This charming and intimate restaurant serves a generous and creative fresh market cuisine, cheerfully prepared by chef-owners Marc De Canck and Olivier de Montigny. At La Chronique, the pleasures of the table are always front and centre. But in addition to the delights it serves up, the restaurant is also known for its extensive wine list, welcoming décor and impeccable service. Little wonder it's been considered "essential eating" in Montreal since 1995.

    Sauf pour le foie gras qui était bon, le poisson n'était pas à la hauteur - fraîcheur, sauce et accompagnement décevants. Quant au service fait sans aucun sourire, nos verres ont été laissés vides à 2 ou 3 reprises sans possibilité de les remplir car la bouteille disparaissait à la cuisine entre les services. Une soirée à oublier.

    A rare place where everything is just perfect, from the amuse-bouche to dessert. Food quality and presentation are outstanding, the latter almost artistic. The wine pairing is highly recommended, as the sommelier really knew her métier.

    We had a horrible experience due to the head sommelier. She was rude and clearly racist. She disrespected us and and was unprofessional. Unfortunately we were unable to dine as such- therefore cannot comment on the food.

    Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback.We take our guests' allergies/dietary restrictions very seriously and create replacement dishes, whenever possible.We message our customers ahead of time to inquire about any requests they may have.When we did,you indicated a restriction with a type of meat.The kitchen was advised,and made the necessary adjustments.When you arrived,we double-checked for any dietary restrictions and only the meat was mentioned.We brought you the wine list, as requested.

    La Chronique is a very elegant restaurant, but it may be in its decline. (Only two tables occupied on a Wednesday evening.) The food is generally good, some fares were exceptional, and others more banal. The wine, however, was outstanding. The service very good yet informal. Expensive.

    La ChroniqueResponded on May 18, 2023

    Good Afternoon, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, it is greatly appreciated. We would like to clarify that it may have looked like a quiet evening on our main floor that Wednesday, but we were completely booked upstairs. The reason why we don't allow many guests on those nights is that we prefer having only a few tables downstairs and sit them more towards the front of the restaurant so they won't get bothered by noise upstairs. Thank you, La Chronique

    Très bon repas avec produits de qualité préparés avec finesse. Les saveurs étaient délicieuses. Mais le service (un peu hautain et désobligeant), l'ambiance (froide et contractée) et la qualité de l'accord des vins (mauvaise température et petite quantité) ne justifient nullement les coûts énormes de la facture finale.

    I recently visited La Chronique and found it to be a really nice place for food and wine lovers. They have an impressive wine list, and their fixed monthly menu offers a good variety of tasty dishes. I personally enjoyed the food, but I have to say, their dessert was the highlight of my meal.

    Plats très délicats et vraiment délicieux. Un petit bémol, j'aurais préféré que le chef mette l'emphase sur un dessert élaboré plutôt que sur un fromage sucré-salé. Le prix reste très élevé (150 CAD le menu sans les vins et 250 pour l'accord vins-menu+ il faut ajouter apéro-eau... taxes et services): une soirée à 2 à 600 CAD (pour 1 menu avec vins et 1 menu sans vin), c'est vraiment cher. Service très agréable et professionnel.

    Bien que la nourriture ait été incroyable, nous avons quitté le restaurant très amer de notre soirée au final. Notre table (bancale à préciser) était servie assez synchronisée avec une table de 6 personnes. Nous étions deux. Nous avons donc eu une attente assez interminable entre certains plats. Entre deux services, nous avons attendu un 10-15 minutes sans pain, sans vin (nous avions le menu accord vins et mets, mais après 25 minutes et un plat, le verre était vide) et sans plat... merci à l'eau pétillante. Ensuite, nous nous sommes aperçus qu'à la table de 6, on remplissait les verres lorsqu'ils étaient vides. Nous avons trouvé très ordinaire que ce traitement ne nous soit pas offert comme nous devions nous aussi attendre. Finalement, à la fin de la soirée, nous avons compris que c'était des amis et que par conséquent, ils étaient mieux considérés que nous. Bref, cette soirée restera la soirée durant laquelle nous étions les clients de seconde zone et donc moins bien servi. Assez dommage pour une soirée d'anniversaire en amoureux... Nous ne reviendrons bien évidement plus parce que pour le prix, c'est vraiment très insultant de voir ce type de service complètement différent selon les personnes assises à une table.
