    Excellent service, très attentionné, sans faire dans le fla-fla. Tout les membres du staff étaient incroyables! La qualité des aliments était au rendez-vous ainsi que la recherche pour ajouter des saveurs, des textures et une complexitéaux plats. Un des plats proposés sur 6 était correct, sans plus et un autre bien, cependant les autres étaient vraiment superbes. Nous y retournerons assurément, bravo à l'équipe!

    A wonderful tasting menu. The food smells and portions were optimal. My favorite was the lamb dish and the coconut dessert. The menu was bold but still good for a wide variety of tastes!

    We were very pleased with our experience at Ile Flottante. From the moment we walked in the door, we were well taken care of. Our table was in a private location in an alcove by the window and the 6 courses were served at a perfect pace. A relaxing pause between each one was appreciated. The highlights were the creamy root vegetable soup with a runny-yolk egg perched on top, the cod wellington in a snow crab sauce and the lychee sorbet served in a coconut. All the other courses were very tasty as well. The wine pairings that were suggested were excellent as well.

    L'équipe du service était vraiment sympathique et au petit soin. La nourriture super, très recherchée et originale. Ceci dit, même si les portions sont petites, au total ça fait beaucoup de bouffe; on n'a pas pu prendre tout le dessert. accord mets-vin excellent.
