Birthday dinner with the family. We were 5, plenty of room. The service was excellent and the server knew the offered products very well and was able to make great recommendations. Too bad the place closed, this was a jewel!

The food was delicious! We ate duck on cassoulet, Wagu beef and paella and everything was absolutely delicious. Some of us even got dessert and it was just as delicious. Super happy we got to visit Les Vilains Garçons before it closed.

Heard a rave review of this place and also that it will be closing at the end of the month so we decided to go before it was too late. Glad we did! Food was VERY tasty and artistically presented. Unfortunately the draft beer selection was extremely limited and the price was too high, but the two they did have were tasty.

On est déjà venu manger chez Les vilains Garçons et c'était excellent! Nous sommes allés pour revivre une belle expérience. Malheureusement, les plats n'étaient pas aussi bons et manquait énormément d'assaisonnement. Notre serveur était très ingrat, il roulait les yeux dès qu'on lui disait quelque chose, nous disais que le minimum sur notre service menu découverte avec accord. Je suis déçu de notre soirée qu'on attendait depuis un moment.

As always the food and service was excellent. It's unfortunate that the restaurant will be closing. I will certainly miss it. Keeping fingers crossed it will re-open in the future.

Dommage qu'il ferme dans un mois, mais profitez de cette expérience culinaire unique. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les pétoncles fumées minute. La découverte du plat était impressionnante et parfumée.

This may be affected by my expectations being high, and maybe the server was just having an off day, but this was one of the costliest, less satisfying and filled with bad service with oddities dinner I've ever experienced. I'm all for discoveries if that's what I choose to order - the 4 serving meal was ordered for us without communication. After waiting 30 minutes post reservation time (without communication or explanations from anyone, or apologies - they weren't THAT busy) to be seated, another 30 minutes for water and to order wine, then the first dish/kings crab legs with sauces and salads served without plates (or check in) for the full 40 minutes we ate it (other tables were given plates) so I got up to get extra napkins and the crumbs (and caviar) on table were wiped off (incompletely and inefficiently) with the server's hand. It all felt very odd.

Very poor experience. We ordered our drinks, and proceeded to wait an hour. When our drinks never ended up coming we left. One of the worst experiences I have ever seen of customer service.

La bouffe est juste assez pour une personne (menu découverte St Valentin) Les prix sont assez cher (85 $ / personne sans le vin), légèrement moins cher que "l'orée du bois" (115$ / personne sans le vin) (Chelsea) Le serveur cassait souvent des verres et ne connaissait pas trop le menu ni le nombre de plats, ce qui est étrange pour un menu unique de la Saint Valentin.

Les Vilains Garçons ne déçoivent jamais... rien à dire. Tout était top! Très belle expérience culinaire. On est vraiment ailleurs, et c'est tant mieux. C'est toujours un plaisir de les retrouver pour goûter à ce qu'ils nous ont mijoté. Bien hâte de voir la suite. Pensées pour Romain, Cyril, Tyler et le reste de l'équipe!

It was my first time going back since the whole Covid thing. I'm happy that the concept is still the same (menu découverte). I love it. I was never disappointed by one of the service. Food is good. Staff if great. Cozy place to have a date.

J'aurais aimé recevoir ce message en français. Nous avons bien apprécié notre soirée; tout dépassait nos attentes. Nous regrettons seulement la fermeture de votre restaurant: nous aurions certainement refait d'autre s visites! Bonne chance dans vos futurs projets!

Magic. Pure and simple magic.I came here for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Our group decided on the discovery menu and by the end I wanted to run back to the kitchen and hug the chef.As the courses came out paired with a lovely wine selection, I was impressed from moment one. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. But then, oh my, but then the final dish came out. It was duck served in a way I’ve never had before.It was the kind of dish that gets to the heart of your childhood trauma and takes it all away. It was the best dish I ate in 2022 and possibly my entire life. I cannot wait to return.

Le repas était exceptionnel. Pour la 2e fois que j'y vais mon amie et moi avons aimé le tout à ce restaurant. Le seul B molle était la température - il faisait un peu trop froid dans la salle à manger.
