    excellent service, excellent wine recommendation, soupe du jour was awesome and all four dishes were excellent according to my other 3 guests. The only thing was that my Mille-Feuilles was different but still very good. Also I would expect a different kind of music for a Brasserie Francaise, seemed a bit loud at first in the lounge right by the DG but not so much once we sat down at our designated table.

    Came here for an anniversary dinner while celebrating in Montreal - our server was exceptional and very patient with the language difference, and actually went out of their way to provide service in English. Food was exceptional, we enjoyed both of our entrees. A cappuccino to end the dinner was perfect. We expected there to be live music, but we didn’t look into it too far and realized too late that the performers came on an hour into our reservation. We stayed for a bit savoring the coffee to hear the music, which was phenomenal. Pricy, but worth it for our two years.

    The table d’hôte is the way to go, the braised beef and Wellington are great. The ambience and restaurant are very cute and the food is very fresh since it’s all locally sourced. Great place for an intimate dinner or small group of friends.:)
