FIVE STARS!! i went with two great friends of mine. we wanted good food, good ambiance and reasonable prices. My friends were in town for one evening only and we were hoping for something good. We had no idea of what was in store for us. The service was definatley well above average. The friendly gentleman who took our order was both welcoming, attentive, and professional. The food was well beyond our expectations. We were very pleased and will return with more friends to share this treasure. All the reviews I read on this restaurant were great, but still did not do it justice. This restaurant is the best in montreal i’ve ever been to. Try it, you will not be disapointed.

Went to LaPrunelle Sat night - small intimate restaurant - byow - staff very friendly and knowledgable abount the menu - terrific specials,
if you like lamb, try the shank - excellent desserts too - won’t cost you an arm and leg like many city restaurants - make sure you book it a few days in advance and take a cab!!

Thanks for the advice! I found this post today and decided to go based solely on your opinions.
Unfortunately the only thing we couldn’t have predicted was an extremely loud office party. What was supposed to be an intimate birthday diner for just me and my wife ended up being a shouting match with the boorish imbeciles taking up half the restaurant. I wish I had some warning… So diners be advised! If dining anywhere in December, beware of going Monday to Wednesday nights, as these tend to be the nights that restos will accommodate large parties!
Having got that off my chest, I must now focus on my stomach– OUTSTANDING food! We had two different starters that both featured warm cheese (perfect for a snowy evening). Mains were a perfectly prepared trout in a shrimp sauce and a delightful guinea fowl with a rich brown sauce, the name of which eludes me at this moment.
I give this restaurant top marks!

hey curly I am sorry to hear of the poor bad experience. I know a loud group can easily ruin an evening. December is a dangerous time to go out with all the Christmas parties.

Just wanted to express what a bad experience I had at La Prunelle last Saturday. A group of friends and I went there, quite excited to taste the menu. We were treated extremely rudely by the staff, food was not served at the same time for all, there were numerous mix-ups, creme brulees had not been brulee on the top, coffees not served. When we expressed our disappointment, staff took it very personally and instead of apologizing or finding ways to make things better, became quite aggressive. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
