des moules frites comme je connais. …

Les moules baignaient dans un liquide non aromatisé ni parfumé mais bouillant…

Dommage ça ne valait vraiment pas le prix
