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.

Nice restaurant, lots of parking, reliable quality of food & service, beautiful view of the water & bike path, lovely outdoor terrace in the summertime. However I cannot give this restaurant 5 stars because their washrooms were filthy, & that is an important detail for me. To begin with they are cramped & dark, the sink is leaking into a bucket beneath it, the garbages had not been emptied & were overflowing, & the smell was awful. (It may have been something in the water, I don't know.) I would love to recommend this restaurant, but this tainted my opinion, unfortunately. They seriously need to fix this issue.

Booked the private room for a birthday, the owner Martin was easy to work with & very accommodating. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming. We were a group of 35 & the food service was quick & delicious. The waiter & waitress that served us were excellent. Overall a great experience, our guests had nothing but great feedback!

It's been a family tradition to go here for breakfast when I visit Montreal. We go a few times per year. Service is always absolutely amazing, & food is delicious with big portions. I love this place & will continue to go for our family tradition of brunch. Only downfall is they recently started charging a fee for sharing plates

Excellente table d'hôte du réveillon du nouvel an. Chaque service était délicieux. La serveuse était exceptionnelle dans son attention aux détails lors de notre commande assez complexe. Elle & la cuisine nous ont accommodé pour une allergie alimentaire. Les portions du menu pour enfants sont grandes & peu dispendieuses. De l'accueil au généreux desserts, ça été impeccable.
