Phenomenal presentation & service. 20/10. Had the tasting menu, come hungry, the best balance of meals. Must, must, must try the panisse a la provencale, radiocchio de parcelles & definitely cannot skip the truite de Montebelo! Thank you!
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?

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.
Je recommande de réserver parce que c'était plein le samedi soir. Restaurant découvert grâce à la liste Air Canada des meilleures nouveaux restaurants de 2025 (ouvert en mars!).
Nous étions un groupe de 5, & la serveuse Mathilde était super gentille & attentive. On se sentait entre de bonnes mains, elle avait vraiment une belle énergie :)
Les photos représentent (pas en ordre) :
- Oursin de Rimouski
- Pain de petit épautre
- Parfait de foie de volaille
- Prunes Reine-Claude
- Raddichio
- Thon cru
- Aubergine
- Foie gras
- Canard
- Plat à l'homard
- Truite
Tout était excellent! Mes préférés personnels sont : le parfait de vollaille (miam avec le pain), le raddichio, le thon cru, le fois gras, le plat à l'homard & la truite.
Bien dans l'ensemble, bel accueil, mais niveau culinaire certaines déceptions, plutôt hit or miss. Mérite un 4 mais la note globale est un peu aberante.

Had an amazing meal at Limbo. Everything was delicious from start to finish, the staff were great & very helpful guiding us through the menu & making suggestions. We will definitely be back!
Le meilleur restaurant dans lequel j'ai mangé ! Des plats délicieux a partager avec des saveurs originales, un régal.
Serveur & serveuse très agréable, je recommande !! De la part d'un breton
What a great night I had today at Limbo! We were seated at the bar & had amazing service. Every dish we had was delightful: super flavourful & most importantly fresh. We took some bread to dip the sauces - a must. We ended with the strawberries & pepper yoghurt - super fresh. We unexpectedly walked in with a last min reservation & will definitely be back. Thank YOU for such a great night
Nous sommes tombé sur ce restaurant en deuxième choix & quel chance nous avons eu. La nourriture est très bonne, produits de qualité, cuisson impeccable (les pétoncles étaient parfaitement cuites). Tous les plats sont bon, il n'y a pas eu de moins. Je recommande de prendre le pain pour goûter les sauces. Le service est aussi très bon, personnel à l'écoute & de très bon conseil. Je recommande vivement cette perle!
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
service, repas, vin out of this world. je vais me rappeler de cette expérience toute ma vie! mention spéciale à l'oeuf à la neige avec la crème pâtissière à l'agastache; ayoye. les agencements de couleurs, de saveurs, & l'utilisation des produits locaux de saison ont été exécutés à merveille.
