By far the best poutine I've ever had. The toffee cake was also amazing. Good location, cozy atmosphere, great food. Our waitress Lianne was so friendly & gave us lots of tips about traveling Montréal. We loved this place.

Delicious, fresh oysters, shucked at the bar by casual, friendly owner. Beef tartare was as good as it gets. The bone marrow lived up to its reputation & was simply outstanding. Reasonably priced wine for the area. Tried some fantastic Canadian wines as well. Regular customers friendly & had great chats at the bar. Outstanding atmosphere with the feel of a place that's under constant care & love. Do not miss this place.

Lire au complet!!!! Nourriture 100% Services de la serveuse 100% Atmosphère 100% Commentaires du propriétaire quand mon fils a commencé à pleurer(pendant 1 min) après s'être blessé 0% Mon fils a pleuré maximum 1min après s'être cognée sur la table, le propriétaire est arrivé au même moment pour desservir nos assiettes en disant: sorry little dude but there is a lot of customers in here at the moment 😳 Il a ensuite brusquement « lancer » un sac de glace sur la table... Il a ruinée notre expérience avec ce commentaire & son geste brusque.... Tout était parfait, notre merveilleuse serveuse c'est excusé pour lui... nous avons compris après avoir parlé avec elle que ce n'est pas la première fois & que le propriétaire n'aime clairement pas les enfants & manque beaucoup de contrôle aussi... Notez que nous comme arrivez à 17h15 & parti à 18h53, la facture s'élevait à 394.21$.... & que notre enfant était calme & zéro bruyant à l'exception de l'incident ou il a glisser & cogner sa bouche sur la table.. Alors si vous y allez sans enfants vous allez être très bien servis mais pensez y deux fois si vous amener vos petits!

L'un des incontournables du quartier, tant pour la qualité de l'expérience que le pari réussi de proposer un environnement très canadien avec panache.

Très bonne expérience, le service est super, l'ambiance est vraiment bonne & la décoration est très typique. La cuisine était bonne, peut être un peu chère cependant.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Amazing food (get the Elk steak if they have it) & drinks & atmosphere. Mike is a delight. Sit up at the bar if you can! Planning a whole new trip to Montréal just to eat here again.
