La Salamandre - Montréal

I went to the restaurant to do some work and ordered a hot apple cider. I also got a slice of carrot cake, which had a strange taste of amaretto.

This restaurant is a fantastic gem and I typically enjoy visiting, except for in the mornings.

This is a charming family-owned cafe where I often go after school to relax with a cup of coffee.

Very nice discovery of this brought your wine that surprised us and conquered from the beginning to the end.A refined cuisine with a mix of flavor and interesting color. Service appreciableI recommend

We had a good meal at La Salamandre on a couple of occasions, but things seem to have gone downhill recently. For about $50 per person, the meal consisted of a very bland soup, poor appetizers, and main courses that really fell flat. Even the desserts! How about a chocolate creme brulee that sounds interesting, but doesn't deliver any wow at all.The only part of the meal that was nice was our wine, which we brought ourselves, since it's a BYOB restaurant.But there's more: a waiter who speaks almost no English, and rattles off the menu items so fast we couldn't understand most of what he was saying. Plus, his attitude left a lot to be desired - very unfriendly. The bathrooms are tiny and badly need renovations; not suitable for a restaurant trying to be in this category. I've seen better restrooms in fast-food joints. The equally old sink is outside of the bathrooms, facing the kitchen (not very cool) and the area around the faucet was literally dirty!It didn't take long to understand why the place was less than half-full, while other similar high-end restaurants in the area were fully booked. And yet we also waited forever for our food to be served.We obviously won't be returning, and neither will the friends we were with. We were sorry that we recommended the place to them
