Absolutely lovely experience. It was our Thanksgiving tonight (means nothing to Canadians), but the meal was as special as you would expect on a holiday. Fabulous smoked trout and cheese and pate appetizers, a beautiful scallops and pork belly plate, a roasted bison rack; and a perfectly spicy Spanish wine to compliment the meal. The service was both formally impeccable and warm. Quality.

come here for a good night with friends and chances are you're going to enjoy yourself.
i enjoyed the wine cellar atmosphere and they did these funky things with edison bulbs and lab beakers and flasks.
we were only in for drinks and wanted to get a good sampling, so we asked the sommelier to build us a flight and after a little dialog we had an array of 10 glasses with 2 oz tastings each, and the line up was even prepared moving from lighter to more complex. paired with a dish of sweet bread we were more than happy with our experience. good with with great service.
Asking for more may just be asking too much. -

Had an excellent experience at Accords when I visited Montreal this summer. Our concierge at the Marriott Chateau Champlain recommended this place saying it wasn't too expensive (after going all out at Au Pied de Cochon the previous evening, I was looking to give my credit card a break) and mentioned the wine pairings, and my lady and I were in. When I checked the menu beforehand I was surprised at her definition of "not too expensive," but I have no issues shelling out $ for good food.
As a price measure we skipped apps and started with mains as wine pairings (as others have noted each dish is paired with an accord - classic wine combination, and a discord - a pairing that still works, but its a little funky, meant to get your taste buds working). I would recommend getting half glasses of both the accord and discord (I actually preferred my discord with my fish). The lady got the Surf & Turf, lobster, lobster stuffed pasta and seared sweetbreads (she liked the sweetbreads until I told her what they were [mistake!]). I got the Pomo Dore, seared pike w/ tomatoes, clams and mozzarella.
Both dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly composed. The broth in my fish was superb, and the wine pairings really brought my food to a new level. I must admit, though I dine out quite often, I was never much for wine pairings, thinking concept a bit contrived. After Accords, I'm on board.
At the (excellent) recommendation of our waiter we shared the San Domingo Dingo, a chocolate and cherries dessert w/ black forest ice cream that was expertly paired (thanks again, mr. waiter) with a delicious dessert wine. All in all, a great experience. Fresh food, clean flavors, pretty plates and good service. Ambiance on the outside terrace was relaxing, romantic and not too pretentious. A great date night/white tablecloth place in Montreal to counter funkier spots like Garde Manager and Au Pied Cochon. -

I had a really lovely experience here. The space is interesting, the food was exceptional, the presentation was exquisite overall.
In addition to the impressive wine list, each dish has two recommended wines as accompaniment. One is complimentary in a traditional way (accord) and one is complimentary in a less typical more unique fashion (discord). I particularly liked the fact that you can order a half glass of each.
My companion and I shared two small plates and four half glasses of wine. Everything was delicious and I particularly liked the less traditional pairing for each dish.
The service was exceptional. The servers were very knowledgeable and just attentive enough to compliment the atmosphere and ambiance. I would not hesitate to return. -

The hotel staff raved about this place saying it was not too expensive and was French food with Quebecois uniqueness. It is located in old Montreal and although the reviews raved.. I thought it was just d'accord. The place is posh.. and the wait staff reflects that. They had a snobby air about them where they seem like they are mad at you if you don't want to order a whole bunch of wine.
Tried the crab appetizer since all the other appetizers that we wanted were out. It was good.. no way was it worth $18. Then we each had one of the main courses. He had the pig.. unfortunately, it was so saucy.. covered up the real taste of the food. I had one of the stews.. bone marrow.. no sauce at all.. opposite dishes. The redeeming part of the meal was dessert. We got some sort of cream that was good and served in a mason jar.
Didn't thank us.. didn't even say bye. I think I could go somewhere else.. the food isn't all that. -

Amazing location, fabulous terrace and wonderful service (not to mention, a rockin' wine list. ) Loved this place so much during my last visit that I went twice: once for lunch and once for dinner. The fish was cooked to perfection and the desserts were out of this world. One of the nicest terraces around.

We went here for their excellent wine selection and weren't disappointed. If you love French food, you'll love their ox tail offerings. The decor here tells you they are serious about their wines, wooden cabinets full of wine. The menu has a rouge priced at $700! Excellent place for a date but be sure to review the menu beforehand unless you're accustomed to eating French food.

Went here in July with colleagues; was surprised it was not listed on Yelp! So, this is my first time to add a new restaurant for others to discover. The food was excellent. And the star of the experience was the unique approach of dual wine pairings - one which is an expected match (the accord) and an unexpected match (the discord). Everyone enjoyed their food, the staff was quite cordial and the wine was, indeed, a nice fit to the culinary experience. Check this place out and be one of the first Yelpers to see what you've been missing.
