Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Old Montreal

Excellent food and service. The staff was really warm and welcoming. I enjoyed every single meal and will definitely go back.

Lovely restaurant. We were there on a very cold day and coming from the outside into a warm, cozy, modern place felt amazing. We were offered a coat check, which was mind blowing for an American. We had reservations and we were seated right away , nice little table by the window. The restaurant was busy, lots of people enjoying themselves sipping wine and having conversations, so it was noisy, but in a good way. Our waitress was really attentive and pleasant. Food was great. I tried the bone marrow pasta, tasted delicious, but too much for me, and portion wise and “ too fatty “, in a good way though, I took it to go. My son really enjoyed it later. He also loved his NY steak. Amazing experience. I would totally come back and recommend.

Here's the revised review with a brief mention of the table placement: We recently dined at Anemone to celebrate a special occasion: my husband’s birthday and our first wedding anniversary. Overall, it was a delightful evening with some of the best food we’ve had in a long time. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavors. The temakis were so good we ordered them twice, and my husband absolutely loved the gnocchi, calling it one of the best he’s ever had. The ris de veau dish was a standout for me—it was my first time trying it, and I was thoroughly impressed. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and truly a testament to the kitchen’s skill. The only slight downside was our table placement. We were seated next to a utility closet, which took away from the ambiance at times, but the amazing food and attentive service made up for it. Overall, we had a fantastic evening and will definitely return to enjoy more of Anemone’s incredible dishes.

The main entrance of the restaurent brings a lot of cold draft in when someone gets in or out. The satelite radio is a major downer of ambiance, especially with the commercials between songs. Food is amazing, service was OK but we felt like we were bothering or that we came in too late. Might be just me, but I had a bad vibe.

Best tasting menu we have in a long time. They catered the menu to our restrictions without question. Great team here. Amazing night to celebrate my spouse's 60th birthday. Thank you for the hospitality.
