L’aromate - Montreal, Quebec

Fantastic food, nice atmosphere, did wait guite a while for our food, but was worth the wait. Staff very friendly.

Beautiful decors is the only compliment I can give. The tartare was decent, but definitely does not keep up with its standard. Amiable waiters but insanely slow service ...

Appetizer was great - delicious octopus! Main course was just ok. It could be more savoury and a bigger portion would have been appreciated - the wakame salad did not stand out. Dessert was excellent! Staff too! Place is cosy and look good, especially upstairs.

I find it very disrespectful to potential clients that this restaurant do not even bother to update their opening hours info. The information displayed on their own doors (not to mention the internet) is misleading and incorrect. They are never open when supposed to. Tried to go there twice already, ... won't try a third.

We were able to get a table for two on a Thursday night without a reservation. The service was reasonably quick as they had a packed house. We had heard rave reviews about the burger, so I got it. I was wholly unimpressed. The sauce is not pleasant and the meat ... was cooked pink even though the server asked if I wanted it well-done (which I did). I was unaware that the sides for the mains cannot be changed - I asked for fries and green salad and was informed that was not an option - I would have fries and coleslaw as was on the menu. My wife got the skirt steak, which was awesome, though a little small. For dessert, we ordered the mango sorbet with fruit salad - I felt that the sorbet was delicious (I love mango) but my wife felt it was way too sweet. Additionally, the fruit "salad" was actually 5 pieces of fruit (not even whole strawberries - a quarter strawberry was considered a piece). So, each of us had hit-or-miss experiences with parts of our meal. Service was good - the server spoke French and English well and was able to answer questions about diet restrictions. For the size of the plates, I feel it was a bit overpriced - 2 mains, 2 drinks, and 2 desserts for $100. Read more
