We visited the restaurent with two other friends the other day to celebrate a friend birthday. We were interested to try an Indian resto & this one had an interesting menu with a modern decor, although we were not sure about the Indian french fusion concept. We ordered 3 plates as appetizers (paneer, octupus, fried vegetable) & 3 for main course ( biryani chicken & lamb, & duck) & every plate was delicious. So the duck breast was cooked like a Magret but with Indian spices. The biryani cooked inside a bread was so amazing, so was the paneer. Plus the staff was very attentive (maybe too attentive sometimes 😁) & added candle to our birthday boy dessert, with free liquor drinks, a very nice touch. We will certainly be going back. The Terasse also looks very cool, it was march so closed in the winter.
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 had this dining experience at Heritaj. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service was attentive without being rushed.
Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with authentic flavors - you can really taste the quality & care in the cooking.
My hubby had a butter chicken, of course not the flavour he expected as in an Indian restaurant 😂
I ordered a fillet mignon since the duck was not available ( the duck was busy in Disney Land lol)
Filet mignon medium rare was cooked to the perfect level. However no seasoning at all. But there is a flavourful peppercorn sauce on the side.
We are there celebrate our wedding anniversary. I thought there will be something a bit special. But not really. No surprise dessert nor special decor.
If you want to have this indo French experience, it is a nice restaurant to try :)
Beautiful place, exceptional design. High-end Indo-French fusion, down-to-earth servers & manager. Very good service.
Currently running happy hour $1 oysters. Almost forgot, jazz trio (Thursday 6pm) great fun.
This is a Wednesday evening with temperature just above freezing point & decided to have dinner at Heritaj. It is normal at this time of the year that the restaurant is not overly busy.
We received a very warm greeting in this upscale restaurant with a sophisticated decor & inviting atmosphere.
We ordered the Carré d'Agneau du Quebec Aux Rabioles Biryani, Thon Rouge à La Niçoise, Moules Palourdes & Kebab Masala. Heritaj specializes in Indo-French cuisine & these menus are exactly the chef d'oeuvres of this restaurant.
The Carré d'Agneau (Rack of Lamb) was cooked to perfection, so tender & meaty on a myriad of veggies like Brussels sprouts, coriander & pistachios … & a touch of biryani spices.
The Thon Rouge (Is it yellowfin or bluefin tuna?) is lightly seared, perfectly medium-rare, with a delicate crust & a vibrant ruby-red center. Served on top of a crispy papadum, complemented by a fresh herb salad, & a drizzle of zesty emulsion for a bright, citrusy finish.
The Moules & palourdes (Mussels & Clams) is an impressive plate. I mean impressive. Very French Italian spaghetti sauce, meatballs & lots of onions. Did I say lots of thick, finger licking sauce? This is a plate for 2 adults … easily. I have to deduct half a star for some sand in the mussels or clams.
I would have preferred a bit less aggressivity on the salt level. Overall, simply delicious, with good service.
Nothing can be finalized without having a look at the washrooms. There are 4 individual unisex locked cubicles, clean & shiny, with a touch of equipment sophistication, like a feminine hygiene disposal unit & a fresh air dispenser. There is one main dual sink outside the washroom, equipped with touchless faucet, soap dispenser & an automatic Dyson Airblade hand dryer.
I believe there is a paid underground parking that the restaurant would pick up the bill.
Totally recommend if you are looking for an upscale dining experience.
Didn't realize it was Indian French fusion (google & open table says French only). Was pleasantly surprised by how good the food & drinks were! Cocktails were particularly good. Food also quite fantastic, including foie gras & duck magret (cooked very, very well). Only negative was service. Perhaps it was just the waiter we had (another waitress was much better), but that one waiter left a sour taste on an otherwise great experience.

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.
