This was my "nice" meal during my very short trip to Montreal last weekend, and it turned out to be…read morea great choice. There are 2 sides of the restaurant: the more casual order what you want brasserie side and then the fancier multi-course chef menu side. I chose the brasserie side, where I had a reservation for a bar seat - turns out that wasn't really that necessary as there were several individual bar seats open; A group would probably have a difficult time getting a seat on a Friday evening though. For drinks, I had a paper plane and a last word. Those are my two go to cocktails for nicer bars, and they pulled them off fantastically (they also knew what I was talking about which is kind of rare for the last word). For an extra nice touch, they clipped an actual paper plane to the paper plane drink. Fun! For food, I ordered the Duck Confit. It was super crispy on the outside, but the meat was super tender and juicy and melted off of the bone. My mouth is watering while thinking about it. It also came with bread service. For dessert I had the tiramisu. I would give it a 4/5 - it was a little more bland than others I've had - not bad at all, but not my favorite one of all time. They seem to be serious about their coffee (see pictures). Since I was sitting right in front of it I had to order one to go with the tiramisu. I had a basic americano, and it was a great addition. My only real complaint is the bar seating felt a little bit exposed as the main walkway through the restaurant goes along the bar seating. Drinks 5/5, Service 5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5

They have several of them in this place and I have found one of my favourite in Quebec: The Tribale IPA. It has a nice bracing bitterness, a well balanced hoppy flavor, strong but not overpowering, not malty, and with a nice subtle grapefruit taste that is what I usually look in an IPA. They also sell it in a can in their store, so I bought 4 cans and that same night had it taste to another IPA hunter and was very happy with the new discovery.

The beer selection is long and solid, many IPAs for those who like them and great visiting beers. One may find many of the good beers in the adjacent store and bring home.

For me Ma Brasserie is really off the beaten path, but I'm willing to take the road trip as parking around is hugely easy and available. The brewery offers brewing classes in cooperation with Institut Brassicole du Quebec that I may try as something new to learn in 2019!

We stopped to grab some food and drinks at the bar here while we were walking around Montreal. The…read morerestaurant had a nice location next to an outdoor rink. It was definitely an upscale vibe and we felt slightly underdressed wearing hockey jerseys, but were still able to enjoy our experience. Some of the menu had English translations for the items, but other items were only listed in French. They offered a nice cocktail and mocktail menu, although they were out of one of the mocktail options. I ordered the endive salad which was good, but the dressing had a slightly overpowering spicy mustard flavor. I also had the French onion soup, which had a nice herby flavor but unfortunately the toast was burnt. My husband had the carpaccio, which he raved about.

It's part of a hotel, so you have to enter the hotel to enter the restaurant. It was a little confusing knowing where to go to get seated / if you should just seat yourself; but there was a host that would come to the front door to seat you. Service was quite slow. They didn't seem all that busy as there were maybe 3-4 tables per server. It took a while to be acknowledged, 10+ minutes to get coffee after ordering, and 15-20 minutes for the omelette to finally make its way out. The omelette was evenly cooked and fluffy, but it was a bit bland. The bacon was served on the side, and that is where all of the flavor was for the omelette. I was in a hurry, otherwise I would have requested hot sauce or something to help out the eggs. The coffee wasn't the greatest. I had a lot of seriously good americanos in Montreal, but this one felt watery and almost like it was reheated. Better than nothing first thing in the morning, but there are plenty of other options around with better coffee. I wouldn't be upset to eat here again, but I don't think I would choose it over many of the other great options in the area.

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!

(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.

We were early and our table wasn't quite ready yet, so they kindly found space for us at the kitchen bar. Turns out that was a perfect place to for us to wait. We were able to talk to Chef Heather and watch her work her magic on the dishes she was plating. We took advantage of this time to order the deviled eggs and some drinks. Loved the eggs! Once we moved to our table, we all noticed that even though we may have had a designated server, everyone that we spoke to graciously treated us like we were the most important people they were taking care of that night. The teamwork amongst the staff was incredible to see and feel. At one point, Fred let us know that they only had 2 buns left, so if we wanted a burger, he needed to know immediately and he would save them for us. Two things stood out about that conversation. First, they make their bread in house and once the buns for that day are gone, no other burgers will be sold. Second, I believe Fred just happened to hear us discussing the menu and heard someone say they were going to get the burger. At that point, he stepped in to share the news about the buns and gave us the option to put those on hold even though everyone else was not ready to order yet. He certainly could have pretended he didn't hear us and we would have been none the wiser, but his attention to customers and their experience really made an impression on all us. In addition to excellent customer service by everyone, the food we had was fantastic. Personally, I had the scallops and thoroughly enjoyed the dish. After dessert, Fred was kind enough to sit down with us and share some of his favorite spots for food and drink. Half of our crowd actually ran into him later at one of his suggested bars, so his list was very honest! We all left that night with such amazing memories of our time at Projet Pilot and it will be the place we recommend for anyone visiting Montreal!

With the plants, the string lights, and the colorful tables, the vibe is just right. I enjoyed having dinner in the pleasant summer breeze. The staff is super kind. I love our server. We were hungry, but not starving. This is where Le Réservoir shines - because the food is yummy, and the plates are great for sharing. We opted for the fried buffalo chicken and a burrata salad. Both were show stoppers: the chicken was crunchy and crispy without tasting dry or over seasoned, and the burrata was creamy, served with toasted bread that meshed well with the green goddess dressing and fresh veggies. The reason we came to Le Réservoir was for the beer, and it did not disappoint. I had the best beer of our visit at Le Réservoir - a pineapple sour. It was honestly one of the top five best beers I've ever had. I'll remember this one for a while! I love everything about our dinner at Le Réservoir.

(Octopus: A) - The flavor of this dish is perfectly balanced with a seafood saline coming from the octopus, complemented by the sweetness of the peppers and the acidity of the olives. The octopus is impressively tender and could not be cooked nor seasoned better. The potato component was omitted due to dairy, but the dish is already perfect to me. (Squid Ink Spaghetti: A) - Perfectly cooked pasta being just on the verge of al dente, but still soft enough. The sauce is well made, not being runny and just coated enough to give the pasta and seafood flavor without overpowering. The breacrumbs add a different saline and textural component to the dish pleasantly, which builds on the lovely sweet and spicy tomato sauce.
