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.

Good food & view. Thanks to the chef & unfortunately the waiter was unprofessional & rude. I can say that the guy threw almost everything on the table & ruined my wife's birthday with his behavior.

I'd passed by this restaurant many times before finally deciding to have brunch there. I ordered a bagel with smoked salmon, which was very reasonably priced & offered a beautiful river view. The restaurant had a rustic atmosphere, which made me feel very relaxed & peaceful.

Nice restaurant, lots of parking, reliable quality of food & service, beautiful view of the water & bike path, lovely outdoor terrace in the summertime. However I cannot give this restaurant 5 stars because their washrooms were filthy, & that is an important detail for me. To begin with they are cramped & dark, the sink is leaking into a bucket beneath it, the garbages had not been emptied & were overflowing, & the smell was awful. (It may have been something in the water, I don't know.) I would love to recommend this restaurant, but this tainted my opinion, unfortunately. They seriously need to fix this issue.

My husband brought me there for supper after he tried their breakfast. The restaurant sits beside St. Laurence river in a nice surrounding. We were seated in the terrace equipped with heater to keep us comfortably warm. The view of the river is beautiful. The waiters are very courteous & cater to our needs attentively. We will surely bring/ recommend our friends & family here!!
