Wow, I mean wow for every single dish. I frequent enough Michelin stars and this was perhaps one of the best meals thus far this year. Perfect balance of flavor, temperature and presentation. We were a hungry group of 10 and every single person left satisfied and complimented me on be restaurant pick!

Absolument dégueulasse et extrêmement cher. Né s’improvise pas chef qui veut. L’assiette de lièvre était une farce monumentale. Un morceau de rable minuscule dans une bouillie de légumes immonde et fade. Un peu marre de ces restos qui n’ont le look. Bien pour briller en société.

You know that see saw motion you make with your hand when something is kinda«so-so»? That’s Manitoba in a nutshell. We showed up on a cold night(–24C) and were greeted by someone to take our coats and get us seated. Not the normal hipster treatment — nice! The table was great, we had a nice banquette and a view of the room and kitchen, so far so good. Waitress was pleasant, service was prompt, cocktail was decent. Unfortunately as soon as the food arrived things started to slide downhill. I had the duck hearts and my wife had the raw scallop. The hearts were well cooked and meaty but the whole dish including the lacklustre sauce was lukewarm. Nothing grosser than bloody and cold red meat in a gloopy under warmed sauce. The scallop dish was a joke. If there was half a single scallop in the entire dish I’d be surprised. It was mostly just cheap rice crackers with invisibly small scallop bites on each. Not a great start. The mains weren’t much better. I had the venison steak my wife had the pork belly. She was asked when she ordered«have you ever had pork belly because there is a lot of fat». We’ve all had pork belly and I can assure you this was the most inedible piece I’ve ever seen. The crackling was so hard you couldn’t cut through it, the fat layer was nearly 2 inches thick and pretty much everyone I saw eating it was just discarding most of it. The meat under was ok but it having to butcher and waste your own meal is never gratifying. The whelk and Brussels sprout accompaniment was so vinegary I had a coughing fit when I first tried it. Is anyone there even trying the food before it goes out? The steak was well cooked and tasty but again lukewarm. The potatoes on the side were scalding hot though. Again just the sign of a really undisciplined kitchen. And this is really my biggest complaint. The kitchen is wide open and some of the stuff you see there does not inspire confidence. The guy shucking oysters kept looking at his thumb as if he cut it, the kid doing most of the cooking looked greasy and dirty and kept playing with his hair. One dude had a ponytail down his ass and it kept flying over the food as he spun back and forth at the pass. I only saw anyone there wash their hands once. Gross. When we left the kitchen was doing shots with the waitstaff and there were still 4 tables with people at them. Pretty weird. Glad they’re having fun, and the vibe is kind of cool(great 80s playlist and clear everyone enjoys their job which is nice to see), but the food is really middle of the road at this point. There may be greatness in this restaurant if it can pull itself together — taste a dish, check the temperature, and save the kidding around for when customers have left. And for gods sake stop opening the back door in the middle of winter!

Went to Manitoba for a long overdue dinner with friends. The food was excellent, although I did find that the boreal flavours could have been a little bit more present since its the theme of the restaurant. I thought they were a little bit downplayed. We had the spruce & spinach fresh pasta with braised hare and hemp nuts bread crumbs. A home run! It was fantastic, the pasta was succulent and the hare was tender. I couldn’t taste the spruce too much in the pasta, hence my previous comment. We also had the raw scallops, which were very good but less spectacular. For the main course, we had the venison steak, which was served with celery root purée, cowberry compote and jerusalem artichokes. The meat was cooked perfectly, medium rare, and was extremely tender. The reindeer moss was mostly for decoration, it had no interest at all in terms of taste or texture. We also had the whole fish du jour, which that night was artic char. which was served with cauliflower purée and braised endives. Very good choice as well! The tried both desserts, the panna cotta and the pie with meringue, and both were a great final note. The service was top notch. Efficient, friendly, never missed anything. No complaints there. The décor of the restaurant is beautiful. Partly industrial, partly rustic with the beautiful wood ceiling. The lighting was perfect as well. I enjoy restaurants with an open kitchen, always a pleasure to watch the cooks prepare the food. Despite a few minor shortcomings, I would still go back anytime!

