We started off with escargots and it was the best ever tasted. We intend to return when we are in the city again. Million percent awesome place to dine at.“

“Excellent service, plats délicieux. Musique un peu trop forte.“

“Amazing experience! Mike took great care of us and the service was excellent from start to finish. I had the mushroom gnocchi and my mom had the Vitello Parmigiana, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The Vitello was especially incredible.

We also had the cheesecake for dessert, and it was so creamy and delicious. The only thing I’d mention is that it would have been even better if it had been served a little colder.

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“I come here for breakfast and lunch. The staff is always amazing and they make great coffee! Usually if you order just drinks (coffee) they take orders in a separate line which speeds things up.
During lunch hours it's usually quite busy but the wait is well worth it!“

“We love eating here! Great casalinga food!“

“WHO MADE THIS!!! Guys I am not kidding, this is the best restaurant in Montreal and its surroundings. The wings are simply life changing, the nachos are like anything you’ve seen before and special mention to the pizza (best crust and freshest ingredients). I also have to talk about the drinks. They are just so good especially the strawberry daiquiri (made with fresh strawberries). If you don’t come here, I swear you are missing out on the best meal of your life.“

“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.“

“Went to try their mid-week table d'hôte spécial and was not disappointed.

Focaccia was light.

Beet salad and arancini were very good. The calamari was excellent. Salads all dressed very nicely.

Braised beef was tender. The vodka pasta was exceptional. Very rich.

I generally don't care for chicken parm, but this one was spectacular.

Capped it off with a super light and smooth tiramisu. Divine.

Will definitely be back.“

“Le scotch à $21 pour 3/4 once très dispendieux“

“Nice place to visit for italian people and for the pizza and pasta lovers also can visit here the food is amazing and the atmosphere is also the staff is very friendly“

“la nourriture etait excellente“

“Un immense merci à Martin et toute son équipe pour le service exceptionnel lors des 60 ans de notre mère. Servir 75 personnes en même temps, ce n’est pas une mince affaire — et vous avez relevé le défi haut la main ! Dès la première rencontre avec Martin pour planifier la soirée, tout a été A1 : à l’écoute, de bons conseils, et toujours soucieux que tout le monde soit satisfait. Le choix du menu était excellent, et en plus, on a mangé chaud… wow, merci ! Les serveurs ont été d’une gentillesse remarquable. Le fait que les enfants soient servis en premier, j’ai trouvé ça vraiment attentionné. Demain matin, je recommencerais sans hésiter. Bravo et encore merci !“

“Les pâtes sont excellentes. Jamais mangé des pâtes Arrabiata aussi bonnes, elles sont parfaites. Carbonara, Gigi, Bolognese, très bonnes aussi. Salade César excellente, bâtonnets de fromage très bons. Et on apporte son vin en plus, quoi demandé de mieux 🥰“

“We celebrated a special event at Donato's on a regular Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We had an exquisite and memorable experience. The table d'hote had so many offerings at unbeatable prices. Every dish was served to perfection and our party of 4 agreed that there was nothing missing or lacking from this experience. Many thanks Tony for offering champagne on the house as we celebrated our daughter's graduation from Concordia. We WILL be back!“

“Best pizza ever!!!! The service is excellent TOO!! It's a keeper for sure“

“Excellent expérience samedi dernier au Barbara! Un gros wow ! Bouffe impeccable et le service Avec Dominick parfait!“

“I've been ordering from this place since I was a broke student at 19. I'm now 38 and I still order from here. Probably the best pizza sauce I've had in Montreal. Make sure to order a large or bigger for the perfect crust ratio.“

“This pizzeria serves up some of the best pizza in vicinity . The crust is perfectly crisp , the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the fresh toppings I tried the classic pepperoni
and it was absolute perfection. Friendly service and a warm, welcoming vibe make it even better.“

“5 ☆ le service , la nourriture est plus que parfait !!!“

“We were a group of 12 celebrating my son’s thesis defense. Il Cortile checked off all the boxes and more! Food was impeccable (we’re Italian, so expectations were high!), service of very high calibre (thank you Francis) and overall experience in the courtyard unforgettable. This is a gem of a restaurant that I highly recommend.“

“Vago never disappoints! Go-to restaurant in Westmount. Always accommodating, excellent service, and great food! Let’s not forget one of the owners, Tommaso, is 10/10! I’ve brought many friends there and it’s nothing but good times! Highly recommend!“

“Yummy food, reasonable price and fast!! In a hurry for lunch?“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best sub in town hands down!“

“I had another amazing meal at La Piazzetta Candiac! I ordered the escargots gratinés with camembert and the sausage and prosciutto roll — both were absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly, and our server was always smiling and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, which makes it such a comfortable place to enjoy a great meal. I go there regularly, and the food and service are always excellent.“

“Spices on point! Ordered the Makloub with chicken tandoori! The cashier was so kind and gave me some great suggestions. Highly you try their specialties cuz the spices are so nice and different. The bread is legit a small size pizza and tastes to good like a well cooked pizza crust. First time there would most likely go back to try other items on their menu.“

“Came into town late last night after a flight delay from Chicago. Tired and hungry we walked around the corner from our hotel and found this Oasis (came in near closing time). The staff was super friendly and helpful, the Caesar salad was epic (fresh and perfectly dressed), the Pizza was formidable (delish, top rate, perfection), our server was very kind (patient and sweet) and the atmosphere was energetic and welcoming.

The perfect first impression of Montreal.

We are returning again tonight.“

“Excellent food and service. The ministrone was excellent as was the beet salad. And the risotto was out of this world. I would get it again in a heartbeat. The service was attentive but not in our face. Never felt rushed. Good choice for dining.“

“2025.12.03: I am so grateful to Shanjida and her team. They make ordering lunch for a very large group super easy. And of course, there are always options for any restrictions. It's very reassuring to have reliable and consistently great service these days. HUGE thanks!

*UPDATE 2025.12.03: Strange. The first time I needed assistance to place a large order for a group of 40, I had plenty of help but not today. I was not-so-gently redirected to place the order online - the incentive being there are no discounts or deals when you call and online costs $70 less!
But now my card is not going through (not a MC issue/they confirmed all was fine) and I can't place the order. So what now?
There is no help online. No customer service hotline that can assist. I need to wait for the store to open at 11 am but that will be very lasty-minute for such a large order.
I guess that's what happens when corporations cut back to make more profit - the customer winds up floundering.
I guess I'm back to finding alternatives for the group lunch. What a shame.“

“Over the past many years since their doors opened. I have had nothing less of the finest, tantalizingly delicious food I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy throughout my life. Having traveled Europe multiple times and sampled some of the finest cuisines throughout. This restaurant stands with the best of them and even above some. The care taken in the preparation and presentation of theit dishes is top tier and that's putting it in short form. Now the service and staff. The level of professionalism and dedication in their staff is unmatched in my opinion. I have never once been not wowed by their attentiveness and warm compassionate energy. Even those I have had the chance to treat them to an incredible evening there have been awe struck. I offer my sincere and honest thanks to all the kitchen staff for their unwavering commitment and dedication to their trade. Not to forget now the unmatched waitstaff who I have had the opportunity and gift to meet and be served by. An unparalleled service and experience from every single one of them. I plan on going back in the coming weeks with a very special someone who has not had the opportunity to be wowed by you and I can't wait for that day to come. Thank you and see you soon!

Sincerely: Nicholas McGovern.“
