“C’est une expérience à vivre! Le menu Carte blanche est divin! Le personnel en salle et en cuisine ont fait de cette soirée un moment inoubliable! C’est une cuisine gastronomique originale du terroir à découvrir!“

“Superbe ambiance, un repas à couper le souffle accompagné d'un service hors pair. Nous avons opté pour le menu découverte et avons essayé les deux possibilités de pairing au niveau du vin. C'était tout simplement parfait. Félicitations à tous les membres du personnel présent hier soir (8 oct). Vous avez élevé notre soirée. Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux.“

“This was, without a doubt, our favorite restaurant in Montreal. From the moment we arrived, we loved the atmosphere—warm, welcoming, and with a cozy, family-like feel that immediately made us feel at home.
The service was exceptional. Everyone on the staff was attentive and friendly throughout the entire experience, but we would especially like to thank Morgan, who took incredible care of us. We decided to try something different and asked her to choose everything for us, from the appetizer all the way to dessert, without telling us what dishes would be coming to the table. It made the experience even more special and exciting.
Every dish that arrived was a surprise. Not only was the presentation impeccable, but the flavors were outstanding. Honestly, it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a very long time.
A huge thank you to Morgan and the entire team for making our evening so memorable. We will definitely be back whenever we return to Montreal.“

“This place is truly one of a kind. You cannot go wrong with anything. Everything was amazing but major highlights were: maitake mushrooms, jambon, scallops and the pork - whatever you do, get the pork. Also, our server Jasmine was impeccable so kind and sweet. 5 stars all around!“

“Best tartare we have ever had! Fabulous meal! Wow!“

“Absolutely enjoyable experience from start to finish. Exceptional service throughout the evening. We enjoyed the tasting menu, each course an adventure for your taste buds and all beautifully presented. The decor and ambiance made for a relaxing dining experience with the perfect pacing of food.“

“Hip little restaurant, service was excellent. Went there on recommendations from Reddit. For the price, the mains are same size as the appetizers so order many plats to try. Everything was good, 1-2 plates stood out. Would recommend to try.“

“Expérience unique , de découverte et dans un ambiance vraiment remarquable !“

“Top culinary discovery of 2025! Absolutely loved everything I ate and drank I would give it more than 5 stars if I could Highly recommended“

“Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table and were able to see all the food being prepared and ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste and they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious and made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.“

“Je vous recommande ce restos de quartier..Bouffe trad Quebecoise cuisinée style maison..De plus, le proprios est très sympathique et surtout passionné par l'art culinaire. Si vous êtes perdu dans le plateau et que la fringalle vous pogne..vous savez où aller cogner..“

“Menu is not large but they have a lot of specials that are off menu they offer when you arrive. I can be a picky eater but the staff was very accommodating and made everything work for me. The drinks were great and came quickly, everything was fresh and flavourful, very much worth trying. Reasonably priced as well and the portion sizes are good!“

“Ce restaurant n’est rien de moins qu’une perle rare. Nous y étions hier et ce fut une expérience gastronomique extraordinaire. Et extraordinaire ne reflète pas notre très grande appréciation et satisfaction pour les œuvres d’arts qui nous furent servis. Oeuvres d’art sont les mots justes. À découvrir et à répéter.“

“Went for the Habs game with a 2 year old. Everyone was insanely friendly and very kind to our kid.
There are no changing tables or kid's menu but the bathroom was spacious enough for a diaper mat and the mac and cheese was great for my kid.
We were so happy with everything!“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Rubel. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He anticipated our needs without being intrusive, made excellent recommendations, and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect.

What stood out most was his warm personality and commitment to exceptional customer service. He made us feel valued as guests and created an atmosphere that was both comfortable and enjoyable. It's rare to encounter someone who combines efficiency, friendliness, and professionalism so effortlessly.

Rubel truly elevated our morning, and we left impressed not only by the food but by the outstanding service he provided. My wife and I highly recommend him and look forward to returning. Thank you, Rubel, for making our dining experience memorable!“

“Resto super sympathique. La propriétaire et les employés sont accueillants et souriants. J'ai mangé la lasagne au loup marin... miam ! Je me suis régalée. Je suis repartie avec plein de petits plats à emporter. J'y retournerai, c'est certain.“

