We were not so much disappointed as underwhelmed by the experience given the expectations and the price charged. The estalishement locates at 1481 Avenue Laurier Est, Montréal, QC. The status of the establishment is Fermé since October 21, 2016. We chose to start with a fresh beet salad with mascarpone raviolis and leek vinaigrette with quail eggs.Both were well presented but rather bland in taste.We followed with a deer filet and duck magret which were slightly overdone and served with a rather minimalist sauce for the deer and a tasty kale -based sauce for the duck.Desert consisted of a pistachio cake which was quite good.The wine list is very short,pricey but we managed to find a good Pinot noir. RESTAURANT CIRKUS is a food establishment in Montréal inspected by the Food Inspection Division of the City of Montreal. The restaurant is around the corner from Pâtisserie Rhubarbe. We decided to try this restaurant which has recently opened and received very favorable reviews.It is located in the trendy Plateau area on Laurier street and is easily accessible from downtown.The interior is quite sober with an open kitchen against a sitting bar.We were politely greeted and promptly seated on a relatively busy week-end evening where we were hoping to enjoy a nice dinner after escaping from the bitter cold.Table service was polite but very slow from beginning to end. Wonderful restaurant news for the Plateau: Toulouse native Julien Joré, who has put in time at the likes of Brunoise, 357c, Au Cinquième Péché and Au Petit Extra over the last dozen years or so, will soon open Cirkus in the old Pyrus Bistronomique at 1481 Laurier Est. But I am telling you, this is an amazing, amazing, amazing restaurant! We were sad to see that there were only 2 other tables occupied on a Saturday night….it is time for the hood, and the city to enjoy this restaurant….tell the world! Enjoy!!! ![]() Simply superb! As I read other reviews, it is well priced for what you get….approx $15 per dish x 7 =$105 for 4 people for the main, which for some may be a lot, but for foodies it is extremely well priced, plus desserts and wines. We had a pate en croute that was so tasty, celeriac with goat cheese and caviar, venison au jus (my mouth is watering thinking of it!), ….we had 7 mains between the 4 of us, sort of our own tasting menu! And then 2 desserts made by the chef’s wife who owns a bakery nearby. ![]() The dishes are beautiful presented and a fantastic variety of tastes and ingredients. The food here is worth sharing and was meticulously prepared. We were not disappointed!! We are foodies, so we are always in search of a new experience. We came to this restaurant after reading about it as a top restaurant.
