4.3 / 5.0(3,513 reviews)
I decided to have some lunch at this french restaurant in Montreal and I was blewn away by the freshness and flavor of the food! The service here was great. I chose bar seating as I was for one, because of this I had a chance to interact with a few of the service team and they were able to help me decide what to try on the menu! They were also very friendly, accommodating and relatable! This was my first time having beef tartar and let me tell you, I'm so glad I tried it here and not anywhere else! The flavors of the tartar were elegant but bold and blended together so smoothly in every bite. If your having any thoughts about trying the beef tartar, I recommend! Stepping into this establishment was nothing short of AMAZING! The French architecture of the building and surrounding areas was mind blowing. From the food to the decor and inside aesthetics, this is an absolute brunch experience you don’t want to miss when visiting Montreal. Our waitress Melissa was such a warm soul with a pleasant attitude and just an overall zest for life… she made our dining experience incredible! Kudos to her and the entire wait staff. My husband really enjoyed his birthday brunch! Been here a few times but it was my first dinner. The Niçoise salad was surprisingly pretty good. I told my daughter they had a really good beef tartare(had it for lunch last fall) but we were disappointed it was a little chewy and the potion smaller. However the sea bass with the leeks & purée were well prepared and delicious. Sealed the meal with a crème brûlée which was good!

Had a wonderful breakfast experience here! The interior was beautifully luxurious with stylish contemporary touches that made the space feel both elegant and inviting. We ordered a croissant and salmon salad, and both dishes truly impressed us. Even the simple croissant stood out—it was flaky, flavorful, and far above the usual breakfast fare. When I added prosciutto and butter, it became one of the most delicious and unique croissants I’ve ever had. The service was warm and made us feel like valued guests, adding to the overall positive experience. The only downside was that it took quite a while to receive our bill, which was a bit of a hiccup in an otherwise seamless morning.

We waited for one hour for our dishes, at a time that is not super packed. These type of breakfast food should never take that long, keeping us starving. When it’s ready, it was served to the wrong table. The eggs were not properly done, the potatoes were not flavored, and the fried chicken looked pathetic. There’s also no fruit for the egg Benedict that the google photo was showing. Also, we said we’ll have just one smoothie, but two were served. The servers all look burnt out and stressed.
