2 expériences, la 2e encore plus dissuasive
1ere exp : la cuisine est bonne, c'est vrai, mais la soupe Pho est un peu déséquilibrée, vraiment beaucoup de nouilles & très peu de viande (j'ai compté exactement 5 morceaux d'une bouchée chacun). On me répond que les ingrédients sont théoriquement pesés…
Côté ambiance : très très très bruyant. Certes les grandes tablées veulent se parler d'un bout à l'autre… mais d'autres convives (4) sont invraisemblables dans leurs assertions hurlées si vigoureusement qu'on a plusieurs fois eu l'impression qu'une altercation démarrait !
En définitive, on a écourté le repas sans dessert, faute de pouvoir se détendre.
3 semaines plus tard, 2e expérience : avertie, je précise à la réservation écrite souhaiter une des 2 tables un peu plus isolées qui font face à l'entrée (& tournent donc le dos à la salle). J'arrive 5 mn avant notre réservation pour découvrir
- qu'on nous a casé dans une sorte de box, quasi collés à une table de 5 & c'en est presque gênant d'être comme enfermés ensemble
- que les 2 tables demandées par réservation sont deja occupées, mais que pour l'une des deux, on vient tout juste d'y installer un couple (qui ne l'avait pas demandée)
- réponse du manager : c'est ça ou rien…
& bien pour ma part ce sera
RIEN chez HA
& TOUT ailleurs !
Cibo buonissimo, nulla da dire a riguardo. Ambiente piacevole solo troppo buio per i miei gusti.
Sul servizio non ho messo una stella solo perché i camerieri erano gentilissimi , educati e sorridenti, ma purtroppo siamo rimasti scontenti per la lunga (troppa) attesa dei piatti, mi era quasi passata la fame. Ci deve essere stato, spero, un problema in cucina. Spero non sia sempre cosi lento il servizio. Avevo ordinato un calice di vino e me lo ero già finito prima che arrivassero i piatti, senza mangiare nulla.
A parte questo, gli darei un'altra possibilità per tutti gli aspetti positivi che ho detto. Ci tornerei anche solo per rimangiare i broccoli fritti con mandorle e paprika. Favolosi!
⭐⭐⭐
A wonderful dining experience in Old Montreal. The atmosphere is stylish & inviting, & the food was delicious. The fried broccoli was absolutely spectacular definitely one of the highlights of the meal & something I would order again. Great flavors, beautiful presentation, & a very enjoyable experience overall. Highly recommended!
Excellent restaurant. Vu la qualité de la cuisine, très bon rapport qualité prix. Mention spéciale à Arthur, qui prend le temps de discuter avec les clients tout maîtrisant son service.
I don't really agree with the other reviews saying it was amazing Vietnamese food. On the positive side, the atmosphere is very cool & I had a great maceration wine. Downsides: the food took a really long time to come out (1 hour although we did have starters before then) & wasn't standout for me. The lemongrass chicken was really spicy, which I didn't expect (I thought it would be more fragrant). The bowl was pretty average with plain noodles, a few slices of vegetables, few herbs & the chicken. Also we ended up with really upset stomachs.
Never got served.
We arrived at approximately 12h25. We then waited about 10m for water & they took our orders at the same time. After a long while we were asked again what our order was. We waited about 40m.
At around 13h15, we saw people that arrived after us getting served & we got up & left because I had to go back to the office.
We were greatly disappointed.
