Restaurant Il Martini in St-Bruno-de-Montarville

Meal: very very salty lobster ravioli. Ambiance: the one who seemed to be the manager was talking so loudly with our neighbor that it was impossible for us to have a conversation. Service: I was fortunate enough to have a gift card for an attractive amount and when paying the bill, the waiter concluded that the difference between the value of the meal and the amount of the gift card was equivalent to the tip - for the principle, I would have liked to decide for myself if he deserved it!!

Always discovery, always surprised. It s the best Italian restaurant in and near Montreal. The tastes are typical Italian. Highly recommend, especially the snapper dish. Taste it. Parking: Behind the restaurant

Wow, wow, wow. A restaurant like no other! A warm atmosphere, impeccable service, and I would even say of a high level! A family business and what can I say about the cuisine I opted for the veal parmigiana, which was perfect, and a starter of beef carpaccio accompanied by young pears dipped in truffle oil imported from Europe. I can assure you that it was an exceptional experience!

Like a previous comment, it is clear that the regulars are privileged compared to us (who went there 4 times a year) and its a shame because it was our favorite restaurant!!! The other tables around were served before us even though we had arrived well before. An hour before they took our order of starters, meals and drinks... while the two servers in our section carefully carried the 3 other tables around us. The meal (veal il martini) was ordinary (tasteless) despite being tender. Thats all. Normally we have 2 drinks each, two desserts and coffee, but not this time. A total disappointment.

Such exceptional service Excellent Cuisine Whether its fish or pasta or others Sommelier service A warm restaurant

I really want to highlight the lack of professionalism on the part of the servers at this restaurant. For many years, for my partner & I it was often a meeting with friends and everything was perfect, we felt really appreciated. This evening, total disappointment especially since it was for our birthdays. In my opinion, it seems that the regulars are privileged over us and its a shame because it was our favorite restaurant!!! The meal on the other hand was excellent. Its not my habit to comment and criticize!!

We have been a few times, the service is very good and the terrace is very nice, the food is not up to par with the place.

A great discovery we made this evening. Exceptional atmosphere, service and taste. We will return there for sure Dietary restrictions: They changed the sauce a little for my dish since I cant eat garlic. And this without me even asking, it was their suggestion following a question from me.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the exceptional service received from the establishment during my last visit. I mentioned to the waiter that I had a time issue (dinner) and if it was possible to speed things up. Very understanding waiter and kitchen, excellent quality of service and authentic, good quality pasta. Very happy with my experience. To recommend without problem

Very good restaurant and charming owners. Highly recommended

Alright

The environment is elegant, the service is first-class, and the food is exquisite. I like it here. We will go again next time we go to mont-brono.

Perfection !!!

Went on a Sunday evening. We ordered a table dhôte menu and an a la carte menu. Creamy liver mousse, exquisite gravlax, tender squid, pasta with clams and white wine served hot and clams in their shells, perfectly cooked Quebec lamb, caramel creams with a beautiful texture. Generous portions. Attentive service. Warm decor, reasonable distance between tables (your neighbor wont be able to eat from your plate) and tablecloths on the tables (a rare commodity today!) In short, we had a great time and had a very nice evening. First time at this restaurant but not the last.

Ive been going to Il Martini for several years, and its a restaurant I know well. I love the atmosphere which gives me the impression of eating in a warm house in Saint-Bruno. In terms of the menu, the quality of the meals is excellent. I always have the same dish when I go there: pasta with clams, white wine sauce Im never disappointed and I enjoy it. My only disappointment: during my last visit, I asked the owner Alexandre if I could have the clam pasta dish as a table dhôte (which had already been granted to me in the past). He replied curtly that no, that was not possible. The way he responded to me was haughty, even impolite. At least Taylors excellent service made up for his superiors rudeness. I will still go back to Il Martini, because it is one of my favorite Italian restaurants

I asked for a decaffeinated cappuccino which wasnt, since I didnt sleep a wink all night! A non-respect of the customer which must be reported!!!

Happy coincidence, great discovery! chic and tasteful, excellent cuisine. Impeccable service. Many thanks.

Last Saturday we went to eat For my 70th birthday. the service was terrible, the waiter didnt know his menu, he didnt come back to see if everything was okay, my pasta was soaked in tomato juice (too much water) in short, very bad experience

Delicious with all the service and respect you deserve as a customer

Danny and his team never disappoint. Service was excellent and the food even better!

