I went to Pincette for dinner with friends and had a great experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming—especially our server, David. The portions were fair for the price, and the highlights for me were the clam chowder, grilled octopus, and lobster pappardelle.

Extremely disappointing experience. We waited over an hour just to receive our mains, which is unacceptable. Oysters were sold out at 6:45, I understand it was the day after Valentine’s Day, but sold out during early dinner time is unacceptable. The food was even worse. The scallop risotto had fried garlic on top that tasted very bitter and clearly burnt, completely overpowering the dish. It honestly tasted bad enough that it shouldn’t have been served. There’s not even one apology from restaurant. The mussels were overcooked and rubbery, and the fries were soggy and limp. Everything looked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. Long wait, poor quality food, and no attention to detail. Definitely not worth the time or money. Would not return.

Incredible restaurant! I visited from toronto with my gf and we absolutely loved it. Super kind and responsive server and the food was wildly delicious. We ordered the lobster tail and the star of the show the risotto. Food impeccable, wine delicious, and service even better i recommend checking it out

By far my favourite place for fresh oysters in the Vieux-Port area. Impecable service, nice cocktails.

Fantastic brunch in Old Port! Excellent food and portions, very reasonable prices, and such kind staff. Stopped in on a whim while walking on Rue St-Paul and was instantly wowed by the warm ambiance, windows for people watching, and beautiful artwork. Such a great spot for brunch, would love to return for dinner soon!

a good place to dine in old montreal! food and service was good. seafood platter served was delcious and fresh. although the portion couldve been larger. biggest disappointment was the dessert. they only had 3 items and the one we ordered waz thjs deconstructed lemon tart (basically they were too lazy or incapable of making the tart so they called it deconstructed). it was just the cream and the mouse plus some bread crumbs. come for the seafood, skip the dessert.

We stopped there while searching for lobster roll and we were not disappointed. The fried fish wa not impressive and the baba au rhum as well but lobster roll was very good. Portion could be a little bigger as getting a second of thesr would be too much. Nice welcome at the entrance with someone ready to take you to your table. Service was good and friendly and food was delicious. The restaurant is spacious with a lot of tables.

Food was great and the ambiance is really nice. Definitely not where I'd normally go but alas I was glad I did get invited out here. Special shoutout to Zaineb i think it was who made sure everything was perfect.

Stumbled across Pincette while walking around on Christmas Eve. As soon as we entered, Tommy was so welcoming and accommodating! The interior is lovely, the food is excellent and the service is outstanding!!! Tommy and Florence were so lovely and helpful. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!
