Fabulous experience. Portobello mushroom with Koji sauce is a must. The four of us ordered it several times and used the focaccia bread to deep into the sauce. The kitchen was able to accommodate with special requests and Sommelier made great suggestions with wine selection. David, one of the bartenders, makes incredible Mapletinis. We always enjoy dinning at Markus.

The restaurant was good and cozy. Service was excellent and the food was very good. We ordered hanger steak and salmon steak. Salmon steak was excellent but part of hanger steak was a bit overdone. Overall I would recommend it to my friends who are visiting Montreal
