We took our entire family here on our first night in Montreal on vacation. We didn't know exactly where to go, so we walked around near Notre Dame. This place is somewhat hidden in a small alley, but there is a sign out front.
The place is very nice inside. As far as being kid friendly? It is more like a date night place type-ambiance with candles and dimly lit interior, but sure. The staff is very good with the kids and don't mind accommodating them. Our waiter was a nice young gentleman who spoke great English.
My husband ordered the bison burger. It looked so delicious, so I tried a bite. It was delightful! I've never tasted anything so juicy and tasty. I ordered the Puttanesca. It was good and fresh, but they gave me very TINY clams and small portions of shrimp. It was also supposed to have capers on it, but I don't even recall seeing any capers in my dish. I should've ordered a Bison dish. After all, that is their specialty.
My kids are picky, so we requested only buttered pasta for them. "The best" they ever had. I should hope so, since we paid $12/plate for just butter and noodles.
Overall, wonderful service and decent food.
