Beyond the yellow door, guests enter a space where the past and future mingle. Hallmarks of classic bistro style – a long marble bar, white linens and crystal stemware are mixed with contemporary art, bold colour and an eclectic soundtrack of funk, Motown and disco.

Our server, Trevor was absolutely amazing! Everything from greeting us by name to the food and drinks he recommended were 10/10. We definitely will be back!

Absolutely love La Banane, from the exceptional service you received from the welcome to the servers, to the delicious food and cocktails, hands down one of my favourites restaurants in the city! Sylvain made this experience even more memorable with his outstanding service and charisma! The food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of the mushroom dish, the pork and the steak, and to finish, the banane dessert which is to die for! Highly recommended!

We ordered the tasting menu. Loved every bite, our server was amazing, and the other service we received was perfect. I would get up, and come back to a newly folded napkin. A new set of utensils every course. Maybe I’m not used to high end service, but this place set a high standard! Will never stop recommending this place!

It is my forth time at La Banane! We ordered the chef’s menu! Never disappointed ! The service by Sylvie is exceptional. The other waters waitresses equally good! Everyone is attentive to your needs and request. A must try at least once! Linda

La Banane was exceptional! My husband and I went for a quiet dinner and we were overly impressed from when we walked in until we walked out. Sylvan was our server and he was super nice and informative. The restaurant is elegant and beautifully decorated. It’s a lovely menu with a lot of variety. We enjoyed The Normandy mussels and foie gras to start. The muscles are cold and in a crème fraîche with sweet apples. Absolutely delightful. The flower was a nice piece and grilled to perfection. It melted in your mouth. Our entree was the cod with lobster béarnaise and pomme agilot. OMGosh! What a delicious combination!! The potatoes were so creamy and dreamy! finishing off a beautiful meal, we ended with the banana cake, of course. Absolutely an exceptional meal and I highly recommend La Banane!!

It was nice place. Would consider going back. Some of the food came out cold which sucked as we had to wait extra long for the venison. Was told 20-30 minutes but came out 45-50 min later and cold
