We loved the relaxed European-style, and every dish was interesting and delicious: the veal with gnocchi, the scallops with sausage and risotto, the pannacotta, and certainly the piadone (Corsican cheesecake)

Fantastic food and wonderful staff! Chef Catherine's special of the day was one of the best dishes any of us had ever tasted. I think it was called agnoloti or something like that. The charcuterie board was delicious and wonderfully presented. Our waiter Thomas was so friendly and shared great recommendations for Corsican cocktails and dessert. The vibe of the restaurant is nice but fun, not stuffy. Would make a trip back to Montreal to eat here again.

Services are great, very friendly people. Food is nice and quite local french style. Price is good. Restaurant has a nice setup, good atmosphere.

Everything tastes above and beyond expectations, great in all means: flavor texture, presentation, and service speed! It is amazing how they make usual ingredients so unusually flavorful without indulging in fats! Some combinations are also fresh to me but go really well: strawberries in bruschetta and olive with veal. The environment is very nice and service is warm.

Loved everything about this restaurant: great service, ambiance, drinks, and food. WOW, 10/10 highly recommended

I think this may be one of the best brunch places I’ve tried in Montreal. We had the mushroom eggs benedict raclette, which they subbed the meat for us to make vegetarian. Everything was super delicious and we’ll definitely come back to try the dinner menu!

Excellent atmosphere, service and food. This cozy restaurant is perfect for a first date, a reunion with friends or a work dinner. Chloe will advise you on the best wine to fit your tastes from their long wine list. Laura will prepare you the most delicious dishes that will melt in your mouth (the scallops are a must-try). You won't want to leave before trying a dessert, and you can't go wrong with the chocolate and hazelnut cake. It's also a great place to sit at the bar and chat with the friendly staff.

Great food and ambiance. A touch of romance added courtesy of a live singer on an acoustic guitar. Beware the portions are large but succulence is the only term than can be used to describe the unique blends of flavors you will experience.
