Reviews For Bonheur d'Occasion

Last night was my first time at Bonheur d’occasion and I’m most definitely going back. The vibe is ambient and nonchalant, sort of like Knox, In many ways. The service was incredible and as was the food. One of the most memorable dishes was the fried brussel sprouts (believe it or not ), they were so perfectly crispy; served on a bed of hazelnut cream , which added a sweet and unique touch. I liked the hot fish platter, composed of few grilled shrimps, baby octopus and scallops, a treat on the eyes and lips. The cocktail menu was small, but I loved every cocktail I tried. The smoked meat dish was also interesting, although I would describe it more as short ribs, which is far more superior in my opinion. Had a deconstructed Mille-feuille to end the night on a sweet note.

We wandered in here one snowy night as it was just around the corner from an apartment we rented for a long stay. One of our favorite dinners of the trip, and friendly, impeccable service from Pep. Everything was delicious, and I love the small menu that changes to take advantage of what is most fresh and local.

Great food, with a relatively unique choice of plates. Went as a group and we all opted for the tasting menu, so a bit of everything. The staff were very polite, and explained each dish. The seating arrangement can be a tad cramped, but the ambiance is good.

Holy hell these guys are working hard to bring you amazing food that’s seasonal, accessible, and exciting. Every week they’re doing a new tasting menu with a different theme for 80. Wow. Finest ingredients, masterful technique, every bite of every dish was amazing. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite restaurants in the city. Gorgeous food, a nice generously paced meal. Service that is attentive but not overly fussy. It is certainly not cheap, but I would consider it less expensive than comparable restaurants.

Wow, what a culinary experience! We had the tasting menu and every dish was so we'll balanced with flavors and fresh ingredients. We really enjoyed every dish and had great wines paired with every course. My favorite dish was the japenese sweet potato with a butter sauce and escargot (chef's kiss)! All the meats were cooked to perfection. We will certainly be back soon. Merci beaucoup!

A wonderful evening at this quaint Saint Henri restaurant. We took advantage of the Mtl a Table 3 course menu with wine pairings and were very glad we did as we were able to try various dishes. The server was very knowledgeable
