Everything is great about this place in terms of quality of the food flavor, attention of waiters, etc. I am substructing one star because it took long time for our table to be served, little more than 1 hour. So best if you think about some quick appetizers before the main courses . We went during lunch time & it was almost empty. Truth is our table had like probably 10 people. Overall recommend if you ok with waiting times, I do not recommend if you are on a tight schedule.
Food was overpriced, went in for lunch & with noone in the restaurant food took forever (over 20min). A medium rare requested burger was cooked well done & there was no sauce or dip for the fries outside of prepackaged mayo - which I didn't have. Wouldn't recommend coming here for lunch as the value for money & time isn't worth the investment. It's unfortunate too, I was parched & really looking forward to this place for lunch after a long morning on a hot day, but left quite disappointed. Service was the main redeeming quality - my server was quite attentive & professional. Kitchen staff could improve quality & attention to detail. The dish overall was too dry & there wasnt thought given into how to balance the dish.
My experience at Le Richmont was somewhat disappointing, primarily because the value didn't seem to match the quality of service & culinary offerings. Appetizers: - Burrata: Adequate, but lacked any distinctive features to set it apart. - Oysters: Standard fare; nothing noteworthy. - Beef Tartare: Outstanding. It offered a perfect balance of texture & flavour with excellently chosen meat-a must-try. Main Dishes: - Flambées Pasta: This dish was a letdown. It's touted as a signature dish, yet the pasta reminded me of something you'd find in a supermarket packet. While it was cooked properly, it lacked originality, & the Grana Padano sauce was barely recognizable. - Black Cod: My companions enjoyed this dish, noting it was well-seasoned & perfectly cooked. - Filet Mignon: Exceptional. The quality of the meat & the seasoning were superb, accompanied by deliciously flavoured smashed potatoes & sautéed legumes. This dish justified its price with its remarkable preparation. Desserts: There was a notable service issue as the restaurant had only one serving left for Dark Praline Mousse & informed us only after we had ordered it. This lapse is unexpected from a high-end venue, & unfortunately, the staff did not proactively offer a solution. Following some discussion, we were offered Tiramisu as a replacement. - Dark Praline Mousse: It was the highlight of the desserts, featuring a sublime balance & exquisitely prepared brûlée banana. - Tiramisu: Unfortunately, it felt pretty artificial & didn't meet expectations. - Ginger Panna Cotta: This was mediocre for my taste, seeming overly thickened with cornstarch. Ambience: The restaurant presents an inviting, cozy atmosphere with charming wooden decor. The general level of service was satisfactory. Overall, while there were high points in the culinary experience, particularly the beef tartare & filet mignon, the overall offering at Le Richmont didn't quite live up to expectations, especially considering the high standards one anticipates from such an establishment.
Thursday night yet the restaurant was EMPTY! There were literally 2 other tables a side from ours. Our server was kind but clearly never trained, brought the wrong bottle of wine twice, could not answer basic questions on the menu, did not refill our glasses, etc. With the lack of labor, I can understand & accept that, not a big deal. Where the restaurant really fell short of expectations was on quality! Fois gras poilé was served cold, steak was over cooked, they ran out of Perrier after 1 bottle served. On top of that the chef flat out refused to serve the steak with grilled/crushed garlic, our poor server had to share with us the awkward refusal. Tons of great restaurants in Montreal, 120$ steak or 35$ carbonara can be had in many better locations around town.
