Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Sean Murray Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Sean Murray Smith’s vegetable-centric tasting menu spotlights Quebec’s homegrown bounty through exquisite presentations and diverse cooking styles. Winter may offer dishes like flank steak with 1608 Charlevoix cheese flan, while summer could feature halibut poached in caper butter. Rotating wine pairings and creative cocktails ensure intriguing sips throughout the year.

    After 11 years of going at least 3 times a year at l’Ile Flottante (or its previous iteration Les Deux Singes de Montarvie), this is still by far our favourite Montreal restaurant. Amazing food and service, at a really reasonable price point for the quality.
