Everything was SUPERB. From the service, to the unique wine list and the food was out of this world. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. I liked that there’s vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian friendly options. If you’re thinking of going this is your sign.

You might walk in and think, what is this place. But I assure you, it is a well kept secret. From a cool vibe to an expertly crafter service, genuine and cool and nice to a cuisine that is not afraid to surprise you, everything in this place is perfection. And it will make you want to come back again and again.

Went there for the bao buns and matcha pop up, drinks were amazing and so was the food ! Super flavorful and unique. Service was as fast as can be during a pop up, limited seating but we really enjoyed the vibe.

Pork Echine, Garlic Scapes, Olives, Chamomile, Japanese Whiskey Tare 🐷❤️🥃
I have to honestly say that @cafedenise is probably one of my favorite experiences I have had in 2025 so far. If you can go there and eat modestly it won't be too expensive but to be honest with you the portions are a little bit small but flavor packed. I wish they were a little bit larger but otherwise amazing.
It's Tapas style dishes meaning they're really meant to share and each one that we had was better than the next . For me the star of the show was the pork, a absolutely flavor sensation the whiskey you taste that tare gives a #umami bomb everything extremely well balanced.
We got other star dishes like there halibut Crudo with passion fruit there Caesar salad that had fresh anchovies marinated accompanied with Nordic shrimp, this Buratta dish that honestly left me pretty speechless I've never had a dish prepared this way with Beretta and honestly 11 out of 10! Everything just kept getting better and better and better even the end of the meal where we had their Basque cheesecake with Thai tea and dolce de leche was FOODGASMIC 🙌.
It's hard to kind of pinpoint the exact Style of food but you can clearly see that they take elements from Japan, elements from Thailand as well as French cooking techniques it's really a spectrum of everything but if I had to guess their influence is more in the Asian sector but fine dining flare! I've been twice so far in a 3 week span and I'm definitely going to come back again!
The Two Chefs in the kitchen both own the restaurant and so far are absolutely killing it great job guys!

A truly beautiful meal - every dish was decadent and layered with flavor, pairing unique ingredients together. I am celiac and they were very accommodating with gluten free options! Wine was also delicious and servers were very cute!

Me and my roomate have come last thursday for her birthday, and what more can I say other than wow! The food was out of this world : could feel the love, the care, behind every plate. We also got to interact with the owners, and they are lovely people. Me and her had an amazing time there, we are definitely planning on coming back again.

Denise is by far one of the best restaurant in Montreal. Cocktails are fire. Wine list great. Food is inventive, affordable and on point ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been to Denise many times and every dish has been incredible
This small, cozy gem never fails to impress. The warm ambiance and intimate setting make every visit feel special. The crudo is an outstanding dish. The service is impeccable, Daphnée our server tonight was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable. The kindness and passion of the cooks shine through in every dish. A must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Montreal!

Small little restaurant with fantastic service staff. Very attentive and kind service. Food was fast to come out and each dish was beautiful, harmonious but also packed a punch. One of the best meals I've had in a while. A number of completely unexpected flavour combinations I wish I'd thought of myself.

Awesome spot! Went for a chill birthday dinner and the food and service was great, skilled and friendly team. Highlights were the Bao and Leek dish for sure!
