Went for the $25 AYCE. I would say the quality of the food is mediocre. Not disgusting but nothing exceptional. Overall it's still a good deal for the price you pay especially with the cocktail. It's too bad because the rest of the menu looks really good. We got there at 3pm on Saturday. No wait & received our first order really quickly.
Great restaurant, came in for their $25 AYCE Tapas & loved everything on the menu. The veggie dumplings & salmon tartare bites were my favourite!! Will be coming back soon for this great deal!
This was an amazing find during my trip to Montreal! For $25, you can get unlimited tapas & a cocktail of your choice, which is a great deal. My favourite tapas included the salmon tartare, grilled mushrooms, chicken wings, & vegetables dumplings.
We had the pleasure of experiencing a delightful time at this establishment, taking advantage of their $25 per person happy hour special. This incredible deal includes a choice of one cocktail(mocktail) & unlimited tapas, making it a fantastic option for those who appreciate great value without compromising quality. The ambiance was truly enchanting, with a cozy yet stylish atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome. On top of that, the service was exceptional-attentive, friendly, & professional, ensuring that every detail of our visit was handled with care.

We went on a Saturday for their happy hour & it was even better than expected! They clearly communicated the rules of the happy hour & were super friendly. Food came out fast & was so delicious. We enjoyed everything we got & the cocktails were full sized & beautiful. I also decided to order to shots additional to the deal & the bar made us an extra one to share! 100% will be coming back next time I'm in Montreal.
We went for the all you can eat + drink from 3-7 pm which we were told was $20 by a social media post but when we got there it turns out they increased the price to $25 ... The deal was still worth it in our books, the food is pretty good, the options are limited for all you can eat but that's expected. I would definitely recommend it for a cheap "all you can eat" dinner - especially the salmon tartare which has raw salmon! By far the highlight of the meal. Service was great too, waiters were really friendly & fast!
Really good deal for their happy hour! Drinks are good & tapas are good as well! Would definitely come back in the future. No reservations but we came at 3:30 & were seated immediately. Food & drinks came quickly
I went here for the Happy Hour special that is going a bit viral & I will say that it was a fantastic deal. Happy Hour is $20 & includes a cocktail that normally costs $15, so you're essentially paying $5 for all the appetizers you can eat. They don't advertise the Happy Hour items so the options are: Edamame, Wakame, Salmon Tartare, Grilled Mushrooms, Chicken Wings, Sweet Potato Fries, Mozzarella Sticks, Octopus Balls, Veggie or Chicken Gyoza. The food itself is not great, it's clearly frozen foods that they prepare in bulk as part of this happy hour promo but it's still worth it, especially if you're into quantity over quality. The drink quality was fantastic, highly recommend the Summer Purple. Our server was also great. I will note that the food takes forever to come out, it was around 35-40 minutes. Considering it's just fried frozen appetizers, that's too long in my opinion. Still worth the try especially if on a budget.
Nous sommes venus pour le 3 à 7 deal Un excellent choix d'entrées, de cocktails. Service génial & attentionné, nourriture bonne aussi. Clairement imbattable pour le prix !
My partner & I decided to go after seeing the happy hour deal, not realizing how new it was & ended up waiting in line for over 3 hours. ...we didn't get the deal. But still ate there since we were so hungry & wasn't craving anything else. The food was really good, but the service/staff is a little unorganized & was not prepared for the large crowds. It was our poor servers FIRST DAY, felt so bad but she was very sweet & great! If I learned anything, ALWAYS MAKE A RESERVATION
