Was looking forward to experiencing Le 9e and exceeded expectations. Incredible decor and ambiance. Genevieve our server was amazing! And the food…started with steak tartar and lobster cake both terrific. We shared a daily special, roast Quebec lamb which was perfect. Sides were brocolette, and gnocchi Parisienne. All very generous portions and great presentation. We were impressed with the depth and the value of their wine list and selected a perfect Saint Emilion. We have have discovered our new favourite restaurant in Montreal. It was so good that we returned for brunch the next day.
