This is a very special place. Very nice decor, excellent food, superb service. But the real surprise was the Jules Verne exhibit. Fascinating and truly impressive. They have all his books, posters, illustrations, and other merchandise on display. We were very engrossed. Also a nice gift shop.

Truly a mixed experience here. They do not take reservations and there was a line out the door to be seated when we arrived, though there were plenty of tables available. Service seemed stretched thin!
With tapas, I expect food to come as it's ready but it seems this was coursed out, which meant that there were extended periods of time where we were left waiting wondering if our food would ever arrive. The flavors and dishes were very good, but what was meant to be a quick dinner dragged into a 3 hr affair.
Tons of interesting cocktail options, and check out the museum exhibits!

Great concept and amazing food. Recommend the focaccia (and we are italians). They told us that two plates make a normal main course and that is true. Also dessert was good!

Wonderful patio, both the drinks we had were delicious. I was especially impressed with my mocktail, it was a violet grapefruit masterpiece. Every piece of food we got was delicious. We had the foccacia, white fish fritters and smoked sausages from Les Viandes. Our server was also great, very accommodating for us Americans.

Absolutely outstanding food and ambience! We ordered 6 tapas to share among two people. The sun-dried tomatoes + olive tapenade as well as the stracciatella were my favourites but everything was excellent.
Don’t miss out on the brilliant Jules Verne collection in the restaurant!

Was in la malabie for 1 night. Searched for restaurants and ended up hitting this one. And it turned out to be really nice. The food is great. Portions size might be small, but evey bite is a treat to eat.
Few highlights:
Have decent vegetarian options.
The atmosphere is very welcoming
Staff is super nice.
We didnt know french at all and were curious if we would be able to explain what we needed. Surprisingly, all the staff were bilingual. Not very common to find in quebec.
And its not a restaurant. Its something else in decor. What it is, is something worth going and experiencing it for yourself.

Wonderful place for enjoying afternoon tea time or tapas for dinner. There is a small exhibit and a souvenir shop. Beware, the bathrooms and in the basement and have a unique “touch“. The menu is delicious. I greatly enjoyed my experience.

Husband and I stopped in for lunch during our visit from Montreal. We sat at the bar and ordered a few plates. The food was 12/10, truly so delicious. Our server Alex was amazing and really made the experience for us. He had tons of amazing local recommendations for us that he was passionate to share. Loved it!
Coup de cœur… super ambiance, même avec un fort achalandage, on n’est pas du tout déranger par le bruit… espace feutré et décor enchanteur! J’adore le concept des tapas et que dire de leurs fabuleux cocktails… nous avons adoré leur Expresso Martini … et pour compléter le tout… un divin gâteau au fromage… quel délice!!!
Acceuil chaleureux, excellent service, ambiance à couper le souffle, tapas succulents et carte des vins qui fait plaisir à déguster! Bravo à toute l'équipe et un gros merci à Brandon

We walked into this restaurant by chance and we were not disappointed. We had tea time and it was excellent. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. A very nice surprise and an establishment to recommend with your eyes closed.
