“Un chef attentionné, des mets savoureux et original et des pâtes à la perfection“

“A wonderful dining experience. Food, service and ambiance. Nora Gray delivers 😍“

“The food here was truly amazing. We had the raw halibut which was similar to a ceviche, the muscles with the salsa which were my favourite, pork and beef skewers, as well as three different salads, the green mint bean salad, the salad with mixed greens, as well as the zucchini salad. We also had the grilled arctic char and the lobster risotto. The risotto portion, I expected to be larger esp as a main, but with all the food we had, we were full.“

“Bon, beau, service impec!“

“Food was excellent and service was very good.“

“Un chef attentionné, des mets savoureux et original et des pâtes à la perfection“

“The best experience since Italy. Amazing high quality food and top notch service.“

“WoW! Meilleur resto en ville 👍 service et nourriture A1“

“There are Time Out Markets around the world, mainly in North America and Europe, and the Montreal location is no exception—it’s excellent. You’ll find a wide variety of restaurants and food types to choose from, all in a food-court style setting. The atmosphere is lively, and there are also bars serving drinks and cocktails.
Beyond the food, the market often hosts special events and guest chefs, so you can enjoy unique culinary experiences. Overall, a great spot for food lovers with plenty of options under one roof.

Do keep in mind that since it’s located downtown Montreal, parking can be a challenge. The easiest option is to use the indoor parking at the mall or other lots nearby, though some are less convenient.“

“Un des best resto italiens à Montréal“

“Absolutely loved my experience at La Spada! The food was authentic and full of flavour — every dish tasted freshly made with high-quality ingredients. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion. The highlight of the evening was definitely the tiramisu — hands down the best I’ve ever had! Light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend La Spada for anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Great price for the amount of food given 5.00$. Wow 😮“

“Excellent repas, service impeccable avec le sourire. Je recommande“

“This place is EXACTLY what we hope look for when we’re on vacation: A casual, non-pretentious place with food that is absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the charcuterie Panino and my wife had a Porchetta panino. Both were literally the best paninis we’ve had in North America and much of Italy. They both featured a special “relish” (for lack of a better word) that was a mix of lettuce, peppers pearl onions and exquisite seasoning. I wish I could have that on every sandwich I eat - forever! The mixtures is both exceptionally tasty and a bit spicy. When I took my first bite it was like a party in my mouth! I knew almost immediately that it was one of the best sandwiches that I’d ever had. Then my wife gave me a bite of her porchetta panino and THAT was even better. The seasoning on that pork just exploded my taste buds… and I’m not even a big fan of pork. One of the keys to the greatness of these sandwiches is the amazing bread. It has a perfect combination of a delicious, delicate center with a perfect, gourmet-crunchy crust. Not too hard or thick, but just right for marrying with the perfection of the ingredients.
Not to be outdone were the staff! They were all every bit as wonderful as the food, and so welcoming and helpful. My wife and I truly can’t recommend the Parma Café enough. They served us a meal that we kept reflecting on with great fondness the rest of our trip. In fact, there is a very famous deli in Montreal called Schwartz’s which is known around the world for its amazing sandwiches. We ate there the day before and it was, indeed, good , but if I had to choose between the two, I’d eat at Parma Café hands down every time. Enjoy.“

“Glad to see this place is still opened from the original launch. Their pizza dough is awesome. Light and just right. The four cheese either red or white is amazing. One of my favourites. So simple but also not really simple. Iykyk. So good.“

“If you want fresh pasta, pizza and Italian food just the way mama used to make, then this is the place for you! They also have an awesome selection of imported wines which go amazingly well with every meal. I love this place, and the owners & staff are super cool too….“

“Un plaisir un délice !!! Branzino était fantastique“

“We were in town for a convention and stopped here for breakfast twice the pricing is great, the food is delicious and the coffee was delicious! Really nothing bad to say just a great spot for breakfast I got the BLT one day and the steak and eggs another day with a hash brown. Both delicious! Would love to come back go try other things on the menu or at lunch (the Italian sandwiches look amazing“

“VIA Restaurant is truly a standout. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a cozy setting that immediately puts you at ease.

The cuisine at VIA Restaurant is exceptional, each plate is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with vibrant flavors. The menu features an extensive selection of Italian dishes, offering a fantastic variety to choose from, and every dish we sampled was an absolute delight.

What really makes VIA Restaurant special is the dedication and warmth. Their genuine hospitality and attention to every detail make you feel like a valued guest. It’s clear that they are passionate about creating a memorable dining experience for everyone who walks through the door.

It’s a place you’ll want to return to time and time again. Highly recommended!“

“Montréal à table à la Terasse du W Un mousseux "Crément d'alsace" pour accompagner mes "Crevettes et sorbet au cari": Crevettes marinées et grillées façon thaï (5), sorbet cari coco, lime, coriandre. Mon appréciation: crevette sucrée et piquante adouci par le sorbet rafraîchissant et gouteux, un délice. Un vin blanc "Sancerre" avec Tostadas à la pieuvre grillée (3) Pico de gallo, crème d’avocats, oignons marinés à l’hibiscus, piment chili, laitue et tomates. Mon appréciation: la pieuvre d'une belle tendretée, le tout excellent avec l'ajout de jus de lime. Sans la lime, on goûte bien l'oignon qui est sucré. Panna cotta au chocolat et au rhum Mousse de litchi: on goûte le amer du chocolat, le sucrée de la mousse de litchie équilibre l'assiette pour la gardée fraîche en bouche. Les boules croustillantes ajoute de la texture au plat. Excusez ma fin de rhume pour ne pas avoir goûté au rhum. Ambiance musical style lounge avec une touche qui donne envie de danser aux gens comme moi qui ont le beat dans le sang. Et que dire du service, ils m'ont mise à l'aise toute suite, moi qui va au restaurant seule, je me sentais comme une reine. J'ai pu goûter à different vin pour choisir celui qui me plaît. C'est agréable d'être certain de boire ce qu'on apprécie. Parfois, la barmaid savait plus que moi si j'appréciais le vin. Merci de m'avoir permis d'en goûter un autre.“

“Samedi le 5 octobre 2024, repas avec un groupe de 6 personnes. Excellente pizza, mais pour le pain offert en apéritif le serveur nous avise qu’il est impossible d’avoir du beurre ou de l’huile d’olives car la propriétaire trouve que cela coûte trop chère pour son restaurant…😩😩😩désolant“

“J'ai passé de merveilleux moments au Huis Clos !
L'équipe est vraiment sympathique et à l'écoute. Le service est rapide et les cocktails sont délicieux et super beaux. Ils ont même des options sans alcool pour satisfaire tout le monde.

La cuisine y est délicieuse et magnifiquement présentée par leurs staff de cuisine qui prennent le temps de soigner nos assiettes. Des options végétariennes sont même disponibles.
J'ai eu un coup de cœur pour leur poêlée de champignons et leurs desserts savoureux.

Je recommande vivement que ce soit pour un groupe ou une personne seule, impossible de s'ennuyer, l'ambiance et le décor sauront vous charmer.
L'essayer c'est l'adopter !

Merci ??“
