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.

Très belle expérience au Crescendo, avec grande terrasse, vue sur le fleuve & près d'un beau grand parc animé. Menu varié qui met l'eau à la bouche. Nourriture fraîche, appétissante. Assiettes bien garnies. Personnel sympathique, compétent & professionnel. C'est pour toutes ces raisons que je dis souvent que le Crescendo est l'un des meilleurs restos de Montréal.

We always go for brunch & definitely is a great place, with nice view, good food, & friendly staff. This time we celebrated my husbands 40th birthday with a big group of friends & family & everything was amazing. We had a 3 course menu & the food was great as always. The staff were very friendly & went beyond our expectations.

Un réel plaisir pour une soirée d'amis ou un groupe de collègues. J'ai fait une réservation d'environ 25 personnes pour un souper de Noël avec le travail. Martin & Audrey ont offert un excellent service tout au long du processus. Que ce soit pour la planification, l'arrangement des détails & même le service lors de l'événement. Le rapport quantité/qualité est prix est très bien. Nos assiettes furent généreuses & les plats biens réussis, particulièrement la bavette de boeuf. C'est une recommandation à coup sûr!

Le service était excellent. Le repas était bon mais sans plus, la sauce des moules ainsi que celle de la salade césar était trop dilué. J'y suis allée aussi précédemment pour un brunch & là leur déjeuner était très bon. Ça dépend ce que vous prenez.

It was my first time at this restaurant, the waiter was friendly & accomadating. The food tasted good although, I hesitated to eat it. I had ordered chicken wings & fries it came with salad & dessert. It was presentation that through me off. My food was served on a bamboo board. It look like a cutting board to me. I had asked a waiter why was my food served on a cutting board he said it was a bamboo plate & that's what they traditionally served chicken wings on, he also said, if I had the Beef Flank, it would be the same, it also gives more room to put the bones. I was glad he had explained to me the reasoning behind it, but, in my opinion a plate would have been better, it was very weird to me. That was the only Con.
