Came for a weekend visit to Montreal and had seen the Michelin write up of this place. Decided to make a visit for my wife's birthday. Overall, a really wonderful place, but with ups and downs. Good things: All the food. The food was spectacular and my compliments to the chefs. Our favorite dish was the pea tartlet which was surprisingly sweet and refreshing. The duck, too, was excellent. A downside was that we were asked to select two things per service pairing (almost like an Italian restaurant), but the food did not come out in that ordering. I asked about this but was told it was the chef's choice. If we had known, we would have ordered a bit differently. Not so good things: The service wasn't poor, but it wasn't at the $200 dinner level IMO. We ordered bread for the dinner and it was forgotten about until I had to ask for it. I was asked when I made the reservation if it was a special occasion (it was - my wife's birthday), but they never mentioned this in our meal. I have never been to such an expensive restaurant when I was asked about the occasion and have it not mentioned. Finally, this is a zero waste, high sustainability restaurant. That's their thing. And our waiter never once mentioned any of that in the ordering discussion. I really would like to know more about this, and I think it would have been nice to have heard more from the waitstaff. Overall, a really beautiful dinner, but I felt not very well taken care of by the waitstaff and, at this price point, that's not a good thing. But, the food was so good as to still be 4 stars in my book. Though I might go as low as 3.5.
Not sure what makes a place "Québécois" but that's what O-Thyme claims to be and I'm here for it. Everything tastes simple and fresh, great quality seafood, & just good cooking overall! Loved the scallops wrapped in spinach. Tender with its delicate sweetness presented so well Tartar was another fav - flagrant dill oil and shallot confit comes together beautifully. Scoop it up with the chips for an added crunch! scallops $29* arctic char tartar $25* morel mushroom tartlet $24 king oyster mushroom $23 duck goulu $29 buckwheat pizelle $14 koji cake $14 몬트리알은 먹으러 오는 도시다. 할건 없는데 식당들이 전부 다 굳 가격대도 매우 착함. 여긴 퀘백식당으로 분류되었는데 뭐가 퀘백 스타일인지는 모르겠지만 약간 모던 프랜치 느낌...? 깔끔하면서 맛있구 재료 퀄리티도 좋아서 우린 엄청 만족함!! 시금치로 감싼 관자랑 송어(?) 타르타르 추천. 봄을 가득 담은 싱그러운 디쉬들이다~
We picked this place out very last minute as we wanted one last good French meal in Montreal. We made a reservation at the bar (not usually my favorite place to sit), but the ambiance was relaxed and we got a great view of the kitchen and everything else going on! The restaurant wasn't too noisy at all, and our server was excellent, and worked her best to explain everything to us in English! (We had a lot of fun with this!!) Everything tasted incredible, although the second courses were a little adventurous for us! The lamb and mushroom dish was absolutely phenomenal. The BOYB is not something that I'm used to without a corkage fee like in the US, and I found it really cool! We stopped by a wine store on the way to get a French red wine to go with our dinner.
Oh Thym， you are so good. How could you be so good. You are just insanely good that I can bare with all Montréal slow service now. Kkkk Let me tel you that you have to be patient if you are dining for dinner in Montréal. I think it usually takes 2:30 hours to finish a 4/5/6courses dinner. But everything is a surprise n everything is worth of your time if you are here. I suggest you just go for everything cuz I just ordered random things which are all delicious.
On my weekend getaway to Montreal, we were recommended O'Thym by friends who noted that they visited this bistro every time they go to Montreal. We tried to get in on Saturday evening without reservations which turns out, means you're probably not going to get in. Luckily we found reservations for the next evening. So note to you, make a reservation because they're that good and busy! First impressions, the place is a decent size but definitely make reservations. The decor is cool and chic. Seats are decently spaced and it is super clean. You can dress up or go smart casual if you'd like though we did see people in more casual outfits too. The bistro is bring your own wine so if you're looking to drink with your food, make sure to pick up a bottle or two of wine (depending how lit you wanna get) and bring it on in. We did not this time around. The wait staff was super helpful and answered any questions we had happily. We were advised their menu changes based on the in-season produce and ingredients which means you won't get bored coming back here time and time again. This evening we went with a variety of dishes: the Spelt and Oyster Musroom Risotto with Pork rang (tenderloin?); Duck; Fish of the Day - Cod; White Turnip App; Cod Fritter App. I must say every dish was beautiful and delicious! Every dish had wonderful flavour. My Risotto was less heavy than the traditional risotto which was blanaced out by the creaminess and the tender tender pork. I scooped up every little bit of my dish and if it wasn't so highly frowned upon, I would've licked the plate! The fish dishes were cooked perfectly and had so many flavour combinations that complimented each other so well. The duck (though I didn't try it) apparently was really good and was gone in less than 5 minutes. The only downside of the food was that I wanted more when I was done! lol The food was awesome, the portion size was actually the right size, I just like to eat so I totally could've had more XD All in all, as usual TL;DR, eat here. You won't regret it!
