We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience! I ordered the braised beef cheek & it was incredibly tender, full of flavor, & cooked to perfection. My husband had the bison tomahawk & he was genuinely amazed - easily one of the best meals he's had in a long time.

The place itself is very cozy, almost like a warm & inviting chalet, which made the whole evening feel even more special.

To top it all off, the chef came by our table to say hi, & he was truly awesome & friendly, passionate, & clearly proud of his craft.

Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for exceptional food, a cozy atmosphere, & a memorable experience!

Nel pieno centro di Montreal, avevo prenotato in anticipo questo ristorante. Molto carino il locale, con tanti oggetti particolari. Abbiamo mangiato hamburger di bisonte con patatine (poutine): molto buono. Personale come in tutto il Canada, molto gentile. Con le bevande, circa 80 dollari in 2. Bravi.

A Canadian French original, hence the name! Very cozy interior, with a simple, rich & mouthwatering menu! Had the smoked Bone Marrow as an app, the Bison Burger & from the daily specials a shepherd pie, to share. Damn! Every single dish so good! I was reluctant about the Bison Burger & it beats some of the best beef burger I've had! The shepherds pie, was rich yet light...cheesy 🤤 & DELICIOUS!!! Finally, the Bone Marrow was great very yummy & paired with the right ingredients that cut through the richness.

Repas à en amoureux, tout juste après mon arrivée de France. Petite table en retrait, super ambiance musicale & décoration, service aux petits soins, très bons conseils en plat & en vin. Le burger de bison était excellent avec sa poutine! Prix raisonnable. Nous nous sommes régalés, merci! A recommander!
