As you arrive, you notice the vintage handrail with lions as supports. You are set for a good start. Once you arrive upstairs, it's crowded with people of all styles, the atmosphere is festive. We also notice all the ingredients in lacto-fermentation near the entrance. We tried the famous fermented fries and it's really a brilliant and delicious idea. All this accompanied by several good beers including their famous Kolsch! I will have to go back to experience their famous terrace

Loads of fun sharing plates at this bump’in mecca for tapas-style dishes reflecting the best of Montreal’s Chinatown fusion. Great drinks, packed house, dark atmosphere, zesty flavors. Fermentation a hit, so was vindaloo. The Small tables beckon conversation despite the loud din humming. Pleasant spot to observe the Laurent night surge. Ready to return.

The server asked us what we wanted and then neglected us for 30 minutes after we decided. There was some miscommunication, and they brought us a dessert we didn’t order, and then didn’t take it off the bill. It might’ve been too busy for the number of servers. The fermented fries were not very good, over cooked, and the sourness did not add to fries. Pork was decent. Wine was decent. More concept than follow through. Nice place to sit, albeit loud. Vegetable options are a complete afterthought.

Food was closed because it was too late, but will definitely come back for it. Kölsh beer is a specialty, and served

Went there for dinner. Their wine selection was nice but their food was meh. The Charcuterie platter and the fermented vegetable platter looked like something a 20 year old would have served in their bachelor pad. We went and got sushi after leaving this place.

Small bar hidden in the middle of Chinatown. I like to go there with colleagues from time to time.The atmosphere is calmer than the trendy bars in the city center.The selection of drinks on the menu has never disappointed me.One of my favorite bats in Montreal!

Service was great though I wish they better marked vegan options. Service was very friendly and quick. Great delicious variety of cocktails, and lots of funky fermented food!Fun place to hangout after work with friends or coworkers, though I really wish the music was a bit lower, it was kinda hard to have a conversation. (I never understand why places like this crank it up so high, don't people come here to talk?)

We didn't taste the dishes but the cocktails were not to our taste. It smells like toilets on the stairs and then fried chicken in the bar. It's a shame. The place is nice, good atmosphere, the service is good. If you are in Chinatown on a Saturday evening you will find space in this bar which is very nice.

Nothing special about this place. Much more nicer place around. Watered down cocktails and average setting

Choice place in Chinatown for aperitifs and snacks, both in summer on their pretty roof terrace and in winter inside in their very comfortable room.There are always good choices by the glass, for example Auval on tap or Bergeville bubbles.Plus, the prices are reasonable! In short, go for it!
