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.

Extensive breakfast menu including eggs Benedict crepes & more, food was tasty & service was good we did not feel rushed & enjoyed our meal. Nice location to take a walk on the waterfront after a meal. Limited parking spaces when restaurant is full

Service kind of odd. The waitress insisted that there were two entrées but no coffee with the table d’hôte menu. The table on the terrasse continued to wobble after an attempt by staff to wedge something. I just gave up & continued sloshing wine around in the glasses eith the wobbly table. Close by to 5160 for a show though.

Très beau lieu le service lors de notre passage était très bien la qualité de la nourriture également c'était un dimanche donc même à 13:30 ils servent le déjeuner. n
Nous étions 10 nous avons attendu pour être placer côté terrasse pour avoir vu sur l'eau & nous regrettons pas notre choix car certains y était déjà allé je recommande.

Very nice place by the st. Lawrence river. Beautiful park surroundings, massive deck patio. It was a Sunday & it was full of older folk enjoying the huge menu of excellent food. A bit expensive but damn good food.

Brunch très très moyen. La salle à manger est plus jolie que la terrasse. La nourriture est vraiment basique & rend les prix pas très justifiés. 14$ + tax + tip pour une brioche dorée sans rien du tout, même pas du sirop d’érable …
Les plats du brunchs ne sont vraiment pas soignés. Je vous laisse juger des photos !
Le goût n’est pas pire mais on est vraiment loin de la qualité qu’on souhaiterait avoir lors d’un brunch. Bel emplacement du restaurant en tous cas !

4.0

Restaurant with a nice view of the water.
Went for breakfast & it was really good, & service also was great. The only reason for the 4 stars is because it's a regular breakfast but a little more expensive than other restaurants in the area. Will definitely go back to try the italian dishes as that is the specialty.
