Loved my time here - we got seats by the counter which gave us a great view of the kitchen. The service staff were fantastic - professional, helpful, and friendly. The food was great with the standouts being the miso oyster (my favorite bite in Montreal) and the honey cake desert. We spent about 300 for two people (including tip) and reservations were required. Will definitely be back next time!

What a beautiful place with the best service/staff! Everything was great, the lobster ravioli with sweetbreads was amazing. The maple syrup square made me think about my grandma’s sugar fudge (delicious). Thank you!!! ☺️

Easily in the conversation for the best restaurant in Montreal… I visit probably 4-6 times a year and it never misses.. The miso gratin oysters ARE the best app in the city, prove me wrong. Staff and service is as strong as the food.

Finally had the chance to try the famous restaurant where you go after your tennis session. It is also a place I highly recommend if your looking for the best service in town and the best variety of fancy plates. Going there, we tried a lot of what is offered on the menu. To start, we ordered the miso gratin oysters. These are one the best things I tried in my life. It is a perfect combination of sweet and sea taste. After, we tried the cold corn soup with foie gras. It was very unctuous and fresh. We then ordered the octopus plate and the wagyu tataki. The octopus was not to squeaky and not to hard, perfectly smooth when we bit it. The wagyu was nothing to special but it was well cooked (medium rare). Moreover, we ordered the linguine plate, the lobster pastas plate and the gemilli pastas plate. All three were amazing. The linguine plate was not as good as the Daily catch restaurant do it but take it if you’re an amateur with this kind of plate. I didn’t really taste the lobster in the pastas but the sweetbreads that comes with it are my second favorite thing I ate between all the plates we ordered. The veel cheek that came with the gemelli pastas was very tender and tasty. Finally, I tried the maple syrup square as dessert. It was very simple but very comforting and not to heavy.

Here for GP weekend and found this gem doing some quick research. Glad I did! Wonderful time with our bartender Steven and great hospitality from everyone else. The food matched their exceptional hospitality and it would be a treat to come again soon. Go and have a great time! Oh and don’t forget the oysters!!!!

Great place to have a dinner. Oysters are a must. I've been here over 10 times now. Everything is very consistent and very good. Reasonable for the price. Service is above average. The staff is attentive and not overwhelming. We had a great white wine which was recommended by the waiter. It was a great match for our dinner. Cocktails are simple and good. Chocolate dessert is my go to finale. Basil ice cream is pretty refreshing. Overall I would recommend this place. It's my go to casual dining without the snobby allure. Go try it out.

Nickel! We had heard a lot about the Filet, and the fact that you have to book well in advance alone indicates the crowds. However, we are treated with seriousness, kindness, professionalism: the place is busy but without haste or nervousness. Pleasure is a serious thing that cannot be sloppy. Beautiful menu, ultra rigorous cuisine with a nice touch of imagination, magnificent wines. A faultless congratulations, we understand the buzz better.

An excellent restaurant which stands out for its menu mainly focused on fish. The octopus starter was succulent, as was the dried ink pasta. It s very fine with sought-after flavors. The service was impeccable at our table, discreet, attentive, organized... rare. Nice selection of wines but much too expensive in my opinion Offering a more affordable list of wines by the glass would be a good idea.

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant and I have to admit that it got to me... - I was still hungry after eating starter + main + dessert because the portions were so small. On the other hand, the flavors were there and the dishes we tasted were really good. - we felt snubbed by the waiter who was visibly more focused on serving the table of girls next door. Even though he gave good recommendations for the wine, he almost poured himself a full glass to taste. Which he quietly sipped during the service... - and the room was still quite noisy, difficult to enjoy a romantic meal. Conclusion: for this type of budget, you can find much better restaurants that will not disappoint you.

The experience at Le Filet was overall good but a little bit underwhelming. The decor is not extremely arranged, it looks pretty simple even if overall is stylish, the staff is nice but on of the waiter a little bit too nosy and pretentious with a patronizing vibe. The food is good but I liked more the started than the main course, tuna tataki vs pork with scallops. Overall we paid around 340 cad (taxes and tips included) for two courses each, a shared dessert and a bottle of red wine, too expensive afor the experience we had but still a nice restaurant.

Evening at the bar. The filet is no longer what it was...the kitchen is losing its feathers in my opinion and the daily specials were uninteresting and poorly balanced. I think classic dishes are a better avenue to avoid losing $500. After mentioning to our wonderful waitress that the dishes had disappointed us a lot, the manager offered us desserts. (which is appreciated but we werent hungry anymore unfortunately.) He seemed a little drunk and our last discussion had hints of arrogance on his part unfortunately. Indeed, we cannot please everyone! In short, a lovely evening which ended with a slight bitter taste.

Absolutely loved the food here and they had a large selection of wine as well. Our group of six spent about $2,000 altogether with three bottles of wine which we thought was very much worth the price for the taste, portions (we ordered about three of each dish/app), quality, and service!

