“ We went here on a whim, and we left knowing we found a gem! The food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. The ambiance was cozy, and our service was above excellent. Thank you again, Nelson! ”
“ Tasty food, great beer, awesome staff :) ”
“ I was very surprised the quality of the food from this neighborhood restaurant. They don't have a very big menu but there foods were all homemade. And everything that we ordered were very delicious and on point. There oysters were super fresh and they shucked very well. There homemade Ceasar salad was very delicious too. Not to mention, the mussels and fries are good too. The cocktails were very good (nothing very special but the prices were very reasonable). We did have a very good time in this restaurant. The only thing that I have to point out is there decorations, there isn't much "ambiance" and it does need a good renovation. I highly recommend this place if you want something not too expensive or fancy but with a good food menu. ”
“ Common folk need not pay a kings ransom for this regal cuisine. A grandiose, succulent, exquisitely cooked beef patty provides consistently superior mouthfuls bite after bite. Majestic as the sauce is; it does not rule outright. Instead sharing power with an equally noble array of seasoning and sumptuous toppings. An establishement deserving of its place among burger royalty. ”
“ If Berghain and Wendy’s had a baby the outcome would be Nouveau Palais. Woof! Danke in all the best ways. Burgers Mac & cheese all the way. Great drinks ranging from beers to martinis. As most of Montreal’s food scene - a must visit ”
“ Awesome comfort food all around. My go to place whenever I’m in the plateau. I was there recently for oyster night - the best oysters I’ve ever tasted!!! ”
“ I really like their burger! Beef is well-cooked and juicy, and bread is perfectly toasted. The salad is well seasoned too (cuz I don’t eat fries so I changed it to salad). The only pity is that Mac n cheese didn’t reach my expectation (or maybe I set it too high). Well...it tasted pretty good, but I think it could be warmer. The dining environment is pretty dark and they don’t have much lights, but it’s not a big deal. The staff is very kind and friendly. Overall, it’s a good choice to have a yum and comfortable meal with friends. They also have many alcohol options, from cidre, bottled beer to strong liquids. ”
“ One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal to which I kept going back for years. The service is professional and courteous. The barman knows the standard and classic cocktails (I love their martinis). I always order their cheeseburger, which never disappoint. I love the atmosphere of the place, it has something very unique, especially late at night. The prices are very reasonable! ”
