As I've been passing by the place manier times and seeing how crowded it always was, I was curious to know the experience people had in this restaurant even if I didn't intend to go. Why? Too crowded, huge line up not to mentionned the crowded sidewalk of smoker patrons(must be a lot of in/out movements for a tight spot). And after reading all the comments, it's amazing how this place's still full.

I tryed many locations. And it's the same thing each time! Not impressive. Your going out of this restaurant with a feelingt of a non-accomplishment. You fill yourself to survive to the next meal. I can do this with 0.50$ hot dogs.

Kind of restaurant who trying to be too much.

Food is pretty mediocre, but I was pretty surprised by the one on Crescent the last time I went. Whatever, it's relatively cheap, and if she doesn't know better it's easy to impress a date.

We have been to l’Académie on boul. Galerie d’Anjou a few times, long time ago. First visits were great, they were not busy, food and service were excellent. Every visit since was a disaster. When they get busy, expect to have platters dropped from the waiters arms as they scurry up and down the stairs to the 2nd floor. And long waits, very long waits. When they’re busy, they don’t seem to have enough staff. The tension is palpable. Don’t accept a table near the door when they’re busy, you’ll be in the middle of a mess of activity. They can do it right, though. You just have to be lucky to be there at the right time.

I agree. Shitty. The mussels were not cooked properly. Very mediocre. Why are there line-ups all the time?

I hate this restaurant …. first of all my food was horrible (pasta with clams) and second the waitress robbed me 8$ (she decided to fraud my credit card and out of 12$ she took 8$ tip…) I did not realize because my credit card works with a chip and you don t need to sign.., she simply asked me to put my pin # …. and i trusted her ???… only at home did I check my bill … beware of this dump

l’academie is fun…i have gone out of my way numerous times to go there. the reason? good atmosphere and super CHEAP plates…
but let’s admit it,
the food sort of stinks, just not as much as if you were to cook for yourself.
so let’s call it what it is,
a good restaurant for people who can’t afford actual good food, which also offers good ambiance and byob…
