    a group of people sitting in a restaurant
    Nancy H.

    Sort of hidden jazz bar that's a lot of fun to go to. Can't speak for the food (it looked pricey, and we weren't that hungry), but the vibe was amazing. The lighting is very dim and the seats aren't super comfortable and the tables are small, but it's all part of the atmosphere! Drinks were reasonably priced. The place was so busy the night we went. The live music is great - the performers are so talented and you can really feel their passion as they sing and play. I'm personally not a jazz connaisseur, but I really enjoyed myself! Even if you aren't a very musical person you can admire the sheer talent of the performers. The music wasn't too loud, so no need to fear eardrum damage. this is jazz without all the pretentiousness - just go, have a drink or too, and vibe along!

    Such a hidden gem in Montreal. Seriously - blink and you might miss it! While Diese Onze is on a bustling strip with lots of bars and restaurants it's easy to overlook this small hole in the wall jazz bar. On a frigid winter night this was the perfect date night activity for some post-dinner fun. And, it didn't hurt that we got to see some of the best live jazz that we've ever seen. The band played for hours which made this experience very worth the 8 dollar cover charge. If you are looking for more than just a post-dinner activity you can also dine here - they offer a full menu. Instead, we just opted for drinks. There are a bunch of interesting sounding cocktails and I ended up going with a rose mojito (YES, this exists!) which was refreshing and delicious. Cocktails are around 10-12 dollars. Next time I find myself in Montreal I definitely plan to hit Diese Onze again for some live jazz and fun vibes. I have a feeling that this is a memory that my fiance and I will look back on for years to come!

    Menu - risotto!

    1,000th review and it's a 5 star review for a special place! I was in Montréal on business and stayed for a few extra days to check out the city (and what a great city it is, but that's another review). The bartender in the hotel I was staying asked me if I liked jazz..."Uh, sure" was my reply not really knowing whether or not I really liked jazz. "You have to check out Diese Onze," was his response (I had to have him write it down as I couldn't figure out what he was saying with his real French accent - he was indeed from France.) After pondering my evening plans over a beer, I decided not to be lazy and just walk around the corner for dinner, so I hailed an Uber and headed across town to Diese Onze. As I arrived, I hopped out of the car and looked around...where is it? Ah, down the steps into a below grade, cozy and quaint haunt. I arrived early, so there were plenty of tables and room at the bar in front of the barely raised staged. As the music started, I became enchanted with the place. The music filled the low-ceiling space and was amazing. Sitting at the bar, I struck up a conversation with a mostly French-speaking older couple who lived a few hours outside of Montreal. They told me Diese Onze was one of their favorite places to visit while in town - I was quickly understanding why. Eventually, I decided to order dinner at the bar - in my terrible French and even worse comprehension, I awkwardly ordered mushroom risotto. Oh my, it was heavenly! Upon, finishing my meal, I was so in love with the place - the vibe, the music, the people and the food - I decided to walk back to my hotel in the light/moderate rain reflecting on what I had just experienced (it was about a :50 minute walk and it was lovely.) Diese Onze, you were the highlight of my trip to Montreal! And thank you Mr. Bartender for the recommendation - and yes, I like jazz. On a final note, please be generous when they pass around the tip hat for the musicians - they're worth it! I hope I can make it back to Diese Onze one of these days, it was spectacular - 5 stars!

    Be sure to make a reservation if there's something you'd like to see. We came to hear the Jean-Michel Pilc Quartet with Kevin Dean on trumpet. The music was excellent. We ordered burgers which were nicely prepared and delicious. They have a varied selection of wine with a very knowledgeable waiter. I thought the $15 cover charge was reasonable. We would return!

    I wasn't sure about this place but glad we went eventually. Great drinks and food (go for the cheese cake!!!) and wonderful vibe! We've been there on a jam night (after a short show by a band) and it was magical. It is recommended to make a reservation when there is a show and to contribute a "tip" to the band if it's not a weekend with an admission fee.

    I had the pleasure of performing at Dièse Onze during Nuit Blanche. It`s a hidden treasure. Artists like Regimental Oneton blasted us awake with his slam drill - felt like a vibrator from King King and Susan Shulman spoke of love and sweet nothings and something about mermaids. Then there was The Apostle who ranted like a preacher on fire. I gave in by sharing my secret garden and took off the vines...not like covered up Adam & Eve. Frederic Alarie Trio performed and with it`s low ceilings, smokey mirrors and stucco and bricks...it brought me back to the speakeasy bars in lower Manhattan during my twenties. But from stories told by legendary Vic Vogel ( I toured with him in my younger years)...this basement surely has memories of the Montreal underground music scene. The tapas menu is comfort food with a twist of nouveau cuisine. While I performed as Host of the 10 HOURS FOR A SPOKEN WORLD Poetry-Slam-Spoken Word event ( the only one with the word PASTA) With the stamp of approval of multilingual Montréalaisers, I couldn`t help but dream of returning to this stage and spreading my secret garden all over the bar... A great place to snuggle close to your lover listening to live jazz and soul music. I`ll meet you there at 11:00PM.

    Intimate seating and sexy lighting... fantastic live music... a host who helps you find seating by artfully rearranging other patrons and a cover of only $6. So what if my scotch pour was a tad stingy - this place has it all!! This is the perfect locale for a nightcap post dinner at L'Express (easy walk, even in heels and in 5degree F weather!) or to round off a hot first date. I highly recommend checking it out - only don't tell anyone else, or next time I'm in Montreal there may be no room for me!

    Half the band was from Los Angeles , the pianist was local and their chemistry was perfect.

    The one time I would say "I highly recommend this place"…read more Without a single reservation. There are two dining options; an inner courtyard to dine, with that outdoor feeling, where the live music is heard, and a sidewalk cafe venue. Live piano combo music. They segue from one song to the next, seamlessly. You know, this isn't their "first rodeo". The menu has in alphabetical order: American, Canadian, French, Hawaiian, Italian, and Tex-Mex. It may sound impossible to accomplish in one kitchen, but they've done it exceptionally well! We tried three of 6. Each of us was very happy. The servers have mastered Continental service, it's a pleasure to dine there. We inquired how large the small pitcher of sangria was? Enough for two people? She said it would give us about two glasses a piece. Perfect. It wasn't all fruit or cheap wine. If we lived in the neighborhood, we'd be there a few times a month until we tried everything on the menu; then start all over again! It has a certain romantic atmosphere to it; it's also an excellent value compared to some of the places we ate. That is how impressed we were. The food is superb, just enough so there's room for dessert and coffee if you like. One minor complaint: washrooms in most restaurants are either 40 feet above the main floor or below it. =(

    Good service and good food. Beautiful patio area in the back. Live music. French onion soup was…read morevery good. Espresso martini was fair.
