Restaurant Carte Blanche is owned by French chef, André Loiseau who really knows what he is doing. In creating his menu, in preparing his delectable dishes, and in selecting his hospitable waitstaff (Geneviève is a gem), both his knowledge and skills in the restaurant business are more than apparent. On a recent visit (our sixth, at least) we enjoyed appetizers... More

I went for the first time at the Carte Blanche with my spouse for dinner. We both enjoyed the Valentine's special dinner and we were very pleased with our meal. The lobster bisque was simply amazing. For the main course we tried the poached fillet of arctic char and the braised veal cheeks with risotto ; our preference for this... More

The restaurant itself was lovely with good ambiance and very good service. The meal selections were excellent as well as well priced. I started with the lobster bisque which was tasty, well seasoned and fragrant. I ordered the beef topped with fois gras for my main and finished with a shared "gastronomic" triple dessert of chocolate lava cake, creme brulee... More

Dear customer, I do remember very well your group. We are sorry you have been disappointed of what seems to be everything in your meal. Especially because all details that did not suit you were immediately handled. As professionals, we do take customer service very seriously. Your requests were handled by me, the owner -not a waiter. I am surprised... More

We took my visiting family here, and we couldn't stop talking about it! It's rare that everything comes together to create a special evening - food, service, ambiance - but Carte Blanche surpassed my expectations. We actually chose it because it was highly rated on TripAdvisor...a good strategy. I started with the mushroom ravioli, with a hint of truffle oil... More

My husband and I had a lovely meal here. The menu was enticing, the food was delicious, the service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was casual yet sophisticated. It's outside the nearby main "strips" of restaurants and tourist areas. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice relaxing dinner in Montreal. More

My friend and I chose this restaurant for our New Years dinner. I called ahead of time to reserve our table and was told that this is a set-price meal. The owner/manager asked if I had looked over the menu on the Internet. I said I hadn't and cannot because I am driving. She summarized the menu for me and... More
