By best friend and I were visiting Montréal and we randomly walked by this restaurant while staying across the street. We thought the menu looked nice and decided to reserve spots for dinner. We did the 5 course tasting menu which is very reasonably priced, however it doesn’t include a wine pairing which, with the help from my wonderful waitress Mylene we picked out some wonderful glasses to pair with the dishes. More on her excellent service later… The tasting menu changes but our started with the lobster salad style dish with great mango purée/sauce dotted around it. Then the appetizer trio which consisted of three of the claims; beef tartare; and the wonderful truffle dumpling on a bed of some sort of beans which I’m usually not a fan of but I ate every last bean because the sauce was wonderful. The next plate was one piece of their black ash mushroom ravioli and I wish I had more of that! The main dish is one that gets split between two people and we had a choice between the fish or the meat plate which consisted of the ribs and striploin. We chose the meat and couldn’t finish it but it was divine and perfectly cooked plus it came with a small side of broccoli salad. The ending was a nice light dessert which we both chose the chocolate option. Now to the service. Our waitress was Mylene who made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. She was so helpful and knowledgeable in helping me choose each glass of wine for the courses and when I had already picked the glass a head of the time for the meat course she had it sitting in front of me right after I finished the current glass I had, long before I could even ask for it. She also provided me with tastings when I couldn’t decide which wine to choose. Really I was so extremely impressed with her service. Especially since my time in Montréal was met with horrible service every place I went except for Mercuri. The restaurant seemed very focused on service because other waiters would also stop by randomly just to make sure all was good. I WILLDEFINITELYBEBACK!!!

I have been to many places and high end restaurants, but Joe Mercury is one of the best and most creative chefs I have ever seen! He’s an artist! He plays with the foods to get different textures and tastes that will blow your mind away! Crazy good, yes it is pricey but you should know before going to such places what to expect. For me the $ is 100% worth it!

Mercuri was delicious! Every single dish ordered was great. Know that this restaurant is a $$$$ one and while portions are small, we were satisfied at the end of dinner. The dumplings are amazing and a classic and the desserts are gorgeous and so good. Staff was doing a great job explaining the dishes and making sure our glasses were full. We had a great experience!

Extremely underwhelming… Cool to sit in the same(casual room) room as the fire pit but too pricey for what they are serving. Very small portions. Better places in the city to spend $ 150(2 people). Sorry…

Had supper with a couple of friends. We sat in the finer dining side. There is also a casual dining side which I haven’t tried. We ordered several apetizers and a main course. Pricing and minute portions aside, this restaurant is probably serving up some of the most trendy and savoury dishes in Montréal atm. Every dish was better than the previous, only wish I had another bite. Impecable décor and service make it a night to remember. Kudos to the owners and the chefs. Now one more spoon please.

Les côtes levées étaient dures La serveuse peu informée sur le menu Musique trop forte

Vraiment dispendieux pour les portions. L’entrée de thon était bonne, mais ridiculement chère pour les trois petits morceaux. Le peu de viande qu’il y avait sur nos côtes levées était difficilement mangeable. Un contre-filet à 38 $: deux morceaux qui entrent dans le creux de la main… Nous étions six, nous nous sommes plaints pour le contenu de nos assiettes et la qualité de notre nourriture. Personne de la direction n’est venu nous voir pour améliorer notre expérience. J’ai travaillé en restauration et je trouve cela inacceptable. Une des pires expériences à vie dans un resto. Seul point positif: nos verres de vin étaient remplis régulièrement et nous n’avons pas manqué d’eau non plus.

We have been to Mercuri for«MTL à TABLE» and we were underwhelmed to say the least. The appetizers were good but it was downhill from there. 38 $ for 2 slices of steak, 30 $ for 5 raviolis, and their ribs were very rough if you could find the meat at all. My friends told me it was amazing one year ago but it has obviously gone down in quality. We gave our feedback to the waitress but we never heard anything back. A real shame considering the venue is well put together. We will not be back.

Souper arrive 2h20 après avoir commandé, tiède, attitude de la serveuse et du gérant et aucune accommodation. Merci mais non merci.

Bön rapport qualité-prix pour le service du midi. Le tartare de gravlax de saumon est excellent, les pâtes au homard aussi. C’est un restaurant un peu cher mais pour fêter la fête d’un collègue et sortir des soupes /sandwiches qu’il y a autour c’est intéressant. Il y a une cheminée active l’hiver mais pour l’été s’est plus de la décoration. Excellent service!

