Tout était excellent, service, repas (entrées, repas & dessert) table d'hôte pour groupe. Portion bonne, on avait peine à terminer nos assiettes. Sur le bord de l'eau. Je recommande fortement & ce n'est pas la première fois qu'on y va en grand groupe.View more
First time there. The service was very amicable. We enjoyed our food. My spouse took the Flank steak & it was tender & I had the lasagna. It was a traditional layered lasagna & I liked it. The decor is a little outdated but the view of the waterfront is very nice. Will return for sureView more
Went for Mother's Day brunch today .. they were so no prepared for he big crowd . Wait time was toooooooo long approx 40 mins for taking the order & then another 30 for serving ... The pancakes for the kids were so disappointing..with a some dried Nutella in the middle .. There was no difference in the crepe & pancake . The vegetarian omelet had pieces of bacon:View more
It was a good experience & atmosphere. Had chicken parmesan, it need some improvement especially on the sauce since it was acidic.View more
Très bon restaurant pour dejeuner avec vue sur le fleuve. Abordable avec de bonne portion. Super service rapide & courtois. Rien a dire je vais y retourner a coup sur.View more
One of the most delightful atmospheres in Montreal, boasting an amazing view of the St. Lawrence River throughout all seasons. Perfect for brunch, with courteous & attentive staff, & it's reasonably priced with a variety of menu options. If you plan to use public transportation, the Verdun station is about 6-7 min walking.View more
Riverside Italian restaurant with great mussels! Superb service, generous portions, not expensive & great views of the St Lawrence. $16 Cad for more than I could eat & bread served with marinara. So I splurged on the creme brulee. Would return next time in Montreal.View more
Beau, bon & pas trop chers. Le serveur était très gentil. Pas de réservation. Donc si l'on ait quelques personnes, ils faut s'armer de patience. Mais les assiettes sont abondantes & la nourriture arrive rapidement. L'attente en vaut la peine.View more
First time in Montreal, visiting from America. The menu had a great selection. Our waitress was quite rude to us though because we didnt speak french. Our food was delicious & plentiful. Our waitress didnt come to our table much & when it was time to pay our check, she had attitude. Her attitude made us uncomfortable but the food made up for some of it. I would get take out from there, but idk if i would dine there again.View more
Terrasse agréable, menu varié. Personnel sympa.View more
One of my favorite restaurant for breakfast! The waiters are always nice, the food is good & the view is beautiful if you're sitting next to a window. I like to go on their terrace during summer. The bread is very basic. Potatoes are seasoned which is nice.View more
Hubby was feeling romantic, & so he chose this lovely restaurant with an amazing view. We have absolutely no complaints. Everyone was so friendly! My favorite was the flan. It was the perfect combination of sweet & slightly bitter. Hubby loved the pasta & mushroom soup. We will definitely be returning to try the other dishes.View more
