Description

This city-centre hotel-restaurant is an elegant location with a chef's counter for a few lucky diners. With his cuisine, Olivier Perret, a French chef from Burgundy, navigates his way between traditional and modern influences, drawing on the best Quebec has to offer: gravlax salmon and maple salmon caviar; bluefin tuna tartare; Arctic char, citrus sabayon and Grand Marnier; Canadian pike quenelle and lobster bisque. His recipe for duck à l'orange, an absolute classic, is not to be missed.

Review summary

Located at the Sofitel Montreal, Renoir offers a refined, Victorian-inspired ambiance following renovations. Food highlights include pineapple gazpacho, tuna tartare, and pork loin with lobster, though some diners found the French brunch average and noted service errors like incorrect seating. Staff are generally welcoming, but meal pacing and value receive mixed feedback. While the atmosphere is relaxing, concerns exist regarding lighting, chair comfort, and limited dessert options due to nut allergies. Overall, it provides upscale elegance with occasional inconsistencies in execution.
