My visit to Montreal was only five days long, so I had to be selective about which restaurants made the cut from the city's endless list of amazing options. But when I came across L'osso on TikTok, I knew I had to include it-& I'm so glad I did.
It was amazing. My friend (who is a chef & culinary school graduate) & I walked in curious, & walked out beyond happy. You know how they say'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?' Well, L'Osso found its way into two girls' hearts that night-& we left very, very, very happy.
We started with warm bread & olive oil, along with a complimentary bruschetta. The bread was soft, fresh, & warm enough to make me want 50 more, & the bruschetta was perfectly savory & fresh-an exciting start.
We ordered two dishes:
1. Gnocchi in tomato sauce - It literally melted in my mouth. Rich, savory, & comforting-it touched my soul.
2. Mushroom ravioli - My personal favorite. I still dream about it. The dish had the perfect umami flavor, & the sauce-though not creamy in ingredients-had a rich, velvety texture that made it feel incredibly indulgent. The ravioli was soft & filling, & the cheese (Parmesan, I think) tied everything together beautifully. We dipped our still-warm bread into the sauce-it was marvellous.
We ended with a chocolate lava cake, & it was the perfect dessert to close such a satisfying experience.
The restaurant was fairly quiet that night-it was snowing & freezing outside (not that it stopped me, haha)-but according to our kind & attentive server, it's usually more lively. The interior was elegant & cozy, with a vibe that felt intimate & romantic.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience-from the food to the ambiance to the service. If I lived in Montreal, I'd find myself returning just for that mushroom ravioli every few weeks. Highly recommend!
Beautiful evening at l'osso. We were a group of 6 & did a sharing style menu because the whole menu looked fantastic. & we were right. From the foie gras entree & truffle buratta with Iberica ham all the way to the fresh homemade mushroom raviolis & bistecca fiorentina everything was on point !!!! The service was also spectacular , the servers were very attentive & referred some great wines & cocktails. I recommend for a date night or groups. Will definitely be returning !!!
Enjoyed a truly delicious supper & was quite impressed at the level of detail & attention put in all dishes. Authentic Italian dishes were elevated; quality, taste & freshness of ingredients was top-notch. Enjoyed the succulent rib-eye & home-made ravioli stuffed with burrata as mains. Looking forward to try the osso bucco next time. The service makes you feel like royalty; each & every person: kind, warm, knowledgeable & attentive. L'osso is one of those rare gems.
This was a new discovery within the little Italian of Montreal. The food quality was good, prices & portion size was good value. The server was good & attentive while decor was very comfortable. My favorite was the foie gras. The balsamic vinegar with cherries was a great match with the foie gras. The piece of foie gras was also a good size & very tasty.
Amazing experience! Huge thanks to Samuel & the chefs! The service was so attentive. They accommodate food allergies & took good care of us. Everything was fresh. The favor was on point & not too heavy. Lobster was huge & fresh. Definitely would love to go back again soon 💖

My wife & I recently dined at L'Osso, a new jewel nestled in the heart of Little Italy. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by an ambiance that seamlessly combined elegance with warmth. The atmosphere is lively, without being loud. We felt immediately welcomed. To kick off, cocktails were crafted with precision & creativity. L'Osso also features a great selection of wines without being overwhelming. There is something to offer for every budget & palate. We then indulged in the burrata appetizer - the creamy center of the burrata paired beautifully with the burst of flavor from the pata negra cured ham. The pan-seared scallops were expertly cooked, allowing the natural shellfish sweetness to come through. The highlight of the evening was the melt-in-your-mouth osso buco. The tender, succulent veal shank was a testament to the chef's mastery. Braised to perfection, the meat effortlessly fell off the bone delivering an explosion of rich, savory flavors. The accompanying risotto was both flavourful & perfectly al dente, elevating the dish to the next level. Last, but not least, we received excellent service. Our sever, Sam, was attentive & friendly, which added an extra layer of warmth to a lovely date-night. Highly recommended! Tony M.
