About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Chef Chuck Hughes and Chef Christopher Merrick collaborate to offer a mind bending experience at this Old Montreal landmark. Over the top tasting menus in a supremely unique historic building, complimented by outstanding service, an unparalleled atmosphere and deep, notable wine selections.

*Please note that we have a full bar permit, which in Quebec means NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ALLOWED.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Christopher Merrick

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a scene at this small but lively restaurant in Old Montreal from Iron Chef America winner Chuck Hughes. A massive, ornate chandelier frames an all-out meal where you can order a seafood tower, lobster agnolotti, and hangar steak in onion sauce, all served in a cozy, old stone building. Or let the chef decide and pick from four to seven courses for a memorable night out.

    A specialist sea-food restaurant, with a high-end reputation. It did not disappoint at all. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, and clearly work well as a team. The food was unimaginably good - perfectly prepared, beautifully presented and a delight to eat. An extensive wine-list is expected - and provided. Do not miss this gem of Montreal.
