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.

It was a good experience & atmosphere. Had chicken parmesan, it need some improvement especially on the sauce since it was acidic.

One of the most delightful atmospheres in Montreal, boasting an amazing view of the St. Lawrence River throughout all seasons. Perfect for brunch, with courteous & attentive staff, & it's reasonably priced with a variety of menu options. If you plan to use public transportation, the Verdun station is about 6-7 min walking.

5.0

Riverside Italian restaurant with great mussels! Superb service, generous portions, not expensive & great views of the St Lawrence. $16 Cad for more than I could eat & bread served with marinara. So I splurged on the creme brulee. Would return next time in Montreal.

Beau, bon & pas trop chers. Le serveur était très gentil. Pas de réservation. Donc si l'on ait quelques personnes, ils faut s'armer de patience. Mais les assiettes sont abondantes & la nourriture arrive rapidement. L'attente en vaut la peine.

First time in Montreal, visiting from America. The menu had a great selection. Our waitress was quite rude to us though because we didnt speak french. Our food was delicious & plentiful. Our waitress didnt come to our table much & when it was time to pay our check, she had attitude. Her attitude made us uncomfortable but the food made up for some of it. I would get take out from there, but idk if i would dine there again.

One of my favorite restaurant for breakfast! The waiters are always nice, the food is good & the view is beautiful if you're sitting next to a window. I like to go on their terrace during summer. The bread is very basic. Potatoes are seasoned which is nice.

Hubby was feeling romantic, & so he chose this lovely restaurant with an amazing view. We have absolutely no complaints. Everyone was so friendly! My favorite was the flan. It was the perfect combination of sweet & slightly bitter. Hubby loved the pasta & mushroom soup. We will definitely be returning to try the other dishes.
