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.

Nice riverside atmosphere with a patio, good service & many menu options. We shared a Caesar salad. A few pieces of the lettuce weren't fresh, & it came with bacon, which I didn't remember seeing on the menu & I had to remove since I don't eat meat.

J'adore ce restaurant! C'est l'un des plus beaux sites sur l'île de Montréal. Au bord de l'eau, avec sentier pédestre & piste cyclable. Le paysage avec vue du fleuve St-Laurent est superbe surtout pour les déjeuners. Maintenant avec spéciaux les lundis & mardis. Les serveurs sont courtois, les menus variés, la nourriture est bonne & les prix raisonnables. Je suis un client depuis près de 20 ans & Crescendo fait partie de ma liste de resto en haut de ma liste.
