Outstanding. My review had to start with that single word. We were in Montreal for the Formula 1 race and of course on Saturday night reservations throughout the city were impossible to get. Our concierge at the W talked with the lads at Le Bremner and worked some magic to squeeze us in to the bar area.
We loved it. The bartenders concocted some exceptional cocktails based on Le Bremner's in-house syrups and the wine list was thoughtfully selected and had some great options. We had some oysters to start with some excellent fresh made relish. My wife raved about the salmon and crab main dish she had while I enjoyed a lamb salad which was fantastic. Of course no fine meal is complete without dessert and we had the tastiest beignets which I washed down with a cold coffee martini. the experience was fantastic all around. The staff were young and hip but energetic, friendly, fun and most of all very talented. The atmosphere is great from the minute you walk in (if you can find the unmarked downstairs street entry).
I highly recommend Le Bremner and wish them all the success in the world. If we are ever back in Montreal, we will stop in again.
