    Lamb shank
    Kevin F.

    You'll feel like you're in a quaint French town as soon as you walk in. You'll be greeted by incredibly nice staff as soon as you enter. Service is quick, the food is tasty and the atmosphere is very cozy and romantic with the background music. I'm not the biggest lamb fan in the world, but the lamb shank here was as good as I've ever had. The meat melted right off and was tender and tasty. One minor criticism was that the parfait dessert I had was quite hard. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that, I was expecting something a bit softer. It was difficult to eat with a spoon but it still tasted quite nice.

    Cozy setting with a solid menu of crowd-pleasing French dishes. I had the lamb (a specialty of the house), and it was perfect, juicy, falling off the bone, accompanied by a sweet potato purée, lentils and haricots verts. My husband had steak and frites. When we visited, the proprietor was also the only bartender and server, and he managed to do it very well, with friendliness and efficiency. Would highly recommend for those looking for a delicious, if not necessarily innovative, meal and good service.

    Beef
    Doris Z.

    Came here for a lunch because of the great Yelp reviews. The service was exceptionally well. We ordered both the salad and the soup. The soup was too salty and the owner gladly exchanged it to a salad. I got the medium rare beef and my bf got the veal pasta. My beef wasn't very flavourful and the fries was ok. I personally prefer crispy ones. My bf's veal was a little tough to chew, but the sauce was a great company to the pasta. The dessert was a small piece of pear cake, dense, moist and tasty. Overall, this ain't a restaurant that I would visit again, but the lunch was only $20/person. It was a good deal.

    Amazing service from beginning to end. They did a great job translating the Special 3 course menu. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I will definitely visit again!! Merci beaucoup!

    We came in on the early side on a Friday evening. The main bar area was full so we were seated in the adjacent room. I was disappointed as we were the only ones there for the duration of our visit-I'm a people-watcher and while I like to hear myself speak, I don't enjoy being the only party in the room ;). The small plates and wine we sampled, however, more than made up for it. The charcuterie platter was a work of art. The homemade chips were delicious-we ordered a second round. As Americans, we wondered if they had a dip for the chips-at a loss, our wonderful server brought us some homemade mayonnaise to use as dip. She certainly aimed to please! The vegetable soup we started with was also very good. Although they did serve entree sized meals, our group opted for the small plates. Portions were reasonable and prices were fair. As we were leaving, a larger party was being seated next to us. I think as the evening progresses, the place may get livelier.

    Awesome! A very nice date spot, classy and comfortable. Staff was excellent. My date and I both had the steak, which was as good as it gets.

    Chez Victoire - Fried burrata

    We throughly enjoyed Chez Victoire. It was the waiter who made the difference. Very professional…read more Recommended cocktails and wine. The young woman who actually brought the dishes to the table explained each one as she delivered it. We started with a tomato salad with a kind of whipped burrata. Then wonderful grilled octopus. We finished with magret de canard (duck breast) -- prepared medium rare but not as tasty as I would have hoped.

    I planned my visit to Chez Victoire when news came of their special collaboration with…read moreMichelin-starred chef Loïc Villemin. Chef Alexandre Gosselin welcomed him in his kitchen to prepare a menu during the Montréal en Lumière festivities. What a nice occasion to discover this restaurant! Chez Victoire is located on the busy and well-loved avenue Mont-Royal, its paneled glass façade gleaming with warmth in the frigid night. The interior is fairly sober and masculine, with a touch of quirkiness (yellow bicycle!). I was seated at the long center table, close to the open kitchen window. It was a busy night, and the team was certainly working hard! I opted for one of the two cocktails designed for the event, featuring pine, herbal tones from gin, and citrus. The amuse-bouches were offered as a trio. A tasty tartlet in a thin, crisp shell, placed on top of a flipped bowl (microwavable, says the print). The second bite was my favorite: a little cocoon of shiso leaf and veal tartare, buttery, herbal and delicate. Then came a brilliantly pure arctic char with roe, besides a pretty construction with crispy potato ''scales''. The two were perfectly tied together with a smooth horseradish-infused cream with chive oil. The pumpkin gnocchi with lobster that followed was intense in its flavours, and had a surprising temperature difference between the warm gnocchi and cold lobster. The thin slices of raw pumpkin were perhaps more decorative than anything else. Then came my favorite dish of the evening: a mysterious piece of cod hidden under a cozy blanket of collagen-enriched sauce, marbled like calligraphy ink on a white page. The fish was a dream of delicacy, yet rich and strong in its flavours. Every bite was eyewateringly good. The duck that followed was a bit tough, despite a good pairing with beets and red fruits. The beet was sliced and rolled as a ribbon, unfortunately loosing its juiciness. The pre-dessert was an exciting combination of parsnip and chicory ice cream, somewhat severe but pleasant earthy flavours reminiscent of coffee. The dessert of honey and pollen was beautifully designed using a honeycomb mold, with drops of scarlet hydromel. The taste was particularly overwhelming in the sabayon, but relieved by the cool, clear-tasting white honey ice cream. A very engaging meal, with some up and downs in balance. Some elements, like pink geranium oil, were too delicate, while others were overshadowing.

    We had just gone shopping for a couple of bottles at the SAQ on Beaubien, just 3-4 blocks from…read morevinvinvin and decided to try it out. It was around 3pm and of course we were the only people there, but generally didn't find the service to be that friendly or accommodating - it was more courteous and efficient as opposed to being very welcoming, which is totally fine. Overall, like many wine bars in Montreal, the BTG and bottle list skews very heavily toward natural or minimal intervention wines from all over the world (except the United States due to tariff boycotts). Although Quebec is a burgeoning wine producing region (often overshadowed by BC wines from Okanagan and ON ice wines), I found many lists did not offer much from the region, which is really disappointing. vinvinvin definitely had the most options available (perhaps 5-6 total of 40-50+ labels) and many BTG, which is great if you're looking to try some local wines. They do offer food, but the kitchen doesn't open until 4pm so we didn't try anything. Overall, I like the decor of the place and it seems like it'd be a really fun place to hang out with friends. But given that we were the only clients there at the time, I wish the service was a bit friendlier.

Prices were okay, and wine selection is not too bad. We got a couple of vermouths, which were nice to drink. We ordered olives to nibble on and I thought those were good. Decor looks unpretentious at least, but a bit too crowded for my taste. It's an okay place to visit if you want some pre-dinner beverages.