Truly an amazing culinary experience. Definitely farm to table food at the highest level. Everything and I mean everything was Delicious... This is a must try location.
Flawless experience. I was seated right away, and my server didn't assume anything about my language skills- he asked if I'd prefer a French or English menu. Of course I wish I could read French! I tried my best. Everything on the menu is seasonal and fresh, so there were a few specials. I thought the Fish of the Day (cod) would be amazing since it came with morel mushrooms, but my server was careful to check for any dairy content. The sauce for the fish is a cream sauce, so I ended up getting the seared scallops as my appetizer, and the celery root with chanterelles as my main. I asked to add morels to the celery root dish and it was fantastic. I loved the crispy fried chickpeas that were sprinkled on top of the celery root dish. The umami of all the dishes was incredible. The big windows were a great way to watch the storm roll in, and enjoy the warm atmosphere inside. I would really like to come back for brunch!
Super cute BYOB restaurant offering an ever changing seasonal menu of "quebecois" food with amazing service. I know that's a mouthful but it's all the things that make this restaurant so great! We made reservations for 3 on a Tuesday night and most times were free, I can imagine it gets busy on the weekends though. They have a decent range of appetizers however we skipped on these since we already had a quick bite. They include a small soup and bread and butter on the house each person anyway which was a nice surprise. For the main course they offer mostly local meats accompanied by a creative side dish. I had the duck leg confit while my friend had the beef tartar. Both were cooked so well, the duck was crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. It came with vegetables and a berry sauce that gave the dish a refreshing pop. Highly recommend, I wish it was always on the menu! Although it's on the expensive side, bringing your own wine and skipping on the appetizers could land you a great meal at $40 all in. I'll definitely be coming back here.
Flavours ! They nailed it. I've been wanting to come here for a while and finally my boyfriend took me here as he's a big fan of this spot I am not a huge fan as well. We had a great waitress who came over and explained the menu with a huge smile and knew all the ingredients and didn't miss a beat. She did a fantastic job and really made our dining experience great. So besides the fact that it's a byow it's a little loud but what would you expect? It was very classy and food was well priced for a byow because they usually hike the prices up but they didn't. We started with the scallops which were seared perfectly and the crumbled chicken skin was a nice touch. We then had the fiddle head salad which was served on a chic pea pure. It was my first time trying this dish and it's filling so I would suggest you share it like we did with all of appetizers. We then had the sweet potato which was really little so that kinda sucked but it was very good. It's served cold with a little cream on top with a a nicely cooked hot arancini. The best was the foie gras of course! It was served on a carrot cake with rhubarb with fleur de sel. The main we shared was the duck it was nice the what and sauce but the duck was over cooked. But since the service and experience was great I wont knock off any stars. The menu just changed for the season so keep your eyes peeled for a new menu in a few weeks.
Finally tried this famous restaurant. We reserved the seats two weeks ahead and could only get two seats at six. They only serve dinner now and no lunch anymore. We ordered three dishes per person as recommended. They were indeed very small like tapas plates but you need to bring your own wine. The amount of food was good for us but I think it might need four plates for an average person (and remember to order bread). Globally the dishes were very creative and I liked four of them among the six dishes very much. The other two are mediocre given the price. The highly recommended two dishes are Pétoncles poêlés, Nouveau-Brunswick and Gnudis au Louis d'Or. They were really impressive and worth coming back.
This was without a doubt, my favorite meal while in Montreal - 10/10 and outstanding in every sense. We were a brunch group of about 25 and we all loved it. The menu is sophisticated, somewhat simple, but nonetheless great. I had the grilled cheese with mamirolle cheese curd and red cabbage with a poached egg - so so good. Lots of people in our group raved about the beef short ribs steak, wellington croissant and the eggs benedict, but its hard to think you can go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Most of all the staff was super attentive and tended to every need of our very loud group. As if the service and food weren't enough, its BYOB! We purchased a few champagne bottles and mixed them with their freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also get their mimosa cider or a natural juice. I forgot what the juice of the day was but it was delicious. Zero complaints on this side. Next time I'm in Montreal I will certainly pay them another visit.

