We had another great meal at Le Cerf-Volant! The seared scallops with celeriac were wonderful. We were both so happy we ordered it. The shrimp gnocchi were delicious and decadent. The beef cheek, what can I say, just WOW! We can’t wait to dine there again.

The food is phenomenal. Atmosphere is intimate yet casual/fun. Great music. Service is on the slow side but it’s just one waiter serving the whole restaurant. Received great sake recommendations & did not feel rushed at all (even with a line of customers waiting at the door).

Located in Pierrefonds, Quebec, Vivaldi serves authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant atmosphere. Every menu item is prepared with high quality ingredients including handmade pasta, pure olive oil, fresh mozzarella and the freshest meats and produce available. Vivaldi has a full bar featuring an extensive wine selection by the glass.

Choose from classic Italian favorites such as the grilled chicken parmesan, the scallops with pesto or the linguine primavera. For dessert, try the tiramisu or the homemade chocolate cake and a cup of specialty coffee.

We were a party of 10 including g two young children. Staff were wonderful. Our server was very attentive. We had delicious appetizers of fried zucchini, calamari and bruschetta. All really tasty. Everyone loved their choice of pasta, veal and pizza as well as the food was very plentiful and came to the table very hot. Once again we were delighted with our meal and did not feel rushed. Thank you Vivaldi staff!

Amazing experience at Garde Manger as usual! David at the front does a great job with his staff. All professional and very pleasant. Food was great. Snow crab brioche was best thing on menu and apple salad! Ox tail agnoletti is a must, I could eat that forever! We got all the desserts and the coffee cake and spice cake are unreal. Look forward to next time! Cocktails by the bartender were also great!
