Salle Climatisee knocked our socks off. They know what they're doing & who they are, & the convivial host is warm & welcoming. You feel like you're in his house & he's giving you a beautiful meal with harmony within each dish & across courses, where butter is a'love language.' The vibe is like Brooklyn but better, because it's Montreal. Book ahead, because when word gets out, you'll have to.
We made our reservation two weeks in advance & arrived about 10 minutes late. The staff welcomed us with no stress, which we really appreciated. That said, please don't be late-these people work hard & deserve respect for their professionalism.
From the start, everything felt well thought out: a choice of sparkling or still water, spotless cutlery, & a menu designed so your server can walk you through the details-resulting in top-notch service.
Food wasn't our main focus for the evening, except for the beef tartare, which truly stood out. It was top quality & even reminded me a little of the tartare at White Rabbit in Moscow. The team also knows how to make custom cocktails, which was a pleasant surprise. We shared dessert, corn, & a few other dishes-good, simple, & well executed.
The room was a bit loud, but in the best way: lively & full of energy, yet somehow still cozy enough that you could almost sneak a small nap. We got exactly what we were looking for-three hard-earned hours of mini-holiday vibes-joking with our waiter & soaking in the atmosphere.
This is a divine restaurant. Every dish we got was perfect (the leeks, the halibut, cheese plate, sticky pudding). We sat at the counter & watched the excellent chefs make it look easy. The wine we had was also great (glasses, white). The price is fair. The whole vibe is endearingly laid back & confident. Great time.

5 stars on everything. The service was fantastic (thanks for the shot of Amaro at the end of the meal, chef!). The food was creative & delicious. The wine choices excellent & the vibe immaculate. Don't leave without trying the pork & the sticky carrot pudding.
Salle Climatisee coaxes incredible flavor from the simplest ingredients. I've had great tartare, pork chops, & char, & their vegetables really shine. The wine list is excellent - focused on natural wines while being very approachable, & they put a lot of thought into helping you make a selection. Most of all, the entire crew is awesome, & the service & vibe are sublime. There isn't another restaurant I'd rather dine in.
Stumbled upon this spot while looking for a place to have a drink & some snacks on a Friday evening. We were sat on their mini terrace on the sidewalk. We did not understand anything that was on the menu so we asked the waiter to describe each dish. I believe the cuisine was mainly French with a Middle E astern twist. We ordered the fresh bread which was fantastic & about 3/4 vegetable dishes along with the tartare. All very well flavoured but portions were very tiny. One bite each type of tiny. We ended the night with dessert which surprisingly had the biggest portion. Overall was a great night with friends but was also a very expensive night. We were three & each had a bill of 100$ for mainly vegetables & wine. In my opinion too expensive. The waitress/waiter was great & the vibe was chill.
