The verdict

Go if you want one serious tasting-menu dinner on a weeknight. The cooking leans on sauces, emulsions and Québec produce, and 90 for five courses is modest for the level (currency not stated on site). The catch is the Monday: Thanksgiving and conflicting listed hours mean you should confirm before building a night around it, and book now.

How much we'll spend

$$$$Est. $90-160 / person

5-course menu $90 per official site; wine pairing $55 or $70 (4 or 5 glasses). Max = menu plus larger pairing, before tax/tip. Official page does not state currency; assumed CAD.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
