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.

Beautiful location, no surprises on the menu. Got busy fast, slowing service a bit.

Fabulous food & service at this restaurant. We went in for lunch on a Wednesday & we were seated inside by a window overlooking the water. It was truly a lovely view. The waitress, Lorraine was very welcoming & we could not have had better service. We had the mussels & Caesar salads, the mussels were a huge portion & served hot in a metal pot. The salads were very good with just the right amount of dressing. This is a great spot & next time I go, I will try to save room for dessert as they looked fabulous.

Breakfast is pretty good. But cannot give 5 stars for any breakfast that servers deepfried potatoes. Great patio & dining room. Quality drip Coffee. Good place for families.

Le meilleur endroit de Montréal pour manger au bord de l'eau & le seul restaurant à être physiquement au bord du fleuve, on y va pas pour la qualité de la nourriture & cela n'est pas important mais pour l'endroit & l'accueil.

Thought I had a delightful girls brunch on the water there & was going to suggest it to my family the next time they were looking to get together. Food was just okay, but the place is lovely. My bubble was burst after a friend spoke up about a weirdly advertised meal (The deux deux deux). While the manager comped her meal he came up to her as we were leaving & said he didn't want her business. He's lost more than hers!

Beau restaurant situé sur le bord de l'eau avec une terasse l'été. La salle peu être réserver pour des évènements. La nourriture est bonne, surtout les déjeuner.

Service impeccable, personnel souriant & professionnel. Nourriture excellente & très variée. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Ça vaut vraiment le déplacement, autant pour les déjeuners qu'un repas rapide le midi & en soirée entre amis. Stationnement gratuit sur le terrain du restaurant.