A Montréal gem. A must try. Chef Okazaki builds his dishes with love. Everything was fresh and the flavours were outstanding. The red snapper sashimi was spectacularly light and bright. The oysters were some of the best Ive had in Montréal. You can tell they are particular with their suppliers and that they have good relationships with them. The scallops with ravaoli left me wanting more. I highly recommend the seafood black squid ink pasta (Ill be back for this). The service was second to none. Friendly staff who made it difficult to leave. We closed out the restaurant with them. Thanks for letting us hang! See you again soon!

Friends recommended the Filet to me and I couldnt wait to try it. Before our meal, I looked at the ratings and reviews online out of curiosity, and was a little concerned when I saw the negative comments. But everything was delicious! The service was excellent and the food was fresh and well seasoned. We ordered PE Island Lucky Lime Oysters and they were perfect. I loved the seafood linguine, which was the best seafood pasta Ive had in a long time! The scallops for starters were also soft. Although the cost was a little higher than elsewhere ($400 for two people), we ordered two dozen oysters, an appetizer to share, two main courses and two desserts, as well as three glasses of wine (which were also very good). I will return to this restaurant for a great occasion! only small negative point: I was there with my father and he found the place a little noisy. If youre looking for a slightly more cozy, quiet atmosphere... not sure if its appropriate but the food is worth the detour!

December 22, 2023

This place is a high end scam! Extremely overpriced and the portions won t fill a toddler! And the audacity of the server saying our portions are quite big became a running joke in our group after this dine-in! The staff members were fake as hell, the taste was average that could be made better at several low-end seafood restaurants in montreal at half the price, and the menu was mere 6 dishes! The chefs looked like they didn t even finish high-school let aside a culinary! Please don t burn your money at this place, it will literally like burning your money!!

Food and cooking skills are below par to say the least. I use to really enjoy this place many years ago. Sad to say that the kitchen staff and monitoring of said staff must be revised with attention as someone could get seriously sick (aside from food being objectionable). Food and safety must always be applied - especially with proteins. Service is great.

What a strange place. It s pretty posh looking and people clearly come here to celebrate something, dressed nicely, and the ambience is certainly nice although nothing special. The food positions itself as something worthy of a Michelin star and the presentation is indeed beautiful and creative. Unfortunately, the flavors are just not there and the combinations don t make sense and don t work together. We started with their baked oysters which happened to be the best dish miso glazed, a tad too sweet but really tasty, an excellent appetizer. Tuna tartare was quite good, with a crunchy seaweed cracker, although I felt like there were too many sesame seeds. Then it all went downhill: scallop appetizer was on a bed of gazpacho that didn t quite pair with them and was absolutely forgettable. Black linguini felt like it was a mix of two dishes pasta was already smothered in sauce but then there were pieces of seafood in the dish (clams, squid) that needed some sauce too and it wasn t there. Overall felt dry, but good flavors. Finally, the lobster sweetbread dish same issue as with pasta, just a bunch or different things beautifully positioned on the plate that don t quite work together; I appreciated seeing green pea shoots there but did the tiny bits of sauce go well with it? Not particularly. And did the sweetbread go with any of it? Not really. And did it have enough sauce? Not at all. The overall experience was also tainted by the fact that we ve waited roughly 40mins (!) just to get our appetizers (when I inquired when it s coming the waiter said are you in a rush? ) and then another 30 mins for the main dishes. The table next to us complained about wait times too. The kitchen needs to figure something out or reduce the number of tables. As it is right now, the wait times are unacceptable.

Disappointing... Passing through Montreal and being gourmets, we had read many rave reviews of this restaurant with its atypical and refined cuisine. The setting is completely intimate and chic, despite some stylistic inconsistencies between the decor, the site and the presentation of the dishes. At first glance, the service is very warm and smiling (too much). We ordered two cocktails, for our taste a little poorly measured and very ungenerous (was it my bar experience speaking?). When the dishes arrived, what a disappointment to find the cuisine not very generous in turn, but above all too salty, overflowing with sauce. The food does not come together in the mouth, at least not as we expected from a restaurant of this standing and at these prices. Its simple, amateur cooking that can be found at better prices. Concerning the dessert, it was also a disappointment with a plate that was too sweet, dull in flavors and colors. In the end, we did not appreciate the attitude of our server who, although very friendly and smiling at the start, quickly rushed to finish our service (after 45 minutes of waiting first for the dishes), when he noticed that we were talking among ourselves, and discreetly of course, about the cooking and the methods used. A total addition of more than $150 which would be worth it elsewhere...