Nice discovery with this restaurant. The décor is very trendy, in the industrial sense of the term. I don’t always like this as it can really be a hit or miss but in this case I believe it suited the concept pretty well. I was a bit weary coming in, as we didn’t have any reservation and I read previous reviews about the staff so was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed warmly and treated well throuhgout the evening. We tried the mackerel and the deer. Both were good. Fresh produces and amazing use of local and traditional food and spices. The airmail cocktail was very nice too, with their own rooftop honey which was a lovely plus. We finished with the prune custard pie, which my partner loved though I found it just meh! Yes, the food is quite overpriced — I suppose you also pay for the concept and the originality — but at this price, I believe the chef could show a lot more generosity in the food he serves. We paid 100 $ for two and left still hungry which is never good coming out of a restaurant!(Thank dog, I always have macarons waiting at home for just this sort of emergency!)

I ended up here the night the unveiled the new menu. When we walked in I immediately loved the way the place felt and the longer I stayed, the more I noticed the attention to detail in spots all over the restaurant. We immediately started with the cocktail list and although they were out of the drink I initially was looking for, I found an amazing cocktail instead garnished with a chunk of honeycomb made by their own bees. I can’t remember the name, but it was exceptional. With a sampling of starters, I ordered the most boring one… cauliflower soup. It was delicious, but I had some major food envy over my cohorts duck hearts and the balsam fir pasta. Luckily they were willing to share and I had a taste of everything. For my entrée, I opted for the Arctic Char served with parsnip purée, roasted shallots, and an assortment of mushrooms. The dish as a whole was excellent although a little light on the portion of fish compared to the amount of roasted shallots on the plate. Maybe it’s just the American portions I’m used to… who knows? The service was a bit drawn out, but overall the staff was very accommodating. They kept the wine flowing and were genuinely interested in our thoughts on each component of the new menu. I enjoyed the whole meal, but the highlights were the duck hearts and the balsam fir pasta. Both were a must order. Don’t forget about that honeycomb cocktail too!

When you are in a new town, you want to explore the best the town has to offer. I claim this was one of the better restaurants that were available within a reasonable budget. The day we choose to go here was the day they started their new menu. The main focus on the menu, is game. Which I’m a big fan of and it’s hard to find a good place in North America on the East Coast. I started off with duck hearts, which is always a risky decision. But they not only won me over after the first bite, they won everybody at the table over. The perfect balance between sweet, savory and salty. Structurewise everything was amazing. Tender hearts but with a nutty finish To keep the game going(get it?) i went for the wild heir. I remembered this in Belgium being filets but here they were served on the bone which came out to be a bit of a challenge so i digged it as chicken. It was good but less tender than i expected it to be. Again everything on the plate was well balanced and the compmimentary glasses of wine made the meal complete. If there’s something that bothered me and which is also the reason for the 4-star instead of perfect, is the service was very slow. It took us almost 2,5 hours to finish our dinner with a long wait to order and in between dishes. In the end, the wait was worth it but i wouldn’t have mind to gotten away a bit faster.

Beautiful place, just re-opened. We had a good time, the wine was on them. YEAH! It was very busy since it was opening night, so it took long — understandable. The food was good, but my dish the fresh seafood mix was OK. Nothing that blew my mind for the price.

I am surprised this restaurant is rated only three stars. I went to cap off a day of exploring Montréal with my husband, and had a truly wonderful meal. We were seated in the best spot in the house, at the bar overlooking the kitchen. We were able to watch the food being prepared and chat with the chef, who was quite friendly and sent over one of his dishes to try(cauliflower soup). We ordered his fresh pasta with beets and dandelion greens(maybe the best thing we ate), the arctic char gravlax, and the bone marrow. Everything was SOGOOD. And I have never gotten an order of marrow bones that included FOUR bones. The tart berries were a nice pairing and this is my new favorite preparation. Waiter was also super nice and friendly, cool ambiance that would have fit right in back in New York City, and couldn’t have asked for anything better(other than to be more hungry so as to try more things). Best part? With drinks and tip, the total came out to like, 80USD. Total bargain. Definitely check it out.

