The menu is sharing plates, with oysters, calamari and black cod among the most mentioned, plus cocktails and a long wine list. It is a mainstream restaurant, listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue.

My best culinary experience in Quebec. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere where you immediately feel at ease. Delicious cocktails to start, followed by a succession of increasingly refined dishes—a truly wonderful culinary journey. We ordered five and a half main courses and two desserts and were completely satisfied. They took our allergies into account and explained the gluten-free options. A real effort was made. In short, a huge favorite!

Come as you are as this place is not pretentious but the food is top notch! We had calamari, beef tartare, focaccia, lamb, black cod, and mushrooms and it was all amazing. The sauces were unique and we soaked up every last bit of it! Top that off with a bottle of Chardonnay and the evening was complete. Although not inexpensive, I thought it was well priced for the food quality and quantity. We will be back next time we’re in Montreal for sure.

Every bite here is just a bomb of flavor and comfort. Really really good. Like, spooning up the remaining sauce on our plates and ripping the head off the fish carcass to dig out more bits. Hands down THE best meals we had while in Montreal. (I came several times and often after leaving more expensive less satisfying restaurants) And that's before getting to the stellar wine/drink menu, replete with GOOD non alcoholic options. Wonderful curation of nerdy, interesting and TASTY wines. Special shoutout to our phenomenal dreadlocked server who had a way of explaining the food/menu/drinks and checking in that didn't feel overbearing, too wordy, or awkward... just kind and attentive. Recommended: cod croquette, broccoli and spatzle, whole fried fish, and the miso black food

Overpriced and tiny portions. I honestly wish I could get my 24$ back for that pathetic excuse of a “salmon” main dish, which consisted of a tiny plate of hard cubes of either salmon or tuna. The table couldn’t even believe this was a main. I feel scammed.

We had 7 or 8 sharing plates between the four us and every dish was just delicious. The wine list is extensive and the two bottles we had were very very good. The vibe is amazing and our server was just so good. Very much worth a visit.
