Fantastic service. Spectacular food. We each found something to suit our palette - broccolini & burrata plus octopus & tzatziki to burger to pasta to steak frites. We all walked away so happy. Merci!

Stopped in without a reservation on a Saturday & grabbed a seat at the bar. Staff was super friendly & the food was amazing. Ordered the octopus off the regular menu & the baked scallops on special. Was all perfectly cooked & the meal was paced well for a solo guest. Would definitely recommend & will visit again on my next trip to Montreal
