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.

I wasn't aware that the building also housed a popular brunch spot until a friend, who lives nearby, took me there. The ambiance, combined with the friendliness of the owner & staff, was truly impressive. The menu offered a wide variety of options, & everything was beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the brunch, especially the view of the beautiful water. Their fresh orange juice was incredibly delicious. Moreover, the place is very accessible for wheelchair users & those with other assistive devices. If you're looking for a delightful brunch experience with great accessibility, this is the place to go.

It's a wonderful spot for summer, where you can relax on the terrace & enjoy the view of the water. The place has a cozy, homely feel with a touch of 90s diner charm. The staff is exceptionally polite, & the food is both classic & satisfying.

1st time dining here, it was a nice experience. Nothing you can't find anywhere else, & a bit pricey on the breakfast menu. Very clean bathrooms which is always nice too. A bit of a wait to get the check, but all in all a very pleasant dining experience.

Super beau restaurant sur le bord du fleuve, belle terrasse. J'y vais pour déguster la salade Cesar avec poulet grillé, la meilleure que j'ai mangée jusqu'à auj. Mais ce midi elle était très ordinaire, pas croquante, des grosses tiges du coeur, peu de croûtons & peu de bacon. Salade pas très fraîche selon moi. Très déçue.

J'ai pris la table d'hôtes. La crème de poulet était délicieuse. Le boeuf bourguignon très bon avec légumes & patates. Bonne portion. Je suis rassasié & le prix très raisonnable.
