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.

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 !

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.

Le placier est très gentil mais le serveur (d’une 40-50taine d’année) a l’air bête. Cependant l’ambiance, le décor & la nourriture sont bien. Je recommande quand-même.
