The verdict

A neighbourhood-scale pick built around mezze-style plates, tartare and lamb keftas with local farm produce. It is shut on Thanksgiving Monday, so plan it for Tuesday to Thursday dinner. We found no independent review in this pass, so treat it as a convenient, menu-backed option rather than a proven destination.

Why maybeOpen and well placed for Tue-Thu, but closed Oct 12 and no editorial or community evidence gathered.

Small plates $12-31, mains $24-36 on official menu PDF; 2-3 plates plus a drink. Wine not priced here.

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.
