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.

J'ai commandé une crêpe au fromage & aux champignons, mais elle a été servie seule, sans les petites patates ni les fruits que je m'attendais à avoir en accompagnement. J'ai trouvé mon assiette ordinaire. Pour 18,25 $, je trouve cela cher, d'autant plus que mes amies ont commandé'Le Salon' pour 16,00 $ & leur assiette était bien garnie.

Nous étions venus il y a longtemps mais c'est toujours aussi agréable. Menu du midi varié & très bon. Service impeccable. Nous restons loin d'ici mais reviendrons certainement. PS : belle terrasse couverte & stationnement disponible adjacent au testo ce qui est non négligeable 😀.

Ate on the patio with river view. Good food, very good service. Noticed it was easily wheelchair accessible as there was a group of people with wheels on patio. Dessert was so-so but meal was otherwise good.
