All perfect! Everything was delicious. Open kitch. A tad bit noisy, especially when getting the dish and wine info from our hostess but still, will be back soon!

Great atmosphere and service but the food is not as it used to be 2-3 years ago. Out of four courses, two were subpar. Especially the fish course (arctic char-on the photo) with sweet sauce and carrots. Somehow the dish was too salty and too sweet at the same time. It was bad, with weird flavor. The second course was some sort of soup with leaks and mussels. It was sour and you couldn’t chew anything on the plate. The first course, the oyster and the dessert were solid, with great flavor. This is why I used to love Candide-simple, but sophisticated and tasteful. Unfortunately I don’t think we will be coming back when half of the dishes are a miss. Also a mocktail was not really a mocktail but an apple juice.

Food was inventive, fresh, tasty and not pretentious. Service was not rushed at any point. I’d definitely go back in a few months when the menu changes.

Feels like someone invited you to their cottage. rustic, open concept kitchen, good food, great wine, better staff, recommend the wine pairing - the sommelier was fantastic.

Excellent service, nice decor. The set menu was full of flavour and locally sourced. I don't even like tomatoes and green beans that much and I still enjoyed the second course. The halibut and the vegetable plate were fantastic. The dessert wasn't a bit too corn-ey for me but was still well done. All the cocktails were nice and well presented but I think the Tarragon was the best.

Incredible food, staff and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. The set menu changes monthly with local seasonal ingredients for innovative dishes.

Amazing not to be missed place ... Michelin stars in my book if it does not have them already! Multi course meal with each course being perfect and exceptional, surprising, delicate yet delicious... Love it!

5 stars on all aspects - food, hospitality, service, overall experience. Absolutely a fine dining one should experience. The crew makes sure to explain the menu and the process so that you can choose the right option. What I specifically liked was the portion size - it wasn't too huge but also not too small to keep you hungry. It was as if curated by experts. Hats off to the service as well. Made sure they give enough time to the guests for each course. Definitely recommend this.

Beautiful restaurant, great service, great wine selection and really appreciated that it’s farm to food. We were so pleasantly surprised. The tasting menu catered for a vegetarian and another dairy free. The location and terrace was stunning surrounded by all the herbs grown by the restaurant and fairy lights. A night to remember thanks to the amazing food and service

Excellent all around. The food was inventive, local, and delicious. The outdoor terrace is behind a church and out of site of the street. Very charming. Top service.

Gorgeous restaurant with great food. Wine list is one of the most creative and well-thought out that I’ve seen in Montreal. Definitely worth the pairing menu.

Bread: 10/10; wine: 8.5/10 (4 out of 6 wines were extraordinary, one was just decent, one was ok); kohlrabi entree: 9/10; tomato soup: 5/10; halibut plat: 8/10; cru berger fromage: 11/10; maple ice cream: 10/10.

Super lovely team with so many attentive servers and chefs.
