The bison was excellent, with beautifully prepared vegetables- mushroom sauce and carrots, potatoes and asparagus. I almost never eat dessert, but I trusted the waiter and his suggestion of the flourless chocolate cake was worth making an exception for. I lingered over it for half an hour reading and was left in blissful quiet to enjoy. The people clearly take pride in the food and this meal made me sad I have to leave Montreal tomorrow. It also made me promise myself that I will be coming back.

Wonderfully warm atmosphere and high quality basic ingredients made my meal for 1 very enjoyable…read more I have to admit, I definitely splurged on this dinner (oops expense report)... did the 5 course menu with supplement of foie gras selection. I could have ended the meal after the foie gras on a high note, but there was one additional course of braised beef cheek served on a bed of sage mashed potatoes and topped with pickled beets. The acidity of the beets mixed with the richness of the beef was heaven. As far as I am concerned, the chef can do no wrong. Only regret is I didn't have a companion to taste their selection!

This place is incredible! We read about it in "36 Hours in Montreal" and were intrigued by the fact…read morethat it used to be a church. The staff were so welcoming from the moment we walked in. They decided to close the patio because of lightning and potential rain, and were so apologetic about that. The menu changes every month and is a four course prix fixe menu. Our first course was a bean and kohlrabi salad with a yogurt dressing with some other goodness. It was so bright and a great summer salad! The second course was tomato, eggplant, and clams with some greens in a clam broth. Absolutely fantastic and we were so glad that we had bread to soak up the excess broth! We had two options for the third course (a pork dish with garlic and ginger, and a pasta dish with chanterelles, corn, and cauliflower), so I ordered the pasta and my partner ordered the pork so we could try both of them. Both were delicious, but we both agreed that the pasta was the better of the two. We had two options for the finale (a goat cheese with nectarine, and a strawberry, raspberry, and pepper dish with vanilla ice cream), so we each ordered one of them. Both were great -- hard to pick a favorite! We also had pour over coffee. They get their coffee from Dispatch (a Montreal coffee shop), and we enjoyed it a lot. Make yourself a reservation (easy to do on Resy) and dine here! You won't regret it.

We started out with cocktails, which were very nice! The restaurant was enchanting, rustic and cozy featuring elevated farm-to-table cuisine located in a converted basement of a church that serves a 4-5course tasting menu. You can also request for a wine pairing. The service was incredible, seamless, stressed-free and was not rushed. We may have been there for 4 hours at least. The menu was nothing short of genius, and the execution of the meal was done with such care and precision. You are able to watch them prepare every course. The level of work, and artistry, that goes into each dish was a joy of excitement. This was my favorite meal on my visit to Montreal. Overall, a must try if you love French cuisine!

Got to try some delicious food during my short weekend trip to Montreal Quebec…read more A friend organized a lunch for everyone before we all headed to the airport and funny enough this restaurant was in the hotel my friend and i stayed at. The restaurant was super quiet when we went as it was a Monday afternoon when most people were probably at work. The interior was quite elegant very clean and royalty looking. The service was 10/10. Waiter was very attentive and we could tell he paid attention to detail. He gave great food recommendations and definitely had knowledge of what's on the menu. Now as for how the food and prices were? Prices i'd say are pretty standard and reasonable. The squash soup was so yum and comforting. It had a puree texture to it. Good serving size. I would order it again! We obviously had to have some mimosas and yes we paired it with orange juice. The duck confit may have been a bit too much for me. Large portion and i couldn't even finish half of it. But it wasn't dry and the veggies had a nice crunch and the lentils were very filling and healthy. The flavour notes all went together but i'd definitely say the dish was more on the healthier side. The chicken supreme on the other hand .. although healthy it was still cheesy and buttery. Considering it was chicken breast it didn't even taste dry so i definitely appreciated that. The risotto paired with it was the star of the show! The restaurant takes resos online and they do have brunch on the weekends, happy hour menu looks promising. If i'm ever in town again and in the area i'd want to try their happy hour or chacuterie spread!

