Reviews for Candide in Montréal, QC
Perfect for a date night. Set menu by month I think? Price is reasonable for the quality of the dishes. Some of the chefs... brought our dishes out and you can sense the love they put into it. Every dish was sensational. We loved the broccoli entree -the best broccoli I've ever had. Read more
This is now our favourite restaurant in Montreal. The location and decor is lovely yet relaxed. The service is exceptional. The... sommelier (Vincent) delightfully paired the most unique wines to our dishes. Finally the food, absolutely amazing and alsounique. What a breath of fresh air to have a set menu with local ingredients, some literally on their property. It?s a set menuthat changes almost monthly based on seasonal ingredients. Candide sets itself apart from nearby Griffintown restaurants byoffering unique delightful dishes in a beautiful unpretentious environment. Read more
Thoughtful, fresh, and passionate cooking here at Candide. The flavors of the season shine in every dish. Every vegetable... unlocks its secret magic. The asparagus with sorrel and lovage butter had a clear smoke tone to the grilled asparagus, and theunctuous butter was cut perfectly by the tangy sour bite of sorrel. The gem lettuce salad featured brown butter croutons thatwere actually the right size to eat with lettuce. The peas! Sweet and crispy peas swimming in rich lobster sauce, topped withbroccoli, again perfectly grilled. Both the pork and halibut dishes were well balanced with sauteed, glazed, and raw elements,and both dessert options featured special and harmonious flavors. If we lived in Montreal, we'd try to come every month to tryevery menu. Read more
The most amazing experience! I went for my birthday and it didn?t disappoint. Some of the best, freshest food I?ve tasted.... Cocktails were also amazing and the wine pairing blew my mind. Read more
I always love trying set meals and seeing what surprises a restaurant has in store, and seeing that this restaurant has monthly... menu changes was exciting to me. The asparagus was fresh and tasty, with a great crunch with each bite. The snow crab appetizerwas delicious, and the salad appetizer was more of a small bite than a full salad, but still good. I had the rabbit and wasquite pleased with the dish, and my friends had the lobster which was delicious too. The meal ended with either a cherry/beeswaxcake or a savoury cheese with corn cracker and apple sunflower seed salad, and I preferred the savoury cheese out of the two.Overall, a lovely experience, and I would be excited to try another new menu should I ever come back to Montreal in the future!

Open kitchen, friendly service, cool old building in a park behind a church, delicious and unique menu and drinks. They change... the menu every month and it?s a fixed menu. French style cuisine. They follow Covid restrictions well Read more
Restaurant Candide offers a welcoming and intimate setting and it is clear that every detail is accounted for (down to luxurious... candles burning throughout the restaurant). The staff was friendly and professional, balancing attentiveness while giving usspace to enjoy our night seamlessly. The food was refreshing, thoughtful and surprising. I appreciate a slow deliberate meal,never feeling rushed nor forgotten. The smoked oysters were delightful and the sea bass was complimented perfectly with themushrooms and fennel. There was a mix up with my dietary restriction which they happily remedied quickly. The goat cheesedessert was actually the better of the two options which took my by surprise in a good way. Thank you so much to everyone atRestaurant Candide, you made our 4 year anniversary celebration memorable and we will certainly be back the next time we visitMontreal! Read more
One of the highlights of our entire trip! Fantastic food paired with good wine, services, and vibes. It?s a little hard to find... - directions took us to the church right on the street, but you want to walk around to the back of it. Read more
