Review from Erin D.

We walked in at 10 til 10pm, starving and desperately wanting French food for our first night in Montreal. They told us they could take us if we ordered quickly-- I was afraid that the whole meal would be rushed but they ended up telling us to take our time. They brought out a free tapas plate- sort of a seasoned meatball on top of a chickpea spread-- it was good and helped to tide us over.
For hour devoures we got Crispy Shrimp which had a tasty dipping sauce. For dinner, I had the pan seared scallops over greens and a cauliflower puree. The scallops were perfectly cooked-- I was afraid they might be rubbery. The puree was seasoned very well.
We skipped the dessert and instead had a round of beers.
It was an excellent meal and the waitstaff took care of us well. -

After getting our fix on poutine and crepes, we decided to have a nice dinner out and we found this place. We wanted French food, since Montreal is French influenced. For starters we had the Foi Gras (seared and in pate form), and Escargo. Both dishes were finely decorated and tasted as good as it looked. The chef even brought out fried cod for us to sample, in some type of orange tartar sauce. For an entree I ordered the cheek meat, which came on a bed of mash potatoes, corn, carrots, and string beans, all covered in a gravy sauce. The meat itself was very tender and flavorful. Although the food was good, service and food was very slow (maybe it's because we're spoiled Americans and we want to get in and get out.. Decor was dark and really set the mood except for me finding floaters in my water. Anyways if you're in the area and feeling for some French this place is not too shabby.

We went to Vertige for their Tapas night which takes place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All I have to say was that it worth every penny! Tapas night at Vertige works on a set menu kind of like a table d'hôte, you pick 6 different tapas from the list and share with your friends, your friends also pick 6 from the list. We were 12 so we got to taste every tapas on the menu and every one of them were excellent.
The service was stellar even with a large group all the food came to the table at the same time no one was ever without something to eat or drink.
The ambiance was cozy and warm even if the restaurant was less then filled to capacity since it was a Tuesday night but that didn't matter the place still felt lively and fun, the fact that we were twelve may have played a part in the atmosphere.
All and all this was a great experience and I will be back! If the tapas are any indication of the quality you can expect from the rest of the menu I can't wait to go back on a weekend! Try you'll love it. -

Family occasion, table for 10. Set menu (busy F1 weekend) was superb. Lots of choice.
Service
Service was excellent. Great wine list. Just what you want in a local Brasserie in a pleasant street
Room
Classic modern Brasserie: busy but not too noisy. Starch white table cloths.
Food
Tomato Soup, Salmon Tartare, Bavette de Veau, Chocolate Brut. Classics done well. Only complaint was that fries tasted a bit of old grease and were not crispy.
I would go back. 4 and a half stars. Great evening! -

Very good ambiance. We sat by the large window in the front of the restaurant in a warm evening.
I started with the foie gras, which was divine. As foie gras lovers, my boyfriend and I agreed that this place has one of the best foie gras that we ever had! They served it with a glass of wine that goes with it.
I had a dish with fish with vegetables as my entree that was delicious too.
The service was very good and the waitress was knowledgeable.. -

We went to Vertige after not being able to reserve a spot at Au Pied de Cochon. We arrived at 6 pm and there was not a single soul in there whereas it was packed at Au Pied de Cochon. Should have known. We came here for seared foie gras based on recommendations from other Yelpers. We've eating foie gras in many places, and this is by far the worst!!! It was over cooked and dry. Also, I don't know where exactly they got their foie gras but it was stringy and disgusting. Foie gras is supposed to melt in your mouth, but I just couldn't swallow it. Very rare for me to turn down foie gras, but this is the first time I allowed my husband to eat it himself. We also ordered filet mignon and it was dry. Too bad because the waitress Isabelle was very sweet. Our meal ended up costing $180, after all the taxes. You're welcome, Canada!

Everything was great, but what stood out was the excellent seared foie gras!

After trying to going to pied du cuchon with out a reservation, we ended up here since it's right next door. Had the duck confit brick, which kinda had an Asian flair, it looked similar to an egg roll and had sweet and sour sauce... but it definitely tasted much better than an egg roll. The beef carpaccio, which was very clean and fresh. For entrees we had the sea scallops which were perfectly cooked, and the Duo of Foies gras and Sweet breads which were deliciously rich and fatty!

They have one of the best Foie Gras I have ever had (prepared on site)(Should be accompanied by a glass of Sauternes; strongly recommended). The atmosphere is usually pleasant, in a cozy decor that will make you feel at ease within seconds. I have been there twice, and I really enjoyed the food and overall experience both times. I strongly recommend this place.
