| - A good restaurant should feel like an orchestra, where every instrument and player comes together in harmony, together creating something more amazing then the sum of its parts. Although keste has some great high notes, the overall experience lacked a real sense of harmony, leaving us a little disappointed.
First, the good. Well, the highest compliment must go to the pizza crust, which was absolutely delicious. Thin, crisp, cooked to perfection, it truly was the highlight of the night. I typically never eat the crust endings, but actually had them here. The variety of pizza toppings was also great, with options like eggplant, ricotta, spicy arrabiatta, and many more. Another very positive note, was how easy going the staff were about us having a baby. They even made it a point to emphasize that they are a family restaurant, which was very nice. The ambiance was also quite enjoyable.
Now, for the not so good. Well, despite the pizza dough being delicious, the pizzas were just okay. It's like the remained of the pizza toppings didn't compliment the dough as it should to elevate it to the next level. Moreover, the prices were quite steep, especially compared to other top Montreal pizzerias. Given the higher price point, we expected more.
So it really depends on what you're looking for to know if keste is right for you.
