Cabotins - Montréal

My first visit, but definitely not my last, to this delightful and friendly restaurant!

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday at this creatively decorated restaurant. I decided to try the Mac and cheese, which unfortunately was lacking in flavor, and the burger, which was dry and came with potato chips. The salad that accompanied the burger was also unimpressive. The salmon and duck dishes at the table looked like they would have been better choices. Despite the disappointing main course, the waitstaff were attentive and the decor of the restaurant was intriguing. Overall, the experience was mixed.

We were unsure of what to expect when we arrived at this restaurant, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was refreshing to see that the restaurant was willing to have fun with their guests.

Restaurant is located in a former clothing store, the decorations are tailored to this i.e. birds made of shoes, mannequins which have seen better days and so on. Decided for the tapas dishes, a great choice. Dishes are sharing size . Had seven different tapas dishes, all were excellent. Would recommend the charcuterie , huge plate with jambon/ham as well as Ceviche Petoncle , thin sliced, marinated scallops; both these dishes were out of this world!

The food is classy in a very original and funky enviroment. Service is hilarious, waiters have baby pants on their heads, and put on a humor atmosphere all evening. The decor is very artistic, with it's button mosaic mural, ancient model mannequins holding the door and kitsh 50's table lamps stuck on the ceiling for a very surpising and lovely shading. There are surprises everywhere you look and the food is delicious. It's a can't miss!