Great food and service

We went for Valentines Day and were quite disappointed with our experience. I can live with the fact that the decor is really outdated but the quality of the food really wasnt up to par and for the price, thats a big drawback. We wont go back there. We ordered fried squid as a starter. These squid were really poorly made. The breading was way too abundant and they served it to us with a COLD arrabiata sauce!? I ordered the lobster ravioli. It was good but nothing more. I have eaten this type of dish elsewhere and it was something else entirely. Here, the ravioli were barely stuffed a millimeter by two cm at most . Really cheap! My girlfriend ordered the veal parmigiano, it s her favorite dish. It looked like the veal had just been thawed, that they put diced tomatoes on top with some cheap grated cheese. It was spongy and really not very good! The first time we made it at home, it was already 100x better! We wont be returning to this restaurant... its very wannabe fancy but execution wise, its really a failure. For the price we paid, it was a steal

A cosy ambient with a professional service, good menu an easy access.

It was amazing and i will be there again soon for sure

Excellent meal, good portion, very reasonable price for this type of restaurant. Beautiful terrace. The only downside was that we were invaded by bees.

Unequivocally one of the best restaurants in Saint-Bruno for the quality of the food, the atmosphere, the welcome and the service

First visit, disappointment. In a wheelchair, forget it. The bathrooms are cluttered with decorative furniture that blocks the passage/patio doors to store. fettuccine alfredo, no flavor/veal too thin/cafeteria cake.

Really excellent food, very fast and courteous services.

Thank you to the whole team for having a wonderful gastronomic evening. Keep it up!

The food is okay except that the service is too long.

Wow!! Place with wonderful character, beautiful outdoor terrace and what can I say about the food, its excellent!! Its been a really long time since Ive had a culinary experience like this!! We come away with a bill thats not too bad for the quality of the dishes served!! I will definitely come back! :)

Great place ! Great food. Great Patio and ambiance!

Excellent

We were a group of 10 people. Tasteless food, everyone added salt to their plate. Disappointing will no longer return as a group.

Beautiful atmosphere, restaurant located in a beautiful period house with outdoor terrace. Excellent food. In my recommendations, to visit Parking: I think the restaurant parking lot is being renovated because it was blocked off. I think they are redoing the asphalt.

Classic decor. The veranda wow! Terrace overlooking a fountain! A restaurant that remembers the table service standards that I appreciate. Established and mature clientele. Different and sought-after menu! Very good value for money. Were going back and doing the drive because its worth the trip! Vegetarian options: Several choices available.

Very nice place, the warm atmosphere combined with the courteous and friendly services adds to the pleasure of sharing an excellent tasty and tasty meal with my love. Wonderful experience in every way. Were going back there for sure.

One of my favorite restaurants Price, service, food, hard to beat

Pleasant atmosphere on the terrace, courteous and discreet service.

I advise against it!

The terrace is very pleasant! I had high expectations looking at the menu, but unfortunately I was disappointed in the value for money of the main course. However, the portions are generous and the cocktails are very good! Kid-friendliness: There is no childrens menu, but they do half portions. There are high chairs.

I have the impression that there is more inventive Italian cuisine. And it seems to me that the dishes are less tasty than 2 or 3 years ago. The decoration is now really dated. A facelift everywhere would do good

Great experience from beginning to end. Superb food, atmosphere and service. Very highly recommended.

Value for money is fair. On the other hand, the young man at reception may not be the right person for this place. Looking stupid and smug.

Indeed, while restaurateurs complain about people who do not respect their reservations, the young man (sommelier) at reception should have been grateful that we showed up instead of being unpleasant and very smug because we were missing 2 people . Customer service and courtesy training would be required for this employee. On the other hand, the waitresses at the table were pleasant and alert.

Varied menu, very good taste, very good wine list.

If you like good food this is the place to go. A smiling welcome, staff who love their work, a large dining room, a veranda for a small group, a second floor for a group, and when the temperature permits a beautiful large terrace outside. a little expensive, a nice wine list, etc. Still as good this evening 07-20-2022. Great service with all the staff Parking is not always easy... enjoy your meal. Very well eaten this evening... oysters and kidneys... a delight

Its not what it once was. The manager Dany does not seem to be in too much control of his young successors in the service unfortunately. Im sad to have ruined a good memory by going back.

One of the best restaurants In St Bruno!!!

Very expensive for the dishes offered

Everything was delicious and excellent service.

Possibly the lowest value for my money Ive yet to encounter. Local regulars keep this place alive, but it really doesnt deserve to be. I paid 44$ for lamb cutlets..which ended up having maybe 2oz of meat. And they came with PLAIN PASTA. The service and atmosphere are great, but the food is extremely underwhelming and massively overpriced.

