HowufJuly 19, 2017We had to make bit of a line at 8pm, but it was so worth it. It's moderately expensive, but you get what you pay for and more. I had an amazing sangria du melon, ceviche du thon and pâte chinois😘👌🏼
Gabriel AnguloJune 12, 2016Pizza its so so, try instead pâté chinois, it's delicious!, Mac&cheese its great too, desserts are great too, pouding chomeur its the best with tiramisu à l' orange in close 2nd, crepe pommes is good
Carmen NAugust 11, 2016Tourist area restaurant that is actually a nice way to spend time- lovely back garden is multi-tiered with live music. Have a beer or a glass of wine and a crêpe.
This is one of my favorite spot, always a great jazzy ambiance with a great live band (most of the time). Good sangria and food for everyone's taste.
YuliaJuly 7, 2014The salads (which are more like chicken accompanied by a salad) were very original and interesting. I had the Asian salad with chicken and it was very satisfying and delicious. Nice atmosphere as well
PatchxMay 14, 2016The food is amazing, i love the jazz band that is playing there. Great place to go for a date or casual dinner with friends while at the old port. A must
Rosie HendersonJuly 22, 2016Beautiful outdoor garden seating. Live jazz. A variety of sangria by the glass, pitcher and half picture. Delicious omelettes and crepes on the weekend for brunch.
Lo-Anne CJune 5, 2014The rabbit crêpe is super rich (in the most delicious way). Also try the homemade lemonade! The maple pudding and the pecan flaky pastry are also must haves! Food. coma.
PATRICK MCMAHONAugust 11, 2017Go and enjoy the music, the food is delicious and affordable. The staff is always lovely. Seating is limited so call and reserve. A must for brunch!- Nick GreifMay 16, 2013Indoor/outdoor restaurant in Montreal's old district. Has live jazz every night and a very nice outdoor garden to eat in. Definitely a good place for dinner and the food isn't too pricey.
Cider, outdoors seating , jazz live! An Amazing place in old Montreal ! :)
Charles GedeonAugust 11, 2014The crêpes, particularly the ones with pesto, are excellent. The sangria is great here too! Make sure you sit outside though - I'm all about that walled garden!- Jojo AlsalemAugust 20, 2016Lobster salad was amazingly fresh and flavorful. Shrimp pizza and mushrooms brie crepe were okay. Don't leave without trying pudding chomeur.
- Charles GedeonJune 14, 2015Had the lobster salad and enjoyed it to no end. Sweet and savoury, with fresh fruits and a very generous scoop of lobster!
Ana LopezAugust 30, 2014So cozy to have a good time. Great patio and don't forget to try the salmon pizza. It's delicious with spicy olive oil!
fereshteh nooriJune 26, 2017Fancy italian restaurant. Good quality of dishes. Price is acceptable in comparison to quality
Keri GonzalezSeptember 19, 2017Such a great atmosphere! The Italian sausage and curry crepe was delicious
- Niki Katherine HolmesJuly 28, 2015Touristy, but tasty! Can't go wrong with a crêpe and a lemonade out on the terrace.
Michael LewickiSeptember 16, 2012Great service and you must sit on the terrace and listen to live jazz. Try the melon sangria, it's fantastic. Our serve was Sandrine (she was great!)
Peter LAugust 7, 2016We were pleasantly surprised with a three o'clock jazz performance. We loved the salmon pizza. Sangria was ok.
- JessicaJune 8, 2015A bit expensive, but it's worthwhile on a nice summer day when they have live jazz!
Sam DhueySeptember 9, 2016The breakfast burritos were scrumptious. Recently came for a long weekend and we ended up getting breakfast here two times!

Tanya KJuly 25, 2011Terrace seating in back is what it's all about! don't forget to try their sangria and their delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Crepe for dessert and their pouding chaummeur!
BeeeeAugust 6, 2018The lobster salad is super fresh and the orange Tiramisu is just amazing!! Highly recommend!
- YuliaJuly 9, 2014Try the Cheesecake crepe - delicious. (Although I think it's too much sweetness for one person- we split it between two).
- Jodi HunterAugust 9, 2016The back garden is lovely. They have live music and the food is good. I have a lobster salad...yum!
Jason H.July 6, 2012Beautiful outdoor terrace with live jazz. Feels like Southern France. Avoid the chocolate decadent crepe though - too heavy. Other food was great.- Cristiano BettaSeptember 23, 2016Amazing food and atmosphere. Get a table in the garden and enjoy some Jazz
Arnoud AalbersbergMay 24, 2015Lobster salad was awesome. Fresh everything. Nice ambiance with live music.
Roniel TesslerMay 29, 2017Touristy, sure, and the food is okay, but the jazz and enchanting atmosphere make for a lovely combination.
YannickJune 2, 2013Great food and company. Was able to eat in the courtyard during a crazy thunderstorm with jazz music. Magical- Murat ArigAugust 29, 2018Good food and good ambiance..nice music too , may be a better sound system would be better..
Karen Schulman DupuisJuly 13, 2013It's worth the wait for the garden. And enjoy the melon sangria...delicious!
Matthew ConroyAugust 27, 2010Lovely terrace with live music, fantastic selection of crepes. Great place to take the family and surprisingly good for a tourist restaurant.- Francesco MarasciaJune 11, 2013I liked the terrace and the live music, fantastic selection of crepes.
Caroline KouassiamanAugust 14, 2017Wasn't able to sit in the garden, but sat on the patio. Food solid (had smoked salmon pizza which was tasty but a little too caper heavy) but nothing spectacular.
