I asked to be seated outside and was shown to my table in less than 7 minutes. I ordered the Parma in Bianco. It tasted fresh and was very enjoyable. There was a ton of Arugula on it, but... I survived. There was also a lot of prosciutto too. It was a really tasty. The ambiance was nice. Even though there were people bustling about outside of the restaurant boundaries, I felt like the vibe was really relaxed and calm. The location is great - especially if you're a tourist. The prices are reasonable. Service was good. No complaints.

He gladly took us for a walk to the William Gray hotel. I Love meeting people who friendly to outsiders! The rooftop was extremely busy with other F1 fans. I grabbed a bar seat and my friend stood beside. We quickly struck up conversation with other guests and order glasses of wine. Neither of us were starving but I always order oysters when on the menu. As soon as the bar tender brought the tray I noticed the shells were dry . The type of oyster was not deep belly but none the less don't lose all the wonderful juice when shucking! The first oyster I tasted also had a significant piece of shell.When the bartender came round for more wine I explained I was not interested in the rest of the oysters. She apologized and brought another order that were not dry. We really appreciated her hospitality. Perche is a chic and lovely spot to enjoy city and water views when in Montreal.

The owner, hostess and wait staff were so friendly and gracious, and this feels like an authentic neighborhood restaurant, not a tourist trap. If you're staying in old-Montreal, you can't go wrong with an intimate dinner here, either inside or outside on their outdoor sidewalk patio. Order Breakdown Starters: Ceviche ($16): Marinated scallops with ginger, sesame, and seaweed. A light, acidic, bright start to open up the palate. (This dish was delicate and texturally well-balanced, with a simple yet beautiful presentation.) Polpetta di Nonna Maria ($18): Two of grandma's veal meatballs simmered in tomato sauce with Parmigiano. Rich, savory, and perfect for dipping any table bread. (Classic Italian comfort food. The marinara was perfectly seasoned and the appropriately sized meatballs were soft and flavorful. The bread was warm and soft with a delicious crust, the perfect vehicle for the extra sauce.) Mains: Orrecchietti con Salsiccia e Rapini ($30): Classic short pasta paired with savory Italian sausage, bitter rapini greens, garlic, olive oil, and parmesan. Very traditional, rustic, and full of flavor. (The pasta and sausage and butter greens were cooked perfectly, and the greens provided the acid to offset the richness of the olive oil and sausage. Dusted with fresh Parmesan, the savory profile was near perfect.) Insalata di Tonno ($32): Seared fresh tuna over a bed of spinach with their house sesame dressing. Keeps things fresh and balanced alongside the rich pasta. (This was the standout dish, with delicate tuna slices laid out across a bed of fresh baby spinach, garnished with sweet and tart cherry tomatoes, with a savory sesame sauce drizzled over the top. The sauce was notable since it didn't overwhelm the flavor of the perfectly seared tuna.) Paired with fresh peach Bellini aperitif for my wife. I don't drink, and she drinks sparingly, but she kept mentioning how delicious it was. The dinner was rounded off with a delicious tiramisu presented in a glass dessert cup. Definitely try this place if you want an unpretentious local establishment with a focus on quality.

This is a small Italian restaurant with homemade food. I had a much better food experience here…read morethan the Italian spot I went to for lunch! For starter, I shared polpetta, the veal meatballs (2 for CAD$18). The waiter warned us it would take a bit longer to come out. The meatballs had good seasoning, but it was not hot!? We found it weird that if they took so long to make it, why was it cold inside? For pasta, I had the papardelle con ragu CAD$36. The pasta was al dente, very delicious. I recommend this dish! I also tried the ravioli con manzo CAD$34. This ravioli had braised beef inside. I honestly had low expectations because I don't usually care for ravioli. The flavor was good, and the beef was not dry. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom inside to the right. Indoor + outdoor seating. Passed the vibe check.

I chose the seafood entrée, which turned out to be a mistake. After speaking with several others who ordered the same dish, it seemed that we all had a similar experience. The clams and mussels did not taste particularly fresh, and some even contained sand. I wish I had ordered the duck instead, as it appeared to be a much better choice. I ended up eating not much of my main course because of the seafood quality.

Our waitresses recommendations were fire. We enjoyed: Complementary bread: it was soft on inside and appropriately crunchy but not overly so on the outside. Plus two huge pieces cut into 4 pieces individually. Beef tartare: at 20 cad it was a little pricy for how much you got but the taste was great and I'm a fan of comte cheese. Plus it didn't have capers which imo overwhelms tartares. Duck with carrot: as a Chinese person I've had my share of duck but this might be the best duck I've ever had in my life. The texture and cook on it was awesome! First it came with three pieces of breast. It was the perfect cook, not over like most of the places I've had duck. Then the leg had the perfect crispy fatty skin to meat ratio. Yum yum this is a can't miss dish here Burger: husband got this. I took a bite. It had a nice smoke to it and was perfectly medium rare. I was too distracted by my duck to analyze it further. Raspberry jelly for dessert: as the waitress had mentioned, it was light and a perfect sweet but tart bite. Was great! Would come here again, we had l'express earlier in this trip and place carmin blows that place out of the water.

A very kind staff member standing outside told us no problem, they could bring out a portable ramp. The menu was enticing and multiple people in the crew were craving carbs and pasta, so we took them up on the offer. Staff was so accommodating in helping us into the restaurant. I started with an Old Fashioned which had a bit too much ice in it to notice the flavors beyond bourbon/whiskey. Not the end of the world. I struggled between a few things on the menu because everything sounded delicious, so another member of the group and I shared two different dishes. We got the Risotto con Anatra (duck confit, wild mushrooms, chopped black truffle, red wine, shaved Parm) and the pasta Funghi di Basco (wild mushrooms, white wine, demi-glace, parsley, shallots, spinach, white truffle oil). We were clearly in a mushroom mood and we both agreed the risotto was the obvious winner between the two. The pasta had a little bit too much liquid/oil/whatever it was in its base that kinda detracted from the whole dish and made it lose its flavor... seemed a bit bland. The risotto was delightful, but I did not observe much of the duck confit in it which was definitely a bummer. Still a delicious dish, though.