Went there for a surprise 60th birthday party with a set menu and the food was really good. We had a private area upstairs which really made the party feel better I suggest their roasted tomato with feta appetizer - it was life changing

Food is basic and depending on the order it can be just fast food taste. The home wines are terrible. The service is really good and the ambient excellent. Food : 2/5

Amazing hidden gem! The food was AMAZING!! Food : 5/5

What a great experience! Warm welcome, impeccable service, sumptuous food! A perfect evening! Thank you everyone!!

A big favorite! The food is divine, my veal escalope melted in my mouth, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere warm! Parking: Large parking lot at the back

Everything is perfect

We appreciated the service and the lobster ravioli but we had roasted and fried squid as a starter which unfortunately was very tough. But we will return. Just check before serving thank you

Great experience this evening. The Icelandic cod was delicious. The spinach, arugula, pecan and parseman salad was very appreciated by my partner Olivier offered us courteous and attentive service. Vasili came to complete the teamwork.

Way over priced $$$ for quality of food. Salad was soggy pasta mediocre Felt very rushed with service would not recommend this restaurant

Plate with very large portions, even salads as starters. Each bite was an explosion of flavors and everything was very fresh. Nice wine list. Impeccable service. One of the best Italian restaurants I have tried and of course I will return there.

Very good service, pleasant staff, excellent food

I want to go back to eat on the exceptional terrace!

First visit and I must say that we appreciated the place, the cuisine and especially the staff, it was a successful dinner. Thank you and see you soon

From the service to the food, everything is impeccable.

I was very, very poorly received by the butler who was smug and very haughty. I am very disappointed and very angry! Too bad I was very excited to taste their cuisine. Blatant lack of flexibility with an approach to blame and mention. This deserves attention. I would like to speak to the owners.

Excellent food! At every meal, I am always happy. Its so good. The veal is fabulous. I always take the gluten-free pasta and they are careful with allergies and food intolerances. The staff is kind and professional. To try!

Super nice terrace with view of the fountain. Table set with white tablecloth and fabric napkins, increasingly rare. Attentive, efficient and professional service. On the other hand, the young girl who serves the table only understands and speaks English, given the lack of staff, you have to understand. Food: big disappointment on my part and that of my guests. Pesto sauce, almost just oil. Sauce accompanying the fish, the indefinable frog legs... pulled pork starter with apple and pear leaves something to be desired. Damage!

We have been to this restaurant several times and the food is always excellent. Everything is good without exception. The squid and manicotti are great and the pastel de nata is one of the best. The service is always excellent, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very beautiful and warm, and in summer the terrace is superb. Additionally, the owner is always present, going around the tables and making sure everything is good and to taste.

Warm atmosphere, excellent service and food

Very good

Well done good food. Beautiful personal atmosphere of very good quality and very friendly. . Well done

The experience was exceptional! The service, the food, the atmosphere was perfect! I add that the portions are generous and the price is fair. In short, a very successful romantic evening with my wife! A special mention to the restaurant for marking an important event for my wife and me. Really, you are wow!

Excellent

The food is excellent but its way too noisy.

Everything we ordered was delicious! Looking forward to the end of the pandemic to go back

Our first outing since the start of confinement in 2020. Excellent service. The dishes have not really changed, and to our great surprise, have not increased in price either. Beautiful large terrace. Courteous service. We never run out of anything, the waiters come regularly to check that everything is ok without disturbing us. The lobster ravioli are the best! Thanks to the server for the little extra with the generous portion of dessert.

My favorite in St-Bruno! Affordable menu, excellent choice of wines, always impeccable service

The service was terribly slow. We had little attention, no one came to remove the plates for the starters. The waiters were surprised when they brought the main courses. We were never brought any bread, so we had to ask a busboy twice. Very disappointing when you expect five-star service, worthy of the prices and reputation of this establishment. Simply ok food. Unfortunate experience.

Excellent service, good food, good wine! Beautiful atmosphere for a romantic dinner (on the glass roof in front)!

My favorite restaurant!! Attentive service and the lobster ravioli are always excellent.

For me, it was simply delicious, ranging from snails in rosé sauce, lobster and shrimp ravioli, ricotta and spinach manicotti with gratin tomato sauce, capresse tomato and fresh mozzarella salad, caramel cream with homemade cake! And all that at the take-out and everything was hot and I dont live that close to Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville! The only problem! Its the bags and all the containers dont were not suitable enough for take-out! Stronger containers and paper bags with handles would have been great! And the other little detail would be to improve the presentation of your capresse salad because usually it is slices fresh tomatoes and slices of fresh mozzarella, not diced, although it was still very good! And the employees were friendly and helpful! For those who decide to eat there, the restaurant is located in an old ancestral house which is superb and inside the dining room is chic and clean and outside there is a beautiful terrace and in front there is a magnificent water fountain that the town of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville has installed and there are very pretty flowers at the entrance of the restaurant! After a nice walk in the old Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville its great! (P.S.: I give you 5 stars but the rating is 4.5 stars would be the right rating!)

