I was invited out for lunch to this place from my FX dealer as I call him. Normally we go for noodles but this time he spoiled me. I guess he is making money from me. Service was excellent and always important they speak to me the language of my choice or they lose a star. The cream of Mushroom was excellent. I ate it so fast… My main meal was the filet Mignon which was also really good just a tad over cooked. But still acceptable. the only fault of the place was that there is not salt/pepper and neither for my soup or meal was I offered and I love my pepper esp. for the soup and did not get any. So that cost time a star! Dessert looked good but I try to avoid and did not have any.

Knew about this place but for some reason had not been even if my office is 2 blocks away. So before the movie today decided to go out with my wife and had one of the best meal I had in a while. We had the salmon tartare and the gorgonzola endive salad that was amazing. The bouillabaise was fabulous and I loved the lobster risotto. Will be back for lunch regularly. Try it you can’t go wrong.

This is a fairly new, upscale hip and modern take on the trattoria. The space is polished and bright and the owner is onsite. Service was very good — Joe(the owner) helped us with menu selections and even offered to make a single serving of a Branzino that was meant for 2 people when my partner decided he wasn’t in on it. Cool space — really enjoyed dinner

Have been there many times and everything is absolutely amazing. Whether you’re having meat or fish, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is very good. Staff is also amazing. Great wine selection as well. Everything is very reasonably priced and actually prefer this place to Ferreira!

We planned on going to «Little Italy» this evening but happened upon MKT Restaurant and were very pleased. The food was great, the wait staff attentive, and the place itself was very comfortable. We had oysters for a starter, Kathleen had the Haddock Special and I had rabbit special which was quite good. Given the different things to eat, and the fact we were running in the Half-marathon in two days, this wasn’t the evening for splitting a bottle of wine. So we went to the wines by the glass which, while only limited to a handful of choices, were all fine for the meal. We occasionally get to Montréal and this place is on our keeper list.

We had a wonderful meal there last night. The food was generally excellent. We started off with the grilled octopus over chickpea(basically hummus) purée and an endive spinach salad with pears, pecans and blue cheese. The octopus was very good and the salad was exquisite, an excellent combination of textures and tastes. For main courses, we had the bouillabaisse(seafood stew) and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and mascarpone. The stew was excellent, with many chunks of perfectly-done fish, shrimp, clams, etc. the stew was wonderfully tasty. The tagliatelle could have been improved just a bit. The taste was wonderful. I would have used a pasta with more body to hold up to the full taste instead of a thin fettuccine that was a tad over poked and not al dente. But, overall a lovely meal with excellent service.

Amazing food quality & taste! The very freshest ingredients really make a difference. Sea bass was awesome. I have to call out Dominic as a fantastic server who was very attentive, and made excellent recommendations for us. A wonderful dining experience!

Fantastic! Food, wine, staff(friendliness and knowledge), and ambience were all excellent. Really wish we had discovered this place before our last day of vacation. We will definitely be back for our next trip!

Par ce nouveau projet, le grand Chef Marino Tavares revendique un retour à la cuisine du marché et un hommage à ses aliments. Différents éléments de décor illustrent cette volonté: balance vintage sur étalage de légumes frais, vitrine de gros morceaux de charcuteries en suspension, étal à poissons et fruits de mer frais du jour, cuisine ouverte à la vue des convives. Entre tradition et modernité, une carte d’inspirations italienne et méditerranéenne est proposée aux épicuriens et clientèle d’affaires. Charcuteries en planches ou en sandwiches, huîtres, tartare de bœuf, ceviche de pétoncles, cocktail de crevettes, gnocchi au gorgonzola, risotto de champignons(notre coup de cœur). Au MKT, c’est le produit à l’essentiel. Avec des mélanges de saveurs simples et sans chichis, Marino mise sur le goût. Les matières premières sont sélectionnées avec soin, en respectant la saisonnalité. Au doux parfum de la mer, cette cuisine typée fait voyager. Extrait de mon article pour Black Milk Magazine