We got in early and the staff seemed to be getting ready for the big night. The service was wonderful accept when it came down to getting the bill. And seemed like our final selections a little delayed past what the kitchen was tossing out. The flow was great then slowed a bit worried about missing our show. So I debated from 5 to 4 but overall the table and corner was perfect for us. Especially w a Svc dog. The ambiance was romantic. Made you think you were young and in your twenties. But the cost of this meal was not someone that is young can be comfortable with. Haha read more

I really wanted to like this place. Cute atmosphere, and the host and waitress were both so nice. But the pacing between courses was brutal, and the food didn't hold up. Sat down: 9:00pm First course - 9:12pm: Scallops. Usually one of my favorite appetizers, but these were slimy and way too fishy. Second course - 9:50pm: Seal. First time trying it, so I can't say if it was the prep or just not for me. It tasted like raw tuna (which I love), but had the chew of a tough steak -- nothing like the melt-in-your-mouth texture I was hoping for. Exception: the bread was good! Third course - 10:30pm: Duck. Not terrible, not great. I love duck when it's cooked right, but the fat wasn't rendered enough -- it tasted like it had cooled and started congealing. Everything was chewier than it should've been. Maybe it was an off night. I know French dining is slower paced, but usually the food is better. For me, as a solo diner, nearly 40 minutes between courses was rough, and the food didn't make up for it. Cute atmosphere, great service, but the food fell flat and I still walked out having spent nearly $140 CAN. Can't recommend. read more
Overall: A // 5 stars Exciting restaurant at the forefront of farm to table modern cuisine with new takes on common ingredients in an effort to reduce waste. Love the vegetable-forward nature of the menu, with every dish sounding amazing, and executed to perfection. Their presentation is unbeatable. (Grilled Broccoli: A+) - Fascinating dish that hits all the taste buds, including bitterness from the raddachio, which was tamed beautifully by the sweet pear. The green crack sauce is a majestic herb cream, and when combined with the fermented tofu sauce, and the savory and garlicky breadcrumbs, this was a complex dish that hit several impressive and underutilized profiles. (Delicata Squash: A+) - Fascinatingly presented dish that uses the top of a squash to create a volcanic canvas, with a squash puree on the bottom, and flavorful pumpkin seeds tossed in a spiced tomato xo . Hidden inside is a tender piece of pork belly as well. I enjoy the squash forward notes, one more sweet, one more salty, and then paired with a crunch that parallels with their waste reduction initiative and a mild spice to add an occasional kick. (Seared Duck: A+) - Fresh, vibrant duck breast that follows a savory palette moreso than sweet. The duck is tender and well rendered with a thin layer of fat remaining to permiate flavor. It works particularly well with the white beet puree, which adds an intense grassiness. The sea buckthorn is an interesting saline acidic flavor bomb with a more citrusy note than capers.

If I could give a 6/5 rating to this place, I would. We came for brunch on a weekend. The decor was super cute. Service was amazing. You can tell the dishes are made with absolute care and top-quality ingredients. Steak de Macreuse Sous-Vide for 48 hours - A totally French and sophisticated version of the bland American steak and eggs. Croissant Wellington - Such a cute poached egg! Amazing combination. read more
One of my all time favourite BYOBs in Montreal. Came here at the last minute with some girl friends, and they were very accommodating in providing a last minute reservation (early on a Wednesday). As always, food was delicious and variety of high quality local ingredients were used. The pictures will speak for themselves. A must try in Montreal. Menu changes with the seasons/availability of local ingredients. I would rate this place 100 out 10 if I could :D read more
In my opinion, one of the best BYOB restaurant in Montreal. Reservation is necessary considering the location and popularity of this restaurant. The place is cozy and decorated with taste. Simple menues with great choices for vegetarians/vegans. The waiter was friendly and professional. Portion sizes are reasonable and plates are beautifully put. We were offered a complimentary soup as an appetizer. I ordered the Fresh local goat cheese appetizer and the Poisson du jour as the main dish. Highly recommended. read more

A good NYish brunch place was bit hard to find in Montreal but this place was cute. The place is a byob but it wasn't advertised, wish I knew because it was freezing out and didn't want leave again to come back. So we had brunch with there very very very minimally alcoholic mimosa. I ordered the steak and eggs, everything was well seasoned and cooked well. The mushrooms were a great add on as it helped me fill up. I was stuffed after the meal. My BF ordered the Croissant Wellington. Also a really good plate. Well seasoned, good portion and perfect for the day after a night of drinking. They also offered a complimentary yogurt with pears. It was absolutely delicious, I ate mine and my boyfriends. They should consider adding it to the menus. read more

