Our waiter, Patrice was amazing!! The ambience in the restaurant was wonderful with all of the old posters of old Parisian publications and productions in theater and art. The food was wonderful. Try the braised lamb poutine! Lamb chops were exquisite.

Super cute cafe! Beautiful decor and ambiance. I would go just to look at the wood work and ceiling lights lol. We ordered avocado toast which was really good and had a latte and London fog which were very tasty. Would recommend this cafe!

The menu is nicely presented with very interesting choices. The food quality and presentation are at par with many Montreal finer dining establishments while the service was exceptional; Claude provided expertise and attention throughout. I recommend, especially if going to a show.

    I never post reviews, but this one merits one. I went for a birthday dinner for my significant other and I was pleasantly surprised. Ambiance was lovely with live jazz on the second floor, Food was out of this world (both of us ordered the filet mignon plate), our waiter always made sure we had what we needed at when he brought the birthday dessert on the house, he even complimented it with an apperitive on him. The plate was large enough to fill us both up without an appetizer. A real 10 on 10 experience for us both.
