Le Violon absolutely lived up to the hype…read more Everything I had was superb. Started with the warm Pullman buns and Green Goddess butter, dangerously good and a great indication of what was to come. The squid with beans was beautifully cooked, tender, lightly charred and full of flavour, with the beans and sauce making it a surprisingly rich and satisfying dish. The guinea fowl with peppers, anchovy and aïoli was another standout: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and incredibly well balanced. Finished with the tahini gelato with Concord grapes and saba, which was fantastic. Creamy, nutty, fruity and just unusual enough to make it memorable, a perfect ending. Service was excellent throughout: warm, friendly and attentive without ever feeling formal or intrusive. And the atmosphere really adds to the experience. There's a genuine buzz in the room, lively, stylish and energetic, and you immediately understand why Le Violon has become one of the new darlings of the Montreal food scene. It feels like a restaurant people are genuinely excited to be at. Fantastic food, excellent service and a great vibe. Definitely one of the highlights of my Montreal dining experiences.

We came here upon a recommendation from Eater. We made a reservation, but we showed up early hoping…read morethat we could get seated earlier. To our surprise, they had space available for us! The dishes are designed to be shared family-style. Our server made a few recommendations and we ended up taking all of them. We started with the bread and the tomato lobster. The bread was quite hot (a great sign) and the herbed butter was lovely. The tomato and lobster dish was exquisite as well -- the flavors of both foods really stood out! We then had the lemongrass cod and the guinea fowl. The cod was a great summertime dish (lighter), but the guinea was still pretty tasty. We ended up sharing the pistachio soft serve for dessert, which I really enjoyed. The dining room is quite bright thanks to many windows. It looks out onto a seemingly residential street, which adds to the charm. This may be off the beaten path and on the pricier side, but you won't leave disappointed!

I had never been to this reception hall and to be honest with you, I wasn't looking forward to it…read more It seemed bit run down, old fashioned almost and at most halls, the food is "whatever". I was definitely proven wrong. The bartender was an absolute doll! He was sweet, warm and remembered my drink throughout the night after having to place my order with him only once (he was GREAT at his job!). The waiters were ready to help you with any question or request you had. And the food... WAS AWESOME! The meal consisted of lots of different types of food; from sushi to smoked meat to canelones. Everything was fresh and tasty. The sushi was so fresh and well made! The pasta was warm and full of flavor. I was really pleasantly surprised! I'd definitely recommend this place!

We were having our final night in Montreal so we were wandering around the very busy "old town"…read morearea and came upon this steakhouse. It was very busy but we were able to secure a nice table by the window. I had a starter of the oysters which were excellent but small. We both ordered filet mignon, mine was enrobed with bacon. We both had the soup; Joe had the minestrone and I had the French onion (all time fav). The mashed potatoes were excellent but the carrots were very undercooked. Our waiter was excellent and very helpful when it came to the tipping. On the receipt (shown) it showed a charge that said TIPS which I confused with a added tip, it wasn't it was the Canadian mafia charge! Loved that my filet was cooked to perfection! Very important. I would highly recommend this place in the heart of old town.

They had months to know we had a large party of 61 from out of town dining here…read more I'm one of the diners with the group from San Francisco. I have to say.... Is this the best Montreal has to offer?? We had a reservation for 8:00PM. The people who ordered the chicken waited until past 10:00PM to be served. Everyone who ordered steak got served before. By then, no condiments were available for the luke warm potato. I had to go ask for butter and sour cream. Not impressed.

La Sirene have a handful of small halls, ideal for special event for a reasonable amount of people…read more(under a hundred). Presentation is nice but clearly doesn't have the same elegance you'd find in bigger halls. The place is VERY busy, with multiple parties going on and staff moving to and back. Not much of an area to hang out in or let the kids run loose. There's a bar in the lobby. Food was decent. Good soup, good salad but the main meal of pork tournedos was bland and forgettable. Pricing here is economic I understand but no reason to have a main meal to miss it's mark with such a limited menu. Our waitress was nice and helpful. Drinks from the bar was on-point.

This is strictly a banquet hall with a variety size rooms, this is not a restaurant…read more We held our dance her here in a room sized for 60 people. Our meal was half decent but nothing like the food we've had at la Sirene restaurant. We had soup, bread, pork tournedos, chicken and shrimp, lobster pasta. The service was efficient and the setting is great but the washrooms are down a good flight of stairs and smelled pretty bad