Small and cute BYOB. Anything that advertise in front of their door that I should bring Champagne (which we did) has already won. The food was overall good. Some simple dishes and some a little more complex. I did really like the Tuna Tataki. It's available both as and entree and a main plate. However, as a main plate the slices are extremely ticker and it makes the plates less interesting and fine. I thing the entree option is better. The wild rice with the steak is also amazing! Sadly, there was just a couple of bites of it. Overall, it's good and quite affordable in the end. I'll have to try their brunch next. read more
We were a group of 6 and came here for dinner on Saturday night. Everyone was given a small cold potage to start with. It was refreshing and unlike any I've had before. I had the scallop and leek appetizer (under the tartare menu), and the sous-vide steak for the main. For dessert I got the favourite, maple creme brulee. So creamy and smooth! The plates were beautifully presented, and the food was perfectly cooked and savoury. Another restaurant that showcases Quebec produce to its best. It is also BYOW, and we easily finished off 3 bottles of wine :) Would love to come back here for their brunch menu! read more

O'Thym is a great BYOB place! Even for brunch! You can bring your own bubbly to make bottomless mimosas. :) The food is absolutely delicious. They often change up their menu to feature fresh ingredients. I had bavette and duck eggs for brunch, an interesting twist of steak and eggs. :) The decor is industrial and clean with high ceilings. Very nice place for celebration or special occasions! read more

If you're opposed to delightful food, friendly service, and BYOB, don't go here. Everyone else, do it. My friends and I went here on our last night in Montréal and it was an awesome goodbye. I mean all the food we had in the city was great, but this was definitely a peak. We each had an entree, two of them special entrées--swordfish and veal--but I believe mine, the duck, was a dinner menu staple. All of them were delicious and worth the slightly more expensive price tag. (As an aside, compared to NYC prices, we felt so thrifty. Going back has been a rude awakening...I miss you Canada). We also had 2 desserts, a creamy and delicious creme brulee and this amazing shortcake with meringue and citrus fruit. Seriously, don't pass up on their desserts. Tl;dr version: you'll want to eat here. read more

Yes another MTL restro getting my 5*. The slow cooked steak is to die for. I mean, for real, I rarely get excited, but the control of the texture and flavor is superb. The steak is still pinkish inside and has an almost eerie consistent texture without the taste of muscle fibers, something I will order again for sure. read more

I have been here several times and brought everyone from the most strict vegetarian to the biggest meat lover, and everyone has left wishing to come back! Service is fantastic, BYOB is always a plus, and the food has a unique Quebec flavor to it. It may be considered french, but you'd be hard pressed to find most of these dishes in your standard french cuisine. Menu is pretty consistent, with a few specials each day, but the chef will cater a dish to whatever you need. Although almost nothing on the menu is vegetarian, friends of mine have had dishes made by the chef many times and always loved it. Make sure you get the Trou Normand in between courses! A delicious palate cleanser, share at least between 2 people. A great place to stretch your boundaries, anything on the menu is guaranteed to be great! read more
Creative, Delicious, Unpretentious For fans of the Montreal restaurant bring-your-own-bottle of wine experience, the three of us made this our first dinner reservation of a two night stay. This is my fourth time there and it never disappoints. Had the foie gras appetizer with lentils and chips presented on a small chopping board, followed by the veal which was juicy, marinated and a joy to eat, and the mushroom pie with duck confit, with a side order of frites with spicy mayo. - from a July 2016 experience read more

Called last minute - was browsing and google searching for good foie in the surrounding area. Note that it is a BYOB. This restaurant came up on a Montreal blog. Called and was greeted by a friendly staff member - they were happy to accommodate us. Arrived at 9pm to a packed house. Ambience is clean, simple, but appealing. Decor was fairly simple but effective (simple wooden tables, some hanging lights, and a few mirrors on the wall) As we have seen at Joe Beef and Liverpool house there is a chalkboard with the menu. Pleasant surprise when we were offered an English menu. Appetizers were of course a double helping of seared foie gras that we shared. Prepared with onion confit purée, pear, sunflower seeds and lentils. Delicious. Juicy. Yes please! We also had a lamb fried sweetbreads served with endive salad and pumpkin seeds and honey & aioli. Found this to be tasty but a little rich for my taste. The fish of the day was a haddock served with carrots, fiddleheads, Brussels sprouts and a grain the name of which eludes me at the moment. This was an absolute triumph. Great texture, and the fish was light, flaky, and flavourful. This combined well with the texture from the vegetables and accompaniments. 10/10 would repeat. Also very reasonably priced with apps in the 13-19 dollar range and mains in the range of 25-35. read more
