Mastard is frequently described as a standout Michelin starred dining destination in Montreal, offering modern refined tasting menus that highlight local Quebec and Canadian ingredients with precise technique and inventive pairings. The setting is intimate and elegant, with attentive service and well-curated wine and non-alcoholic pairings that enhance the flavors without overpowering them. While most reviewers praise the quality, creativity and value, a few note small portion sizes in the multi-course format, occasional inconsistencies in service or wine timing, and the challenge of securing a reservation, but overall the experience is described as memorable, immersive and worth returning for again and again.
Really a remarkable restaurant. Food was absolutely fabulous. I have never seen restaurant staff work in such a high functioning organized team. At the same time they were warm, welcoming & knowledgeable about the food & wine. I really cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
Superb culinary experience. Thoughtful & innovative wine pairing, sustainable cuisine, rich in flavors of the season. Details make all the difference, service is impeccable & having the kitchen team come out to introduce each course is enriching.
Truly a dining experience. Each course was a new & exciting flavor profile, yet all worked together seamlessly. The ingredients were fresh & local - which came through in every bite. We did not opt for the wine pairing & instead made our way through the cocktail list. Nothing disappointed.
Already looking forward to my next visit here!
The food was excellent & the wines were interesting; I was somewhat underwhelmed with the pairings though. #1 didn't work, 2 was better, 4 was somewhat variable. The food sometimes ran over wine #4.
We were very much looking forward to our dinner at Mastard & it did not disappoint. Great experience in a non-fussy setting. Food & wine pairings were excellent.

Amazing food & service. Definitely recommend wine pairing option. Super vibrant flavours & beautifully cooked protein. Really could not have asked for more innovative food & generous hospitality!
From start to finish this meal was incredible. The friendly front of house & the informative service from the entire kitchen staff was an experience I wish everyone could have. The food is creative, delicious & astonishingly innovative. The wine pairings elevated every service. I can't wait to go back
An amazing experience. Every course was a surprise & so well composed. The sauces were divine & the wines were delightful. Our servers were lovely & so engaging!
We were excited to visit this restaurant due to it's favorable reviews. Unfortunately the results were average at best. We started with the scallop, beef, & endive appetizer which was very good. The second course of rutabaga with a rich sauce was bland, tasteless, & heavy. The third course of arctic char & black beans was a very interesting combination but too salty. Our fourth course was slices of duck magret, sausage, & a vegetable & once again too salty & too heavy. Finally dessert was very good with a carrot ice cream & light pastries with a whipped cream/sauce. The wine pairings were O.K. but not well matched especially one of the whites from Czech. We left the restaurant competely full & that is not something that should happen. Service was excellent.
A spectacular & memorable evening. One of my top 3 fine-dining experiences in MTL (I live here). I had the tasting menu, which really highlighted some local gems (I have never enjoyed beans quite like this in my life). Great wine pairings, & just a quick walk to the subway. It was sublime. Thanks!
The tasting menu with the wine pairings was phenomenal! Each dish was perfectly composed to showcase local flavors. The staff & service was above & beyond. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Montreal!
