Restaurant Limbo

I feel Limbo has one of the best price point for value tasting menus in the fine dining scene in Montreal. Everything including the desserts were delicious. Cozy atmosphere with slightly geeky decor & great food, they make it too easy for you to want to return!

Impeccable experience & food. I celebrated my birthday here & I'm glad the meal was beyond my expectations. We went with the chef's choice which already came with enough food for each of us. We then ordered the paté on top of that because we saw the table next to us with it. They kindly gave us extra homemade sourdough to go with the paté.

My favourite dish was the lobster with peaches & almond butter sauce. The cod dish with chanterelles was amazing as well. Followed by the paté with apple butter.

The desserts weren't as impressive as the main dishes sadly. Both were quite sweet & lacked a balance in other flavours.

However, they have seasonal menus which means I will be back to celebrate other occasions here as well!

On attendait beaucoup de ce restaurant & nous avons été déçus, déjà c'est très bruyant mais ça à la limite ce n'est pas tant de leur faute, on est peut-être mal tombé.
Le service était bien, ce qui nous a déçu concerne la nourriture, autant certains plats étaient délicieux & harmonieux (le plat de tournesol un bravo au chef), autant les desserts mais un enfer pas du tout équilibré, entre le mille feuille beaucoup trop sucré & le vacherin avec son huile d'olive qui dégouline en quantité extrême, ça gâche tellement la fin du repas. & dernier point recevoir du pain cramé, c'est très moyen…
Quand on donne un certain standing à son restaurant, on en attend un minimum en retour….

Nous avons commandé à la carte, & même si j'ai oublié le nombre exact de plats, chacun d'eux était fantastique & original. La langue de boeuf, le foie gras & le tartare de boeuf étaient particulièrement mémorables. Le millefeuille, en dessert, était absolument délicieux.

I came to this restaurant on a Wednesday night as part of a belated birthday celebration, driving in from NYC. As luck would have it, my Airbnb accommodations fell through last minute & I needed to bring my dog in order to make the reservation. Restaurant Limbo changed our seating to outdoors with zero issue or stress.

As non French speakers, our server Mathilde translated our menu for us in great detail. She gave serving size suggestions & recommended n/a beverages that were great. She truly made must feel confident in our ordering process.

Coming from nyc (& working in a Michelin restaurant myself), Restaurant Limbo set the bar high as our first Montreal dining experience. We tried several courses but the standouts included the Panisse, the Lamb Tartare, & the Morilles. All so flavorful & coursed beautifully. Conor also came to our table to check in & made our dessert recommendation knowing that we were looking for something light.

We finished off our meal with Oeuf à la neige- a merengue with cream & rhubarb. It might have been my favorite dish of the entire evening. So light & the perfect ending to a fantastic dining experience.

Thank you Restaurant Limbo, we will be back!

Tout y est bon & beau! L'endroit est agréable & le personnel est charmant. Les différents plats étaient délicieux, tout est développé dans le détail, jusqu'au beurre en accompagnement. Les desserts sont à tomber par terre! Bonne sélection de vins également :)

Had the pleasure of dining at Limbo during its very first week-there was a palpable sense of nervous energy & excitement.

1) We started with the beef tartare, topped with trout roe, surrounded by a ring of gelée. We also ordered the house-made sourdough bread & beurre composé: perfectly chewy & flavourful.

2) This was followed by a reinterpretation of poireaux vinaigrette, with leeks layered over perfectly cooked trout confit.

3) Next came the off-menu special: house-cured ham topped with mustard greens, peppery & perfectly dressed just enough to balance the richness of the pork.

3) Then a clean, elegant plate of halibut served with seasonal white asparagus & a light, buttery sauce.

4) For dessert, a showstopper: a meringue'floating island' in a pool of tonka bean-infused crème anglaise, topped with fragrant poached rhubarb.

Overall, 10/10 for a first week, & we are excited to go back.
