Salle Climatisée est décrite comme une adresse intime et chaleureuse où l'ambiance conviviale et le soin apporté aux plats créent une expérience culinaire mémorable. Le menu, en rotation et axé sur des produits locaux et de saison, met en valeur les légumes et les saveurs avec des touches innovantes et des textures surprenantes. Les plats phares tels que le tartare de boeuf, le poisson et les viandes, ainsi que des desserts décadents comme le pudding de carotte collant, suscitent régulièrement des réactions enthousiastes, et la cohérence est souvent soulignée d'une visite à l'autre. Le service est généralement décrit comme chaleureux, attentif et professionnel, avec une cuisine ouverte en vue et une ambiance qui peut se révéler intime et animée selon les heures. La carte des vins et les options sans alcool ajoutent une dimension agréable, et le cadre petit et convivial pousse à réserver à l'avance. Si le rapport qualité prix peut faire l'objet de remarques sur le coût, l'ensemble est perçu comme une expérience culinaire supérieure et digne d'une halte régulière lorsqu'on se trouve à Montréal.
Absolutely delicious - this might be the best restaurant in Montreal. I really appreciated that almost every dish (except one main) can be ordered as a half portion, which is perfect for solo diners, & even the half portions were very generous. The leek & roasted mushrooms were amazing, & the beef tartare had a very unique seasoning unlike any other I've had. They also kindly offered to replace the carrots with sweet potato for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. The server gave excellent wine recommendations too. A perfect experience.
We've visited Salle Climatisee a number of times, & have never been disappointed. Service is exceptional, food is spectacular & atmosphere is cozy & inviting. Brendan & his team are passionate & welcoming to all their guests. Beautiful wine selection. Love the rotation of the menu, always get to try some thing new.

I truly feel like I can't oversell this place. In my two visits so far, Salle has transformed my opinion of four different vegetables (for the record: leeks, chard, rutabaga & mature spinach).
Each dish I've had pairs one classic, simple aspect executed perfectly, & a surprising element.
For example, the leeks with two sunflower seed sauces, which were available both times I visited. Perfectly cooked, custardy leeks with a pair of sauces I never would have expected to be so balanced, smooth, yet distinctly flavored of sunflower seed.
Or the pork chop with chard & carrots; the pork chop itself was simple. Perfectly pan-cooked (I compared the texture to a low & slow prime rib) but accompanied by tender chard & an apple jus that was barely sweet, but so savory I was mopping up every drop with the house's lovely sourdough before letting that plate leave the table.
Other notable memories include a tartare that brought a tear to my eye, a poached pear & buckwheat cream that defied explanation, & a lovely non-alcoholic chamomile infused cranberry drink (though the wine selection is thoughtful & extensive in spite of Salle's small footprint).
The place is tiny, & the fact that I got a same-day dinner reservation still feels wrong to me. This feels like the kind of place with a waiting list, & if I had waited months instead of hours for this same meal, I would have been no less pleased.
Front & back of house staff were both friendly, happy to serve & talk with us. I left full, happy & enlightened, & I don't think you should leave Montreal without stopping by for the same treatment.
Easily one of the best restaurants in Montreal. I've been a handful of times now, & each visit somehow tops the last. The service is warm, unpretentious knowledgeable, & makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The food & wine are consistently outstanding - it's honestly impossible to pick a favorite dish without doing a disservice to the rest of the menu
I really enjoy the atmosphere in here. For my tastes, the music is just loud enough, the lights just dim enough, & the service was the right amount of attentive & laid back. The wine selection was fun & interesting. The food was good overall. The corn dish we tried was slightly underwhelming. The price point is slightly high but worthwhile.
Our dinner at Salle Climatisée ranks among the most memorable meals we have had. Every course - from the leeks to blueberry dessert with tarragon (& superb dessert wine of undistilled grapes & cognac - wow!) was as inventive as it was delicious. Not one was less than superb! We loved the casual atmosphere, the attention from the owner(s) & chefs, & watching our food being prepared while we ate at the counter. We will be back every time we revisit Montreal!
Exceptional food & wine. The leeks were one of the best bites in recent memory. Service was fabulous & I will be coming back soon for sure!! Thank you!!!!

