Originally had reservations for 14 with accessible seating. Eventually 19 of us showed up!! � Our server Lindsey (with the great hair) accommodated us so well. Food was delicious.The Papa Mambo trio was unexpected treat! And what lovely ambiance on that patio���

Love, love, love this place. Fantastic service, high quality French food with delightful twists. The moules et frites offered in several variations on the menu are fantastic, as are the outstanding and ever changing daily specials. House made desserts are also outstanding!
A beautiful patio with live entertainment make this a busy spot, but well worth it if you can get a seat!

Addition to review added May 5, 2018:
Had one of the best meals of my life yesterday. Ordered entirely from daily specials and didn’t regret it! Calamari with orange tzatziki to start was super tender and a generous portion size and the dipping sauce was beautifully balanced: brightly citrusy but just savory enough. Next came the outstanding cream of mushroom soup - a generous variety of crimini, enyoki and portobello mushrooms in a rich, delicious cream base. Probably the best cream of mushroom I’ve ever had! Next came pork ribs in a sauce that hit every flavour note: sweet, tart, savory and just a touch of smoky spice, tender but not falling apart: satisfyingly meaty. Finished with a gooey, caramel hazelnut dream with chocolate whip cream and shortbread crust that succeeded in being as decadent as it sounds without being overly sweet. It takes muscle to work through the dense caramel and substantive crust, but that entirely adds to the pleasure of eating this delight. Service was outstanding as always and the ambiance was as lively and pleasant as ever.
Had to change my original four rating to a five. Totally outstanding and unforgettable!
Went here for the first time with my husband. We had the crab cakes for the appetizer and it was very good and the mango chutney on top was super yummy. We shared the vegetable bouillabaisse soup and it was very flavourful. My husband had the duck entree and he said it’s the best duck he ever had. I had the halibut special and the fish was cooked perfectly. The only dislike was the root veggies could have been cooked a little longer. Service was great. The restaurant was packed and our server did a great job of making us feel attended to. Highly recommend for food and atmosphere.
The live music on the patio is the best back drop to a setting sun and delicious food. the portions are always generous and I love coming here a couple of times a year.
Cute little place in st boniface. Went for my for my boyfriends birthday the other night. Ordered the duck potstickers, the flavor of the potstickers themselves was great but we weren’t a fan of the orange sauce it came with. The clam chowder soup was delicious. He had the steak special which was incredible. And I had the salmon dish which was also great, only complaint was the salmon could have had more of the sauce because it was delicious! For dessert we had creme brûlée which was delicious. Service was great, a little slow but we were in no rush and our drinks didn’t stay empty for long. Can’t wait to come back soon!
My preferred location is the Inferno's on Academy however, this place has a slightly more french-centric menu and it's quite well designed. The food is mostly french with a modern twist, which breaths life into the age-old dishes and I have had numerous meals here, all excellent.
The location is in old St. B and the patio is lovely during the summer.
If you're looking for an enjoyable night out in old St. B, I would recommend getting a spot on the patio!
I had the infernos penne dish, pasta dishes are usually super overpriced for what they give you but I was quite impressed for what I got. It was an excellent cream sauce that had just a bit of kick to it. The penne was covered in parmesan, sautéed onions and peppers
I finally remembered to book a reservation and was so happy I did! A start to any good night is a good server and our waitress was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, polite and present (seems these experiences are getting fewer and far between)! Our appetizers were loved by all, I had the tuna with mango salsa as my main and it fulfilled cravings I didn't know I was craving. There was a large tempting dessert selection but I had hit my max at that point. Would strongly recommend going for any occasion.
Amazing food, fantastic service. Everyone at our table was pleased with there meals, I had the steak and lobster special which was unbelievable. The steak done to perfection, melted in my mouth, the lobster fresh and a bit
sweet. The live music on the patio, made this meal a memorable one.
Love moules et frites, so it was great having so many options. Restaurant is a little crowded and can get busy, but the patio is very cozy and gives you a little bit more space. It's also fairly enclosed and there's a lot of greenery and cute knick-knacks making it feel both fresh and fun. The service was great, and the food was a little pricey but very good. Though atypical, last time I went, my friend and I had one dead/closed mussel each in our bowls. I knew better but had to stop her from eating it. It should have been taken out prior to service. The broth (I chose a classic leek and cream type) was delicious, not gritty at all, and there was plenty to be had. The bread basket came at the same time as our meal, but it was nice to have some delicious artisinal breads to dunk in the broth. The fries needed salt, but the portion is generous which is great! I prefer even more of a shoestring fry with mussels, but they were good. Will be back.
Came here on a warm summer evening to sit on their cute patio. The atmosphere was perfect, a nice enclosed space with light live jazz playing in the background. We ordered some appetizers share; the Cambenzola Frit (so savory & tasty), the duck confit pot stickers, and the frog legs (Buffalo sauce was amazing on these). For dessert I got the Tarte Tatin (upside down Apple pie) which was served warm , and I got a scoop of their ice cream on top! It was really good, except the bourbon caramel sauce was too strong for me. If you like burbon though, you'll love it. Will be back more so for the patio than the food, but will definitely be back!

