Had a good experience dining here with a friend before they got their Michelin star. It was already not easy to get a table back then, but now it is impossible. My friends and I have been trying to book this place over the past 6 months, and we still can't get a table. The booking system is terrible. It feels like you need to be super fast with your clicks or know how to use bots just to have a chance. Or maybe you know the owners so they save you a spot. For people who aren't that quick with computers or maybe older people and don't know technology that well, it's impossible. The food is great, but honestly, it's not worth all the effort of trying to get a reservation anymore. It's a shame because I really enjoyed my previous experience here. I doubt the restaurant will do anything about the booking system since they're always fully booked anyway.

Hi Ms Acker, we are really happy to know you had a great experience dinning at Sabayon a while ago. But, we are sorry to read your message. Yes, we know it's really really hard to get a table, but, we cannot do anything about it. For the last few months, there's around 2500 persons at noon exactly on our website on the first Wednesday of every month. To book a whole month, it's around 100 reservation. Yes, there's more than 2400 real persons every month, on the website exactly at noon that don't succeed to book a table. That's a lot of disappointed customers. The problem is that we don't have any control on the number of people trying to reserve...we consulted many people, trying to find a better option for reservation. But the result will be the same anyway, there won't be more tables... You can be sure that it would be much easier and fun for us if the reservations would take more time to disappear. On the reservation day, we do only that, answer the phone to explain that the reservation site didn't had any bug, reply to emails from customers who are disappointed and trying to understand why people would leave bad reviews on Google for a small business like us, not because they didn't like their meal, but just because they were not able to get a table when there's so many outstanding restaurants in Montreal... Thank you Patrice Demers Chef/co-owner Sabayon

Truly exceptional experience here at sabayon. The friendliest service with extensive knowledge about their products. Every dish felt like a new discovery of flavour combinations while working perfectly every time. Lots of emphasis on local products, even some locally grown citrus! We felt very welcome here and were thoroughly impressed by the precision and thoughtfulness that went into the dishes and the service.

Lovely restaurant. The owners are very nice and friendly. Reservations are mandatory. The tasting menu is very affortable considering the quality of the food. The menu changes every season according to what fruit and vegetable is in season in Quebec. The ingredients are very fresh. The dishes are nicely presented and quite original. The decor is simple and cozy.

This was my 6th Michelin star restaurant in the last 10 days. I could have been saturated or bored. But No. Sabayon delivered a unique repertoire of flavours and textures that clearly distinguish itself from any restaurant. Among the dishes, the amuse-bouche with the mushroom broth, the scallops, maitake, vert 2.0 and chocolate dessert were divine. The setting was very convivial and the service familial. In sum, it was an outstanding experience that needs to be repeated in the near future.
