Reviews describe Limbo as offering excellent service and a warm, stylish ambiance, with many calling the experience among the best restaurant visits and recommending it broadly; the menu is praised for creativity and fresh, seasonal ingredients, though several diners note that some dishes were too salty or that wine and tasting menu prices are high, and a few meals felt uneven. Overall, diners highlight standout items such as beef tongue, duck, and seafood, and there is a sense of wanting to return for the thoughtful service and high quality cooking.
Went there for dinner last night, good atmosphere, we did the tasting menu which was good, lots of interesting flavours & creative dishes. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they brought the last main which was lamb made 3 ways & there was barely any meat on the plate…we may have gotten 1-1.5 bites of meat each of the plate which was disappointing. Otherwise good experience.
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..

Excellent time dining at Limbo this past Sunday. The restaurant is gorgeous & the food is fantastic. While we were there it relatively quiet, which just enhanced our experience. Noted to go out to restaurants on Sundays more often! Our favourite things we had were the squash soup with an oursin sauce ontop, as well as the duck dish which had perfectly cooked duck slices & a duck crepe with orange. It's hard to pick an favourite though because everything was super inventive, fun to eat, & high quality. John & Jack were extremely kind & professional & explained the various dishes, made great recommendations & provided excellent service. Thank you!
The place is a vibe - Good spot for a date or friends night out.
Food is good but uneven - some dishes are a bit of a question mark, others are out of this planet. Any fish plate including the lobster is a home run.
The service is good & a nice conception. The food was good but felt like something was missing. Every appetizer dish was pretty plain.. when ordered heirloom tomatoes was expecting some kind of amazing sauce to pair it with.
The main dishes were fantastic. Both fish & pork were outstanding
If you're looking for an overpriced one-bite tasting experience, this is the place for you.
Food, some dishes were tasty some ordinary, but definitely not enough for 2 to share & less so for 4 as recommended by server;
Meals served at different times so 4 people did not eat together but each couple watched the other eat;
Cocktails, overpriced for a tiny glass of slush with no hint of liquor;
Atmosphere, bland, kept door wide open on a cool rainy day made sitting by the door unpleasant & host refused to move us to back where it was still empty.
Service was acceptable by waitress but downright unacceptable from main host;
After spending $600, they had the gall to ask us to leave immediately after paying bill - better timing required for their reservations to avoid offending patrons;
A lesson in hospitality is in dire need.
Will definitely not return!
I have dined at Limbo three times now & have tried a wide variety of dishes & wines. Each time I have visited, my experience has been better & better. The food is amazing, delicious sauces, local ingredients, knowledgeable & attentive staff & great ambiance. If there is one must try spot in Montreal, it's Limbo!

Great addition to the neighborhood! Make sure to try the beef tongue, tartare & chicken liver pate. I wasn't crazy about the snow crab & scallop dishes, but loved the other ones! Will definitely pass by again
Replacing Marconi with a refreshed dining room , limbo offers a solid but lacklustre experience.
Food was good. Some dishes being very tasty & interesting & some being ok ( but not bad! )
Service was adequate but could be friendlier for sure ( people next to us though the same thing)
Unimpressive cocktails could definetly be improved.
Overall a good experience & will come back in couple months when they settle a bit more with everything
