My party drove for 3.5 hours to visit the beautiful city of Montreal for the F1 Grand Prix weekend. We arrived 15 minutes early, excited for a nice meal. However, we were informed that all reservations had been cancelled at 10am and the restaurant was full, so they could not seat us. Despite our request to speak to a manager or find a solution, we were refused. This lack of respect for their customers was inexcusable. It's not how a restaurant should be run. If all reservations were cancelled, they should have contacted their customers. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I never even got to try their food. I do not recommend dining here.

Plus, unlike Old Montreal, there is parking available on the street. Located in Longueuil, near the metro station on St-Charles street, I tried the lasagna and it was delicious. The service was quick and polite. While there was nothing particularly innovative, everything was well-executed. One of the best restaurants in Longueuil in my opinion.

Every single item that was served to the guests was generous and super delicious. Hats off to the chef! Thank you for creating the perfect Christmas party!

Some items like the calamari gave the impression they had been stored in the freezer and then deep fried, as it lacked taste or seasoning.
