   Outstanding, creative, original, a great place to go to with a menu which changes every quarter and reflects the passion of the chef ! Our favorite go to for a fancy dinner in the Mile End

   It was a nice dinner, but didn't live up to the hype at all. The wine pairings were all from the same winery which detracted a bit from the curation because it felt convenient rather than deliberate on the part of the restaurant. For the price, we expected better.

   Un repas en 7 services Accueil excellent Bel endroit Pairing de vins dont le niveau était fort décevant dans l’ensemble alors qu’on valorisait une belle région canadienne Le pain était lourd mais ok Le taco de légumes etait le wow de la soirée 🌼 beau succès belle présentation Les autres plats allaient de déception en déception Plusieurs périodes de longueur dans le service avec beaucoup d’attente Une perspective un peu discordante d’un restaurant autrement bien apprécié …

   Worst experience of our one-week stay in Montreal. 45-minute wait between course one and two, with no explanation other than, 'Sorry for the delay.' Three hours and 15 minutes after we arrived, still had not gotten all of our courses. We packed up and left. Chef got in the face of one of his assistants and yelled at him in the kitchen in full view of restaurant patrons. Unacceptable and unbelievable. And, the food was good at times, not so good at others and not at all memorable. Staff was friendly but experience for the very high price tag was really terrible overall. Will not recommend or go back.

   Excellent petit resto. Les plats sont très travaillés tout comme les accords mets-vins. J'aurais préféré avoir un plat plus généreux en quantité au lieu de deux desserts. Le ravioli était un peu chiche en homard, c'aurait été plus satisfaisant de ne mettre que du homard au lieu de le mélanger avec du poulet. Tant qu'à mettre cet ingrédient au menu, on s'attend à plus, je crois. En revanche, l'agneau était divin! Merci pour la très agréable soirée!

   A party happening at every bite. The presentation and taste are just spectacular. The lamb is the best I've ever had. The banana cake is just sublime! Everything stands out except maybe the quantity. Even Though it was a 7 course meal, I wasn't full after the meal due to the portions being small.

   Nous avons eu deux desserts assez copieux…j’aurais préféré un plat de poisson ou de légumes de plus. Deux desserts c’est trop! Le plat de pain accompagné de jambon et fromage était très bon mais j’aurais préféré une création plus originale. C’était ma deuxième visite. À ma première visite, j’avais été plus impressionnée. Ceci dit le premier plat de flétan était sublime et nous avons passé une excellente soirée! Merci

    I'm visiting once every quarter when their new menu comes out and each time I'm delighted and can't wait to come back! It is the best place in Montreal (or maybe even Canada & the world).

    Food and service were both exceptional. The blend of flavors and textures in each dish was extraordinary, and the wine pairings meshed unbelievably well with the food. Staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. One of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

Le service est A1, courtois et professionnel, ce qui nous donne l'impression d'être toujours les bienvenus à leur table. Nous recommandons vivement :)

    Le service, l’ambiance et les gens sont top. On s’attendait à mieux dans l’assiette. Manque de balance , d’unité. Soit trop sucré, trop fumé ou trop salé. Chaque sauce trop goûteuse ou trop réduite. Le deuxième service sur 7 était du pain, du jambon et des tranches de fromages qu'on est cap de trouver a l'épicerie… limite insultant.

    La bouffe, les accords et le service sont toujours aussi excellents. Impeccable. Ma seule micro-déception était que j'aurais espéré une nouvelle mouture du menu. Quelques plats étaient similaires à ma dernière visite (il y a deux mois), mais ceci est davantage ma faute que celle du restaurant. Je le mentionne simplement pour me/vous rappeler d'espacer vos visites suffisamment pour permettre au menu de changer. Un des meilleurs restos de Montréal.

    The most amazing meal, presentation, service and wine recommendations. We had a 7 course tasting menu and this was easily in the top 3 dining experiences for us. The only thing I would say negative about the “value”, it cost us the same to fly from Vancouver to Montreal as it did to dine there. I guess that is not a negative on the dining experience, just the overall value…

    C’était une expérience incroyable Les saveurs au rendez vous. Chaque plat avait toutes les saveurs (acide, umami, salé, sucré et piquant) tout avec une balance parfaite. Laissez moi vous dire que l’accord met et vin était un ajout aux saveurs. Simplement la senteur du vin après une bouchée de l’assiette était d’un accord magnifique, c’était un des meilleurs accord met et vin que j’ai goûté dans ma vie. Un énorme merci à toute l’équipe pour votre travail extraordinaire qui nous fait vivre une expérience hors de se monde!

    I’ve traveled the world and eaten at dozens of Michelin star restaurants and to this day I still say that this is my second favourite restaurant in the world, displaced only my Celler de Can Roca. I loved it when it was Deux Singes de Montarvie and I still love now. Chapeau to the crew!

    I was a bit sceptical based on the reviews that it would live up to the ratings, but this place is really something special! The food was absolutely wonderful, the service was warm and friendly, pricing was really reasonable for the quality, and the atmosphere in the dining room was great! It is really rare (in my humble opinion, at least) to really and truly love every single course of a blind tasting menu, but Île Flottante really surpassed expectation across every single of its seven courses - dishes were beautifully presented, flavour was intricately layered and wonderfully creative (need I say more than a parsnip-based mille-feuille dessert?). Thank you for a wonderful evening!
