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 ??.
We have been 3 times so far and are still very satisfied. The dishes are tasty and the ingredients are quality (mostly from local sources). The wine list is interesting and for all tastes. It's also worth starting with one of their signature cocktails which have never disappointed us until now. The service is also excellent and personalized. We also appreciate the atmosphere. The music is not too loud which allows us to hear each other speak. Note that the dishes are not spicy for those who might be concerned!
Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option but excellent!
Dietary restrictions: Find out in advance if you have a nut allergy.

Nice place, the food is good, the tapas concept is good, but honestly, it's not worth the price paid! The dishes are tiny, but the prices are extremely expensive! You would more expect to pay a full plate for this price. Pleasant experience, but I won't return.

Superb little family restaurant! The atmosphere is chic and cozy and the dishes are delicious! The chef succeeded in taking us on a culinary journey where African and Quebec flavors meet!
