We had an exceptional experience in this restaurant from start to finish. The dinner was just perfect, the student staff was a little shy but she really did her best to serve us well.

One of my favourite restaurants in the world! I would travel to Montreal just for this! Thank you to the couple on the airplane from Vancouver to Montreal for the recommendation!!

The service is incredible and they do have menus in English and French! Our server was lovely. We booked our reservation for 8 and we stayed until 10. Great atmosphere and perfect for dates, anniversaries and celebrations.

The food was delicious! We started with a free sample of tartare. It was great. The duck tartare was great and went well with the potato chips and the sauces. We got the quebec cheeses and they were divine. As a lactose intolerant person it was a lot but the selection of cheeses were excellent and they were a good variety too! Two firm and one soft cheese. The halibut was flaky and fresh. The steak was nicely cooked too! The potato side was crispy and paired well. The dessert was good. I felt like I didn’t love the texture of the rice pudding with the grains of rice but it was interesting. The buckwheat dessert was also good. I appreciate how unique they look.