After paying $ 40 for a normal appetizer and a simple drink I can see why the reviews for this place aren’t so great. Honestly, the décor is nice. The food was great. But it wasnt That great to justify how overpriced the menu was. First off, the location is in a lonely and secluded part of old Montréal. Secondly the place was huge, so huge that it made the place look even more empty for the fact there were only three tables occupied on a Friday night. Lastly, the service was lacklustre and they served us burnt bread. I feel bad saying this but I don’t foresee this place being open for much longer.

29 mai 2014 — serveurs courtois, présentation éloquante des plats. Pas de menthe pour mojito de mon amie, pas d’ananas pour le drink de mon autre amie et moi, ma bière en fût était ‘flatte’. Si vous commandez les raviolis en plat principal, je vous recommande de manger beaucoup de pain avant, pendant et après. Portion minuscule qui ressemble plus à une entrée. Pour 33 $, tu as 5 raviolis… oui, oui… 5. très deçu. J’en ai fait mention au serveur et ce dernier de répondre… «Oui mais ils sont fait à la main et il y a beaucoup de travail». Nous étions un groupe de 11 personnes et 5 ont commnandé les raviolis et même commentaire concernant la portion. C’est dommage car ils étaient délicieux… peu nombreux… mais délicieux. 70 $ pour 1 bière, 1 entrée, 1 plat principale, taxes et pourboire… ça né vaut pas la peine.

Never coming back here. Service was terrible — took 45 minutes to get our first drinks. No one offered us menus. Food took forever. We ordered a round of premium vodka shots and it was clear to us they gave us a cheaper brand but charged us for the top shelf stuff. Had to point it out to get the bill adjusted. Spent $ 130/couple and left hungry. This place is new so perhaps they will iron out some of these issues but we left feeling taken and will never return.

Un peu cher mais j’ai bien aimé l’expérience. Mon plat de raviole de cendres de poireaux, céleri rave, shiitake et pancetta et cheddar valaient la peine. Dessert original et délicieux: crème glacée au chocolat, crème d’arachide et panko au cacao

Soyons honnête et constructif; Ayant hâte de découvrir la nouvelle enseigne du flamboyant Mr Mercuri… Je dois avouer que nous avons été déçu par l’expérience. La première déception a été de voir que le menu né se compose que de 4 plats principaux… Sur 10 items au au total… Entrées et desserts compris. On se sent donc vite obliger(voir imposé par le personnel) de se laisser aller avec la formule découverte a 65 $ sans savoir vraiment ce qui nous attends… C est a la discrétion du chef et de son inspiration creative du moment nous dis t’ont… Et né tentez pas de faire changer quoi que ce soit a la formule… Mr Mercuri n’aime pas ca(diva en plus?), le personnel vous enfourche quasiment une fourchette de pieuvre dans le fond de la gorge même si vous n’en manger pas, en prétextant que c’est une création de Joe Mercuri et que vous allez l’aimer! S’ensuit la découverte du soi dit menu… 5 services. Ce que le menu né dit pas. C est que chaque assiette semble destiné à un nain anorexique! Du moins c’est l’impression laissée lorsque chaque assiette semble aussi grosse que la roué d’un SUV et ou 3petits morceaux de thon façon sashimi se courent après… Que dire du plat principal… 3 tagliatelle enroulée et 1 morceau de lapin aussi gros qu’un champignon… Il y a eu quelques expériences agréables, notamment un oeuf cuit a 75degrés dans une sauce aux truffes incroyable… Le tout… Pour la modique somme de 350 $ pour 3 personnes… Cher pour un menu tapas! Quant au service… Coincé se donnant une attitude guindée pas forcément nécessaire, faisant même quelques faux pas; chemise qui déborde du jeans, serveur sorti tout droit d’une agence de sécurité(ou agent de la CIA sous couverture), arrogance de certains, presentation des tables douteuses(mettre un tapis a égoutter la vaisselle noir du wallmart sur les tables en guise de déco… NON) Je me suis permis de faire part de mes commentaires au maitre d’hôtel qui a fais son possible pour nous accommoder. Dans l’ensemble, quelques combinaison de gouts intéressants mais pas de la a se jeter par terre sur ces soit dit creations. (Sans commentaire sur le spaghetti gelo au soja accompagnant le sashimi…) Je precise que je né suis affilier a aucun établissements et que je n ai aucune frustration a passer sur le dos de ce resto. on né s’attendait pas a un festin de buffet chinois. Mais quelque chose d’un peu plus consistant… Je donnerai sans doute une 2eme chance a cet établissement dans quelques mois… Cependant je le déconseille dans l’immédiat… Ca manqué de fini, surtout dans cette gamme de prix! Mais aux dire du serveur… Mr. Mercuri né croit pas a ce genre de formule… Dommage!
