The food is very good, but make sure you eat before you go.
We tried the fixed menu for the “Montréal à Table” event, and the portions were tiny while the service was extremely slow.
We finished dinner, paid $85 per person (without ordering any drinks), and went straight to La Banquise afterwards.
Globally very deceiving.

Delicious, great-tasting wines in the tasting menu, and what delightful medley of notes and ingredients in desserts and wines.

Food was okay. Price to quality and creativity ratio is lacking. Was probably much better when it first opened but has since lost it's lustre. Unfortunate. Price is around 120$-140$ per person for three services and some drinks.

Came for MTL á Table promotion - a wonderful evening! This was high level cooking in a style I didn`t know, sub-Saharan African specialties and inspiration. The servers were warm, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. The atmosphere was cozy but not cramped with music that was not too loud and convivial. And the food was great - every dish came out perfectly, beautifully presented, delicious even though it was unfamiliar (part of the appeal). From the dual eggplant with watercress foam stew appetizer through the cooked banana with light chocolate and biscuit dessert, all was done to perfection. My main course (Palette of Bon Bœuf low-temperature beef, lacquered with tomato juice flavoured with curry and turmeric, butternut squash purée, potato cromesquis, marinated zucchini roll) was amazingly tender and delicious. Artful and satisfying, we will be back! An additional thanks for using warm serving plates, which kept the delicious hot food warm without rushing through it! It`s a sign of a good restaurant that knows what it`s doing. Highly recommended!

Great food and great atmosphere. The staff was very nice, unfortunately the service was a bit slow, it might have been simply a one off night.

Stopped in here by chance, and so happy we did on our first night in Montreal. Every bite was incredible. The food took a fair while to come out, but it was worth it when it did. Highly recommend the Duck breast dish and the Rainbow Trout dish!

An incredible experience! A taste journey from start to finish ? everything was perfect. The table d’hôte menu is a must if you want to taste several dishes without sharing ??.
