    Incredible experience eating there for the 4th time in my life! The ambience is very cozy and intimate and you feel as if you're eating in someone's home. The food reflects this ambience and on top of tasting amazing (ingredients are very fresh and prepared expertly) it all just feels like a home-cooked meal made with love. Chef Davide sang twice during our dinner and he is truly a master of his craft on top of being a fantastic chef. He even came to see us at the end of our meal to ask us how we enjoyed the service and how happy he was that I had come to their restaurant multiple times due to it being so good! Class act. I recommend this restaurant to everyone in Montreal looking for an intimate italian meal that doesn't in any way break the bank. Pricing is extremely fair and I usually tip extra because I feel that I am undercutting them!

    We really enjoyed our meal at Crêperie Chez Suzette. We sat at the main floor dining area not knowing that the 3rd floor had a beautiful room up there. Next time I’ll sit up there. Our waiter was so very nice and his table service was outstanding! Loved all the different types of crepes that were available. So yummy!

    Bungalow has essentially a classic bistro menu with some updates. Fried calamari with salad was an excellent appetizer for two people to share. It seemed fresh and well-prepared. Mains of steak (cooked exactly as requested) and navarin d'agneau (underseasoned) were perfectly fine withoug being at all distinctive. In short, exactly what I usually want from a bistro: a predictable meal of good quality ingredients, classically prepared with no surprises. On the night we were there, it was not at all crowded, so noise level was fine. But we could easily hear the conversation of a table at the other end of the restaurant, so I imagine it might be noisy when full.
