We had the most wonderful time at Le 9e! The whole staff was so kind and welcoming, (a special shout out to Daniel and the new manager for arranging a little tour of the site for us as we were very interested in the history behind the building and how the restoration came about)! It was so impressive! The food was incredible and the drinks were delicious! I can’t recommend this place enough!

Absolutely wonderful all around. Food and ambience were incredible. Had an early res with our toddler daughter who was extremely fussy. The staff was so kind and accommodating, especially our waiter. I did not get his name but he was fantastic. My wife and I plan to come back to Montreal for a weekend alone and will absolutely be back for a date night. Highly recommend.
