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.

Nous avons réservé une salle pour une fête surprise. 21 adultes & 8 enfants. L'espace était intime & assez spacieux. Le personnel était disponible & accomodant. Les plats copieux, goûteux & chauds. Je recommande vivement.

Went in the summer. Had the salmon. It was supposed to be grilled well done. When my plate came it was a piece of fried salmon It was disappointing. The Ceasar salad was so wrong. This was a first & last visit. When you pay the price & service & food was not good.

We were very lucky that there was no line & we got table by the window. Food is excellent, lots of choice. Love the savoury crepes & that they don’t come with all the trimmings (potatoes…) as is perfect for a lighter eater. The omelets were huge & so full of ingredients. Service was so prompt, coffee & water flowing… it didn’t feel like each server had their area, for things like topping up coffee, whomever had the carafe would walk around. & they had time to check in a few times to make sure things were good.
Highly recommend, we often taking visiting friends & family here
