Service is excellent. 3 servers floating around, enjoying the challenge of translatng the many ingredients into english. Chef pops... More

Although it is a bit out of the way for us, each time we travel to Montreal, we make a point of having dinner here one night. We have not been disappointed yet. More

Thanks TripAdvisor colleagues for leading us to a real find, one that would not have been on our radar otherwise, and without which we would have missed a new treasure.

My issue with the restaurant is more the part of town where it is located. I would suggest that I would not like to come out of the restaurant by myself (or with my... More
