    Quelle table fantastique! Un chef imaginatif et créatif qui nous emporte dans le tourbillon de ses créations. Il a su insuffler sa passion à tout le personnel autour, jeune, dynamique, attentif et professionnel. Merci à toute l'équipe pour une expérience culinaire qui a comblé tous nos sens. Notre seul regret: avoir découvert Pastel sur le tard.....

    Soirée remarquable. Alexandre est un hôte des plus sympathique. Olivier suggère toujours le meilleur vin pour accompagner le repas. Et la cuisine de Julien est unique, exceptionnelle et de grande créativité préparée par une équipe dynamique et professionnelle. Une expérience gastronomique que l'on garde en mémoire longtemps. Merci.

    We had a wonderful evening at Pastel. The food was inventive and beautifully presented. The “prestige “ wine pairing was inspired - off the beaten track selections that complemented each course. The servers were engaged and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the fare.

    Louis, Simon(Dorito man), Fiona, the Barman who made us too many drinks (not complaining), everyone was quite charming, knowledge and empathetic. Food was thoughtful, surprising and very much comforting and more. Some abuse can be thrown in, so things aren't quite as boring next time though. Chef and pastry chef are insane.

    Not the kind of restaurant you can afford to go to every night. The portions are very small, but wow are they good. Every single thing is beautifully presented and tastes fantastic. The staff was incredibly friendly, they altered the menu for someone with allergies without ever making them feel like they were missing out. For a special occasion or a date, can’t recommend it enough. Definitely a must-try restaurant.

    L’hésitation entre 4 et 5 était sur la notion d’excellence : le service l’était, énormément d’attentions, beaucoup de personnes, des serveurs (et serveuses) joyeux et passionnés. La cuisine l’était quasiment aussi (d’où le 4) : des amuses bouches splendides, des « pré (entrée/desserts) » excellents et travaillés mais des plats beaucoup plus simples. Cette simplicité (bar, caille, tartare) dénote un peu malgré la perfection de la réalisation. Surtout au prix final. Merci tout de même pour ce moment et ce service vraiment très très bons.

    A unique and ambitious culinary experience with the staff to pull it off. Simon, Mia, Alex, Olivier (and team) are attentive experts who have fun doing what they do best. Allow them to take you for a journey with their fabulous tasting menu. They love what they do and it shows in every dish, cocktail, and wine pairing. A magical Montreal evening!

    Un restaurant avec un menu dégustation formidable et un service exemplaire comme on en voit pas souvent. Seul bémol: la musique disco de la fin des années 70, début 80 était insupportable. Je ne comprends pas sa présence pour une telle cuisine. Un volume plus bas nous aurait aidé à l'endurer.

    We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was amazing!! Each course was as tasty as it was stunning and the waitstaff were extremely kind and attentive. We did the blind tasting without wine or caviar and it surpassed all expectations and left us feeling nicely full at the end. They asked about dietary restrictions / allergies ahead of time and the pescatarian substitutions were spectacular. They also brought out an opera cake with a candle for this birthday which was incredibly sweet. It was an unforgettable experience in such a warm atmosphere. The 6-8 course tasting menu was about three hours along but went by too quickly! We will definitely go again :)
