Dîner au bar sur les tabourets hauts. Testé la formule carte blanche au chef, qui donne un bel aperçu.
Très content de ce choix, les plats se suivent & sont succulents, les portions sont justes car les assiettes sont nombreuses!
Service souriant & amical, bonnes suggestions d'accord mets & vins...
Un beau moment, merci à toute l'équipe du restaurant!
D'abord je dois donner une mention exceptionnel à Harrison, chef Ukrainien au talent indéniable avec un palais hors de l'ordinaire. Un virtuose des mariages réussis qu'il arrive à faire. L'asperge blanche fut un pur délice. Le tartare de boeuf était tendre, de grande qualité & bien assaisonné. Le crabe avec ses croquants de radis & céleri était délicieux. Le flétan & ses accompagnements se déroulait comme une symphonie de saveurs bien orchestrées. La poire pochée en combinaison avec le miel & le fromage bleu fut une révélation. En terminant le flanc avec sirop d'érable & rhubarbe, un équilibre parfait. Sarah la barmaid & notre serveuse ce soir était un peu froide au début mais elle est vite devenu chaleureuse lorsqu'elle a vu notre appréciation de la cuisine. Leur prix, très raisonnable compte tenu de la qualité de la nourriture. Leur nouveau bib gourmand du guide Michelin pleinement mérité.
Bravo à chef Cédric pour ses plats extrêmement à délicieux & bravo à Claudia pour son service impeccable & ses conseils en vin.
J'y retourne sans hesitation.

We had a table of 4 & all got the choix du chef (price fixe ~$100 per person). They brought out 5-6 dishes for us all to share, & the food was like fine but it's nothing special, not worth the cost in any way.
Service etc was fine but inequitable in terms of portions .. table next 2 us was 2 ppl on price fixe menu & they received the exact same amount of food… despite us having double the number of people & paying twice as much..! Weird behaviour & left me concerned about the owners liquidity..
What a lovely experience. Owners present & clearly love what they are doing. We had chefs tasting menu & food was creative & delicious ( classic French inspiration). Great vibe, happy smiling staff. Loved it. Will return
This establishment was by far the best restaurant experience I've ever had. It was an absolute pleasure to witness & experience a high level of service. Definitely would recommend this to anyone & everyone. Well done chef.
I'm not sure I'm being very objective probably not
I'm not the type to write internet restaurant reviews, but when a place is run by people who work with heart, you take five minutes & say it sincerely, thank you guys
I'm lucky to count the chef among my closest friends, & I spent several weeks there, surrounded by the smells, the laughter, the late nights.
& ever since, I've missed that place.
Places like limbo, where people still cook out of respect for the craft, where every plate tells something true, they're getting rare, too rare
That's why it matters to back those who care about substance, not just style.
This year, I had one of the best dinners of my life at Limbo.
Not just for the food, but for the energy, the team, the wine, the honesty, the warmth.
You want something real? Book a table.
Cool can't be bought.
Neither can hard work.
It's a tough, often thankless industry, & you give it back its dignity.
If you care about food that actually means something, go & enjoy the moment
Great place. Very warmly designed space that feels cozy. Food is amazing! Former chefs from various spaces like maison publique (RIP) & salle climatisee. How can you go wrong with that lineup?
