Had a wonderful birthday experience here. Very small and cozy with friendly service. The food was exceptional and the wine pairings were perfect. Had an amazing time overall.

I went for lunch. Just 4 tables were occupied which was delightfully quiet. Ambiance and service were good. The green vichyssoise was delicate and heavenly. The cod with chorizo and lobster sauce was a great achievement. The chocolate dessert, however, was too busy with a dozen flavors that did not integrate successfully in my opinion.
I’d go back to try the other options in the (limited) menu.

I've had this place on my bucket list for years, but never had the time/occasion/money to go. But I finally did and even though my expectations were sky high, La Chronique knocked it out of the park.
Impeccable service, impressive wine list, perfect food. The only possible gripe I could give is perhaps the decor. White walls, white tablecloths, white plates, it kinda gives off a bit of a "cold" ambiance. But I guess it's a classic look.
The menu is simple, 4-5 entrees and 4-5 mains. We were tempted to try the tasting menu, but the a la carte choices were too good. Everything was flawless. The cauliflower velouté was one of the best things I've ever eaten. That does it, I'm saving up for a Thermomix. The sweetbreads were perfect, and the steak was world class. The fat melted in your mouth like butter!
Yes, it's a bit of a splurge, but I'm really glad to have finally dined, and you, internet stranger, should consider giving this place a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing personality and food! The servers were polite and very quick. The presentation of the food was spot on and so was the taste. Really impressed with this tiny and charming restaurant. I ordered the Foie Gras as a starter and the Ravioli as the main. My buddy ordered the fish which he really enjoyed. Both stunning dishes. The desert was amazing as well. A colorful combination of Sorbet and a Choclate Fondant! Overall a great taste of food at this tiny restaurant in Montreal!

Only one available choice on Saturday menu. 5 course meal for $125 before tax & tip. Good quality overall but we had to ask for bread near the end to fill ourselves.

Had dinner on 11/04/2021
Dinner was 5 + 2 courses. Quite a good seasonal menu but compared to other fine dining french restaurants in the city La Chronique had issues.
I was dining in a party of 3, and was the one who chose the restaurant. The server only addressed the one man in our party 90% of the time, which made the service feel very dated.
In terms of the food, the amuse bouché’s and dessert course was the best part of the meal. The lobster bisque was amazing and so was the foie gras macaron.
As for the main courses I was disappointed. The sashimi course was good. Thé morue was very over-salted, to the extent I found it hard to finish. I understand that morue is salted cod but the garnishes were also salted which amplified the saltiness of the dish. Thé foie gras rôti was acceptable, but thé foie gras was gritty. Thé veau du lait was done two ways, and in my serving the sweetbreads were so overcooked that they were crunchy, like croutons.
Service took a bit too long. The whole dinner lasted 2.5- 3hours. In comparison, bullion bilk served 8 courses with cocktails in 2 hours.
I also noticed that my servings were in much smaller size and lower quality than my dining partners. To the extent my friend shared her portions with me.
In summary, the food and service was acceptable but very inconsistent. I will not revisit considering the other French restaurants available in the city.
