This has to be my favorite place in Montreal when looking to dine on a terrace. The only negative (for me) is that their terrace is non smoking. That'll probably a major plus for most ppl though. Honestly, the food and the service is A+ every time I go. I love the live jazz and I love the setting. Great... More

We had lunch here on a overcast but warmish day (for April, anyways). Very relaxing and enjoyable, although I was not impressed by the service. Maybe it was too early in the season for the staff to be polished. We were asked to be reseated for no reason. Normally not a problem, but then 5 minutes later another party was... More

Food is ok, but the summer terrace is unbeatable with their live music in the evenings. Great for after work drinks or pre-dinner ones.

This quaint place fits perfectly with it's surroundings, it was truly meant to be and has the perfect location in the centre of Old Montreal. The outer structure is reserved but the inside is something completely different that what you imagine. Casual seating, no roof perfect for a summer day with a live 3 piece light jazz band that we...

Location, location, location. In the heart of Old Montreal, a back terrace bubbling with life. No better way to spend a nice summer day.
