    What a great experience! Please do not hesitiate to book Memo for those reading this review. Do not miss out if you are in montreal. You can not get this experience at this price point anywhere else. Chef Remi Lemieux is a big deal being on the show of Top Chef Canada but he is so down to earth. Sabrina Kale was fabulous as well. She kept the wine flowing! I sat at the bar due to the prior reviews but anywhere at the restaurant, Chef Remi will be stopping by at your table. I hope to be back soon but once the words gets out on this place, I know it will be harder to get the pernsonnel experience that I received. That's ok because they deserve that. Please spread the word once you get to try Memo.
