This place is VERY special. Small but intimate, effortless cool invested in the decor (ape skull x-rays hung on lightboxes on the walls, brick, industrial lampshades), and absolutely sublime food.
To understood how good it is, they once opened for breakfast a few years ago and served astounding dishes, like eggs in sunflower oil/milk and curry cakes, and the place was MOBBED by patrons. The owner/chef couldn't handle the load so he went back to lunch/dinner only.
I would say this place probably rotates in the top three French restos in the entire city. -

I went here with a group of 5 people for dinner on December 30th, and while it may have been a quiet night due to the holidays, this was absolutely one of my favorite food experiences.
We had incredible service from our very knowledgeable waiter (Pascal?). When one of our guests asked to substitute a side, he graciously asked that she try it first as it was meant to go with the dish, and if she did not like it, he would bring her something else. A very diplomatic approach to a common situation (and she loved it).
We lingered for 3.5 hours, and never felt rushed. Our waiter was also kind enough to split our check up without us even asking (even dividing a shared appetizer and a couple of bottles of wine among all of us). That would NEVER happen in NYC. I was truly impressed.
Amazing service, cozy yet refined ambiance, and delicious, straightforward food.
I will definitely go back next time I am in Montreal. -

Good but expectedly expensive French 'nouvelle' cuisine. Service is a bit slow. Place is a bit cramped. But the open kitchen runs the show, and everything I tasted there was very, very good. With less audacity than Le Cinquième Pêché, though.

This is a teeny tiny restaurant, situated right next to the Soupe Soup on St. Viateur. It is charming and cozy, with somewhat bizarre artwork (x-rays of monkeys?).
The menu is simple French fare -- two different types of steak, lobster sausage and duck risotto, and of course, fois gras and ris de veau. It has an open kitchen, and dessert and wine options listed on the blackboards. I saw one vegetarian option listed. Definitely not a place for large groups -- when we went, it was mostly couples eating there.
The service was excellent, and the food was cooked perfectly. I had the bavette, which was very tasty, and had a bit of my husbands filet, which had hazelnuts on top -- which I didn't love, but the meat was cooked well. Dessert was fondant au chocolat and ile flotant, both done very well. We started with some amazing baguette from 3M bakery on Mont-Royal -- our server highly recommended visiting there for their pasteries as well, so we will. It was about $50/person (with tax+tip) for our meal.
I love this place for an intimate french dinner in our neighborhood, it was worth the money!
