    We were there earlier this week for the evening of our special anniversary. It was a complete success. We were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. The Maître d' was extremely friendly and welcoming and had a table beside the fireplace waiting for us. Each member of the serving staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed the full tasting menu with wine pairing. Each dish was prepared to perfection, and each wine pairing was explained and matched perfectly with each course. A fantastic experience from beginning to end. We very highly recommend dining at this beautiful restaurant. Thank you!

    We thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant dinner in this lovely restaurant situated in a hotel near the Basilica of Notre Dame in Old Town. We started with soup - lobster bisque and peas soup. The duck was delicious - beautifully plated and surrounded by a variety of vegetables. Cheesecake and chocolate mousse were lovely light desserts after a pleasant meal. The staff was attentive and welcoming.

    The ambiance was very good and our table was great. Unfortunately the food was below average and our waitress was going through the motions.

    Our food was delicious! We wanted to share the “theater “ menu because we are on vacation and have eaten and drank all day, but it was not allowed. We couldn’t even order one entree’ for one person and an appetizer for the other. This was disappointing. We also ordered a bottle of wine. But the food was really great, as well as the wine.

    One of our favorite restaurants. We eat there every time we are in Montreal which we go to twice a year. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for French cuisine in the city
