Le repas était passable. On avait une réservation pour 20h30, mais finalement on a eu notre table une heure après. Cependant, le restaurant nous a trouvé des tables séparées & offert les entrées pendant qu'on attendait.
We went to ZIBO! Saint-Bruno for dinner a few days ago & were very impressed. My wife Danielle goes there often for lunch with her sisters - it's their go-to girls' day out spot, thanks not only to the food but also to the location inside Promenades Saint-Bruno, the largest upscale shopping mall on the South Shore.
For drinks, Danielle enjoyed a refreshing white sangria, while I had an excellent glass of David Moreno Crianza Rioja. The wine list is surprisingly well curated, featuring selections from major regions around the world & a decent choice of wines by the glass (white, rosé, sparkling, & red).
Food allergies & intolerances are taken very seriously here, with a dedicated gluten-free menu. My wife is lactose intolerant, while I'm gluten-free & also have a pistachio allergy. The staff & kitchen handled this with professionalism & care.
For appetizers, Danielle had the shrimp pogos - crispy tempura shrimp on a stick - while I opted for the Caesar salad (sans croutons), topped with a perfectly cooked strip of crunchy bacon. Both were excellent.
For mains, Danielle had the General Tao-style chicken with pineapple & mango relish, rice, & broccoli. I ordered the Mediterranean seabass with sauce vierge, served with fresh tomatoes, fennel, green olives, roasted pistachios, cauliflower purée, & vegetables. I hadn't noticed the pistachios in the menu description, but the kitchen prepared a pistachio-free version for me within minutes & without fuss. The fish was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, & beautifully presented.
No dessert this time, though I did finish with a good espresso.
The décor is modern & well thought out, with different sections that help keep noise levels down. The open kitchen at the back looks both efficient & spotlessly clean.
All in all, a great dining experience - thoughtful service, excellent food, & a stylish setting. Definitely worth a visit whether you're out shopping or planning a special dinner.
The best amongst other Zibo restaurant. The ambiance is very nice & I like how spacious it is inside. They also have the terrace but we dined inside & I didn't regret it. We were there to celebrate a birthday & they still give complimentary cookie icecream with a sparkler candle. Food is good & cocktail selection is also very good. I took the lady marmalade for my drink & it didn't disappoint. I ordered the salmon with quinoa & it's very tasty. I would definitely go back soon.
Tous ce qu'on a commandé était très bon, cependant même avec une réservation nous avons été placé dans un genre de corridor qui menait vers la terrasse dehors (super remplie) donc beaucoup de passage a coté & derrière nous... ca a pris aussi un bon moment avant qu'on puisse payer & partir. J'y retournerais à plus que 2 ou 3 personnes, pas assez d'intimité pour ma part.
Excellent service, diplomate, souriante & sympathique, A1.
