On était 4 personnes. Rdv prix par téléphone. Les plats étaient excellents. Le plat signature avec le homard était divin. Dommage qu'il y avait un seul dessert. Mérite amplement leur étoile Michelin. Par contre petit bémol, pas de café sur place.
Came here for the tasting menu but they don't offer it to solo diners. However, they do offer a mix of their ala carte menu in smaller portions instead.
I tried the signature lobster & eggs, tuna, trout in Montreal bagel style & the panna cotta. All of them were superb. I've had plenty of lobsters in my life & it's hard to make a lobster dish stand out, but they absolutely hit it out of the park with what they did here. The sauce was well-balanced & the lobster was beautifully cooked.
The trout was also very creatively inspired by a deconstructed bagel. It seemed like an odd mix at first glance but the sesame seeds, scallions, roe & white sauce all came together so beautifully.
Last but not least, service was slow (they were very busy) but the servers were all super kind. This has also been the only restaurant in my life where they charged me the subtotal (not the post-tax amount) on the machine for a more honest calculation of the tip.
Bravo on all fronts - will be back the next time I'm in Montreal.
Ce restaurant a gagné un prix: le pire rapport qualité/prix de 2026.
Un prix délirant pour le menu découverte fait de 5 plats plus ordinaires & banals les uns que les autres - pour deux, avec du vin, 300$+.
Un cadre extrêmement bruyant, entassé les uns sur les autres.
LA déception de l'année à date. Il existe 2x mieux pour 2x moins cher.
L'extérieur ne donne pas de mine. L'intérieur est un endroit sympathique. J'ai adoré mon expérience culinaire. Notre serveur était hyper gentil & attentionné à nos besoins. Ses suggestions ont été judicieuses. Lors de notre visite, nos choix se sont limités qu'au poisson & fruits de mer. Mélange de goûts savoureux. Même chose pour les sauces, pleine de goût. Avec un verre de vin pour couronner le tout. Bref une belle expérience. Seul petit bémol pour moi, le niveau sonore vers la fin du repas. Ça ne semblait pas déranger les gens autour. Merci à notre serveur.
Wow wow wow ! Une experience extraordinaire ! Un service incroyable, la qualité des produits est over the top ! Je recommande fortement…. Il faut un budget quand même mais ca ke vaut!!! Merci les boyyyyysssss l😂
Nous avons adorer notre souper (avec notre fille de 3 ans), le service etait impecable & les repas savoureux, nous recommandons sans hesiter & y retournerons prochainement.
I am pleased to have picked this place to celebrate our anniversary. I can't recommend enough booking a bar seat if you love a kitchen view as much as I do. I really loved the space & the decor, it was so intimate & charming. The food is absolutely astonishing. We savoured every dish with awe & amazement. The trout, scallop crudo & the egg+lobster are must-tries. The panna cotta we were offered was also divine. Speaking as someone who ordered à la carte, I found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality provided.
Let no one defraud oneself under veil of dishonesty: reaching from the middle to underwhelm. I highlight that this was one day, the mileage of others surely varies as demonstrated by the commentary: the day's tasting menu confusedly ran a rogue gambit of fish following fish with a slight interlude from half a boiled egg; the late meal amuse bouche teased a transition to the more savory only for a cushioned let down in...more fish. The wine recommendations & the service itself absolutely excelled beyond the kitchen, & for these two alone I can begin to understand why certain guides' highlights may not have been mistook in vain. The plating carries notes of indviduality, tastes leaning a tad garish on the side of ambitious, yet shattered by poor pacing. If this an oasis, a return surely warranted, but a mirage in such a neighborhood overflowing of milk & honey is but a parasol (though perhaps I did not pick up on the name as implying I would need an umbrella for all the seafood I would be eating).
