About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Chef Chuck Hughes and Chef Christopher Merrick collaborate to offer a mind bending experience at this Old Montreal landmark. Over the top tasting menus in a supremely unique historic building, complimented by outstanding service, an unparalleled atmosphere and deep, notable wine selections.

*Please note that we have a full bar permit, which in Quebec means NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ALLOWED.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Merrick

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a scene at this small but lively restaurant in Old Montreal from Iron Chef America winner Chuck Hughes. A massive, ornate chandelier frames an all-out meal where you can order a seafood tower, lobster agnolotti, and hangar steak in onion sauce, all served in a cozy, old stone building. Or let the chef decide and pick from four to seven courses for a memorable night out.

    An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The tasting menu was perfectly curated, and the kitchen thoughtfully accommodated guests with specific dietary preferences or aversions. The staff worked in perfect harmony—professional, attentive, and seamless in their service. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a memorable culinary experience.

    Amazing food! Best food I’ve had in years, had the chef’s choice first option and it was a lot of food and was very full at the end. Dessert was AMAZING

    Great dinner in this dimly lit romantic seafood spot. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Loved the raw bar items, crab toast and swordfish. Nice selection of wines by the glass.