I honestly couldn’t care less if the service you received was rude or aloof. Even with this shortcoming, Manitoba is pure fucking decadence. Every plate was a delicacy, ever dish a delight. The one complaint is that they were skimpy on the gravlax, but that’s what I get for ordering a flat speck of fish. Even if you end up waiting 30 minutes to be acknowledged, trust me when I say that it’s worth the wait.

Had a great meal here this weekend, I feel like they have sorted out some service stuff that was bumpy in the beginning. We were warmly welcomed, they found the one possible remaining table for us despite no reservation, explained the interesting things on the menu without making a big condescending show of their ‘concept’ which I’ve experienced at a couple places recently and seems unnecessary. I love restaurants that support local farms and heritage produce but over-archingly I think a restaurant’s job is to make people who are choosing to spend their precious little time and money with you feel kindly warmly welcomed. Anyway, most importantly the food was delicious and totally interesting. The brook trout was so soft and savoury and great, and the vegetable dish I ordered with foraged mushrooms was creamy and incredibly tastey. I could eat this every day, especially followed by the panna cotta dessert which I would like for breakfast lunch and dinner please. Beautiful room, friendly easy going smart staff, delicious food. Main dishes are about $ 20 to $ 28 which seemed expensive to my Toronto friends, and inexpensive to my Ottawa friends, and fairly normal to me. Love this room, can’t wait to come back.

All throughout 2014, I kept hearing and reading great things about a new restaurant in the relatively obscure Mile-Ex neighbourhood — at least from a food perspective. A place that was doing some unique things in terms of local foraging and doing it in a cool setting. All of this talk made restaurant Manitoba one of the hit newcomers in 2014 and a place I dearly wanted to try out. After many months, I finally decided that I really needed to go before the summer was over so I made it a date night and brought my girlfriend along for what I hoped would a great experience for both me and her of course. Located in the old industrial neighbourhood of Mile-Ex — stuck in the middle of Little Italy and Parc Extension, Manitoba is very unassuming as you approach — simply a wood terrasse in front of a simple door and window. Once you enter, it is truly a space in keeping with its neighbourhood and its approach of food — Industrial and clean but with touches of nature. A gorgeous bar along the left side of the room all the way to the open kitchen. The use of wood trunks on the ceiling with the light coming through them. The all-black wall and blackboard menu. The back garden and terrasse space with patio lights all a-glow. The vibe is hip and cool. Service is attentive and friendly. It is surprising how I froze up at simply being asked if I’d had a nice day — not exactly what you expect from your waiter. Even the chefs were chatty and friendly as one of the sous-chef kindly answered our questions about some of the plants and herbs they use that we didn’t know too well. We did have a bit of an issue with the service of our cocktails — way too long between the order and arrival of them — but otherwise great all around from the staff. After a quick discussion with our waiter, we decided to start with the deer heart gravlax served with cauliflower purée, corn, sunflower seeds, labrador tea oil and stonecrop. What an awesome way to start a meal. The rich gaminess of the deer heart was not lost in the gravlax process. Add the creaminess of the purée, the sweetness of the corn and the little crunch from the seeds and this was a great balanced dish. As a main dish, my girlfriend opted for the scallops from iles-de-la-madeleine served with lobster mushrooms, salicornia, green pea purée and emulsion. The scallops were nicely sized and wonderfully fresh with a beautiful sear all around. The beautiful lobster mushrooms brought a nice contrast to that freshness with their earthy tones. I was also very intrigued about the green pea purée and emulsion. An interesting bite of technique that maintained a strong pea flavour. Very good all around. In my case, I decided to order something I had never had before: Maple brulé bone marrow served with chokeberry, maïtake, swiss chard and toast. From my vantage point watching the chefs use a blowtorch to burn the maple sugar made me pine for this dish pretty quickly. Bone marrow was something I suspected I would enjoy and yeah… turns out I was right. Definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but dear god did I love this. Rich and fatty with a great sweetness and crunch from the maple syrup, I could have had many many more. The chokeberry mixture on top added some tartness and then add in some wonderful toast to put the whole mixture on top of… just wonderful. Simply wonderful. In my mind, a must-try if it’s on the menu. After those great dishes, we were then left to decide on dessert. We ended up going with both options of the evening. First was a honey, indian celery and black walnut cookie served with raspberry ice cream and lichen dipped in chocolate. The cookie had a nice crunch with subtle hint of both the honey and the walnuts. The ice cream was smooth and flavourful and the use of lichen was an interesting component to bring forth. The second dish was a spruce panna cotta with candied pumpkin seeds and wild blueberries. This was a very cool surprise. The texture you expect from panna cotta — rich and smooth — but the true surprise was just how strong the spruce came through. The combination of blueberry and pumpkin seeds were a nice pairing here as well. A strong finish. Manitoba was what a had hoped for — a great unique mixture of dishes in a cool looking and feeling restaurant. As we sat outside in the back garden with a glass of wine partway through our meal, I thought to myself«Yeah this is pretty great». Pretty much says it all. Cheers!