We were traveling most of the day and exhausted, debated room service or going downstairs, we were…read morepleasantly surprised at how good the food and service are. (Hotel restaurants, can be good/bad) We were definitely not dressed up which I was worried about but it wasn't an issue, we started with beef carpaccio and charcuterie, the pate was absolutely amazing as were all the cured meats. The beef carpaccio, was for me a little bland, I would have hit it with a touch of salt, but once you got a piece th at had balsamic drizzle it really opened it up and changed my mind. (I wish there was a little more of the balsamic. My husband had the Cornish hen, and I had the filet mignon, both were absolutely amazing, I even stole a little of his Bleu cheese for my steak. Steak was cooked perfectly, the sides were amazing. Our server was on point, his name was Pedro, I had asked him to send out a dessert privately and it was our 1 year anniversary, even though we were not dressed for the occasion as we were both exhausted from travel, We will probably be in for lunch tomorrow!

Perhaps I ordered the wrong dishes but the food fell flat for me…read more I tried the brioche and salmon tartare and both dishes lacked flavour. The brioche was way too bready and the goat cheese, onions, cranberries didn't match well. The textures were hard on the exterior but soggy inside. I was left with too much dough at the end of my meal. The tartare was ok, but the fennel was overpowering. And the bread that came with it was hard, bordering stale. The cappuccino was good. The service was friendly but slow on a Friday mid-day.

Service is fast and warming. Had to confess that I did looking up this hotel before staying here and found this restaurant. Looked up the menu and I am a sucker for a good baked shank. Starting off with two types of bread with butter which was very good. Ordered the Lamb Shank and it was excellent. Not to be confess with beef shanks ( Osso Buco ) but just as tasty. Soft, tender and moist. Sitting on a bed of artichoke harts and potatos with brown gravy. Pros: Everything was good. Cons: My dinner partner had the stake and it was dry and tuff. Would I return? Yes and would order the shank.

Bonjour from Canada…read more.. We had breakfast at Osco this morning. We were greeted and escorted to a table by our hostess. Our server invited us to the buffet. It is an all you can eat buffet with coffee and tea service. In an addition I had a custom made white egg omelette. The buffet had all of the trational breakfast suspects like eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, etc. The Canadian specific items included crepes (the standout for me) and French pastries. The language is French primarily in Montreal. I had to brush some French out of the cobwebs of my brain. The restaurant was sparsely populated when we arrived at 7:30 am by 7:45 am folks were coming in droves. We did not feel in pressure to rush out the restaurant. Love a low-key, laid back environment... Food and beverages were excellent!

Their continental breakfast was so good we didn't bother ordering anything off the regular menu. Each breakfast came with a pastry of choice, and I got the (very large but delicious) croissant. There was also a yogurt parfait with berries and granola that was a perfect compliment to the carbs of my croissant. I didn't really get my coffee refilled so I'm not sure if that's all you get, but it was still a lovely coffee and I enjoyed dining here. They also have a really lovely outdoor patio that we finally got a moment to visit. I would have come for the patio alone, it was so lovely and everything I needed on a warm summer afternoon. Sometimes it took awhile for our server to come out and check on us, but we had the time so it didn't really matter. He was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu.

A delightful breakfast on a weekday morning!…read more We were lucky enough that Renoir opened as early as 7 AM and so seeing the glowing reviews, we had to stop by. The first thing I noticed right off the bat was the beautiful layout of the restaurant. They had plenty of seating, and I love that there was a variety from booth to traditional tables to couches! This restaurant was truly elegant. For someone who always gets overwhelmed with choices, I really appreciated that their breakfast menu was straight to the point, and while there were still many offerings, it was succinct. Our table started off with some juices and coffee - I decided on the grapefruit juice, but I really wish I had tried the orange juice because it was definitely freshly squeeze and I was told that it was so sweet and delicious! The grapefruit juice was good too, but I forgotten how bitter grapefruit can be :,) for my entrée I got the eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes, and this was cooked to perfection. The eggs Benedict still had that runny yolk with a savory hollandaise sauce while the potatoes were one of best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The flavor was Herby and potato was firm enough to still have that crispy exterior but soft enough that I could break the potato in half with my fork. Another thing I have to brave about this restaurant was the service. Our waiter was so kind and funny and he was always coming back to attend to us and make sure that we had everything we needed. Really love this place and hopefully I can come back again for breakfast in Montreal!
