    Love the food, the service staff and the atmosphere. Highly recommended for a special occasion or just and excuse to have an excellent meal. Meal portions are modest - but perfect. Drink options and bartender offer great suggestions.

    Exquisite French food perfectly presented. The chicken with melted brie in a sage sauce tasted wonderful. Would definitely repeat next time we are in Montreal.

    Wonderful authentic French dishes. Very interesting spin with the crème brûlée fois gras (loved it) and all the beef/lamb dishes were excellent (especially the fillet mignon). The rabbit wrapped in dough was very earthy and delicious. Chicken with Bri is right up my Alley because I believe Bri should be a food group, but if you are not in love with Bri, steer clear of this one. It was so yummy!! Excellent service, but a bit slow. We are American tourists and are very much used to the in and out exp, but this is meant to be a relaxed dining experience, meaning the comment about speed or lack of it is more us than the restaurant. A bit pricey, but quality, creativity and all the yummy decadent sauces and desserts made it all well with it!

    C’était très bruyant dans la petite pièce où nous étions ce qui a gâcher un peu notre repas qui était excellent avec un service exceptionnel, mais très bruyant beaucoup d’anglais et d’américains qui parlaient très fort. La prochaine fois que je vais réserver, il faut réserver près des fenêtres de la rue.