This is a 5-star restaurant experience, so I’m very confused by the current low rating. We’re major food enthusiasts and discriminating Unilocalers, and this was perhaps the best meal of our trip up and down Quebec. It’s a little out of the way, but you’ll find it’s a gem if you venture to it. A few minutes’ walk from Little Italy/Marché Jean-Talon, you’ll find this little indie enclave full of awesome food and wine options. I started off my meal with a glass of the«orange wine,» which was pricey($ 18CAN$), but how can you pass up orange wine? One of the strangest wines I’ve ever had, but it set the pace for a unique dinner I’ll remember for a long time. In the light of the setting sun(in good weather, they open up the garage door to a back patio – there’s also dining in front of the restaurant that’s quiet and lovely), we feasted. The meal began with deer heart and heirloom tomatoes, and both were fantastic. Our mains were the maple-ized beef bone marrow and the(apparently special) duck breast. The duck was VERY good duck, but the narrow was pretty darn-near as good as it gets: so sweet and acidic and salty all at the same time! To top it all off, we had a blue honeysuckle berry/pine(!!) panna cotta! The meal was so unique, and the service was so great, any tour of Montréal’s extensive food scene would be incomplete without a meal at Manitoba. Furthermore, the restaurant serves its own beer, which is pretty flippin’ good, as well. The total bill for the meal was just over $ 100(CAN$), about $ 75USD. It was an amazing value at that price, and we ate to our hearts’ content. You might be able to tell I’m excited by the memory of our meal there. I hope that you’ll visit and feel the same.

I’ve been here a handful of times and have mixed reviews; sometimes the food is really salty, and then the next time it is the most delicious thing ever, you just never know what you’re going to get. Also of note, their cocktails, although super yummy, are very overpriced, but their wine list is fantastic. Last night we started off with the oysters and they were fabulous. They only came with a vinaigrette with small chopped onion, but that was ok as they didn’t need hot sauce or lemon. Then I had the chanterelle mushroom dish which was freaking amazing: perfectly roasted with just the right amount of I don’t know what the hell kind of sauce it was, but I licked the plate with my finger and didn’t care that 7 people saw me do it. My companion had the pot stickers and he thought they were excellent and that the greens on top were great. Had the white cake with fruits for dessert and it was dense yet not overly sweet, it was incredible(normally I’m not even really a dessert person, but I just had to have the cake after seeing the guy next to me have it!) They topped it off with honey ice cream, it was awesome. The service to get our initial cocktail was slow, I waited about 15 minutes before anyone came over to help me and it seemed like half of the staff were busy on mushroom cleaning duty, drinking beers. If they can be friendly and more consistent, then I would definitely dine here more often. On another note, I don’t like that the terrasse is right on the street, but the garden in the back patio is pure bliss and a great spot to sip your first cocktail while you wait for your table to be set up. The beehives on the roof are a very cool addition!

