TL; DR: amazing food, small charming place, lovely service. Highly recommended! We stopped by this charming little restaurant on whim since we were running errands in the area, and boy, are we thrilled we did. Charming details like adorable salt shakers, clean tables, simple but lovely plates. But wow, the food was absolutely incredible. We had: ravioli (show stopper, tomato base but with a nice sweet tang), gnocchi (with Gorgonzola, rich and creamy), and the tomato and mozzarella salad (fresh and delicious). Generous portion sizes and absolutely delicious all around. We finished it off with tiramisu which was creamy and fantastic. We will be back!!!
Hidden gem indeed! It IS small... Like 8 tables of 2x small. The food that comes out of this tiny kitchen is impressive. I'm so glad to have randomly taken a wrong turn and stumbled upon this place. Owner is super pleasant and it was nice to see that it's not super busy.
Little treasure in Cote de neiges! Owner/cook was very corteous and kind. The arrabbiata was delicious and perfectly spicy. My family had the gorgonzola gnocchi and said it was also great.
This is a hidden gem. They offer delicious food and service. Bonus: The chef is very sweet and kind. We ordered the tomato and mozzarella salad, gnocchi with rosee sauce along with cheesecake and tiramisu. Delicious!!!!! We will be back!
It is a hidden gem, cozy, top quality. It was amazing to see a single man creating all this magic. We had the céleri salad, salmon with zafron sauce and ravioli on sauce rosé. At the end a delicious cheese cake with some tea. I highly recommend this place. Price, quality and service AU TOP!!!
A hidden gem in the Cote-des-Neiges area! The food is delicious, exquisitely presented and always made fresh on the spot. Reza is a genius and always has an inviting and reassuring smile. Everything on the menu is mouthwatering and on days when i'm unable to make a choice, Reza created special dishes. You will never be disappointed!
Wholesome owner and chief, yummy food, cute restaurant!
Wonderful service, delicious food, and a very cosy and homey ambience! We tried the salmon, green salad, tiramisu, and espresso. The chef puts his heart into it. Everything was excellent! Highly recommended!
