A great decision! We had a wonderful experience with Chef R, his staff and the guests. Incredibly knowledgable and skilled in his craft. Pairings were excellent and the cuisine was unique and off the cuff embodying Montrèal’s unique culinary scene. Overall a great experience that I highly recommend. Chef was also very responsive to those with dietary restrictions and made the right calls in terms of catering to myself and significant other.”