I cannot review the food because I left before even ordering. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was empty with the exception of a group of 4 people or so. All the waiters/waitresses were just hanging out and totally ignored our presence. Then I came up to one of them and said I would like to be seated. He seemed really surprised like«seated? on a restaurant? whats going on? wat is my life?» I am not sure if he was high or hangover from the nigh before. We sat down and waited for 15 minutes for the waiter to come, which he never did, so we just got up and left, and not surprisingly none of the waiters even noticed. It was totally surreal.

I didn’t read the other Unilocal reviews prior to eating at this restaurant and was frankly surprised. I consider myself a bit of a «foody» and my colleague and I had to visit this place after reading the article in the New York Times food section. I have to say that we weren’t disappointed. In fact, we were very impressed and had an incredible evening of drink, food and service. I had called the night before for a reservation and was told that they only had seats at the bar available, which worked out great. We started out with a «Gin and Jam» and a smokey whiskey cocktail. We ordered these after the bartender gave us a complete run down explaining our options. He did so enthusiastically and with pride. We then had the urchin, bison tartare and a split a dozen oysters. We were very impressed. They were all tasty and unique in flavor, texture and appearance. For our main courses the venison steak(which was prepared perfectly medium rare) and the bone marrow(one of the tastiest thinks we’ve ever eaten) were excellent. Of course the suggested wine pairing with each course matched perfectly and the Manitoba beer superb. In fact, I was able to sample a few different options before settling on an excellent Nero D’avola from Sicily with the main course. Our bartender/waiter was knowledgable and attentive. He even brought the sous chef, Becca and the pastry chef, Cristof over to meet us after they created a dessert sensation for us. The night caps finished off the meal wonderfully. All in all, this was a great eating event that lasted 3 hours. We’ve been to many places in the world to eat and this place ranks right up there with the most memorable evenings we’ve enjoyed.

La cuisine est simplement délicieuse, avec toujours une touché d’originalité car ici on cuisine«sauvage». Les cuissons étaient vraiment parfaites, et j’ai mangé du riz sauvage avec un sirop au thé du Labrador pour la première fois, quel délice. Avant ma première visite, on m’avait parlé de portions minuscules, alors j’avais un peu peur mais il s’est avéré que pas du tout(ou alors mes amis sont des ogres???), elles sont même parfaites pour le prix. Pour 2 personnes, 2 entrées, 2 plats et un dessert partagé, cela nous avait couté 80 $, pour de belles portions et une si belle qualité, je trouve cela très raisonnable! L’ambiance et le service étaient aussi superbes, on s’est même fait offrir un verre de vin ! J’y suis retournée pour avoir un deuxième avis(on sait jamais hein!), je suis sortie un peu de mes habitudes en choisissant de la joue de boeuf(je crois, j’ai une mauvaise mémoiré), et c’était divin! Je songe à y retourner bientôt!

A poor experience: the food was mostly a success(with one notable exception), but the service was the worst I’ve ever had in Montréal. I feel it’s important to identify the particular waiter who was so odious. I don’t know his name, but he was very tall, had a shaved head, a beard, and wore a bow tie. His colleagues were fine, but he was simply atrocious. We went for dinner on a Friday night with a group of 3. I had reserved by phone three weeks ahead of time, but when we got to the restaurant they had obviously lost our reservation. The aforementioned waiter didn’t apologize, and instead condescendingly informed us that, «you will wait 20 or 25 minutes, you’ll have a drink, and that’s all.» He then ignored us, not even coming back to take our drink orders. Thankfully a waitress noticed that we were just waiting around and saved us by taking care of us for the night. She seated us right away and got us started on dinner. The food was interesting and mostly well-executed. We had elk carpaccio, jerusalem artichokes, and whelks to start(all good, though the«wine syrup» overpowered the carpaccio), and venison steak, seafood pot-au-feu, and cabbage pierogies for mains(mostly good, but shockingly some of the pierogi dough was raw!). I felt like some of the assemblages were a bit haphazard; some dishes felt like a random mix of ingredients without much thought put into how they should be combined. Portions were normal. The horrible waiter visited us at one point in the dinner to put his hands on the backs of two of our female dinner companions(!) and asked us, bizarrely, «Are you happy?» We were shocked. Thankfully, he never came back. We didn’t stick around for dessert or coffee as the poor service had soured us on the restaurant. The music wasn’t too loud, which is a nice change from most places in Montréal. I won’t ever be going back or recommending this place to friends. It’s a shame, because the kitchen shows some potential. However, the management desperately needs to gets its act together with regards to customer service. A quick look at other reviews shows that lots of people have had problems with terrible waiters.

