Super beau resto avec une vue magnifique sur le cours d'eau ! Le service était vraiment impeccable & nous avons tous adoré nos déjeuners. Nous allons certainement y retourner ! Stationnement pratique sur place.

The staff are friendly & helpful. The menu is in French & English. Our waitress was sweet & spoke English too. All the breakfast came with coffee or tea.
Prices are average well portion.
Very limited parking space available.

The food was bland. I ordered fried zucchini, thinking it was in season & would be good, but it was tasteless. I tried to share it with my fellow diners, & nobody would eat it. I also ordered pasta with Gigi sauce, & again, it was underwhelming.

Probablement un des seuls restaurants sur le bord de l'eau à Montréal, ce qui est incroyable car Montréal est un île ! Joli terrasse, menu express abordable à 30$ incluant choix de plat, soupe ou salade & café ce qui m'apparaît très raisonnable en cette époque d'inflation galopante.
Cuisine honnête & savoureuse. Le jarret d'agneau est un peu trop salé.
Je. Recommande pour des groupes. Réservez si vous souhaitez être sur la terrasse. Immense stationnement.
En bonus, pas de foutu musique de discothèque ! Merci

Une expérience correcte, mais décevante sur certains aspects. J'avais déjà fait des commentaires similaires sur ce restaurant il y a 7 ans, & malheureusement, je constate que peu de choses ont changé depuis.
La décoration demeure plutôt désuète, même si la magnifique vue sur le fleuve est un véritable atout. Le service & l'ambiance sont convenables, sans plus.
J'ai pris les Fettuccini Alfredo : les légumes étaient trop cuits, la sauce manquait de goût & le poulet était sec. Dans l'ensemble, un repas moyen qui ne m'a pas vraiment impressionné.

We went for a Sunday brunch with family here. The location of this place is unbeatable. Being right by the canal you get uninterrupted views of the water, the marina & the adjoining park. Restaurant Crescendo is going to be my favourite place to go for Sunday brunches :)