This restaurant doesn't have the easiest parking. The nearby street has construction that takes up the sidewalk. However at 7pm on a Thursday night street parking could be found.
The delicious smells of the kitchen permeated the outside air as we made our way in. The desert display tempted us as we were seated.
We were seated close to the window in not the largest table but it worked and the seats comfortable.
Our wait staff did an excellent job. She helped us choose between the many tempting dishes. She brought us our items quickly. She was there when she could help and let us enjoy our meal.
The escargots 5+/5 and the bread came first, along with the teas, loose leaf 5/5. The escargots arrived in a buttery sauce with mushrooms. I was very glad we ordered it.
Our soups, French onion 5+/5 and the roasted squash 5/5 arrived next. The French onion soup was wonderful. The soup base was great and full flavoured. The cheese added a new dimension of flavour and texture. The croutons were meaty and wonderful. The squash soup had a good flavour and texture.
Then the main dishes arrived. The Tuna was good but I have had better. The potato tasted old but was cooked okay. The zucchini was simply outstanding, I don't remember when I have had any nearly as good. The pieces of corn on the cob was also very good.
We then shared a slice of cappuccino cheesecake. Super flavour, great texture and a great cheesecake.
Can't wait to go back. If you haven't been here you really should go.

Lovely dining experience at this restaurant. Had eaten there a few times in the past and was happy to go back. We had loose-leaf tea to drink in a nice large container called a Brewt Tea Infuser - was a great way to serve a loose-leaf tea. We had escargots as an appetizer- excellent flavour with mushrooms and onions in a buttery sauce. Fresh bread was served at the beginning of the meal as well - they brought a few pieces from a baguette and a corn bread with flavoured whipped butter. We had the roasted squash soup and french onion soup - both were perfectly done. The french onion soup had a good amount of cheese on top. Our two entrees were the Arctic Char and marinated Tuna. The Arctic char had an interesting filling - stuffed with a lobster gruyère potato mousseline over a lemon verbena sauce. The Tuna was grilled with a maple soy marinade topped with strawberry, avocado mango salsa & unagi. Side grilled potatoes, zucchini and corn on the cob rounded out the mains. Loved the zucchini - best I've had in years. The entrance to the restaurant has a lovely display of the desserts available - 7 or 8 choices there. We decided on the Cappuccino cheesecake - one piece to share. Fantastic flavour. They had 2 flavors of creme brulée in the display. Will have to try one of them next time we go here. Centrally located in St. Boniface on Desmeurons - we found street parking across the street tonight.
Excellent food. Service was very good. Ambience is more of a low key family style as opposed to fancy, dressy date place.
Nice variety of mains and specials. Was out of a few things the night I went. Moule and frites are very good. Calamari was done nicely, not oily, and lightly battered. Lamb shank was done perfectly although the sauce was a bit sweet for my personal taste.
Desserts were both very good. They had a bout 8 to choose from and they all looked amazing. The creme brûlée had the perfect amount of carmalized sugar. Crispy and not overly thick.
If you want taste a different dishes with good wine, this is the place, is a lovely restaurant, exceptional client service, the only thing harder, was found one parking spot available near to the place.
Our favourite restaurant hands down. Love everything about it, the food is always great, I love the weekly changing feature menu. Great atmosphere and one of my favourite patios. We go or order take out from here at least once a month. The food is also very reasonably priced for what you are getting. The service is always great. Also get the Bavarian cream pie, you won’t regret it!
I love the food here. Good menu. Service was good. I need to eat here more often.
De li cio so!
