Atmosphere review insights for Quebec, Canada, Restaurants

4.8/5? No idea how that's possible. We arrived at 5:35 PM. We were told they opened at 6:00 PM. (It says 5:30 PM on the door and on Google). Upon returning, no one at the counter. We could see people behind the kitchen doors. Even other customers tried to get attention and no one came out. We ordered on the machine, but the menu was not the same as at the counter. No curly fries, and misleading AI photos. No one came out until the food was ready. I ordered an extra 2 chicken tenders, I was told it was in my burger... With chicken. The extra mac n cheese tasted like water... We will not be returning. No music or ambiance.

Absolutely unacceptable service! The cashier, a dark-skinned girl, was extremely rude: she rolled her eyes, responded with irritation and clearly showed that the customers were bothering her. I expected at least minimal respect, but instead I received rudeness. If the management does not monitor the quality of service, is it worth coming here at all? Very disappointed, I will never set foot here again!

Bad experience. The food was bland. I ordered a tuna salad and the tuna tasted like cardboard. My friends ordered French onion soup and all three of them got sick. On the other hand, the crème brûlée and the millefeuille were good. The fries were very greasy and no one finished their meal. Too bad because the setting is beautiful, but the restaurant does not meet expectations.

Actually the worst... I was so excited for this brunch as I am VERY obsessed with brunch. I have been to several brunch places in my area that are by far better than this place. "Cool" ambiance clearly over hyped. I don't go to restaurants for the mood but the food. My food came cold, the service was absent. My cappuccino was the worst cappuccino I have had in Canada so far. So expensive for what the food was, i had classic eggs, potatoes and pancake. It was actually the worst I've had, out of all the other places I've tried. I'm so disappointed in this place I've taken the time to write this review. I can't believe people actually line up for hours on the weekend to eat here.

After reading good reviews for this Ethiopian restaurant, we were excited to check it out! Here we go: The Maître d'hotel awaits you in some kind of 'glass cabin' inside the restaurant, something I have never seen anywhere in my whole life, quite interesting I must say. Felt a bit like ordering tickets at the train station, but no, let's just get a table in this blue lit - with white seats furnished établissement. For an African restaurant, I found the atmosphere cold. The waterfall on the wall and the distant techno music didn't help, you feel like you are stuck somewhere in the 80ies. The waiters didn't offer apperitives nor did they explain the exotic dishes or how to properly eat them. Actually, they were quite cold, too. The plates with little rolled-pancakes (nobody explained what they were, or what to do with them, unfortunately) looked good - but only so much in this cold surrounding. Taste wasn't exceptional, a lot of lentils and pois chiche without much of an oomph. Honestly, I found that a little overpriced, but ok. Drinks and wine made sense. Still, we came for the food, but it was somewhat dull and didn't taste much. Just because you eat these rolls with your fingers (what some ppl might find adventurous) doesn't make this restaurant a great restaurant! I mean, not for us... not going back there.

After reading the reviews we had high expectations of this place. Food is definitely not the best Italian like some say. Having traveled in Italy, I know for a fact that this doesn’t come anywhere near to the best Italian cuisine. The lamb was overcooked and dry. All the dishes were prepared simple without standing out. I expected much more for the money you are paying. Service is very mediocre at its best. The decor is OK (therefor 2 stars and not 1) Having tried many restaurants in Montréal I wouldn’t recommend this place. It is better to spend your money somewhere else.

Big YIKES. My partner and I (visibly queer) walked into this restaurant after looking up good French restaurants and seeing their menu. We went inside and right away were thrown off by the weird energy. There was one table yet the waiter had to go do a loop to go to if he could seat us. After seeing all the reviews about the blatant racism it makes sense as it was giving homophobia. Save your money and walk down the street to Weinstein and Gavino’s— immaculate vibes, immaculate service. Ask for Sebastian— you’re welcome!

Review rating: 1.0

This place is beautiful and historic. It’s disappointing that the staff are not more friendly and seem indifferent to their patrons. Given the prices they charge for a meal, I expect more effort. I love the location and the decor.
