This was my 6th Michelin star restaurant in the last 10 days. I could have been saturated or bored. But No. Sabayon delivered a unique repertoire of flavours & textures that clearly distinguish itself from any restaurant. Among the dishes, the amuse-bouche with the mushroom broth, the scallops, maitake, vert 2.0 & chocolate dessert were divine. The setting was very convivial & the service familial. In sum, it was an outstanding experience that needs to be repeated in the near future.
Part 2-
My second visit to Sabayon didn't disappoint. In fact, it wasn't even more creative than the first visit which was already stellar! I know it is hard to believe but you have to experience it at least twice! This happened after another long trip of 5 weeks where I ate outside every day, & 7 Michelin stars restaurants across South Korea, Malaysia & Spain, which makes this experience even more formidable. Montreal is really lucky to have Patrice & Marie-Josée. I am looking forward to my next visit!
Sans contredit la meilleure expérience gastronomique montréalaise! Chaque plat est en soit une oeuvre tout comme son menu complet qui s'harmonise dans son ensemble. Service impeccable, Patrice & Marie-Josée sont des passionnés & partagent le plaisir de leur gastronomie. Merci pour ce plaisir gustatif hors norme🙏🏻✨
Nous étions 4 & tous, sans exception nous nous sommes dit:'Quelle experience incroyable!' Tous les plats étaient bon. & nous avons tous été unanime sur Le plat d'Omble Chevalier, il restera gravé dans nos mémoires. Perso, l'un des meilleurs plats que j'ai mangé dans ma vie. Patrice Demers & Marie-Josée Beaudoin ont été des hôtes extraordinaire. Ca vaut amplement le prix. Merci à vous 2 pour ce souvenir qui restera gravé dans nos mémoires. Au plaisir de se revoir!!!
Sans faute - nous y étions pour le menu végane & il y avait du GOUT dans TOUT TOUT TOUT -
Le pairing que nous propose Marie-Josée élevait les plats - c'était sublime. Bravo!
Excellent meal with interesting standouts like the salty cheesecake appetizer, the fresh cucumber scallops, & the pistachio cake under the strawberry sorbet.
The tasting menu as a whole was very well curated & went from one dish to the next harmoniously.
A great selection of wines & cocktails available to pair.
Service was very welcoming, friendly & knowledgeable. Patrice & Marie-Josée make you feel right at home in their space.
I would recommend anyone try it to mark a special occasion, or simply to have a great evening.
Le tea-time était divin. Je reviendrai, c'est certain. Félicitations Patrice & Marie-Josée pour cette adresse formidable & merci infiniment pour l'accueil!
After months of trying to secure a reservation, we finally had the pleasure of dining at Sabayon - & it was more than worth the wait.
My wife & I visited with another couple, & from the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Chef Patrice addressed my friend's allergies with impressive attention to detail. The care he took in crafting each dish was evident, & his ability to adapt the tasting menu without compromising flavour or creativity was masterful.
We had the tasting menu & opted for wine pairings, & the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Patrice presented each course, proudly highlighting the use of local, seasonal ingredients, which added a meaningful layer to the story behind each plate. Every dish was beautifully balanced, inventive, & absolutely delicious.
Equally commendable was Marie-Josée, who guided us through the wine pairings with passion & precision. Her selections not only complemented each course perfectly but also reflected the same local-first philosophy that made the entire meal feel deeply connected to its place.
The harmony between kitchen & cellar, between chef & sommelier, made this evening unforgettable. Sabayon is not just a restaurant - it's an experience, & one we can't wait to repeat.
Marie-Josée Beaudoin & Patrice Demers se sont surpassé avec leur tout dernier projet. Nous sommes ravis par l'heure du thé. Service irréprochable. Les thés se marient à la perfection aux desserts prodigieusement exquis. Le Sabayon mérite le déplacement. Un incontournable !
Fabulous experience, one of the best table we ate at this year in Montreal. Patrice & Marie-Josée offer amazing food & service, it's hard to believe it's just the two of them! Plates are elevated, original & delicious. Price is extremely honest as well, 100% worth the struggle to get a reservation :)
