Best French restaurant in Canada

R	Robert Zheng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Would return. Would recommend. Everything was delicious - great atmosphere, book ahead, gets busy. Highly recommend the onion soup (classic) and tartare (also classic). Mains were okay, not exceptional.
J	Josh Kim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious French food!! Can't express how great this place is. The vibe of the whole place, the staff, and the food is a great combo. So glad we chose this place as our first meal in Montreal :)
A	Angela Ho on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came for dinner here on a Wednesday night, the service was wonderful and everyone was super attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! I haven't had tartare in so long and it was better than I remembered!! The lobster ravioli was sooooo delicious and flavorful! That sauce was so creamy! And the braised beef was soft and tender. At the end we barely had space for dessert but I went for it anyway! The truffle was amazing! Dark chocolate truffles, so good!!! I'd definitely come back again in the future
A	Alanna Albert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of the best restaurants, in my opinion, in Montreal. Parking is very tough but well worth the time. There are a few public lots within walking distance. Take advantage of them. The service is impeccable. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. We started with the appetizers of fried calamari and beef tartar. The calamari was lightly battered and crunchy with the inside perfectly tender. Beef tartar is not one of my faves but it was really fresh and tasty. We then had the hanger steak with fries and one of the daily specials of duck breast. Both were cooked to perfection and delicious. No dessert was required. We were too full but there is a great selection available. Reservations are a must. A definite Do Not Miss.
J	J Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Starting from good to the downright bad: the environment is pretty nice, decent for an after-work dinner. The food is a little bland, the dishes could use a little more seasoning. Then the worst thing of all: the service. There seem to be two types of waiters, some senior head waiter, and everyone else. I got assigned the senior waiter, so lucky me, right? That guy was awful; he constantly forgot or ignored our table, and he even joked about forgetting to another waiter. Everyone else worked diligently; I had to flag those waiters to get menus and dishes cleared. I prefer not to gamble on service when I go to a restaurant, so I'd recommend any other place nearby.
A	Amanda I on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressed by the food, drinks and service! We had a large group and our server was so pleasant, answered our questions patiently and offered alternatives when needed expertly. I tried the lobster ravioli and grilled salmon dishes - both were delicious. The atmosphere was nice as well!
A	Adriana Naffah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I loved the fact that it's a slow food mentality. The meals are meant to eat slowly and no one comes to kick you out while u never had to wait too long for my next service. We overall stayed for 4h almost. My bison steak with butternut puree was delicious. The portions are generous and well balanced. The desserts were okay, with a preference for the crème brûlée. There is a large selection of wines that are very affordable.
Y	Yue Yang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Last summer when we walked pass this restaurant, it and all nearby restaurants were fully booked with half capacity (government covid control policy). My neighbor told me it was a good restaurant. Last night we had supper there with a visiting guest. The originality the chef put in the dishes with details, we enjoyed the food as much as the service. We had the best duct confit compared to other two French cuisine restaurants in the Old Montreal. Price is reasonable, not raised after the pandemic when the restaurants suffered greatly. Desserts are nice too. I like the complexity.
