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.

Review Summary

Crescendo stands out for its scenic riverfront setting, inviting atmosphere, and a terrace that showcases the water views, paired with convenient parking. The menu earns frequent praise for reliable quality, generous portions, and flavors across breakfast, brunch, and dinner, with guests noting dishes that feel homemade and satisfying. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, with staff accommodating groups and special requests to ensure a smooth dining experience. The waterfront location and value make it a popular choice for family meals, celebrations, and casual outings, with many appreciating the lively yet welcoming vibe. Some feedback mentions occasional noise or a need for cleaner washrooms, but these concerns are seldom defining compared with the overall positive impressions.

Bavette de boeuf & frites! Délicieux, cuit parfaitement & assaisonnée juste assez. Bonne portion de frites juliennes, super bonnes! Je recommande!

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes allés au restaurant Crescendo avec plus de 40 personnes & le service était rapide, la nourriture délicieuse. J'ai opté pour une salade César. Bien que la salade soit correcte, elle pourrait être améliorée. En revanche, le dessert était délicieux. Quant à la sangria rouge, elle aurait besoin d'une amélioration, car son goût n'était pas tout à fait satisfaisant. C'est un endroit agréable mais qui pourrait bénéficier de quelques ajustements.

Supper : Excellent tasty gastronomical, many choices of dishes. But, they serve the Margarita drinks in regular glasses & not the Margarita cups (-1*). Breakfast : Very good food, but the fruits that come with most dishes are limited. Prices are reasonable.

Le 25 mai était la journée de ma réception de mon mariage & je suis très contente de dire que c'était un succès. Très bel environnement & très bon service. Surtout si vous voulez sauvé de l'argent en terme de réception, ça vaut tellement la peine. Merci à Martin responsable du restaurant très gentil & très professionnel. Plus la nourriture est super bonne. Je le recommande à tout le monde.

Tout était excellent, service, repas (entrées, repas & dessert) table d'hôte pour groupe. Portion bonne, on avait peine à terminer nos assiettes. Sur le bord de l'eau. Je recommande fortement & ce n'est pas la première fois qu'on y va en grand groupe.

First time there. The service was very amicable. We enjoyed our food. My spouse took the Flank steak & it was tender & I had the lasagna. It was a traditional layered lasagna & I liked it. The decor is a little outdated but the view of the waterfront is very nice. Will return for sure

Went for Mother's Day brunch today .. they were so no prepared for he big crowd . Wait time was toooooooo long approx 40 mins for taking the order & then another 30 for serving ... The pancakes for the kids were so disappointing..with a some dried Nutella in the middle .. There was no difference in the crepe & pancake . The vegetarian omelet had pieces of bacon:
