    Exp globale bonne puisque nous connaissions déjà ce restaurant avec cadre agréable. Néanmoins, le personnel devrait mieux connaître la carte. Le serveur nous a dit que le babaganush était chaud avec le saumon, alors qu’il était froid. Nous avons précisé lors de la resa qu’il s’agissait d’un anniversaire de mariage pour nos 40 ans Résultat: rien , même pas 1 bougie sur un petit gâteau , dommage. Autres chose: quand vous mangez vos plats, voir vos desserts, c’est désagréable d’avoir l’odeur du canard du voisin!!!

    Music could have been a little lower in volume, and it would be nice to have tablecloths on all the tables, but the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Fabulous wine list with a very helpful sommelier. Couldn't ask for a more wonderful evening.

    Dining at this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Montreal. From the moment that we walked in the door and heard the music we knew we were going to have a wonderful night. The crooner is only there on Thursday night so we were very lucky. We started our meal with drinks and had escargot for an appetizer. So glad that we had a bread basket because the bread was so tasty when we soaked up all the butter garlic from the escargot.  we ordered two different entrées so that we could share. The rigatoni with prawns and lobster bisque sauce was amazing. We also ordered the lamb sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection. we couldn’t leave without dessert. The cheesecake with caramel was different than what we have in the states but so decadent. Last but definitely not least was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He was friendly and he shared many facts about Montreal that we were wondering about. We have been reminiscing about the evening all day. We surely recommend this fine restaurant and would definitely come back.

    La nourriture était superbe. Le service était parfait. Le bruit était excessif.
    Le Pois PenchéResponded 7 days ago
    Bonjour Erwin, Un grand merci pour vos compliments à la cuisine et au service ! Le niveau du bruit le samedi était une anomalie. Vous êtes venu lors des festivités du Grand Prix. La salle devient très animée. Nous nous excusons si le bruit est devenu trop fort. En tout autre temps, le son est beaucoup plus bas, invitant nos convives à parler agréablement. Ce sera un plaisir de vous revoir, Fede Directeur de l'Hospitalité

    It was a full house on a Tuesday night, so we had to wait for quite a while before they even offered us water. The food was decent overall. However: our waiter was a jittery guy who seemed to be out of place there. The other thing was that when the servers were cutting fresh bread for the patrons they did it with their bare hands, hm….
    Le Pois PenchéResponded on June 12, 2025
    Dear Lesia, it seems that the overly busy evening put stress on some of our newest team members. We have shared your feedback with our staff to make sure everyone stays calm and composed—especially in the middle of this week's Grand Prix excitement in Montreal! As for the bread, everyone has been reminded to handle the warm baguettes with a cloth napkin and place the slices in the basket with tongues. There was a faux pas and the clock has been reset. We hope we'll have the opportunity to regain your trust. We'd love to welcome you again. Fede Directeur de l'hospitalité
