I know it’s in a tourist spot but this place is great. We loved the eggplant parm and the SAUCE on it so much we got some extra sauce to take home. The service was nice, the terrace was lovely and the chef even came out to say hi. 5 stars :-)

Our lunch experience here was exceptional. We didn't have to wait for a table, so we were seated immediately. The staff was very friendly. We waited a bit for our food, but it wasn't too long to complain about. We both got the Nomai Sangrias, which were absolutely delicious and refreshing. We ordered a charcuterie plate, which was very refreshing and delicious. We both also got the main dishes of poutine with braised beef, and the spaghetti caprese. The poutine was so savory and salty, the cheese was very light with the beef. The spaghetti was my favorite, seasoned well and the tomatoes and basil were fresh. Every meal here was exceptional and we will be back again soon!

Amazing serviceee!! The food was not bad but honestly what made the whole experience actually good was how this girl took care of us, honestly more places should train their team as they have done with Alejandra, she deserve a raise this month, recommended!! 🌟💃🏻

A pleasure to read such a positive comment ! However i think you meant to put 5 stars, not 1, would appreciate if you could take the time to modify the rating. Thanks again for the kind words and hope to see you again.

First time I've been disappointed at a restaurant in Montreal. I believe it's a tourist trap, given the location. First of all, it took an hour for the waitress to tell us that one of the meals wasn't available. After that, about another hour and a half to receive spaghetti that was just water, and 2 small pieces of lamb that costed 50$ with nothing special in the preparation. The only good things are the tables outside. Never coming back!

The service is very friendly, the fish is so delicious and highly recommended, as are the Gambas which are also very tasty. Chef Emmanuel is very kind.

This was absolutely terrible. We waited for more than an hour, only to be told that our food still had not been prepared and that we could cancel the order if we wanted. As tourists, we placed the order so we could save time and make the most of our travel plans, but instead, it was a complete waste of our time. In the end, we received nothing at all. This was an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience.

Coming from Toronto to this so-called restaurant! Paid 70 CAD for two very, and I mean, very small pieces of lamb chops. Tasting bad (maybe better for pet food) but not a problem. But charging this much for this fully raw “well-done” (yes, paradoxical) piece of food was the single biggest scam I ever went through. Exercise caution when considering here!
