We had dinner at this place tonight because it’s highly recommended by a coworker who has stayed at the hotel and had breakfast. The pictures posted by others look nice and exquisite so I would like to try while visiting Montreal but the food is quite disappointing and below my expectation.
Complimentary bread - cold and hard / tough to chew on.
Appetizer - we had a vegetable dish which is eggplant. The sauce is very sweet plus a bit sour. It’s not a good taste for eggplant in my opinion so we have leftovers when the portion is already small. Another dish we had is grilled oyster covered by cheese. Got to say it’s the smallest oyster I have ever had, like a clam sized. It tastes better than the eggplant but nothing special.
Main - the veal is ok, very tender but portion is too small. There’s vegetable sides but only one slice of black mushroom, one cauliflower, one tiny radish, you could imagine. The halibut is steamed and has a bad fishy smell and doesn’t taste good. It’s as plain as water. I don’t think it’s fresh “catch of the day” as indicated by menu. There’re 4 small mussels that taste better. Underneath the fish is a layer of stir-fried pepper slices in tomato sauce. They’re editable but usually are leftovers in other dishes from other restaurants while here it’s playing a main role which makes you wonder what you’re paying 40-50 for.
Dessert - the only highlight of the meal that exceeded expectation. Not too sweet, has strawberry sauce to provide a bit sour flavor to balance the hazelnut ice-cream and coffee moose. Very delicious, and why I gave two star for.
Service - the restaurant is not busy when we dined in and there’re several empty tables in our area. Maybe that’s the reason our waitress is constantly disappearing and make us wait for more than 10 mins after dessert just to collect the check. We waited and waited but no one is showing up so we have to find other people to reach out to the waitress to pay the bill. When she finally showed up she went to other tables to attend to customers before getting our check. Overall not good service in my opinion.
This restaurant is highly rated and had many praises from other people. I was drawn in by that and plan to take pictures for the dishes to post on social media but end up not taking anything because the presentation of the food is nothing but ordinary. I don’t know if I ordered the wrong dish but that’s just what I got and there’s not many choices on the menu. Sharing this review based on my experience to provide another point of view.

The food was the best during our 4 days in Montreal. It beats other high end restaurants that we had tried. It offers Good value & service for quality cuisine in a very nice setting. We would highly recommend it.

The cocktail tasted like cranberry juice. Wine and cheese were amazing. Appetizers (mushroom cavatelli and tomatoes) were fantastic as well as the tomato gazpacho with shrimp and bread.
The entrees were severely disappointing! Halibut was nice quality but the dish in general was nothing I would brag about. The guinea fowl was not desirable and we left half of the dish. Dessert was forgettable. Such a shame to spend $ for disappointment.
All presentations were excellent.
Service was absolutely perfect.

Got the tasting menu, portion was so small and I have to eat out at another place after this.
The food is consistently 7.0/10, nothing to bring home. But for the price of $95 before tax. That’s a yikes
I love supporting restaurants that are part of a school. Students need to learn first hand.
ITHQ has a nice location and staff was very welcoming.
The magret de canard was what you would expect of the dish. We had turbot with couscous and strawberries, which I found a bit too sofistaced. I think that real talent shows when you can work with a limited number of ingredients.
All in all a nice experience.

This restaurant is a part of ITHQ. Some servers are students and still learning, hence quality of service depends on the server. Regardless, very nice overall dining experience with tasty dishes and nice atmosphere.