Fantastic quality food, staff, and atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable as well

So good and impeccable service, very beautiful and clean... fell in love with this restaurant... THANKS

Excellent service, the dishes are very well presented and the food is of very good quality. Reasonable price.

Great staff amazing food great atmosphere amazing service definitely cheat them out if u have the time there seafood past 100 out of 10 so good

Slow service very good meal

It has the desire and the pretension of being a high-end restaurant but the food is ok but nothing more and the presentation of the dishes is ordinary. The setting including the upper terrace is nice but their entrance/reception halfway between the kitchen and another bar leaves something to be desired. Service-wise, it was good. Overall its still expensive for what it is.

This Friday, August 13, we reserved a table on the terrace for 5:30 p.m. Despite the heat (more than 30 degrees) everything was perfect: courteous and attentive waiter surrounded by an efficient team, beautiful presentation of the dishes, exquisite flavor, varied wine list, what more can we say other than that we were treated to what our waiter called a gift or a nice touch from home. Thank you and see you soon Peter and Grace

Very good choice on the menu and your taste is good. We have to go back.

Wow! The food is exquisite. I have never eaten so good in my life. Il Martini snails: exquisite Lobster ravioli: exquisite Canneloni with ricotta: exquisite Chocolate Tartufo dessert: good! The service is impeccable. As soon as my glass of wine was empty or my glass of water, barely set down, the waiter came to refill it. Atmosphere on the terrace: quiet, pleasant to hear the fountain, intimate Value for money: it s definitely expensive, but the food melts in your mouth! Its worth the price for sure. If you want to spend a most pleasant evening enjoying a good meal, I recommend this restaurant without hesitation. Besides, the owner walks among the customers and is very friendly.

very good service, very good food

Delicious

The food is excellent as is the service

Amazing food the chef must get a raise its overkill.

Very good excellent food

Great food and service

As always, outstanding service and very good food.

I remember delicious and wonderful lobster ravioli, and also a restaurant in need of a little face lift, the carpet is well worn, a brushstroke wouldnt be too much trouble. No problem I tell myself, Ive been trying to call for 2 days to reserve a table for Saturday or Sunday. On the internet and on their Facebook page it says that it is open, it rings but there is no answer and the voicemail says voicemail full. Is it permanently closed??? Well no! I tried it another evening to realize that there is a sign on the balcony saying closed for special events. Please use your Facebook and others in every way, not just to say OPEN. Finally we ended up at Mista next door and found it better.

Civilized and discreet atmosphere. Professional and efficient service. Perfect kitchen. 7 people had a flawless experience yesterday. Thanks Il Martini!

1. The food! Absolutely delicious! Had the escargot and the beet tartare and Im devastated that I ate it all because I would like some more. 2. The service! Everyone was extremely nice and attentive. 3. The owner! He is hilarious!! Super nice too. He came around to the tables and you just felt right at home. Cant wait to go back and take some photos. I ate my food too fast. :/

Always the warmest service!

Very good and good atmosphere. Very kind to customers and we ate well

Cod with pasta really delicious.

Nice place to eat good Italian food. The service is excellent and the food is very good.

Attentive service and delicious food! The cannelloni are perfect.

Sunday & Monday special prices - Table dhöte at between $19 and $29. 3 courses. Really good food, reasonably priced with excellent service and terrific ambiance!

Great food great ambience great service

We eat very well there!

Quality of the place, quality of the service, quality of the dishes always succulent.... good choice of half bottle of quality wine and this for the last fifteen years.... my essential

The take out started today! The meal was excellent, the staff friendly and the chef charming. Lobster ravioli.... Hmmmmm

It was our first time at this restaurant which was recommended to us by a colleague. We ordered take out. Caesar salad, avocado lobster starter, really excellent. The meal, the ravioli very good and the desert was also up to par. Congratulations, excellent meal and value for money.

Up to par as always

Beautiful place, nice terrace and excellent food!

Very good, nice terrace, good food, generous portion.

Decent food, good service, red wine at $70 served at room temperature (23 degrees), not strong. A bit old fashioned as a place.

The best restaurant in Saint-Bruno! Succulent Italian and Portuguese dishes, generous portions, service is always impeccable, warm atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant, beautiful balcony terrace and very good service!

Excellent service and very courteous. Exquisite dishes!!

Super chic, super good. The pasta was just right. The sauce was sublime. A good place to have a quiet meal with your partner.
