Renoir Restaurant

Stunning decor and atmosphere for a Tuesday lunch. Quiet, elegant, impeccable service. Food was delicious but too lean for my taste. I had white fish and it could have a been served with a rich creamy sauce to help with the dryness/leanness of the fish. I’m very thin and eat lots of fat to stay thin. Fat-free eating is a hoax

Excellent evening dinner at Renoir. Wait staff are kind and punctual service. Enjoyed the ambience and gentle jazz music playing. Menu is simple but difficult to decide what to order as many good options! Had table d’hôte for $80 reasonable for the quality service and portion. Very delightful fish - seafood entrees and mains. Desserts were tasty and once again good size. Overall would come again. Note to find parking garage nearby as there isn’t any. We found one on metcalf street pricing was ok ($10) for this distance from the restaurant!

Experiencing the start of Montreal en Lumiere with guest chef Lorenzo Di Gravio was delicious! Every dish was beautiful, the service was attentive and well-paced, and the dining room was elegant and comfortable. Unforgettable night.

My first meal in Montreal and it really set the standard which unfortunately means everything I’ve had after has been a disappointment. Set inside the Sofitel hotel this place is best described as a culinary experience. The chef plays with flavors and textures using unique flavors without overpowering you into submission. It’s a subtle dance, teasing and flirting until you fall in love. We ordered the sea water jelly, foie gras, Canadian pike lobster bisque to start with the Chef D’otel, duck breast, pasta with porcini mushrooms and a kids Salmon. Let’s start with the miso bread! Holy smokes it was delicious. Kids salmon is well portioned and they have this decadent orange sauce. Great crust and moist. Sea water jelly with lobster was out of this world. Foie gras was buttery and their brioche was light and fluffy. The duck breast and pasta were good but the star was the Chef d’otel which came with a lobster bisque, a cod which were divine! Never had anything like it. Flavors were subtle and complex highlighting textures and colors. Don’t sleep on the dessert. Like the meal they were uniquely refreshing and fun. Our family including two young daughters gobbled everything up and we were stuffed! I had a Manhattan cocktail to start and if it was any indication, the cherry was very not your run of the mill. Best way to describe our experience was a curated collection of wonderful ingredients. Service was friendly, engaging and prompt. We felt catered too and celebrating my mom’s birthday with a sparkler on her dessert. I wish we had more photos but we were just too excited to capture everything. May need to go back isn’t the excuse to get photos.

I like the design of this restaurant , how the tables are designed and arranged. We had two dinners last week and both were excellent - good wine, the food was great, a nice French cuisine experience. If you look for a place to spend time around a great meal and have a good wine selection this is the place.
