Reviews for Place DesChamps in Montréal, QC
My dates blood pudding was fine and the waiting staff were diligent but my dish the "steak" was completely inedible, you were... only offered "medium rare" which would have been fine but upon the first bite one noticed an immediate rubbery ham like texturewith a nasty unappetizing flavor and every bite became increasingly worse despite the addition of salt and pepper till I gave uponce it became obvious the meat was completely raw...still with that nasty texture...I had it taken away with extremeindigestion and loss of appetite. To their credit they didn't charge me for this terrible experience and offered me somethingdifferent from the menu but at this point I wasn't interested in anything else that could come out of that kitchen... Also themenu was extremely limited and high priced...and they should be ashamed for trying to pass off that "steak" as a 36$ item ...Iwouldn't feed to a dog.. I'm suspicious that this meat is the basis of the beef tartar...I suppose its an ok place to meet afterthe theater for a drink but beware of the entrees. Read more
Beautiful space, food looks great & friendly owner - pleasure to work with as a photographer:)
Awesome. Simply excellent in all aspects. Service was great, not too intrusive, rightly tuned. We were a group of 8, had a... reservation and i had a chance to taste at all the dishes at the table. On the height we were, everybody agreed to say that itwas awesome. Salmon was great, black blood sausage were awesome with their various mashed potatoes, beef of the moment wastasty in its sauce and cooked just right, had the duck leg over sweet mashed potatoes and cranberries gravlax and it was alsodelicious. Tasted the beef tartare and it was on top too. Entrees were also all good. Bref, to sums it up, make sure you have areservation. Then go ahead cause i hope that your experience will be as good as ours :) Favorite dish of the evening would havebeen for me the beef tartare, followed by the boudin / black blood sausage. Dessert is split between the crème brûlée and thecrunchy chocolate praline. Read more

Perfect place to eat and/or have drinks before a concert or a show in the area. I would not recommend this place for a date or... for food if you're not going to see a show afterwards, they really specialize in getting you the best pre-show experience. Thewaiter will ask you when does your show start, so as to coordinate with the kitchen so you don't have to rush. The food is goodand the wine selection is very decent, with a wide variety of types and prices. I got the beef tartare with a red wine, myfriend got the salmon tartare with a white wine. The waiter was very charming and he knew his menu very well, he was able torecommend a wine that paired perfectly with our order and our taste. We sat at the "table conviviale", a round high table thatyou share with other guests: it was really nice we got to talk about shows with complete strangers, while also entertainingprivate conversations. It was overall a very nice experience, we felt like the staff was taking care of us and there was nothingleft to worry about. Again, this place is only for food before a show. There are better places in Montreal to eat if you're notwaiting for a show. Read more
A very wonderful meal before the opera was had here. The appetizer was an interesting take on a capresse salad, and I will be... stealing it for supper parties. We sat at the bar and they were very attentive and had excellent recommendation, in fact the bartender picked my whole me, and I was not disappointed. The salmon tartar was yummy although it was more similar to gravlax thanAsian style salmon tartar but it was good. They were quick and the food was good, which is always a plus when you have aperformance to go to. I shall return. Read more
Very overpriced restaurant service was very nice however very very slow the prices are outrageous for what you get $16 grilled... cheese that was tasteless I don't think it was two year old cheddar I think it was Kraft cheddar. The $6 french fries weresoggy. They did have a reasonably priced wine list. Read more
The poached salmon was unappetizing. The fish was soggy and undercooked. Very ordinary dishes at inflated prices. Definitely not... worth it. Read more
