The hidden gem in montreal! People need to start trying it out now before getting a table becomes impossible. The trout is a must. The pasta is perfection. And the meats are perfectly cooked with balanced richness to the sauces.

We had a fantastic time celebrating my parents anniversary here. We all had the tasting menu with the Hoogan wine pairing. We still can't decide which course we liked best! All of the food was perfectly prepared and interesting. Each bite left us wanting more, but it was just the right amount of food. The wine pairing was just as interesting! The wines were from all over and not your normal run of the mill wines. Incredible value. Incredible foods. Incredible wines. Incredible service!! Ranks very highly in our list of top meals.