Le concept est vraiment très très cool, des produits locaux, souvent sauvages et presque toujours intéressants. Je suis absolument en amour avec la déco, et l’ambiance est vraiment bien. J’ai partagé une entrée de wapiti cru avec mon compagnon, qui était absolument délicieuse. Des lichens fritsm shiitakes marinés, et de la bette à carde parsemaient les généreuses bouchées de wapiti. C’était excellent. Comme plat principal, j’ai pris l’os à moelle à l’érable(goût à peine présent, mais c’était tout de même très bon), accompagné de baies de sureau, de radis noirs et des mêmes bettes à carde présents dans l’entrée. Dommage. Je suis très contente de mon plat, mis à part qu’il y avait peut-être un peu trop d’os à moelle et pas assez de légumes. C’était gras, gras, gras, j’en ai eu mal au coeur toute la nuit. Mon compagnon a pris le flanc de cochon qui gagnait la palme en matière de lourdeur(mais dont le goût était quand même assez bon), accompagné de spaetzles(une sorte de minis pâtes) et de rapinis. Bön goût, mais il en était écoeuré assez rapidement. Le vin était bon, et la carte était très intéressante, avec plusieurs options de vins nature. Là où ça s’est corsé, c’est lorsque notre serveur, jusque-là très sympathique et aidant, s’est mis à nous ignorer lorsque groupe est arrivé à côté. Heureusement qu’il y avait d’autres serveurs qui passaient régulièrement pour nous débarrasser et remplir nos verres d’eau. Mais le serveur principal n’est jamais venu nous demander comment on avait mangé, si on allait prendre un dessert ou un café(ce qu’on aurait fait). Il est simplement venu tout bêtement nous porter la facture sur la table, après 25 minutes d’attente. Sans même dire merci ou au revoir! J’ai trouvé ça largement moyen… C’est un big no-no quand le service est pas bon! Je recommanderais quand même ce resto à cause de la carte intéressante et des découvertes que l’on peut y faire, mais je me garde une mini réserve.

J’avais vraiment envie de l’aimer ce resto là. Habitant st-Zotique et passant devant tous les jours pendant les travaux, j’étais vraiment excitée à l’idée de découvrir ces plats aux inspirations sauvages. Quelques semaines après l’ouverture on se décide à le tester en gang. Très belle déco, menu vraiment alléchant et bière maison, une rousse, très goûteuse. Ça part plutôt bien. Les plats arrivent, on debuzze instantanément. Personne né dit rien, mais l’éléphant est dans la pièce: les portions sont ridiculement petites. Quand je dis petites, je né veux même pas parler d’une portion tapas, mais plus petite qu’un pintxo. Un rire nerveux puis on goûte. Très bon, rien à dire la dessus. Mais comment se faire une vraie idée des saveurs avec un mini cœur de cerf coupé en fine tranche, deux huîtres rachitiques et 3 haricots qui se battent en duel? Que dire du feuilleté aux champignons qui n’est en fait qu’un feuilleté à rien(les trois champignons sont a côté) On pourrait commander d’autres plats mais c’est la où le bas blesse, les plats oscillent entre 13 et 18 $.(La où chez pintxo justement, les prix vont de 4 à12 $) La facture monte donc très vite, mais le sentiment de faim, lui, est toujours bien présent(même avec une facture de 100 $ pour 2) Le Manitoba fait bien des manières dans un quartier qui n’en fait pas. Bref, une expérience désagréable et l’impression de s’être fait avoir sur toute la ligne. Pour une bonne bouffe allez plutôt chez le gai luron Mile-ex ou encore pic-niquer à la dînette triple crown!
