    We had a wonderful evening at Le Polisson. Jeremy was our server and was friendly, attentive but never made us feel rushed. We sat in the charming back area. The food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed.

    This was our second visit! We stopped here our first night in Montreal. Travelling with my 83 year old mother who LOVES mussels. We shared a generous pot of mussels and a salad, and she had wine. We took some cheesecake to go which was divine. Liked it so much we popped in again last night. She had the mussels and wine again, and I had the fish tacos and an N/A beer. And again we took the cheesecake to go. Both time the staff was so friendly and attentive (but not overly so), and my mother wanted me to add that the staff was also quite cute!

    Overall was very good, the smoky salmon is fabulous, but the braised beef is a bit too salty. The ponna cotta was really nice too, not too sweet, just the right flavor.

    Le personnel est très gentil et attentionné. J’avais réservé sur la terrasse mais il faisait très chaud et il y avait des risques d’averses. Le personnel avait donc préparé notre table à l’intérieur pour notre confort. Et ça a été bienvenu!! Les desserts très bons, de même que les plats. A essayer: le sorbet aux bleuets et le mi-cuit!!

    The chicken sandwich was very good, as were the fish tacos. The french fries were very tiny and kind of cold, I thought it was the bottom of the bag. The server said that their fries are "tiny bites" which I thought was strange as I've never seen tiny bite fries. I ordered a drink from the bar and because they had a large party the bar was backed up and I got my drink after my meal. The server was very polite, they were just consumed with a large party out back which affected our little table for two. But the main course was simple but very delicious.

    We had a group of three for a 6:30 PM reservation on the back terrace that had a lovely atmosphere, especially with the summer Montréal weather! Unfortunately, we received our food much later than the other tables—including tables that were seated and that had ordered after us. Because one person in our party had an event to go to, we paid for our dinner when our entrées finally arrived. While the food and drinks were quite tasty, it was not worth the wait we faced. Our experience might have been a one-off, but I don’t feel that anybody in our party would come again.
