Good for its neighborhood

Not a destination restaurant by any means, but a fair mix of price and quality for its neighborhood. Price point is about average for the area. The menu isn't large, but the food had some creativity. Good desserts. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Those who commented about small portions have a point. We had main course + dessert, could have had an appetizer also. The place is... plus

Memorable birthday celebration!

Had a great time and a very romantic birthday dinner with my wife at les Racines. Service was excellent and food was top notch. Only complaints were minor and related to portion sizing (too much foie gras in relation to bread on the plate, but the foie gras was excellent and how can you complain about having too much of that!).

Very pleasant discovery

The food was tasty, nicely presented, original ingredients, attentive service, very pleasant atmosphere. The lunch menu is reasonably priced at $20 that includes an appentizer and a main course with several interesting choices. We will return.

Although the menu had a limited choice the food was very and the service excellent.

Qualité

Toujours aussi bon, la qualité est au rendez-vous, Le boudin noir avec des petites pomme de terre un délice. La bavette de veau un régal. Malgré le changement de la formule de menu (3 choix dans 3 colonnes), c'est maintenant un menu standard comme la concurrence (2 choix dans 2 colonnes) + dessert. La grosse différence depuis ce changement ... le service est plus lent pour les plats !!

I expected the food to be a bigger "wow'' for the price.

Parisian Look, refined Food

Dark wood, sleek yet cosy vibe.very friendly and informative wait staff. Great food. Had a delicious lobster appetizer and scallops with braised endive and apricots. The brownie with passion fruit sauce was a decadent finish to a fabulous meal and experience.

food, not music

The food and service were wonderful. I wish (and this is an ongoing issue in Montreal) that the music would be tasteful for the ambience. Our server suggested a great bottle of wine that I would have never chosen- thank you. I well definitely be back.

Bon restaurant

Le service a été beaucoup trop long même si nous avons indiqué au garçon que nous devions ABSOLUMENT quitter à 13h30... plus

Fascination

Les saveurs, textures, présentation sont toutes aussi fascinantes les unes que les autres. J'y retournerai c'est sûr!

Tapas

The recommended number of dishes is 3 per person and it is certainly enough. The service was friendly and attentive . I had recently been to the restaurant at lunch and when I returned with my wife a few days latter the maitre de recognized me and offered champagne on the house. The dishes are interesting and many raw items like foie gras. It got mixed reviews some enjoyed it very much others... plus

Nothing special about it

Small portions. Hi prices. Lack of flavors. Overall, an ok experience.

Great job

I was not disappointed, tapas style plates, very flavourful the food combination were well put together.

tiny portions

some of the portions were sooooooo tiny, we almost believed that we were being pranked; especially, when you consider the cost of the teeny tiny portions. but, shhhhhhhhhhhh! don't tell the waiters, nor waitresses. They are sooooooooo quick to respond with a rebuddle that I truly believe that they truly believe we bought. luckily, the bread (which was free) filled us up.it's unfortunate because... plus

Wow, I felt so lucky at lunchtime

I eat lunch at the restaurant everyday since the last 10 years. I've tried many places in town, but this one impressed me BIG TIME! The restaurant is beautiful and so is the food and ambiance. For 21$+tx, you have more than you pay for. The food is fresh, well prepared, well served, I liked everything, can't find any fault.... plus