“I somehow managed to be given the best seat in the house: next to the kitchen, and right next to the chef, Josh Crowe. The experience of sitting at the bar allowed me to better appreciate the inner workings of this 30-year old establishment. The staff were as kind and supportive of each other, as they were to the guests, who filled the restaurant, bar, and terrace on this warm May evening. I observed Chef Josh and co-owner Barbara Irwin continuously interacting with each staff member. I had never witnessed such a high level of communication, where information flowed seamlessly from the front of the restaurant to the kitchen and vice versa. My meal began with a great cocktail and was followed by a glass of Spanish red, which paired very well with the best pork chop that I have ever had. The 3-inch thick chop was perfectly cooked and the complex flavours of the dish melted together harmoniously. It has been a few years since my last meal there, but I will be back shortly to enjoy the social sidewalk terrace, which offers the best in NDG people watching. You may decide to go to the Tavern for the food, cocktails, and wine list, but you will also be treated to the culture that Barbara & Josh have established over the past decade. They have created something special and seem fully committed to maintaining the same high level of culinary experience and appreciation for their patrons. My overall impression of the Monkland Tavern is one highlighting a collaborative team approach, effective two-way communication, a concentrated attention to every detail of the dining experience, professional courtesy, and mutual respect. I was impressed and you surely will be too.“

“Great experience eating at plaza for the first time. Each dish was unlike what I had ever tasted before… I would without a doubt reorder the whelk, razor clams and tartare. The beets and cheese was not my favorite, that’s just personal taste though. the desserts were amazing. We would come back just to have a tasting menu of desserts honestly. Decor is fun, restaurant got loud at times but that’s the atmosphere. Loved it!“

“Excellent souper. Je recommande l’entrée de pétoncles et l’amandier au chocolat au dessert. Tout était très bon. Le service était impeccable. Merci à toute l’équipe!“

“What an exquisite atmosphere! I could hardly tell the difference form this restaurant from the actual cave i visited in Afghanistan when i was 12 years old. They served me a samosa that was an absolute delicacy. I prefer these samosas to the indian ones!!! The servers were incredibly polite despite the fact i do not understand arabic! 10/10!“

“So good I recommend good service“

“I’m so glad we came here! Good food for a hangry family.“

“Fantastic service! Exceptionally tasty poutine made with fresh ingredients! A must try!“

“I was totally impressed by the friendly service and hard workers trying to satisfy all their clients. The atmosphere is perfect and the food is the best I have had in a long time! I have tried several items on the menu and each one was delicious! You can tell the Chef has plenty of experience and takes pride in what he prepares for his customers! How anyone can have negative criticism is beyond me?? If you can't find anything positive to say then why say anything at all! I'm sure you will be back all you Karen's!! ?“

“Bonne ambiance, espace entre les tables.“

“La cuisine est excellente! Les employés sont courtois et respectueux. Les portions sont généreuses“

“Je n'ai malheureusement pas de photo à l'appui, j'étais trop distrait par le délicieux repas. J'ai été pour la première fois hier à l'occasion de la fête des mères et ... on y retournera certainement pour la fête des pères ! Que dire, tout est parfait ? L'ambiance est conviviable. Les lieux sont ultra propres, incluant la salle de bain. Le service était impeccable et rapide. James fait le tour de tous les clients sur place pour s'assurer que tout est bon. Excellente initiative à la hauteur du restaurant. Je ne peux que chaudement recommander (et je suis quelqu'un de difficile !)“

“It turned out to be a really beautiful day for us. The food tasted quite wonderful, and the place had a very serene, comfortable environment. We loved how friendly and welcoming everyone seemed to be. We are highly anticipating our next visit to this lovely location. It was a truly sweet and relaxing time for our group.“

“Juste wow Merci très belle découverte!“

“Our first time at Brasserie Bernard. Very busy (a good sign!), vibrant and beautiful restaurant. Our food was good (oysters, French onion soup and steak & frites were delicious, the burrata salad less so). Recommended wine pairings were great. Service was excellent and very friendly. Really enjoyed the experience!“

“Went for brunch with a big group on a Sunday. Loved the menu and the drinks! The service was attentive and fast.

Easy to find parking
Bathroom amenities fit for small children - and appreciate the kids menu!

They offer an elevated brunch experience in a local neighborhood spot and i would totally come back“

“Meilleur brunch de Montréal ! Exceptionnel, j’ai pris l’assiette du Caribou et une assiette sucrée (gaufre, brioche perdue…) tout est local et fait maison. La cuisine a du goût, des saveurs, une quantité très généreuse. Le service est rapide et parfait. Jamais mangé un brunch aussi bon de ma vie ! Merci Caribou Gourmand pour ce moment parfait.“
