The verdict

A sensible dinner near home base if you want classic French without a trek: tartare, bone marrow, duck à l'orange. We could not find independent reviews this pass, so treat it as a solid-on-paper option rather than a proven standout. Book on Resy, and confirm Thanksgiving hours before counting on Monday.

How much we'll spend

$$$$Est. $50-75 / person

À la carte starters $16-26, mains $30-39 (Rossini $70) on official menu; roughly a starter, main and a drink. 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.
