  • Important...Yelp has this categorized incorrectly. The cuisine is not French, but French/African Creole and is one of the most unique dining experiences I've ever had. I was visiting Montreal for the weekend, and by sheer luck I discovered this GEM. I live in New York City, and consider myself quite the foodie. I have a policy in NYC to not repeat restaurants, since there are so many and so many that I still have to discover. If Le Piton was in NYC, I would be in this restaurant every other week...that's how incredibly good it was. To start, I loved the ambiance. The music was good, audible but not too loud. Lit perfectly, and the decor made me feel like I was visiting an island paradise. Next, the owner himself, Jean Pierre, was our host and waiter for the evening. He's a very pleasant and amicable man, who, even though I spoke not the slightest bit of French, was ever so gracious from the very beginning. He spoke very good english, important for a tourist Gringo like myself. Important to mention...the restaurant is BYOB. This is very good for keeping the cost down. Try to bring a nice white to complement the spices. There is a convenience store across the street, but it's wine selection was limited at best, so if you can, plan ahead and bring a nicer bottle you have lying around. A good sweet white or a Nouveau or a nice Lambrusco would really go well witht he subtle spices in the food. The food...amazing. Menu is prix fixe and very reasonably priced. I started off with a salad that was unique, light, but sweet and delicious. I then moved onto the octopus. This was the most unique and saporific octopus I'd ever had. Was not rubbery AT ALL, a first for me. I highly, HIGHLY recommend trying it (Jean Pierre confessed later that it's his favorite too). Not tried was the shark, though this is the other specialty of the house, so I trust that it must be good. Jean Pierre has been meticulous in putting together his restaurant, and everything fits together beautifully. The menu is one of the most amazingly crafted menus I've ever experienced. Jean Pierre sticks to the mantra of doing a few things, but doing them better than anyone else. If you are in Montreal visiting...go to this restaurant. If you live in Montreal...go to this restaurant often. You will not be disappointed.
