This was our second visit and definitely not the last. Incredibly fresh & delicious seafood, impressive wine selection and phenomenal service. The seafood platter sashimi were the best. Officially one of my favorite restaurants in the Greater Montreal area

Cru is a well-placed restaurant in the heart of Saint-Lambert. With the prime real estate comes high expectations, and Cru delivers in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. Their oysters are notably great, along with a vast drink selection to match. I personally had the Wagyu burger, and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. Prices are on the high side, but not outrageous. The vibes are great, though the only detractor was that we sat outside and there was no music playing at all. I assume Saint-Lambert residents are not fans of loud music and they effectively killed that part of the vibe. Overall, great resto. Definitely will be back.

I enjoyed a very nice brunch here a couple of days ago. The service was excellent, so was the food. Fresh oysters, seared tuna and beef tacos paired nicely with good wine. Definitely a repeat for us as we are excited to explore the menu further.

It was a last minute decision to have dinner here and I'm glad we did. Upon entering the restaurant, there was this air of modern elegance and was greeted by one of the wait staff, where he offered to take our coats. Since we arrived at 5:30PM, it was relatively empty (on a Sunday), so we were offered a table for 2 near the windows, which offered a nice view. The staff was attentive and overall provided a good service. The time in-between courses was just long enough for us to have a decent chat and rest. Most of the dishes were full of flavour and was well-cooked. The two downsides I could think of, was that the waiter didn't really inform us that the main dishes were pretty big and we did not manage to finish our main course. Having said that, they were nice enough to pack the leftovers nicely (still awesome as a leftover lunch). The other was when I rang last minute (at 5PM) to make a reservation and whoever answered the phone seemed unfriendly and quick to hang-up without asking for a name or saying goodbye (I understand that it's quiet, but still..). Not going to dock points for this, but something that could be improved on. Overall, I definitely recommend this place for any special occasion or if you decide to spoil yourself.
