Reviews for Sinclair Restaurant Vieux Montreal in Montréal, QC

Oskar Restaurant (formerly Sinclair) is Old Montreal's best kept secret. 25 meters from Rue St-Paul Ouest in Old Montreal.... people don't tend to walk by and when they do, they mainly see the doors of the St-Sulpice hotel. However, the restaurant has avery nice terrace, the staff are very welcoming and courteous, and the food is excellent. I strongly recommend it. Great placefor lunch. Read more

Went for lunch recently and it was awful. There weren?t many people (around 10) but the service was slow. We work in the area... and it took 2 hours. I had sent a message to the restaurant the day before asking for a vegan plate. They said no problem. Uponarrival, the waiter didn?t know what that means and suggested a dish with pesto. He then said that he would check with thekitchen and when he returned, he said I would get a vegan meal without being able to say what it would be. I received 6 springrolls with a soy sauce dip. On my bill it indicated ?tuna plate? and I was charged $19. For spring rolls! I mentioned to thewaiter that it is ludicrous that I was charged the same price as for the tuna plate. He shrugged and said that?s the price. Therest of my group got poke bowls and were not satisfied either. However they did say the dessert was good (no vegan option forme) but we found out that the desserts aren?t made on site. Overall a terrible experience and a rip off. Read more

Breakfast: fruit was dry, stale, toast did not come with jam butter, dinner: terrible service, it was a quiet weekday night we... were one of two customers. Waited 10mins to be spotted to be greeted and seated. Food was not bad frankly but ruined by thewaitress untidiness and wait staff lack of care which made it almost seemed cheap. Cutlery also not replaced between courses.Waitress intentionally removed our used cutlery from plate and placed on table. Even saw manager walking around with a dirtymop. Did not enjoy and will not return. Hotel was really good but this restaurant really adds a negative tone Read more

Great space for lunch or dinner. Food was really good and service excellent!

The one star or lower ratings appear to emanate from breakfast, brunch and lunch clientele. I attended a supper function and... must say the experience was divine. We had a fixed menu and I thought perhaps it was specially prepared for us however afterreferring to the restaurant's regular menu, I realize that everything that was served may be ordered from the menu. The factthat the meal was accompanied by privately imported wine + commentary from the vineyard owner Mister Riccardo Ricci Curbastroand an SAQ representative may have embellished the experience. Nonetheless, the food was deliciously served and spot on. Thegnocchis were exceptionally light and flavourful. Tuna tataki divine as well. All Quebec cheeses amazing... as usual. Waiterswere attentive and prompt. Trying to find the flaws after reading the other comments... just don't see it. Good work. Read more

I attended the Christmas dinner and not only was the menu uninspiring but service was by far the worst ever. It took over 30... minutes after cocktails had been ordered for staff to realize we never were given menues, another 30 before I finally stoppedsomeone to request they take our orders, one of the main course had to be returned as it was simply disgusting and again I hadto hunt the staff as they never bothered to check and see if everything was alright. 2 and 1/2 hours and I had to get up and goask the owner for my bill. He was informed of our poor experience but couldn't be bothered a basic apology. Descent local, butother than that, giant thumbs down. Read more

Excellent modern French cuisine with distinguished service in a contemporary hotel decor. Great value yet intimate. Only minus... was not all dishes came warm to the table on a slow Sunday night. Read more

Went for breakfast and was disappointed. Ordered the Canadian breakfast. The bacon was very soft. Beans were dry and barely... edible. Asked for eggs sunny side up and runny and I got over medium and broken. Waitress offered to send the eggs back but Iwas too hungry to wait. My friend's omelet looked nice and she had no complaints. Very good cappuccino. $41.59 after tax and tipfor 2 mediocre breakfasts and 2 excellent cappuccinos. How does that sound? Read more