With a bill of $255.00.... seriously.....the only positive point the waitress Mme Desloges....thanks for your smile...PS.but not got for $250.00

We really enjoyed the food here, and would come back again. We ordered all the appetizers except the oysters, and also the squid ink linguini and maple syrup square. The wagyu tataki, octopus, and the pasta were our favorites -a lot of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The tuna tartar and the seared scallops were solid. Didnt like the foie gras, was a bit surprised at the lack of flavor. Though to be fair, this is my first time eating it, and Im generally not a fan of things rich in oil and fats. If I had to nitpick, I found the spicy sauce in the squid ink pasta a bit too overpowering, as it ended up covering the ink flavor as the dish progressed. I personally would have liked to taste more of that special ink flavoring. But this is merely minor detail to a fantastic dish. Overall a great and very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Quite honestly, I dont understand the enthusiasm that some people have for this restaurant. Although correctly executed, the dishes are not overwhelming. Considering the prices we would expect more innovation and creativity and also substance. Especially when it comes to fish/seafood (their specialty). Im comfortable spending a lot, even too much $$$ on a dinner at a restaurant, but $328/before service for a dinner for two (with my pregnant partner who doesnt drink) only to find myself looking for another restaurant to get enough sustenance (Thanks to Rouge Gorge) it s how can I put it disappointing!!! I guess the absence of food on the plates is also worth its weight in gold. As for the service, it could have saved the day. Unfortunately no, it was very approximate. Very flat and emotionless. Knowledge of wines and explanations of the menu more than summary. Friendly welcome but nothing more. Atmosphere: what atmosphere? If you want to save that $$$, I really highly suggest: Impasto, Montreal Plaza, Vin Mon Lapin, Cadet, Joe Beef and many others. A table must deliver the goods with similar prices... which is not the case here.

I can not even begin to tell you what a 5 star restaurant this is, from the minute you enter until the time you leave. The food is absolutely incredible and the staff are amazing. Our server was Rebecca and we loved her. She was professional yet so friendly and helpful when it came to helping us choose dishes. The entire staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. Trust me if you want a great night out with the best food this is definitely the place to go. I cant wait to go back.

I like the intimate atmosphere. Professional service, very rare at the moment. We wanted white to accompany the meal. The Chinon is a little bland, the Petit Chablis is a little acidic, in the end we had a glass of Burgundy that was more balanced to our taste. The octopus is well grilled, not rubbery, and very tender in the mouth, with the good taste of grilling. The saffron rice is made with carnaroli, very creamy, melts in the mouth but lasts in the mouth, difficult not to appreciate it. In my opinion, the tomato jam is too much on this plate, a little too sweet, it hides the taste of the octopus. The surprise is the candied lemon slices, excellent to bite into between bites of different elements. The oysters gratin is the best dish of this evening. The breadcrumbs are slightly sweet, just right, they crunch a little, and give a rich texture with the oil cooked to perfection. I loved ! A little disappointed for the dry ink linguini. Because I thought I had dry ink sauce, but actually its paste made with dry ink. But the dish is very good, I like the fact that the seafood is fresh. However there were 2 clams, one of them comes from a 2nd cooking. Im not going to order the veal rice, it wasnt my dish. I didn t like the concept of the slightly watery tiramisu either.

Late night supper. Expecting to be blown away. Got a below average overpriced food. The entry dish (Kampachi) had no harmony in the taste. Everything tasted like seasme. The main dish (seafood pasta) was good. But really nothing out of the ordinary. Our friends got the grilled Octopus as an entry dish... tiny piece I have rarely seen and dry. Service was good. But the food for the price, not there.

A noted and remarkable address not to be missed. As soon as I visit my son in Montreal, I will rush to your place again. Thanks to you, you helped make this moment even more magnificent!!

On the expensive side but some of the selections (kampachi) is very very good with a good selection of wines. We spent a good couple of hours and they brought us a nice candle for our anniversary. Service was good lady spent time explaining us the wine pairings as well as each dish. I d say def one of the best dining experiences in Montreal but More on the expensive side of things.

A trendy and delightful restaurant with sea-centric menu. Must try: 1) 3 x 2 oysters, each pair prepared in its own way (you can chose all 6 to be raw or baked if you wish). 2) Hamachi - such an unusual presentation and versatility of taste notes, I want to be back for eat. Grilled octopus did not disappoint either (though I normally prefer a bit more charred). The bar scene is very fun, I managed to chat with a couple next to me and they were very kind to provide amazing recommendations around Montreal. The service was very nice too.

2nd experience at Le Nett. A long time ago and yesterday. We will start with the service which is fast and impeccable. As for food, we shared everything between two people. We started with oysters 3 variations. It was, in my humble opinion, the only thing that was more or less successful of the evening. I actually liked the fresh oysters, but the cooked ones lost their flavor in the overly sweet creamy sauce. Then everything was excellent , Hamachi sashimi, scallops on risotto, wagyu tataki and octopus. As for alcohol, the drink La Piscine was a perfect aperitif, the sake on the menu is excellent, and the wines by the glass selected are good. Small flaw: Some portions are small for the price.

One of the best restaurant in Montreal. The risotto is memorable, the service was excellent, which made for a great evening. We went with our 3 year old, and they didnt make us feel out of place or judged, they had a booster seat for him and were kind to him. Obviously it is more of a fancy restaurant, but since we celebrated my birthday it was nice to be able to be there as a family. Definitely recommend.

Very happy to have been at Le Nett. Lovely place. Attentive waiter. Very attractive price for the quality and choice of dishes. In fact, each dish had a re-invented side whose tastes blended perfectly. The cooking is also on point. The wine list is also well done. I recommend!
