Executive chef: Sean Murray Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Sean Murray Smith’s vegetable-centric tasting menu spotlights Quebec’s homegrown bounty through exquisite presentations and diverse cooking styles.

Rotating wine pairings and creative cocktails ensure intriguing sips throughout the year.

    Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre soirée aux Iles Flottantes, nous n'avions pas à l'avance connaissance de la formule. Il n'y avait que la formule 6 services, pour un souper à 8 heure c'était trop copieux, mais délicieux, on nous a offert d'apporter le 4ième service avec nous. Les portions de légumes pourraient être plus grandes, c'était surtout comme un assaisonnement. Les plats diversifiées et composés avec beaucoup de finesse et de recherche. Impossible à reproduire pour des non professionnels. Un choix de 5 ou 6 services serait apprécié probablement pour la clientèle de plus de 70 ans. Merci

    Really relaxed atmosphere and wonderfully engaging service. 3-hour time for 6-course meal flew by. Great flavours, textures and temperatures. Will return regularly.

    I’d say everything outside of the cocktails and the impeccable service by Alice was…meh. Food was not anything outstanding, although definitely visually pleasing, and the food service as many have mentioned before me was very, and I mean painfully slow. Perhaps setting too high of an expectation? Not sure but after some other fine dining experiences downtown, this one was not outstanding.

    This is our go-to restaurant. What brings us back is the continuous experience of tasting new flavour combinations and textures. After several visits, this has been so far our tastiest meal. Thx to staff for their attentiveness and care.
