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.
Everything from start to finish was absolutely flawless. The food was exceptional-beautifully crafted, incredibly flavorful, & truly memorable. Not choosing from a menu made the experience even more exciting; each course was a delightful surprise that awakened the palate with unexpected & delicious flavors. The service was impeccable-professional yet warm & welcoming. This was a refined, immersive culinary journey that exceeded expectations & checked every box of what fine dining should be.

Une expérience absolument remarquable au Mastard!
Un immense bravo au chef & à toute son équipe pour la qualité exceptionnelle des plats : tout était savoureux, parfaitement exécuté & préparé avec passion. On sent le souci du détail & l'amour de la cuisine dans chaque assiette.
Mention toute spéciale à notre serveur Alexis, qui a été incroyablement attentionné, patient & d'une grande gentillesse tout au long de la soirée. Son professionnalisme & sa bienveillance ont vraiment fait toute la différence & ont rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable.
Équipe formidable & la nourriture délicieuse! Notre soirée a été tout simplement parfaite. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter!
Best meal I've had from a one star Michelin restaurant.
Absolutely zero misses. This meal checked every box I have for fine dining: unique local proteins (walleye, guineafowl), creative swings, & a sauce game that explored the whole flavor spectrum instead of just relying on acidity.
All the dishes were fantastic, but several dishes lingered with me. Braised cabbage & uni, Rabbit & oysters, Miso Walleye, & the Sunchoke ice cream. The Rabbit & oysters sounded like a riff on the famous'Oysters & Pearls,' but the execution was entirely its own beast. The smoked oyster sabayon elevated the lean rabbit while adding necessary moisture, & the oyster itself was almost raw yet smoked, which gave it a plush, velvet texture I rarely find in cooked oyster dishes.
Then the Miso Walleye. It was like cod but lightly braised in miso, giving it a funky finish that played beautifully against the dish's earthy elements. They followed it with a pasta filled with the same fish, & it was leaner, with a nice peppery kick to close out the seafood chapter.
Another surprise was the Guinea fowl. The bird is native to Africa, but this one came from a local farm that imported & raised it here. It looked like turkey on the plate, but the fat was as rich as duck & the meat as tender as a chicken thigh, all just anchored by onion & shallot purées. It wasn't the most distinctive dish flavor-wise, but given how conservative fine dining usually is with birds (chicken, duck, squab), I really liked the choice to work with something less familiar.
Undoubtedly my favorite meal in Montreal so far. It's the ultimate proof that you don't need luxury crutches like wagyu or caviar to make a dish special. The reservation was a pain to snag, but I'd absolutely make the trip again just to see what they do next season.
Everything from start to finish was just perfect. The food, amazing & flavour. The atmosphere, cozy & with great ambience music that keeps the energy up without being loud. The service, absolutely perfect, they were extremely attentive & professional. We want to thank Alexis for the immaculate vibes & service.
We got the 95$ testing menu of 5 courses. & to be honest it's so worth it. In any other restaurant you will pay almost or the same for mediocre food & service. So if you want your money to be spent wisely I would totally recommend Mastard.

Food is great but when it's great there are not enough bites (portion too small)
& when the food is okay you have enough.
Dessert is not waw.
Overall experience 8.5/10
Service impeccable, présentation des plats soignée & alliance des saveurs exquise. J'ai savouré chaque bouchée du début à la fin. Une très belle découverte culinaire !
Nous recommandons à 100% le Restaurant Mastard. Nous avons été fêter le 30e de mon conjoint & la soirée était au-delà de nos attentes. Le service, avec les accords mets & vin était incroyable & les plats sont servis par les chefs directement à la table, ce qui rendait l'expérience d'autant plus agréable. Qualité-prix = A1. Nous reviendrons très certainement.
C'était une soirée parfaite , tous les plats étaient délicieux du début à la fin , le service impeccable , la musique était également à mon goût ! On a vraiment passer un très bon moment , le meilleur restaurant de Montréal sans hésiter !
Best restaurant in Montreal, the chef is a local & focuses heavily on local products yet he showcases international level cooking skills/techniques. Highly recommend if you can get a table.
Magique ! Nous nous sommes régalés du début à la fin. Les plats sont originaux, mais si bien équilibrés. & que dire des sauces… incroyable ! J'ai notamment apprécié la note du début présentant l'équipe qui travaille au quotidien pour nous faire vivre une si belle expérience. Bravo pour cette étoile bien méritée !
Un restaurant exceptionnel!
Tous les plats étaient excellent, repas bien apprêté,délicieuses saveurs…
Très bon service professionnel, mais très chaleureux.
Je recommande fortement ce restaurant, nous y retournerons à coup sûr!
After a twenty-minute drive from
downtown, the experience proved to be exceptionally worthwhile. The entire culinary experience was truly exhilarating. I am very pleased that we decided to include the optional Tuna dish & paired each course with a different wine. As the dishes were not selected from a menu, each one presented a delightful surprise, awakening the taste buds with unknown deliciousness. The server was professional but friendly at the same time. They do also pay a full attention to their customers. Multiple small gestures here & there made us feel so welcomed. It was a truly delightful experience. Thank you, Mastard!
