Best Fish Restaurants in Pohénégamook

We ordered Tyropita and octopus for entrée, both were fabulous. For main we ordered slow-cooked bone-in lamb shoulder, it was out of this world. Finally, for desert, we shared Tarte a l’orange and Tarte au Chocolat… incredibly good. The ambiance and atmosphere were amazing and we got excellent service. This is a place I will come back next time we’re visiting Montreal.

This restaurant, tucked away from the bustling streets, offered us a warm welcome as the owner kindly took our coats. Our table, marked by our surname, set a charming tone for the evening. The staff was incredibly attentive, effortlessly switching between English and French to make our evening special. The food speaks for itself, requiring no embellishments to hide flaws. For instance, the lobster bisque featured delightful, recognizable chunks of lobster instead of being overloaded with cream. The dover sole, walleye, shrimp, and lobster were cooked to perfection. Our waiter provided levity and anticipated our needs, he effortlessly recommended wine pairings. Later, we discovered that his father was the owner. With such attentive and friendly service, we truly felt as though we were enjoying a fine dinner at a dear friend’s house. The entire evening was perfect, and I eagerly look forward to returning again and again!

We had a wonderful time at Balos. The service was outstanding; our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely go back.

Food and service was excellent! The oysters were highly recommended as an appetizer- the ones made with maple and jalapeño and miso gratin were the best! Grilled octopus was also delicious! For entrees, we had halibut (fish of the day), salmon and the black linguine-portions were just right and was some of the best seafood I had. Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back when in Montreal again.

When we arrived, nobody came to greet us and showed to our table. The server is nice as she came regularly to fill up my niece empty water. The portion was small so I came out still hungry. The service was slow.
