An absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! We arrived a bit later on a Sunday evening & had a reservation at 8:30 PM. They seated us quickly & took our orders very effectively. The red pepper dip was absolutely tremendous & the mocktails including other cocktails were wonderful as well. The food arrived on time & wonderfully warm. Service was outstanding! Friendly & very helpful suggesting wonderful accompaniments for our meal. Pricing was good for Montreal. Highly recommended.

We went for supper last night & everything was amazing. The food was delicious & the service was great. Very courteous manager & staff. I can't recommend this spot enough for a small group who wants to share multiple plates. 10/10!!

Went there for a private celebration. Was disappointed at first since when you book online, you have to pay 50$ per person to guarantee the reservation but I was able to make a booking by phone. The place is little bit worn out but we got a nice table. Unfortunately most of the items you see on their social media are not available, so we had to choose from their lunch menu which is somehow limited. However the food presentation & taste are excellent. Some items needed few adjustments but in general, everything was great. The only thing I will go back to have another time is their dessert the baklava pancake something, oh my god , it is from another world( highly recommended) . The service was very good & friendly , in general I will try again. They charged 15$ for parking which I found somehow strange & the kitchen closes at 15:00 but you still can stay in the resto
