The food we had was out-of-this-world-delicious! The best Butter Chicken ever. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. Our waiter did not check on us very often, one of our dishes was forgotten & explanations were not clear. With that said, the atmosphere was nice & we have a nice evening :)
This place has one of the most beautiful terraces in the old-port. The food is Indian & french fusion so you will find great dishes like steak 🥩, oysters 🦪 when in season as well as tons of indian inspired sauces & spices. It's spicy but manageable. They also have a great cocktail list 🍹 & wine 🍷 list. By the way don't skip on dessert, that chocolate 🍫 soufley was amazing.

The food is excellent. & I mean wow. I came back to try the other dishes, & I'll be sure to come back for the rest!
Excellent champagne prices, you love to see it.
The service team makes this place stellar, like Michelin stellar. I've been to a few fine dining & their crew is on par, very attentive, kind, & fast. Gonzalo is the man, thanks again!
Came here for mtl à table. Really enjoyed the Indian influence to all of the dishes without it being too overpowering. The subtlety of the spices really just elevated the traditional French dishes. Favorites were the duck & the foie gras toast which are also on their regular menu. Great portions as well considering it was a 3 course tasting menu. Excited to come back!
We were a group of 8 for a birthday celebration & I can really recommend this restaurant. The service from Mathieu & team was outstanding, really going beyond to ensure that we had a great experience.
The food was delicious, good portions & well plated. The group had lamb, sea bass, duck & salmon dishes & all were great. They also plated desserts on a board for us to share as a finale to our meal. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful & you feel right at home.
A wonderful evening & look forward to returning there soon!
The restaurant is quite popular, so we made a reservation well in advance. The food was beautifully presented, but the flavors didn't quite match the hype. The foie gras, a highly recommended dish, was overly greasy, though the flavor was decent. The bagel was a bit tough to chew. One practical issue we noticed was that the plates slid around on the marble table while we were eating; some tablecloths could have easily addressed this. Unfortunately, there were a few service-related mishaps. A server accidentally spilled water on my mom's phone-these things happen, & we didn't make a fuss-but the most disappointing aspect was the long wait. We sat for nearly an hour before our orders were served. What was odd, however, was that all of our dishes appeared right after we inquired about them. This left us wondering if the food had been sitting out, as some dishes were lukewarm by the time they reached our table. As for the atmosphere, while the space is beautifully decorated, the busyness detracts from the overall experience. The tables are packed so tightly that it feels overcrowded, which not only diminishes the ambiance but likely overwhelms the staff as well. Perhaps this explains the delays in service. Given the high price point of the menu, I'd imagine the restaurant could afford to reduce the number of tables & create a more refined & enjoyable dining experience. Overall, while the restaurant excels in appearances, it seems to fall short on delivering substance. We had high expectations for this meal, but the experience was ultimately underwhelming.
We had dinner here with friends last night & what a beautiful restaurant it is. The decor is contemporary & chic with perfect lighting. The music, provided by a DJ, wasn't too loud so we could still have discussions with our friends. The cuisine & the cocktails are innovative. It's refreshing to go to a restaurant where they're not doing what everyone else is. Everything we had was excellent, with a beautiful presentation. There are lots of choices of appetizers & main dishes, all generous portions & reasonably priced. The only downside was that the kitchen was a little slow in bringing out the food. We waited a long time for our main courses. Being a new restaurant, they are still ironing out the kinks, so I give them a pass on this. All in all a great experience. I will definitely return.

I was excited to try this new restaurant, hoping for a unique blend of French & Indian cuisine, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. As someone with a deep love for Indian flavors & with a partner from Punjab, we were both left underwhelmed. The concept of French-Indian fusion is intriguing, but the execution felt lacking. The dishes, while well-presented, didn't deliver the bold & rich spices that Indian cuisine is known for. There was a noticeable absence of depth in the curries & sauces, which left me wanting more flavor. Unfortunately, there was also no dessert with Indian inspiration-something I would have expected to round off the meal & balance the fusion concept. The round tables made for 4 are way too small; design can feel great but practically it just doesn't work. The drinks, which we hoped would creatively mirror the fusion of cultures, felt disconnected from the theme. They didn't elevate the experience as we anticipated, falling short of complementing the meal or embracing the French-Indian blend. I wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars for its concept, ambiance, & effort, but the flavors just didn't meet the mark for us.
