Pineau - Montréal

The menu is large and the plates are very well presented and with lots of flavors and beautiful mixtures. It's a very refined restaurant. lacks a pleasant atmosphere but with friends we had fun. a good bottle of wine for $50 with several choices. Too bad it was a friend's birthday and the restaurant had no candle. Maybe you buy it!

This is a fantastic new restaurant with a creative menu. We have dined at Pineau twice since its opening and will return for sure. The gnocchi and halibut dishes were among the very best and the small plates, including the calamari and beet and kale dishes were also excellent. William picked the perfect wine to go with our meal and the service was top notch. The cocktails were inventive and delicious. Next time we will try the tasting menu. This restaurant will soon be ranked among the best in Montreal. Don't wait, just go now.

We were looking for a gourmet experience and found it. Creative, flavorful inspired food was gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat. Our party consisted of two kids 11 12 and four adults. We were surprised to find items the kids loved like shrimp and halibut both highly recommended for all ages. Apps like the roasted eggplant and the carrots with sesame were so good plus the carrots looked like a piece of art. The roast pork was delicious and beautiful with some unexpected flavors as were all the desserts. Some of us had the pulled duck which was the least successful dish out of all our dinners since the duck was overpowered by the bbq sauce and lost its “duckiness”. We would have done the tasting but with kids it was too limiting. That seems like the most economical way to try the variety of dishes or go in a larger group and everyone get something different.

Service irréprochable, bouffe incroyable, expérience mémorable.

Just one of the best meals of my life. They were somehow not busy at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, but we were lucky when they become known they explode! Really incredible food, every bite was more impressive than the last, and also fantastic cocktails. The Rum Punsch was the best rum drink I ever had. Nice server too. A little laissez faire and took a while to get their attention to the end, but our server was hanging with friends at a big table next to us who gave as not crowded they were understandable. Noise was a little loud at times given the 12 tip next to us, but their energy was charming and not insulting. Overall really a suberb meal and one has to go when in Montreal. A fair price for value, and the natural wine somehow recommended nicely paired with the duck/FIG, eggplants, rock steak, cod and pulled desserts I don't know how but it worked. Desserts fantastic also, and the dessert wine recommended for the poached pear dish was only on the edge of the offensive sweet for us, but somehow simply worked. Again a jewel and a must try when visiting Montreal, or for locals, of course.
