About us

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.

Comme partout, prix trop élevé juste pour des pates. La sauce arabiata était bonne. $11,70 (tx pourboire in) pour une canette de biere sans alcool, c est un peu exagéré. Je pense que le serveur etait pas content d' avoir pogné un groupe.

My husband brought me there for supper after he tried their breakfast. The restaurant sits beside St. Laurence river in a nice surrounding. We were seated in the terrace equipped with heater to keep us comfortably warm. The view of the river is beautiful. The waiters are very courteous & cater to our needs attentively. We will surely bring/ recommend our friends & family here!!

Bonne bouffe, n'est pas bon marché, donc pas pour tous les jours, terrasse avec vue sur le St-Laurent. En groupe, service un peu lent pour le lunch si vous avez des obligations, sinon c'est très agréable.

Their breakfast isn't that good to be honest. The only positive thing about this restaurant is the view & that's all.