My husband & I had such an enjoyable meal here. Brendan & his team were friendly, funny, attentive, & it was clear that they care so much about the food, the wine, & the guest experience. We sat at the bar which was great fun to watch the chefs at work & enjoy the bustling activity of the restaurant.
We shared a number of stellar dishes - leeks with two sunflower dressings, steak tartare, a warm corn dish, bread & butter, halibut from Gaspésie, & sticky carrot pudding. Each dish was delicious, with the halibut being a particular standout. It's so nice that restaurants like this exist - where you can enjoy food that has been prepared with care & served with that same care & attention. We'll be back the next time we're in Montreal!
A truly incredible dining experience, one for the books. We had the pleasure of sitting at the counter & were able to watch the care, precious & love that went into every dish from the efficient kitchen crew. Brendan's wine recommendations were exceptional, his attention elevated our experience in every way. We worked through 5 or 6 courses & each bite was delightful. We leaned deeply into the summer produce bounty & seafood & the flavors were complex, nuanced & layered. Every drop of sauce was soaked up by the delicious bread. This dining experience was the star of our trip to Montreal. Thank you, team, for a truly memorable night. If this restaurant were in Brooklyn, we'd be regulars, truly.
Shockingly so, was shook after my initial experience in this magickal room. How is it that a leek can taste this good? How did I get high on vegetables & a glass of sparkling wine?! Staff super stoked to serve, it's really lovely to see this level of care. I think it took three minutes just to finish that leek's preparation. We are so LUCKY to have this gem. Cannot wait to revisit this 500 star experience
We've been coming to Montreal for 15 years in the summer & have followed several chefs/restaurant managers as they deepen their talents. The current iteration of Brendan's Salle Climatisée achieves one of highest pinnacles of Montreal's special experiences: well-conceived & excellent local fresh & seasonal exquisite bites. I couldn't say a word while eating the poached lobster & the accompanying Hof Kelsten bread, which helped me get every last drop of the sauce. The halibut, green bean salad, & carrot bread pudding brought similar pleasures. A fun atmosphere, convivial staff, & a great wine selection. Can't wait to go back.

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.
Wow, expectations were high from all the positive coverage but we enjoyed our first experience even more than we could have imagined! Everything was perfect. Warm, attentive service. Great wine recommendation. Each dish was simple but creative, unusual & really flavorful. The leeks in vinaigrette are a revelation. Sticky pudding possibly the best ever, & we've tried a lot! Tiny but intimate space, can't wait to go back. (Not your spot if you like to start your evening with a beer, though. Only one, a bottled import, available. Not really any cocktails or digestifs either. But a vast by-the-glass wine selection ($15-$20 per generous pour) is curated to the menu to make up for this)
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.

Great service & wine recommendations. Beef tartare was amazing. Cabbage was the best cabbage I've ever had, really the ideal way to cook it. Chicken & clams was good, mostly because of the broth. I didn't feel like the gigantes beans added anything. The carrot cake sticky toffee pudding hybrid had this weird salty buttery taste to it that wasn't the best. The gentiane spritz recommended as a starter was refreshing.
My wife & I had a fantastic experience at Salle Climatisée for dinner. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. It was six courses in all. Our server, Brenden, was an amazing host through the tasting. He was enthusiastic about the food, helpful for the wines, & overall engaging. Would without a doubt recommend this place to anyone who would like a great way to spend an evening.
WOW. Best meal I've had this year! Me & my wife split 4 dishes which came out to around 150$ - absolute perfection start to finish. Service was spot on. Great wine selection. Dishes were minimalist but FULL of flavor & seasoned to perfection. Can't wait to go back! If you go this month try the tartare, the Corn, the Pork, & FOR SURE the blueberry dessert!!!
To say salle climatisé is great would be a shame to the food, the service & the uniqueness of this place. Not only will great produce meet great flavor but also friendly service will make your night amazing. 10 for the food 10 for the wine 10 for the service. Thanks to salle climatisé for bringing a bunch of old friends back together & having a perfect night.
